Link (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)


 * ''This article is about Link's appearance in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. For other uses, see Link.

Link (, Rinku) has been confirmed for Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He appears relatively unchanged from his Super Smash Bros. Melee form. His new look is from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. While Link was right-handed in the Wii version of Twilight Princess, he has returned to his traditional left-handed stance for Brawl. When watching the Japanese trailer, he can be seen performing his spin attack from Super Smash Bros. Melee. Judging by recent footage, his attacks seem to be slightly faster than in Melee, possibly meaning that he'll finally be higher on the tier list, as opposed to both previous games, where he has been low, even at the very bottom at some times, on the tier list.

His B moves have been changed to fit the style of Twilight Princess. Additionally, he now has a taunt where he summons a fairy along with one where he strikes a pose.

Link's On-Screen Appearance has changed since SSB; he now arrives in from a whirlwind, like in the original The Legend of Zelda.

His Final Smash is called the Triforce Slash, and it consists of trapping the enemy between two spinning Triforces and slashing at them repeatedly.

Role In the Subspace Emissary
While Link's part in the plot of The Subspace Emissary is currently unknown, he appears in a screenshot from a cutscene with Yoshi, both watching the Halberd as it flies off. How, and why the characters met is unknown at the moment, but it seems likely that Yoshi and Link will be on a team together. In a more recent video, Link was seen in a dungeon surronded by Fireball-like entites. Later on, he also fought with Yoshi in a ice cave.
