Toon Link is a clone, but not 100% clone of Link. Toon Link has a completely different Up Smash, standard aerial, forward aerial, and back aerial attack, his down aerial has a completely function than Link's, his recovery move catches the foes in range on the ground, unlike Link's. He has a different boomerang than Link's, and his bombs have a cartoony explosion, while Link's bombs have a realistic explosion. And best of all, Link has a new dash attack, while Toon Link uses his old one. And yes, he's lighter and faster, thus he has lesser strength than Link. It would've helped make him feel even lesser of a clone if Sakurai changed Toon Link's final smash into something more unique to his character. *grumble, grumble* X( But overall, I think Toon Link is a great Link clone. :) A billion times better than Young Link, because another reason being is that Young Link is not a different character, just the same hylian as a little boy. Toon Link is a Cartoon Link. So if Toon Link is made as a replacement for Young Link, then that's perfect!
