'''Link''' is | '''Link''' ({{ja|リンク}}, ''Rinku'') was confirmed for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' at [[E3]] 2006. His graphics have been completely revamped from his [[Link (SSBM)|''Super Smash Bros. Melee'' form]], since his new look is derived from the game ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', and his special moves have also been changed to fit the style of ''Twilight Princess''. | ||
Link is currently ranked 35th in the Low Tier. Link is equipped with a useful [[DACUS]] that helps his mobility, as well as some camping ability, some of the best overall [[reach]] in his attacks, great [[momentum cancelling]] and the third best potential vertical endurance, and many KO moves. Like his ''Melee'' incarnation, he still has plenty of projectiles, all of which can be useful at different times. Despite his [[projectile]]s and large number of advanced techniques, however, Link in general has poor mobility due to poor [[Dashing|dashing speed]], [[air speed]], and [[jump]]ing ability, poor [[out of shield]] options, one of the worst [[aerial]] games, and sluggish moves in general (his fastest ground attack, jab, has a startup lag of 7 frames, and fastest aerial, [[back aerial]], is 6 frames). The most crippling flaw of Link is his recovery, that has been heavily [[nerf]]ed from ''Melee'' to one of the worst recoveries in ''Brawl'', and often prevents him from fulfilling his amazing endurance potential; [[Spin Attack]] scarcely gives him any horizontal distance (and barely any without prior momentum), his bombs are less effective for recovery, and his hookshot can no longer [[wall grapple]]. This has resulted in very poor match-ups against most characters, and terrible tournament results. | Link is currently ranked 35th in the Low Tier.

===[[Taunt]]s=== | ===[[Taunt]]s=== | ||
*'''Up''': | *'''Up''': Swings his sword twice and twirls the sword before sheathing it. Similar to his ''Twilight Princess'' "victory pose", which he performs after defeating a boss, learning a hidden sword technique, or sheathing his sword upon the defeat of harder-to-defeat enemies. | ||
*'''Down''': | *'''Down''': Link's mysterious taunt from [[Link (SSB)|the original]]. He pulls his knee to his chest and draws his sword back behind his head. Similar to [[Lucario (SSBB)|Lucario's]] down taunt. May be loosely based on Link's attacking pose from ''Zelda II''. | ||
*'''Side''': | *'''Side''': Takes out Navi from ''Ocarina of Time'' (or any fairy that can be obtained in ''Twilight Princess''), who flies around while he watches. | ||
