'''Toon Link''' is one of the many playable characters in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''. His moveset is heavily altered from ''[[Brawl]]'', mixing in elements from both {{SSBM|Young Link}}'s and ''Smash 64'' {{SSB|Link}}'s movesets. | '''Toon Link''' is one of the many playable characters in the ''[[Brawl]]'' mod ''[[Project M]]''.

Thus, as in ''Brawl'', Toon Link must rely on his projectiles to soften up opponents before using his fast movement and attacking speed to overwhelm them. While his camping power allows him to make mistakes when foes are at range, he must finish foes in close combat quickly and accurately, especially when he is edgeguarding, as his own predictable recovery and light weight make it easy for foes to reverse the match and KO him. | Thus, as in ''Brawl'', Toon Link must rely on his projectiles to soften up opponents before using his fast movement and attacking speed to overwhelm them.

Toon Link has seen a mix of buffs and nerfs from the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''Project M''. He has been significantly reworked with some of his moves being based on {{SSB|Link}} although he was mainly changed to more closely resemble {{SSBM|Young Link}}. Toon Link overall has greater KO potential and his specials were re-purposed to give him greater stage control. He also has greater combo potential as the removal of [[hitstun canceling]], the universally increased falling speeds and the introduction of L-canceling have given him much more potent juggling. | Toon Link has seen a mix of buffs and nerfs from the transition from ''Brawl'' to ''Project M''.

The hilt of the sword has a powerful hitbox that applies a strong {{b|magic|effect}} effect onto the opponent while [[spike|spiking]] them, while the other hitboxes have very powerful vertical knockback. If an opponent or shield is hit, the player will 'bounce' off with the sword and potentially hit multiple times, dealing lower damage and fixed, light knockback. | ||

When used on the ground, it is a very damaging multi-hit move, and in the air it is a powerful finisher which decreases in damage over time, similarly to a [[sex kick]]. The move can be charged on the ground, increasing damage and knockback as well as increasing the distance that Toon Link can move sideways during the move. This move is an amazing finisher when used in the air, netting KOs as early as 80% on some characters, and is an effective [[Out of shield|out-of-shield]] option on the ground. | ||

==Alternate costumes== | |||
===Project M=== | |||
Beginning in 2.0, Toon Link received an alternate costume based on his casual clothing (also known as the {{s|zeldawiki|Hero's New Clothes}}) from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}''. When using the alternate costume, Toon Link wears a patterned jumper, bracelets and brown pants instead of his normal {{s|zeldawiki|Hero's Clothes}}, and no cap. He also uses the {{s|zeldawiki|Hero's Sword}} (given to him near the beginning of the game by Orca, the island's swordsman) instead of the Master Sword, along with an original wooden shield based on Young Link's {{s|zeldawiki|Deku Shield}} from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}''. This costume has two additional recolors so that it can be used in [[Team Battle]]s. | |||

|} | |} | ||
The recolors for the outset costume references the goddesses of the {{s|zeldawiki|Triforce}}. The front bears their symbols from the {{s|zeldawiki|Goddess Pearls}} he must collect in ''Wind Waker'', while the back bears the emblems of the {{s|zeldawiki|Spiritual Stones}} that [[Young Link]] must collect in ''Ocarina of Time''. | |||
*Blue: While based off the normal clothes, it also references {{s|zeldawiki|Nayru}}, who represents Wisdom. | |||
*Green: References {{s|zeldawiki|Farore}}, who represent Courage. | |||
*Red: References {{s|zeldawiki|Din}}, who represents Power. | |||
===Project+=== | |||
Toon Link received new costumes representing various ''Zelda games'' that use the "Toon Link" design. | |||
* Orange - Inspired by the colors of [[zeldawiki:Bokoblin|Blue Bokoblins]] as they appear in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}'' | |||
His Outset outfit introduced in ''Project M'' was updated to better accurately represent Toon Link's adventures throughout the Great Sea. The goddess emblems have been removed on the first three recolors which, alongside three additional recolors, now bear emblems as seen on the various [[zeldawiki: Special Chart|charts]] crucial to Link's quest throughout the Adult Timeline of ''Zelda'' lore. These include: | |||
* Green - Based on Tingle's Chart and the IN-credible Chart, key items that are related to [[Tingle]]. Befitting this, the outfit bears an emblem of Tingle's head. | |||
* Red - Based on red charts that reveal hidden treasure, like the Octo Chart, Beedle's Chart, Light Ring Chart, etc. The outfit bears an emblem of a question mark. | |||
* Purple - Based on the Triforce Charts, which reveal locations of the scattered pieces of the Triforce of Courage. Befitting this, the outfit bears the signature [[Triforce]]. This costume is a darker purple with a white emblem, compared to the chart's original lighter purple with a golden emblem. | |||
* Black - Based on the Ghost Ship Chart needed to locate the signature {{s|zeldawiki|Ghost Ship}}. The outfit bears an emblem of a skull and crossbones, a symbol often depicted on pirate ships. This costume is black with a white emblem, compared to the chart's original biege with a blue emblem. | |||
* Gold - Based on the {{s|zeldawiki|Treasure Map}} seen in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass}}''. The colors of this costume are an inversion to the chart's original design. | |||
His third costume is based on [[zeldawiki:Linebeck%27s_Uniform#Tri_Force_Heroes|an outfit]] found in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Triforce Heroes}}'', itself inspired by {{s|zeldawiki|Linebeck}} from ''The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass'', sans the mustache. Extra details include changing his shield to match its ''Phantom Hourglass'' design and replacing the Master Sword with the {{s|zeldawiki|Phantom Sword}}. | |||
[[File:Toon Link Palette (P+).png|1120px|thumb|center|Toon Link's alternate costumes in P+]] | |||
'''Z-Secret Costume (Conductor Link):''' Based on the protagonist from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks}}'', a train engineer for New Hyrule. Rather than the traditional green, he dons a dark blue engineer suit, brown belt and gloves, and a red cap with a dove. The Master Sword is replaced with the {{s|zeldawiki|Lokomo Sword}}, and his shield now matches its ''Spirit Tracks'' design. | |||
'''R-Secret Costume (Minish Cap)''': Based on the protagonist from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap}}'', who plays a pivotal part of shaping the Four Sword Saga. Extra details include his sword being replaced with the {{s|zeldawiki|Smith's Sword}}, and his standard cap is replaced with {{s|zeldawiki|Ezlo}}, a Minish sage who is turned into a green hat until the end of the game. | |||
==Trivia== | ==Trivia== | ||
*In v3.0, Toon Link's costume had an odd hole in his head, and crashed the game when a Metal Box was used. | *In Project M v3.0, Toon Link's costume had an odd hole in his head, and crashed the game when a Metal Box was used. | ||
* | *In ''Project M'', Toon Link is the only version of Link with an alternate costume that does not include his signature hat. ''Project+'' would include three more costumes that follow this trait, bringing it up to four. | ||
**The Outset and Lineback costumes give him no hat at all. The secret costumes give him different hats altogether; the engineer cap and Ezlo (who acts as a "hat" of sorts). | |||
