Hey man I don't think I've had the pleasure of meeting you/playing you but I've seen vids of your Tl and it's really good stuff.
To be honest I've played jerm only a handful of times and I can't really say I'm an expert at the matchup, but I'll tell you what I know.
In my opinion I have an easy time dealing with Toon Links campiness, zss is faster than him both in the ground and in the air, and powershielding bombs or boomerangs isn't really that hard. Zss wins in the air (toon link does not want to be above zss ever because uair wrecks tl) Tl's best moves in this match up (in my opinion) are bair and nair. Bair zones out zss and nair is pretty good spacing tool/occasional mix up when switching from camping to aggro. Nair isn't safe on shield (she can uair out of shield which is never good for tl), I don't really know about bair though because it has significantly less end lag.
Zss jab completes on tl unless he sdi's down. Do not whiff grabs because it's a free dsmash combo aka 30+% and or death. Don't be afraid to actually approach zss and get in her. In my opinion zss does better when she has to get through camp (because of how fast she is and a couple of her zoning tools), however if she is massively pressured (because of her lack of grab) she could have a lot of trouble dealing with it. You're probaby best off switching between the two playstyles and seeing which one works better for you against the specific player.
Do not fish for kills ever. Don't try to kill with an obvious usmash. You're best kill moves in this mu are bair,nair,utilt, and fair. I wish I had videos to show you : /
Sorry I took so long to answer; Think of this as a Christmas present
Merry Christmas!!!
