Overview

Thrusts his right foot forward to perform a sex kick. A staple in Link’s neutral game, this move has large hitboxes that are useful for clanging and nullifying projectiles, allowing Link to almost completely lock down an opponent's zoning game if they are reliant on projectiles. Deals 11.0% on the early sweetspot, 8.0% on the early sourspot, and 6.0% on the late hits.
