Audible Link

**Audible Link**, also known as **ADBL | Link** or just **Link** is a fighter in the CPUCS. Link is a Light Realm champion, consistently performing well, winning tournaments, and pulling off impressive plays with his bombs and Ancient Arrows throughout the Vincent Saga. Link was once the top fighter in rankings, and is considered by many to be the best CPUCS fighter.

Link first debuted in the Season 1 episode VINCENT'S REVENGE where he took the tournament by storm, handily defeating rising star Kirby in finals and Vincent in Thug Finals. Link first won a sponsorship from Audible.com after winning the Season 2 finale, the SUBSCRIBE GRAND PRIX 2.

When the Light Realm was first attacked by Dark Vince in the Season 3 episode NO FUN ALLOWED, Link defeated his minion Dark Ken and won the tournament. However, in Thug Finals he was attacked by Dark Vincent, who, having seen his power, corrupted him into **Dark Audible Dark Link**. He was freed from Dark Vince's control by Blue Incineroar and helped lead the raid on the Dark Timeline in ENDGAME.

Link made numerous appearances throughout Season 4, where he initially put out poor results, leading many to consider him washed out. However, his results steadily improved throughout the season, culminating in him making it all the way to finals in THE TOSTINO'S INVITATIONAL before being defeated by rising star Naomi Winters.

## Personality

Audible Link is a frequent contender, appearing in numerous tournaments throughout the Vincent Saga and beyond. Link is known as an intelligent and skilled veteran, using a variety of projectiles to catch his opponents off guard and punishing with well-placed strikes from his sword. Link is known for remarkable plays with his remote bombs and his powerful long-ranged Final Smash, the Ancient Arrow. Though the Ancient Arrow is already a strong asset on its own, Link has a tendency to go out of his way to connect the Final Smash, often jumping offstage or even all the way to the blast zone in order to punish his opponents. Link's willingness to go out of his way for a KO has won him numerous matches, a sponsorship from Audible.com, and the respect of the competitors and commentators of the CPUCS.

## Trivia

* Audible Link, like Ridley, is one of the few CPUCS fighters to use multiple alternate costumes, rather than certain alt costumes being different fighters (PG Incineroar/Blue Incineroar, Zelda/Hilda, etc.) - in MAJOR IS HERE, Link used a white tunic and shield rather than his usual blue.
* Link could be considered the tritagonist of the Vincent Saga alongside Vincent and Kirby for his consistent appearances and role in Season 3; the video "THE VINCENT SAGA: Level 9 CPU Highlights" reflects this dynamic in the thumbnail.
* Audible Link is the first CPUCS fighter to engage Greninja in any capacity, fighting him in an ad spot for Audible.com in Season 3.
	+ It should be noted that this could have been a different Greninja, as the one that Link fought uses the normal color scheme as opposed to the black alternate that The Commissioner uses.
* Link has never dropped below Top 5 in rankings since his debut in Season 1.
