Summary
Changes from SSBWU/3DS
Attributes
- Link's appearance is based off his appearance in The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild when wearing the Champion's Tunic, with his classic appearance being an alternate costume.
- This means now Link is Right-handed, instead of Left-handed like his predecessors.
Ground Attacks
- Link received a new jab combo.
- When at 0%, he can fire a projectile beam from his sword when using his forward smash.
Aerial Attacks
Grabs and Throws
- Link no longer uses the clawshot or hookshot for his grab; as such, he also no longer possesses a tether recovery.
Special Attacks
- All of Link's Special Moves have their appearance updated to reflect its appearance in Breath of the Wild.
- Link can pick up arrows that miss their targets; the next time the bow is used, it will then fire two arrows instead of one. Picked up arrows can also be thrown as items.
- Link's Bombs can be detonated remotely; he is only able to have one bomb on the stage at a time, rather than two.
- The Gale Boomerang has been replaced with an ordinary Boomerang.
- Link has a new Final Smash that replaces Triforce Slash, in which Link uses the Ancient Bow to fire an Ancient Arrow in front of him in a similar fashion to Light Arrow.
