Tried to make this my most detailed guide to date. Who are we covering next week?

@darthmogusthewise3696 7 years ago

"Links dash attack kills lightweights around 110%" proceeds to kill Ganon at 100%

@bobjeezorham7658 7 years ago

Honestly, Link is quite a bit more complex than I thought. It's quite interesting.

@noblescaleYT 7 years ago (edited)

Hey just an idea: During your outro just play some footage, playing against a fighting CPU, to show off a mixture of all the moves you just talked about. Even if it's just for that short 30 seconds I think it'll be cool.

@anibalhyrulesantihero7021 7 years ago

I miss Adult Link's Hookshot. 😔🙁

@matthewa3413 7 years ago (edited)

You completely forgot about his hylian shield lol

@fishadilla9070 7 years ago

"His hair is pink for unknown reasons"
There's actually two theories on why. One is because of of the palette limits. In the dark world he became that pink rabbit, and that shared the same palette. So, for the pink to be there, there had to be room. Out goes blonde.
The other being because on CRTs the colors blended a bit, having so much Brown on Link would be a little much, so they went with something very contrasting. A lot of SNES games did this, just to differentiate things better.

Bomb video would be useful. Voting for Pac-man or Sonic for next week.

@ChristopherMoom 7 years ago

Just looked in the description, didn't know there were that many alts for Link

@melon9285 6 years ago

I wish up + b would've been paraglider + Revali's Gale instead of the sword spin.

@rinktheredlink9317 7 years ago

Oh yeah, fun facts about link i discovered, links f smash at zero is the strongest in the game, and double arrow is safe on reflectors. Your welcome

@TheRealKim885 7 years ago

I like link but didn't know how to play him before this thanks

@GoalFinisher 4 years ago

The two things I had absolutely no idea about, link can use a smash attack to send out a sword slash from afar so long as he has no damage. And the fact he can pick up his arrows off the ground and either throw it or use it to fire two at once!? That's amazing and never would have figured that out.

@x9x9x9x9x9 7 years ago

When ultimate came out I loved playing link because I sucked and he was easy. Then as I got better I thought "man this forward smash is WEAK!" So I quit playing him. Then a couple weeks ago I finally discovered the second hit thing and my god its awesome.

@rinktheredlink9317 7 years ago

I dont think theres really a specific way you have to play link, unlike cloud and ike who basically have a really basic game plan, link can do all sorts of playstyles and still work. Camping defensive playstyles that are slow, or fast pressure heavy playstyles that use your bomb for comboing and mix ups. Hes very flexible

@josh3895 7 years ago

Any other Link mains??

@77ale 7 years ago

The detail.. I didn’t even know the double arrow thing existed

@SgtEmissary 7 years ago

Link has been one of those characters I've been playing for awhile (I usually get him when I random for some reason so I just rolled with it and picked him up) and I'm convinced that of the three Links here he is the best one considering his power and flexibility, especially with the remote bomb (so many possibilities there). That Remote Bomb is one of those things that changes everything.

Aside from the lack of a grappling hook, with so much flexibility that the other Links lack he's been my 'go-to' Link; he's the thinking man's Link being highly technical based. If you master say Young Link then imagine what you could do with regular Link.

I really think he is a pretty slept on character, so many ride the Young Link train train not realizing his true potential.
