 '''Toon Link''' ({{ja|トゥーンリンク|Tūn Rinku}}, ''Toon Link'') is a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. He was officially confirmed as playable alongside his predecessor {{SSBU|Young Link}} and the rest of veterans on June 12th, 2018. As in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', he is [[unlockable character|unlockable]], instead of being available from the [[starter character|start]]. Toon Link is classified as [[Fighter number|Fighter #43]].
 As in ''Brawl'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'', {{s|wikipedia|Sachi Matsumoto}}'s portrayal of Toon Link from ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker}}'' was repurposed for ''Ultimate''.
+Toon Link is ranked 46th out of 82 on the current [[tier list]], placing him in the B- tier. This is a noticeable drop from his 23rd out of 54 placement in ''SSB4'' and is his worst placement in the series. Toon Link's gameplan is relatively a middle ground between Young Link's strong projectile and combo game and Link's strong kill power or Bomb usage. Toon Link has a pretty strong zoning game thanks to his numerous projectiles in [[Bomb (Link)|Bomb]] and [[Boomerang]]. The former allows him to set up combos or confirm into KOs at higher percents while the latter is a good combo starter or a way for opponents to approach him in neutral. Toon Link's mobility is also among the best of the three Links on the ground, allowing him to catch up or run away from his opponents more reliably. His frame 2 air dodge and floatiness also allow him to escape from more combos too.
+Toon Link has some weaknesses similarly shared to the other Links. Because of his floatiness, it makes him take a while to land back on the ground, making him prone to juggling. Toon Link also has lower range than most other swordfighters who can outrange and pressure better than he can. His recovery is also relatively exploitable as it travels in a predictable path, though it can be mixed up with Bomb Jump.
+Overall, Toon Link is a character with a simple, effective, and consistent gameplan that works when he gets momentum or wins neutral interactions. Toon Link has seen some strong results and representation mostly in Japan, through players, such as {{Sm|Lv.1}} and {{Sm|Sigma}}, who have had strong placements at majors.

 ==Attributes==
 {{incomplete|This section needs an in depth explanation of Toon Link's strengths and weaknesses.}}
-Toon Link is a [[weight|middleweight]], yet boasts above-average [[dash]]ing speed and [[air acceleration]], as well as the ability to [[wall jump]]. However, his [[air speed]] is average and his [[falling speed|falling]] and [[fast fall]]ing speeds are both slow, while his [[gravity]] is low. Although they differ on the majority of their attributes, Toon Link and {{SSBU|Link}} both have above-average [[walk]]ing speeds. Like Link, he also wields his respective version of the {{s|zeldawiki|Master Sword}} and possesses two [[shield]]s, instead of just one. The Master Sword grants Toon Link disjointed range, while the [[Passive shield|Hero's Shield]] blocks opposing [[projectile]]s if he is standing still or walking. Overall, Toon Link's attributes render him as a fairly quick, yet fairly [[Falling speed#Floaty|floaty]] character.

Overall, Toon Link's attributes render him as a fairly quick, yet fairly [[Falling speed#Floaty|floaty]] character.
 As a zoning-orientated character, Toon Link possesses a number of [[projectile]]s. His [[Hero's Bow]], [[Boomerang]] and {{b|Bomb|Link}} enable him to not only force approaches, but also camp effectively. In addition to these strengths, Boomerang and Bomb boast combo potential, with the latter being his most varied and useful combo starter. Thanks to its explosion no longer damaging Toon Link upon contact with an opponent, Bomb now grants him a number of follow-ups at varying percentages. With precise usage, it can be followed by his up smash or forward aerial even at high percentages, both of which are among his most viable KOing options.
@@ Line 30: / Line 38: @@
 Although Toon Link's combo game largely revolves around Bomb, he also possesses non-projectile combo starters. Up tilt is the most effective of these: it can combo into itself, up smash, and Spin Attack at low percentages; a short hopped neutral aerial, short hopped back aerial, and short hopped Spin Attack at low to medium percentages; and forward aerial and up aerial at medium to high percentages. Aside from up tilt, grab aerial can be used as a long-ranged set-up similarly to Bomb, regardless of the opponent's damage, while neutral attack can be jab canceled reliably.
-Toon Link's back throw, however, is unarguably the most notable improvement to his Hookshot-oriented moves. The removal of its initial hitbox in favor of a single, slightly more damaging throw hitbox has resulted in it now having a consistent, albeit unchanged damage output. When this is coupled with the increase to its knockback values, Toon Link's back throw has not only become one of his most viable KOing options, but also one the strongest throws of any kind in the game.
+However, Toon Link has some weaknesses. His grab game is overall very polarized: [[Hookshot]] grants him long-lasting grabs that can grab airborne opponents, and a [[grab aerial]] and [[tether recovery]] that are both very useful, yet his grabs have considerable start-up and ending lag (albeit much less so than in previous installments). By extension, Toon Link's back throw is one of his most viable KO options due to being one of the strongest back throws in the game, while his forward throw is decent for setting up edge-guards and creating space. Conversely, Toon Link's down throw lacks combo potential, which makes it drastically inferior to Link and Young Link's versions. It can almost combo into back aerial. Although Toon Link's up throw is a situational KO option on platforms like Link and Young Link's versions, his back throw utterly outclasses it in this role. As a result, Toon Link's up and down throws are used primarily for setting up aerial pressure, such as by launching an opponent into the trajectory of a previously thrown Boomerang or Bomb.

As a result, Toon Link's up and down throws are used primarily for setting up aerial pressure, such as by launching an opponent into the trajectory of a previously thrown Boomerang or Bomb.
 Toon Link's floatiness makes him particularly susceptible to strong vertical attacks, and renders his recovery quite predictable in spite of its improvements. Unlike other floaty characters, however, Toon Link cannot use his floatiness to perform long aerial combos because of his aerials' considerable ending lag. Toon Link's disjointed range is also somewhat offset by his short size, while the faster pace of ''Ultimate'' makes his defensive, projectile-based gameplan less effective than it was in previous installments.
-Toon Link is a zoner character, as his long-distance projectiles make him play somewhat defensively for much of the match, and [[camp]] with projectiles. Toon Link was initially thought to fare worse in competitive play than in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'' due to the changes and other veterans being buffed to varying degrees, with most top professionals ranking him as a mid-tier, and usually lower than Link and Young Link. However, as the metagame has progressed, many dedicated Toon Link professionals such as {{Sm|Hyuga}}, {{Sm|Ri-ma}}, {{Sm|Sigma}}, {{Sm|Tsuna|p=Germany}} and {{Sm|Xcal}} have seen some strong results with him; as a result, opinions of him have been more positive than before, with most professionals now ranking him closer to the other two Links, and potentially as a high tier character once more.
+Overall, Toon Link is considered a very balanced and fast fighter with a plethora of attack options via his projectiles, tether grab/recovery, and decent frame data. The combination of low ending lag on his forward and back aerials with his slow fall speed allow Toon Link to dominate in the air with combos, while his moderately fast yet fairly useful tilt attacks and reasonably strong smash attacks allow for relatively easy KOs. While his middling weight and slow falling speed make him easier to combo and KO, it is generally agreed that Toon Link's strengths outweigh his weaknesses by a fair margin.

 ==Changes from ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
-Toon Link has received a notable mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''. Many of his standard attacks have been improved, but the general pace of ''Ultimate'', combined with the worsening of his camping tools, seem to counterbalance this. As a result, it's difficult to determine whether Toon Link has been buffed or nerfed overall.
+Toon Link has received a notable mix of buffs and nerfs in the transition from ''SSB4'' to ''Ultimate''. Many of his standard attacks have been improved, but the general pace of ''Ultimate'', combined with the worsening of his camping tools, have annulled his improvements to an extent. As a result, Toon Link has been slightly nerfed overall.
-Several of Toon Link's attacks where he uses the Master Sword have been notably improved, alleviating one of his weaker points from ''SSB4''. Particularly, Toon Link now boasts a vastly buffed ground game compared to ''SSB4'': [[neutral attack]]'s first two hits can now lock, and the third hit now has the tech-chasing ability his adult counterpart has. [[Forward tilt]] has less ending lag and all hitboxes send opponents in front of him. The changes to the [[Sakurai angle]] allow [[down tilt]] to launch aerial opponents lower, improving its tech chasing potential. [[Dash attack]] is much faster, has more range and less endlag, and the sweetspots out-prioritize the sourspot. [[Up smash]] is more consistent on landing the sweetspot, whereas [[down smash]] now has consistent KO potential on both sides of the move instead of pulling opponents into a second hit.

The changes to the [[Sakurai angle]] allow [[down tilt]] to launch aerial opponents lower, improving its tech chasing potential. [[Dash attack]] is much faster, has more range and less endlag, and the sweetspots out-prioritize the sourspot, turning it into a respectable combo starter at low percentages. [[Up smash]] is more consistent on landing the sweetspot, whereas [[down smash]] now has consistent KO potential on both sides of the move instead of pulling opponents into a second hit.
-Toon Link's air game, while seeing less buffs, has also become more useful; additionally, his [[neutral aerial]] has more range, [[forward aerial]] can once again autocancel if performed in a short hop, [[back aerial]] is faster and has regained some of its combo potential, and [[up aerial]] is notably much safer to use due to its altered animation. Finally, Toon Link's Spin Attack has received the most improvements, with the grounded version now being one of the best out of shield options in the game due to it being much faster and gaining KO potential, whereas the aerial version's power and safety have both improved.

-However, Toon Link also received some noticeable nerfs. One of his biggest nerfs was to his [[forward smash]]; the move no longer has a second hit, while its single hit instead is slightly slower, has a much lower damage potential, possesses no mixup or spacing potential, and has a debatably worse hitbox that fails to strike short opponents or ones hanging on an edge. His other major nerf was to his Bombs, which no longer beat weak projectiles and continue on, instead bouncing off of them; this massively worsens their potential in trade and projectile situations. Other nerfs to his [[camping]] ability include his item throws having more ending lag, which worsens his combo game via his Bombs; and his grab aerial now bouncing off of the first projectile or hurtbox it makes contact with, instead of piercing through. Aside from forward smash, a few of his sword-based moves also received some nerfs. Up tilt has slightly inferior combo potential at high percentages due to the changes to knockback, up smash has fewer active frames, and back aerial's already minimal KO potential has been almost totally removed in favor of somewhat restoring its combo potential.

-The universal changes to gameplay mechanics are overall mixed for Toon Link. The reduced landing lag makes it easier for him to combo, and safer to land if his aerials hit. The ability to [[Dash-canceling|use any attack out of a run]] also allows Toon Link more access to his now respectable grounded game. On the other hand, the changes to [[shieldstun]] make his grounded moveset much safer, though it also means shielding opponents are now more likely to punish mispaced aerials as easily. The nerfs to shield grabbing alleviate the negative changes from shieldstun, but combined with other characters also having reduced landing lag, and the changes to shieldstun, this notably worsens his grab game, despite his grabs' much lower ending lag. Finally, the universal increase to mobility further contributes to Toon Link's grounded game (due to his faster [[walk]]ing and [[dash]]ing speeds) and improves his camping ability if he has the advantage (despite his worsened grab aerial and Bombs), but also allows more mobile opponents to close in on the distance to him and/or stay away from him easier.

-Overall, both Toon Link's buffs and nerfs are equally notable, as while he has much more utility in his sword-based attacks, his worsened camping tools and the faster pace of ''Ultimate'' makes his defensive, projectile-based game less effective compared to previous titles. This noticeably changes his playstyle, shifting from primarily a zoner and counter-zoner, to a more movement and pressure-based playstyle that utilizes his sword attacks more. Initially, Toon Link was initially thought to fare worse in competitive play than in ''Brawl'' and ''SSB4'' due to the changes and other veterans being buffed to varying degrees, with most top professionals ranking him as a mid-tier, and usually lower than the two other Links.

Combined with various buffs other veterans have received, Toon Link performs worse than his ''SSB4'' iteration, and while he remains relatively viable, he's widely considered overshadowed by {{SSBU|Young Link}} due to the former's faster air-to-ground mobility, superior damage output, and stronger projectile game.

 ==Update history==
-Aside from glitch fixes and a single nerf to [[Boomerang]], Toon Link has been buffed slightly overall via game updates.
+Toon Link received a mix of buffs, a single nerf and glitch fixes via game updates, but was buffed slightly overall.
+Starting with update 2.0.0, Toon Link's forward aerial can now auto-cancel out of a short hop, greatly buffing the move's utility and offense. He also can now grab the ledge earlier after using his back aerial. Update 3.0.0 nerfed Boomerang's shield damage as a part of a universal nerf to projectiles. Update 3.1.0 made neutral attack connect better, and Toon Link can now shield SDI if a projectiles hits his Hero's Shield thanks to update 4.0.0.
+Update 7.0.0 brought the most noteworthy buffs to Toon Link's kit. His dash attack was given less ending lag, both hits of his down smash now deal more knockback, his back aerial now hits earlier and has a slightly longer hitbox duration. His down aerial is now drastically stronger than it was before due to it now dealing more damage and not having its knockback not fully compensated. And finally, his grab aerial's hitbox lasts 2 frames longer. Due to these changes, Toon Link's KO potential and spacing were improved.
+Update 10.1.0 made Aerial Spin Attack much more consistent by giving it much better hitboxes and a more favorable angle if Toon Link is moving forward.
+Overall, Toon Link fares slightly better than he did at the launch of ''Ultimate''.

-Toon Link is seen as one of the most underrepresented characters in the game, seeing the least amount of tournament play of the the three Links. In the early months of ''Ultimate''{{'}}s release, he was seen as mid-tier and the worst of the three Links. But in Japan, Toon Link's representation stayed very strong thanks to players such as {{Sm|Ri-ma}}, {{Sm|Sigma}} and {{Sm|Lv.1}}. These players have been consistently getting Top 8 and Top 16 at some of the biggest tournaments there, including the second-largest Japanese tournament, {{Trn|Umebura Japan Major 2019}}, and several Sumabato and other Umebura events.

+<!--This character has a ten player limit for this section. Before adding and/or removing a player, read these guidelines: https://www.ssbwiki.com/SmashWiki:Notability#%22Most_historically_significant_players%22_guidelines -->
-Because of this, Toon Link is notably viewed as high-tier among select top players, such as {{Sm|Goblin}} and {{Sm|Nairo}}. Later, update 7.0.0 noticeably strengthened Toon Link's down smash and increased his grab aerial's active frames, as well as granting him a handful of quality of life buffs. These improvements allow him more viability in the current meta of ''Ultimate'', with more players seeing his strengths over the other two Links.

+===Tier placement and history===
+Toon Link saw middling success in the early metagame, most notably in Mexico -- thanks to players such as {{Sm|Ang}} and {{Sm|Hyuga}} -- and Japan -- thanks to players such as {{Sm|Lv.1}}, {{Sm|Ri-ma}}, and {{Sm|Sigma}}. However, Toon Link's representation was not as strong outside of those two regions, mainly due to perceptions that Toon Link was noticeably inferior to Link and Young Link. This perception stemmed from the buffs and changes Link and Young Link received, which made many to consider both characters at least high-tier. Coversely, Toon Link received a mix of buffs and nerfs in his transition, and was seen as a weaker version of Young Link due to having a weaker projectile game and damage output. In addition, most of Toon Link's best players generally only participated at regional-level events, while Ri-ma relegated Toon Link to a secondary in favor of {{SSBU|Joker}}, leaving Sigma as the only notable Toon Link player consistently performing well at majors. As such, many players considered Toon Link to be a mid-tier.
-*{{Sm|Ang|Mexico}} - One of the best Toon Link players in Mexico. Placed 5th at {{Trn|BIT MASTER MTY 3rd IMPACT}}, 9th at both {{Trn|BIT MASTER MTY 6}} and {{Trn|Delfino Maza 2}}, and 17th at {{Trn|WeTecThose 9}} with wins over players like {{Sm|Bedgar}}, {{Sm|CK}}, and {{Sm|Wonf}}. Currently ranked 25th on the [[Mexican Power Rankings]].
+Dedicated mains would continue to push Toon Link, which led his overall representation to remain relatively stable for most of the game's lifespan, usually hovering between the high-30s to low-40s. Although some Toon Link players ultimately fell out of the limelight, newer players would appear and replace them, including {{Sm|Marvelous_Marco}} and {{Sm|JoJoDaHoBo}}, who began placing well at American events in the post-online metagame, and {{Sm|Manzoku}}, who dropped Link for Toon Link during the pandemic. In addition, Lv.1's results began improving, most notably in mid-2023, while Sigma's results remained strong, which ultimately led to him being ranked 44th on the [[UltRank 2022]], the first Toon Link player to be ranked in the top 50 globally. This has led many to believe Toon Link was stronger than previously perceived. As it currently stands, Toon Link is ranked 46th on the tier list as an upper mid-tier and is no longer considered the worst Link, as he is ranked 10 spots above Link.
-*{{Sm|Hyuga|Mexico}} - One of the best Toon Link players in Mexico. Placed 5th at {{Trn|Ragnarok}}, {{Trn|Encuentro Mítico}}, {{Trn|WeTecThose 9}}, and 9th at {{Trn|Smash Factor 8}} with wins over {{Sm|Chag}}, {{Sm|Javi}}, and {{Sm|Yei}}. Currently ranked 6th on the [[Mexican Power Rankings]].

-*In [[World of Light]], Toon Link is one of the few fighters who is not affiliated with [[Dharkon]] in any way, as all of his encounters as himself or as a puppet fighter are all in association with [[Galeem]]. {{SSBU|Ness}}, {{SSBU|Roy}}, {{SSBU|Olimar}}, {{SSBU|Wii Fit Trainer}}, {{SSBU|Little Mac}}, {{SSBU|Squirtle}}, {{SSBU|Ivysaur}}, {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}}, and {{SSBU|Pokémon Trainer}} all share this distinction as well.
 *Toon Link is one of only five characters to predominantly use his left hand to wield his weapon, sharing this trait with {{SSBU|Young Link}}, {{SSBU|Sephiroth}}, {{SSBU|Ice Climbers}}, and {{SSBU|Rosalina & Luma}}.
-*When using his up taunt and in one of his victory screens, Toon Link appears to conduct the Wind’s Requiem with the Wind Waker, which is the first song Link learns in ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''.
+*Toon Link is one of five characters whose unlocking battle in World of Light is not on either Final Destination or a Ω form. The other four are {{SSBU|Peach}}, {{SSBU|Daisy}}, {{SSBU|King K. Rool}}, and {{SSBU|Mii Gunner}}.
+*When using his up taunt and in one of his [[victory screen]]s, Toon Link appears to conduct the Wind’s Requiem with the Wind Waker, which is the first song Link learns in ''The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker''.
