Toon Link is a playable character from Super Smash Bros. Brawl. His model is based off of Link's cel-shaded appearance in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (which is whom the fighter is based on), The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass, and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.
Additionally, Toon Link seems to have directly replaced Young Link who was playable in Super Smash Bros. Melee.
Toon Link's attack style is a clone of Link's, and he is unlocked by completing the Subspace Emmisary and fighting him in a hidden door in The Forest. He can also be unlocked by completing Classic Mode as Link or playing 400 brawls. Being a clone, his moveset is similar to Link's:
B: Hero's Bow
B►: Boomerang
B▲: Spin Attack
B▼: Bomb
He utilizes only his sword and no kicks, unlike Link. In addition, he can use the hookshot to grab opponents from a short distance and to grab ledges. His three taunts include waving the the Wind Waker around followed by a musical note, sheathing his sword and shield and glancing from from side to side, and swinging his sword wildly in a comical fashion.
[edit] Trivia
- Although the name is not canon, Toon Link is often referred to by fans as Celda, a portmanteau of "cel-shaded" and "Zelda."
- One of Toon Link's palette swaps feature him with brown sleves and slightly darker hair and tunic colour. This is a reference to the tunics worn by Link in the earlier games, such as The Legend of Zelda and Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.
- Toon Link's red, blue and purple palette swaps are a refrence to the Link copies from The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords and The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. There is even an event match titled Four Swords which includes Toon Link in each of the colours competing for coins much Like the system of collecting Rupees and Force Gems in the above game.
