Link

Link is a veteran fighter in Super Smash Bros. Extreme.

Aesthetics

 * Linkle is now an alternate skin for Link.

Ground Attacks

 * Link shoots out his 0% beam using his forward tilt instead of his Side Smash.

Grab

 * Link's hookshot tether grab returns, and like with all tethers, it can be angled up or down.

Smash Attacks

 * Side Smash now always executes 2 hits. Because of this, the move is faster.

Special Moves

 * Link uses Gale Boomerangs instead of Boomerangs. Unlike before, however, the Gale Boomerangs no longer have a windbox. They work like boomerang versions of the Mii Swordfighter's Gale Strike.
 * Link can now move sideways during Hero's Spin.
