http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olL1UobnAnY&feature=youtube_gdataHow is Toon Link in third? With Dr Mario gone he is far and away the least necessary character, just taking up space that could be used for someone worthwhile .
I didn't say he was useless, I said he was unnecessary. The game already has one Link, it doesn't need a second one taking up roster space that could be used by an interesting character. Why couldn't they have just made normal Link worthwhile for once?
Any LoZ character could be decent, that's up to the developers. Tingle could have been the best character in Brawl if Sakurai had wanted it. That doesn't mean Toon Link is a good addition to the game, it just means that they did a poor job of balancing the game. And TL isn't "taking over" for regular link, they're the same **** character. If a difference in art style is all it takes to make a new character, than why not SNES Link or Early 3-D Link? We could have an entire smash roster just filled up with different Links! Be wary of Original Game Boy Link, the poor graphics quality makes his moves hard to read and overpowered. With the exception of WW (Which I personally liked but is widely considered to be awful), all the games you listed are hand held games. This doesn't mean that the beloved classic Link is being replaced by some alternate universe Toon Link, it just means that hand helds don't have the graphical capabilities that a home gaming consul hooked up to a TV does so developers use a simpler graphics style to compensate. At least Dr Mario had the decency to put on a lab coat, Toon Link is just the same character appearing twice and taking up a roster space that could have been used for an unrepresented series (I'd like Isaac from Golden Sun), an under represented series (Metroid could use some love) or another 3rd party character (So people could shut up about wanting Mega Man already).According to you, the spot should have been used for something esle. Why did you mean by that? And toon link is for the people who want want a DECENT LoZ character. And he's just plain win.
Oh, and did I also mention that toon link is starting to take over the role of link?Toon link (or another form of toon link) has been in Minish Cap, Four Swords, Four Swords adventures, Wind Waker, Phantom Hourglass, and Spirit tracks. Despite being much newer, he's been in only two games less than the "normal" link.
Move set defines playstyle, not the character's actual identity. Even if Link and TL play differently they're both still the protagonist of the Legend of Zelda series and the same **** character. Smash isn't just a fighting game, its also a collection and celebration of Nintendo's history and a second Link does a poor job of expanding upon that. Sakurai could have made another quick, floaty projectile based character in the same roster spot who would have added to the theme of a collection of Nintendo's greatest heroes and villains without wasting a roster spot on a second Link. TL should be a trophy, not a character.I forgot to mention toon link and link have many differences (weight, speed, etc. Etc.) thus giving them very different playstyles, and making them seperate characters.

Eww, so many people like Toon Link. =.=
jks ^^
Face it bud, Toon link is a clone. I'll give that he's better in almost every way from reg. link, but one of them should have been replaced with a more interesting character (tingle).According to you, the spot should have been used for something esle.
