*{{nerf|Young Link's fast falling speed is much lower (3 → 2.2) making him more susceptible to juggling.}}
*{{nerf|Young Link's fast falling speed is much lower (3 → 2.2) making him more susceptible to juggling, and increasing his time airborne for SHFFL attacks.}}
*{{change|Young Link has a greater jump height than Link. This makes executing SHFFL attacks more difficult, but allows him to attack in the air easier. It also helps him to deal better against Fox's shinespikes.}}
*{{buff|Young Link has a slightly higher full hop and double jump than Link}}
*{{buff|Young Link has a shorter jumpsquat duration than Link (6 → 4), giving him quicker access to aerials, wavedashing, and platform movement.}}
*{{nerf|Young Link is overall weaker than Link in KO potential. Down smash, dash attack, and neutral air KO better than Link's counterparts, but at the cost of lower knockback on all other moves in addition to lacking Link's Spin Attack finisher.}}

*{{nerf|Young Link's Deku Shield is weaker than the Hylian Shield in protection, as projectiles that are strong enough will ignore and penetrate through the shield.}}
*{{nerf|Young Link's Deku Shield is smaller than the Hylian Shield, projectiles therefore have a slightly lower chance of being blocked by it.}}
*{{buff|Unlike Link, Young Link can wall jump, aiding his recovery, although this is mostly situational.}}

*{{nerf|Young Link's Hookshot is shorter than Link's, significantly reducing its utility as a recovery tool.}}
*{{change|Young Link is significantly lighter than Link (104 → 85). While this drastically worsens his endurance for both horizontal and vertical survival, it makes him far less vulnerable to combos than his older counterpart. In particular, it makes him invulnerable to {{SSBM|Fox}}'s waveshine combos, as he is knocked down by the shine as opposed to pushed back.}}
