I like it. An excellent guide for anyone looking to pick up Link.

Very good video guide! Good quality. Pretty much covering everything. Lots of new things I learned from watching.

I think you may have missed Dtilt.

We need to get a Link guide up in the guide section. This video would be PERFECT for it.

hank you guys.

Right now i'm uploading n updated version covering Toss Cancel (I didn't know about it, a comment in the video told me about it).

@ Scabe what do you mean I missed Dtilt?

Awesome stuff here. I'm going to go add it to the Find It Here thread.
I was just talking to one of my friends about how awesome it would be if we had a video guide on our board. It would be just one more thing to help set us apart from many of the other character discussion boards.

Thank you

I edited this thread an added an updated version of the guide, including Toss Cancel

When I was told this Link was going to be the Ocarina of Time version of him, I decided to use him at least as a secondary for this Smash as a tribute to the love I have for the game. When I started using him I was frustrated for how slow he was (maybe even slower than the Brawl version), I was guessing he was destined to once again be a Low tier.

But watching this guide just gave me the hopes and idea that even if he is slow and has quite some lag on most attacks, the lag can be canceled, has very strong attacks, a good set of combos and follow-ups and the Bomb recovery is simply amazing. My biggest fear was the recovery, but I guess bombs take care of that matter. I'll be watching more of this. Let's hope I get a hand at this.

That was one of the best video guides I have ever seen. I learned so much new stuff today! (I mained Link in the demo, still one of my secondaries).

That "throw the gale boomerang against the stage when the opponent is recovering to screw up their recovery" tidbit made my jaw drop. It's insanely viable and awesome!! Even though I prefer the normal boomerang (custom 2), no doubt I'll be using that "tech" a few times!

Why are people surprised over this? Link mains have been doing this since early Brawl meta. It makes me kinda sad because it just shows how unrepresented Link really was, since most of this info (not a critique on the guide btw) was already known in early Brawl days and even seems basic to me (which makes it a decent intro guide video for newcomers. Basics rule).

We need to change that and rep Link more...

Well add me to the list of people who just friggin learned that this tech even existed. How about stickying this topic?

Same here, fellow Falcon! I only used Link in FFAs back in Brawl, though, probably because I never bothered to check out Link's forums and techniques.
