Link is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He was teased in a trailer released on March 8th, 2018 before being fully confirmed as playable on June 12th, 2018.
Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4
Link is based on of his appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. He also has an alternate costume based on the Tunic of the Wild. His moveset now greatly incorporates elements from the game.
Aesthetics
Many of Link's animations have changed to reflecting him using his right hand to attack with his sword, as opposed to past games where he used his left hand.
Attributes
At 0% damage, Link can launch a Sword Beam with a forward smash.
Throws/other attacks
- Link no longer uses the Clawshot for his grabs, instead having standard grabs where he reaches out with one hand. This significantly decreases their lag, but also their range.
Due to Link's Clawshot being retired, he no longer has a grab aerial.
Special moves
- Link's Bow fires two arrows in one shot as opposed to one.
- Link's Boomerang no longer creates a tornado when coming back.
- Link's down special is now the Remote Bomb Rune. It does not explode on contact and is instead manually detonated.
- Link has a new Final Smash where he fires an Ancient Arrow.
