*{{change|Due to the aesthetic used in ''SSB4'', Toon Link has a sleeker design, and his overall color scheme is more vibrant. His torso, arms, and legs are also very slightly shorter. Altogether, these changes make Toon Link appear much more in line with his appearances in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}'' and ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD}}''.}} | *{{change|Due to the aesthetic used in ''SSB4'', Toon Link has a sleeker design, and his overall color scheme is more vibrant.

*{{change|{{GameIcon|ssb4-u}}Toon Link is slightly more expressive. He winces in pain upon being [[screen KO]]'d, raises his eyebrows in surprise during his side taunt, winces depressingly while [[Floor recovery|laying prone or supine]], and his irises [http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/WideEyesAndShrunkenIrises shrink] when he is [[grab]]bed, hit, or launched. Each of these new expressions are based on the {{s|zeldawiki|Picto Box}}'s respective "pained", "awestruck", and "distressed" [[zeldawiki:Photo#Expressions|expressions]] that are available via its selfie feature in ''The Wind Waker HD''.}} | *{{change|{{GameIcon|ssb4-3ds}}Toon Link is slightly less expressive. He now smiles only during his up [[taunt]], [[zeldawiki:Wind Waker (Item)|Wind Waker]] [[victory pose]], and during his defeated/[[Results screen#No Contest screen|No Contest]] animation, instead of also doing so occasionally during certain actions. His irises also no longer shrink when he is hit, launched, or during the ending of down aerial's landing animation. This is presumably to avoid any unnecessary hardware strain.}} | ||

*{{change|Whenever the {{s|zeldawiki|Master Sword}} is swung, its blade glows Alice blue, instead of whitish turquoise. This makes it appear almost identical to its appearance in ''The Wind Waker'' and ''The Wind Waker HD'' when its [[zeldawiki:Power to Repel Evil|power to repel evil]] is fully restored. Additionally, its trail is white and produces afterimages, instead of being a whitish turquoise blur. Lastly, its swings are slightly higher pitched.}} | *{{change|Whenever the {{s|zeldawiki|Master Sword}} is swung, its blade now glows Alice blue, instead of whitish turquoise.
