===Extended Boomerang=== | ===Extended Boomerang=== | ||
Link's boomerang ([[neutral special]] attack) goes farther if it is treated as a [[smash]] attack. Quickly tap the control stick to the side while hitting [[B]] to extend the range. | Link's boomerang ([[neutral special]] attack) goes farther if it is treated as a [[smash]] attack.

===Extended Boomerang Ledge Boost=== | |||
Link's extended boomerang, if used at the right distance from a ledge to allow Link to maintain momentum after dashing, results in Link going significantly further in midair during the boomerang throw animation. This is useful when performing a combo on an opponent who is slightly too far for the boomerang to hit. | |||
===Bomb Gift=== | |||
Lightly throwing a bomb so that it lands on a platform near a spawning opponent is a popular [[mindgame]] as the latter will often be tempted to pick the bomb up. This results in the player losing the invincibility frames granted by the spawn. | |||
===Off Ledge Spin Attack=== | |||
Performing a grounded Spin Attack right after Link's initial dash while running off a ledge will result in Link continuing his spin attack in midair without the animation changing to his aerial spin attack. This rarely has any uses outside top Link players using it to edgeguard or complete combos. | |||
===Bomb Recovery=== | ===Bomb Recovery=== | ||
Like {{SSB|Samus}}, Link can use his bombs to aid his [[recovery]]. However, unlike {{SSB|Samus}}, Link must use a bit of technical skill and timing. While recovering, pull out a bomb and drop it slowly below Link. Continue to DI toward the [[stage]] and then use his [[back aerial]]. This will cause Link to explode toward the platform. Use his [[Up B]] and land back safely. Note that Link will not be able to grab the [[edge]] because the explosion causes him to face the other direction. To counter this, throw his [[boomerang]] before using his [[Up B]]. This technique is extremely situational and extremely difficult to perform. Even if one could perform it poorly helps to recover in very few cases. | Like {{SSB|Samus}}, Link can use his bombs to aid his [[recovery]].
