Link is also heavy, which means he is harder to [[KO]] than normal, but it along with his size also makes him easier to [[combo]]. Link has some [[combo]] moves himself, including his up tilt, back aerial, and up aerial, as well as his aforementioned projectiles. His down aerial, forward smash, down smash, and projectiles are his main edgeguarding moves. He is one of the only two characters in the game (along with {{SSB|Pikachu}}) to not have a [[meteor smash]], which can give him some minor trouble edgeguarding. | Link is also heavy, which means he is harder to [[KO]] than normal, but it along with his size also makes him easier to [[combo]].

Link is low on the tier list because he is very easy to combo and edgeguard, which allows many characters to get him offstage quickly and finish him off, if not [[zero-death]]ing him outright. Link relies solely on his projectile camping to avoid this. Link is not helped by the fact that {{SSB|Dream Land}} is the only legal stage in competitive play. When [[Hyrule Castle]] was legal, he could rely on projectile camping there far more than on Dream Land. | Link is low on the tier list because he is very easy to combo and edgeguard, which allows many characters to get him offstage quickly and finish him off, if not [[zero-death]]ing him outright.
