## Character Description

Being the Hero of Hyrule, he is a kind man and very humble. He's a very skillful swordsman and a master of various weaponry.

## Attributes

Link is a character who has changed a lot from the previous game. His design is now based on his design from Breath of the Wild and has several different moves. He has average speed and is a medium weight character. His tilts and smash attacks are fast and powerful and can deal a bunch of damage. His special moves have changed except for his standard special. His bow can be very fast but doesn't do much damage or knockback. His side special, Throw/Magnesis has him throw his sword which deals little damage and little knockback, if he doesn't grab it, he'll use Magnesis to get his sword back. His up special, the Hero's Spin has good recovery and can deal a bunch of damage to an opponent. His down special, has him use a remote bomb that the player can set off if they press the same button again. It can deal some damage and some knockback. Link can easily be KO'd when using his recovery, he has short jumping, and has stamina unlike the previous installments. The stamina bar takes a few seconds to fill up if all of it is used and makes him weaker. He can still us his shield to block projectiles. Overall, Link has many advantages as well as many disadvantages.
