Toon Link (SSS)

:This article is strictly about how Toon Link appears in Super Smash Stadium. He doesn't have any information on him in general per se, but you can see zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker for information about the game he comes from.
Toon Link is a playable character on Super Smash Stadium. He debuted close to the end of Season 24, alongside Pirate Ship.
==In his own universe==
Link is the star of the Legend of Zelda series, and over the course of the series' history, there have been multiple protagonists known as Link. This version of Link was the third to debut on SSS, and is based on the incarnation of Link seen in LZ: The Wind Waker, LZ: The Minish Cap, LZ: Phantom Hourglass, and LZ: Spirit Tracks. He's likely called "Toon Link" because of the extremely cartoony style that his games are rendered in, which in Wind Waker was accomplished via a then-new technique known as "cel shading".
However, Wind Waker was a very controversial game when it was released, and the cel-shaded art style was commonly cited as one reason. Many of the game's haters referred to it as "The Legend of CELda". There WERE other reasons, of course, but the cel shading stands out the most. The game has gained a cult following in recent years, though.
==Attributes==
Of the three Links, Toon Link is in the middle when it comes to height, meaning he can avoid some things that adult Link can't, but not Young Link. He is the lightest of the three Links, as well as the fastest, and his strength is in between adult and Young Link.
Like the other Links, Toon Link has a "special" shield which causes most projectiles that hit him from the front to fail. Toon Link uses the Hookshot for his grab, and he can use it for an alternate recovery, too. His down air can Meteor Smash, but it does not light opponents on fire like Young Link's when he does so.
===Changes===
*Season 39: Took a bit of a power nerf, but most of his flaws were patched up.
===Moveset===
Entrance: "Explodes" in, apparently by way of one of his bombs.
Move Name	Description
Neutral Special:
Bow and Arrows	Same as the Season 15-46 incarnation of Link's neutral special, but the arrows shot go slower.
Cannot kill.
Side Special:
Boomerang	Similar to adult Link's non-gale Boomerang. It's slower, but does slightly more damage each hit.
Kills at 200%.
Up Special:
Spin Attack	Similar to the other Links' incarnations of the move. Toon Link's version has him gaining the most height out of the move, to the point where anyone caught in it could suffer a cheap death if he makes it to the top kill zone. However, the last hit launches horizontally.
Kills at 180%.
Down Special:
Bomb	Similar to Young Link's bomb, as well as Adult Link's pre-Season 47 bomb, aside from its cartoony explosion. That explosion is slightly bigger than theirs, though, giving the move more range.
Kills at 150%.
Final Smash:
Triforce Slash	Toon Link locks on to the closest opponent, traps them in the Triforce, and slashes them silly, racking up as much as 103% on them and likely killing them. Any bystanders will take indirect damage via the Triforce.
The only other difference between this move and Young Link's version of the move is the fact that Toon Link's makes "squishy" noises, whereas Young Link's makes metallic sounds since Season 47 (prior to this, Young Link's move also made squishy sounds, probably due to adult Link having a Triforce Slash as well).
Kills at 75%.
===Taunts===
*Up Taunt: Conducts music using his Wind Waker baton.
*Side Taunt: Looks around confused. Since Season 39, the taunt functions more like adult Link's, with Navi flying around him.
*Down Taunt: Swings his sword wildly and screams, then pauses to catch his breath.
===Victory===
*Pose: Chases a pig, but trips, falls, and lands on his ass, which he rubs after the "TOON LINK" text slams onto the screen.
*Theme: Team Zelda's victory theme.
*"No Contest"/Loss Theme: Team Zelda's loss theme.
==Costumes==
*Default
*Red
*Blue
*Purple
*Outset Link: Link in his original outfit at the start of Wind Waker.
*Engineer Link: Link in a train engineer's outfit, referencing Spirit Tracks.
*Dark Link
*Toon Linkle
