Smash Apprentice
He has little reason to be a clone because he has a lot of his own moves from his game. Usually when you put a character in Smashbros, the character uses attacks based off their history of moves from their game. Sure, Toon Link could be a clone. He is technically just another version of the orginal link, and does have access to all of the original links moves. But we already have original Link in the game. Why have two characters who use the exact same B-moves (or even to lesser extent A moves) when they don't have to. Toon Link has so many interesting traits about him and not only from Wind Waker, since has a bunch of more games of his own now. It just seems like a waste of potential just for the sake of staying with tradition of clones.Why do people say he has little reason to be a clone? That was the point of including him.
Sakurai said there needs to be a child Link, which I agree with to an extent. However, Twilight Princess's Link was more popular, prominent, and was much easier to base off the previous Link's moveset.
That said, at least Toon Link has a very small excuse that he is just another Link. If anyone has fingers pointed at them its Ganondorf. He is a clone of a completely unrelated character. That would be fine if Ganondorf was just a normal guy we didnt know much about fighting wise like CF, but Ganondorf is a warlock (That could even use a sword if it was necassary) with the Triforce of Power. That should just lend itself to several possibilities. It makes very little sense for him to be a clone of anyone outside of "ran out of time".
