Toon Link (Life & Death)

Toon Link (トゥーンリンク, Toon Link) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Life or Death.
Toon Link is one of the various incarnations of Link from The Legend of Zelda series. While the art style associated with the "Toon" term was technically established during the development cycle of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and was depicted in 2D artwork alongside The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, the first usage of the term itself occurred in Super Smash Bros. Brawl to denote the Hero of Winds from The Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. However, the "Toon" term itself can nevertheless be used to describe the same art style, as Hyrule Warriors demonstrated in regard to the Princess Zelda from The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.
Toon Link is voiced by Sachi Matsumoto in all versions of Life or Death.

 	Name 	Description
Neutral Attack 	N/A 	An outward slash, followed by an inward slash, followed by a forward thrust. It is based on the final series of strikes that the Hero of Time inflicts to Ganon in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
Forward Tilt 	N/A 	A lunging downward slash. It resembles the Z-Targeting slash used by the Hero of Time.
Up Tilt 	N/A 	An overhead arcing slash.
Down Tilt 	N/A 	A kneeling inward slash.
Dash Attack 	N/A 	A lunging outward slash.
Forward Smash 	N/A 	Winds up and then performs an upward slash. Moves Toon Link slightly forwards.
Up Smash 	N/A 	A hopping, overhead arcing slash. Can hit behind Toon Link.
Down Smash 	N/A 	A kneeling inward slash in front of himself, followed by a kneeling outward slash behind himself.
Neutral Aerial 	N/A 	An inward slash followed by an outward slash behind himself.
Forward Aerial 	N/A 	A spinning outward slash. It resembles his rolling Parry Attack.
Back Aerial 	N/A 	Turns around and performs an upward slash behind himself.
Up Aerial 	N/A 	The Jump Thrust.
Down Aerial 	N/A 	A stall-then-fall version of the Down Thrust. Resembles his final strike to Ganondorf's head in The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. Toon Link will not bounce off of any opponents he hits.
Grab Aerial 	N/A 	Fires his Hookshot forward. Can be used to grab edges and is a very useful spacing option.
Grab 	N/A 	Fires his Hookshot forward. It is a tether grab, and thus has higher lag than normal grabs in exchange for much longer range. Has noticeably less ending lag than Young Link's grabs.
Pummel 	N/A 	Quickly hits the opponent with the pommel of the Master Sword.
Forward Throw 	N/A 	A shoulder tackle. Deals collateral damage to bystanders.
Back Throw 	N/A 	Performs the tomoe nage, a judo throw.
Up Throw 	N/A 	Tosses the opponent up into the air and performs a spinning upward slash.
Down Throw 	N/A 	Pins the opponent to the ground and performs an elbow drop.
Neutral Special	Hero's Bow 	Wields his Hero's Bow to fire an arrow. It can be charged up for more power and range. The arrows move much slower than the arrows that Link or Young Link fire, making them easier to avoid. However, this also means that the arrows remain active for longer. It can also lock at low percents.
Side Special 	Boomerang 	Throws his Boomerang forward. It flies forward and then returns to Toon Link. On the way forward, it launches enemies vertically with low base knockback, and on the way back, it launches them towards Link with no base knockback but very high knockback growth, allowing it to set up combos. It can be angled up or down, and inputting it like a smash attack increases its damage, as well as the distance it can travel.
Up Special 	Spin Attack 	Spins rapidly with the Master Sword outstretched. The grounded version is a series of outward slashes, whereas the aerial version is a series of inward slashes. The last hit of both versions has a horizontal launching angle. The grounded version can be charged to inflict even more damage. The aerial version can carry opponents to the upper blast line, and KO them there if they are sufficiently damaged
Down Special 	Bomb 	Pulls out a Bomb.
Final Smash 	Triforce Slash	Uses the Triforce of Courage to emit a thin beam of light from his left hand to stun an opponent in front of himself. If the beam comes in contact with an opponent, Toon Link dashes forward and performs a barrage of slashes while they are trapped in a Triforce-shaped energy field before concluding with an outward slash that shatters the energy field and launches them and any bystanders.

==Fighter Spirits==
Toon Link's Fighter Spirit can be obtained by completing Classic Mode. It is also available periodically for purchase in the shop for 500 coins. Unlocking Toon Link in The Kiss of Death allows the player to preview the first spirit below in the Spirit List under the name "???". As a Fighter Spirit, it cannot be used in Spirit Battles and is purely aesthetic. Each Fighter Spirit has an alternate version that replaces them with their artwork in Life & Death.
