Link

Link is one of eight characters available at the beginning of Super Smash Bros. Link sports his traditional green Kokiri Tunic (the player can also choose from several alternate tunic colors inspired by Link's Ocarina of Time tunics: the red Goron Tunic and blue Zora Tunic along with a purplish-white and a black tunic). He also has some of his usual arsenal from The Legend of Zelda series at his disposal, including bombs, his boomerang and a hookshot.

Link is also one of the 14 playable characters available from the start in Super Smash Bros. Melee, the 2001 sequel to Super Smash Bros. In Melee, he has his bow in addition to the equipment he brought with him to the original Super Smash Bros. Also playable in the game, as a secret unlockable character, is Young Link, the youthful Link from most of the games in the series. Modeled after the Ocarina of Time/Majora’s Mask version of the hero, Young Link is more agile but weaker than the older Link.

On May 10, 2006, at an after-hours press conference during E3, Link became one of the first confirmed fighters in the Wii installment of the franchise, Super Smash Bros. Brawl. This time his appearance is influenced by his character model from Twilight Princess. It is still unknown if Young Link will return in Super Smash Bros Brawl.
