As pointed out by [[Sakurai]], it is faster than its ''Melee'' counterpart. Even when the attack isn't charged up, the arrows fly farther than in ''Melee''. Toon Link's arrows shoot at a very slight upwards angle and are noticeably "floatier" than Link's; it is slightly slower traveling through the air than Link's arrows. | ||
Link can still hold the arrow in place when it's fully charged. A fully charged arrow is strong enough to KO a character in Sudden Death. A fully charged arrow also has great range, useful for stopping approaches. | Link can still hold the arrow in place when it's fully charged.

Melee|''Melee'']]. With this version, Young Link shoots flaming arrows that do not travel as far as Link's and do slightly less damage. However, it has more [[Flinch|hitstun]] than the other bows, and sets the foe on fire. | ||
{{SSBM|Kirby}}'s use of the attack (after copying Young Link) is similar to a Combo Ability (specifically, Burning/Needle) in ''Kirby 64: The Crystal Shards'', where Kirby turns into a bow and can shoot flaming arrows. In ''Melee'', he uses Young Link's Bow. | |||

The | The bow is one of Link's main weapons in [[The Legend of Zelda (universe)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. In [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|''Ocarina of Time'']], Link could use fire arrows, as well as ice and [[Light Arrow]]s. In ''Melee'', Link and Young Link's bow are based on the Fairy Bow from ''Ocarina of Time'' appearance; this is odd, as Young Link could not use the Fairy Bow or fire arrows in ''Ocarina of Time'', but could use the Hero's Bow and fire arrows in ''Majora's Mask''. In ''Brawl'', Link's Hero's Bow is derived from [[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|''Twilight Princess'']], while Toon Link's is from [[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|''The Wind Waker'']]. | ||
