Toon Link's moves are virtually the same as the standard Link, but there are some differences. One of the most obvious is his down-special attack: his bombs. The explosion looks like it did in Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass-cartoony orange swirls of smoke puff out from the point of impact. The difference is not strictly cosmetic, as the large smoke puff has a greater range but less power. |

Link's down-air is similar to Toon Link's, but unlike Toon Link, he does not travel downwards any faster. Additionally, all of Link's kick attacks, such as his neutral air and back air, have been replaced with additional sword slashes to compensate for Toon Link's tiny legs. |

Toon Link (トゥーンリンク, Tūn Rinku) is one of Link's multiple incarntions, except typically portrayed in a cel-shaded art style. He appears as a fighter in Super Smash Bros. Brawl based on the Hero of Winds.
Character Description
Toon Link, like most of the "Links", is a different Link to that of Twilight Princess. Toon Link's art style has been used for other Links in The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker (which is whom the fighter is based on), and The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass.
In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, set hundreds of years after Ocarina of Time, the gods have flooded Hyrule, creating the Great Sea, encompassing the highest mountaintops of Hyrule. At the beginning of the game, Link's younger sister Aryll is captured by Helmaroc King, a giant masked bird controlled by the game's primary antagonist Ganondorf, the latter of which is searching for Princess Zelda. Link travels the Great Sea to rescue his sister and defeat the Helmaroc King; his quest intertwining with that of The King of Red Lions, who reveals, after many trials, that Link is the "Hero of Winds". Using the Wind Waker, a magical conductor's baton, he borrows the power of the gods to aid him in his quest. The wand's user interface is similar to that of the Ocarina of Time, but uses tempo in addition to pitch to form tunes. Link must eventually reassemble the Triforce of Courage to give him the power to fight Ganondorf. After Ganondorf's defeat , Hyrule drowns under the sea forever.
Sometime after, Link and Tetra sail for new lands and is where The Legend of Zelda: The Phantom Hourglass picks up afterwards.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Toon Link in Brawl.
Main Article: Toon Link (SSBB)
Toon Link is a secret character in Brawl, unlocked by either clearing the Subspace Emissary and clearing Classic mode with Link on any difficulty, clearing the Subspace Emissary and going through the hidden door in The Forest stage, or by participating in 400 brawls.
Toon Link's moves are virtually the same as the standard Link, but there are some differences. One of the most obvious is his down-special attack: his bombs. The explosion looks like it did in Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass-cartoony orange swirls of smoke puff out from the point of impact. The difference is not strictly cosmetic, as the large smoke puff has a greater range but less power.
His Standard-Special attack, Hero's Bow, is also different. The arrows shot fly slower, but farther than Link's arrows. His Spin-Attack (up-special) isn't changed much, with the exception of hiss posture while spinning- Toon Link stands straight up while Link bends his right leg and his back, and that it traps foes within, inflicting multiple hits of damage, before launching them away. The boomerang (side-special) is different because it does not pull opponents like Link's does, and supplies more control when throwing it.
Toon Link, like Young Link in Melee, also has the ability to wall jump. While Link's jumping and falling styles are heavier and faster, Toon Link's jumps are larger and have a floaty quality to them. Toon Link is faster than Link, and Toon Link's dash-attack is less powerful in proportion. Additionally, Toon Link's up-smash attack is only one slash while Link's is three. If you perform Toon Link's down-air, he will smash downwards with his sword similar to many other Stall-Then-Fall attacks. Interestingly, this move pushes characters and items away, and slides down slopes like Stone. Link's down-air is similar to Toon Link's, but unlike Toon Link, he does not travel downwards any faster. Additionally, all of Link's kick attacks, such as his neutral air and back air, have been replaced with additional sword slashes to compensate for Toon Link's tiny legs.
Trophy Info
Toon Link has a trophy that is awarded each time the Classic mode is completed with Toon Link on any difficulty. See Triforce Slash for the trophy description of Toon Link's Final Smash:
Toon Link
Link as he appeared in The Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, with big eyes and an expressive face. He lived peacefully on Outset Island until a bird captured his little sister, and he came to her rescue. In The Wind Waker, he had to crawl, press up to walls, and the like. His green clothes were worn on his 12th birthday and are the lucky outfit of the hero of legend.

- Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass (2007)
Outset Link
Link in his traditional clothing. He wears a blue, V-neck, long-sleeved top with a shrimp pattern, coordinated with slender orange pants. It makes you think that, even on his home, Outset Island, Link was quite the fashion leader, and suggests that he may have changed into his green hero's clothing somewhat grudgingly.
