Weight isn't the only factor. Young Link is faster than regular Link and has flaming arrows, and being a clone doesn't mean they're automatically worse. It's very easy to combo with Pikachu, and he's also very fast, agile, and strong. Samus and Ganondorf are rather slow and heavy, making them hard to work with. Not impossible to work with, but harder than characters like Pikachu.
