Link (リンク, Link) is a starter character in Super Smash Bros. He is the sole representative of The Legend of Zelda series. Having many disjointed melee attacks and two projectile weapons, Link can be a hassle to approach. However, his lack of speed and maneuverability cause problems for Link in approaching an opponent. In fact, much of Link's strategy consists of standing back, throwing a few projectiles, and waiting for an opening. Due to his slow ground movements and attacks, it is imperative that Link players be able to not only short hop, but be able to input an attack immediately afterward.

| dashdmg

| nairdesc
| - Link performs a jump kick in midair. This attack acts as a sex kick, meaning it gets weaker the longer it stays out. This attack is best used as a defensive move, seeing how even when it first comes out, there is not much KO power unless used in the air for an edge-guard.
|
| bairdmg
| |
| usmashdesc
| - Link performs three upward slashes, being a good move for damage racking as long as the foe doesn't DI out of it. Best suited for heavier characters. This move is somewhat weak for KO-ing; however, at lower percentages it can lead into itself, and aerial follow-up, or a Spin Attack.

| dairdesc
| - Link holds his sword downward to stab opponents below him. This attack has great horizontal knockback and it is possible to hit the same enemy twice to have this move inflict 32% altogether at once. This move can be used to KO recovering foes by jumping directly at them and using this attack; but this is only safe if the bounce of the connected hit allows Link to return to the stage. Contains substantial landing lag when the player lands on the ground while using the move if not Z-cancelled.

| utiltdesc
| - Link quickly swings his sword in a small arc above his head. This move can be chained together and is good for leading into combos; usually into a forward tilt or a neutral aerial. This move can usually KO a foe reliably at extremely high percentages such as 200%. Changes heavily in Japanese version of Super Smash Bros., dealing 14% damage and being able to shield break and launches enemies at a slightly different trajectory.

| dtiltdesc
| - Link swings his sword at the foes's feet, usually knocking them upwards. At lower percentages, this attack can be followed-up into a forward smash, a forward tilt, or even a grab. At higher damages, in most cases, it knocks the foe far enough to prevent any real quick follow-up attack.
|
| dsmashdesc
| - Link swiftly slashes with his sword in front of and behind him. The attack is useful as close-up defensive move but also has a good KOing property. This move is one of Link's few moves that come out near-instantaneously, and the ending lag is also rather low.
