Young Link (Super Smash Flash)

Young Link is a playable veteran unlockable character in Super Smash Flash, coming from universe. He is a clone character of , having the same moves with slightly different properties applied to them. This said, Young Link's sprites were also made by SemiJuggalo, who also sprited Link, in a Mega Man Zero-like style as well.
Young Link is ranked at 24th on the current tier list, placing him in the C tier, two spots above Link.
== Attributes ==
Young Link has high jumps and two solid projectiles that deal good damage. However, his horizontal movement is fairly slow, and his arrow has a very high startup lag. His best projectile, the Boomerang, has limited range, too.
Compared to , Young Link is slightly faster and shorter, giving him an advantage over Link. However, his neutral attack is even laggier than Link's, and Young Link has even more trouble recovering when knocked off-stage. Despite that, Young Link's differences from Link are overall positive, making him slightly higher than Link in the tier list.
=== Hard data ===
The table below refers to Young Link's hard data values.
== Moveset ==
Attack 	Image	Description 	
 	 	Takes out his Bow and shoots a single arrow lit on fire (which is merely cosmetic as flame effects are not present in SSF) that travels in a horizontal trajectory. 	3%
Side attack	 	Slashes thrice with the Kokiri Sword. The first two hits are horizontal slashes, with the first one having a rather small hitbox compared to the second returning slash. The final is an arched slash that encircles Young Link's head, and its hitbox is considerably larger and has the most range out of the three cuts.	3%
Down attack	 	Throws a boomerang that travels across the floor and then returns through the air, which makes it possible to hit not only opponents on the ground but also airborne opponents. The returning trait of the boomerang is unique among other projectiles, though Young Link is unable to catch it back. 	3%
Up attack 	 	Performs the Jump Thrust, stabbing upwards and damaging opponents directly above him; by attacking while jumping, the attack is more reminiscent to its original source. 	4%
 	 	Utilizes the Down Thrust, shoving the Kokiri Sword downwards and damaging opponents directly below him. On contact with an opponent, Young Link will bounce upwards slightly. Oddly, he will get a bigger boost if he is player 2 in the match. 	4%
