    Hey everyone, thanks for watching! Just wanted to say real quick that with this video coming out not too long after The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom's release, and this video not talking about that game, I'd really appreciate it if you could refrain from discussing ToTK spoilers in the comments. Thanks! If you do want to comment something that involves ToTK spoilers, please also include a little spoiler warning before-hand. People are still playing through the game, so please be respectful to those people as to not ruin their enjoyment!

    Honestly if Young Link's Final smash was functionally the same as it is now except instead of dashing forward he shoots beams from the Fierce Deity Sword after trapping the opponent he'd fly so high up on my list of coolest characters.
  • Toon Link's Final Smash could be a reference to the Four Swords games. He could split into four, launch forward and whoever gets hit gets pulled in and receives a barrage of swords swings from the four Links.
  • @stardust7780
    I’ve always thought Toon Link should have a special parry mechanic, because of how big a deal it is in WW (especially with the final boss).
  • @mercury8349
    Omg the wolf link and midna was a missed opportunity, I can just imagine what their move set is, they’re a double fighter similar to ice climbers, I’d also like to see the up special be midna just yeeting link in the air and floating after him
  • @kyusimp6171
    Imagine if they took the Hyrule Warriors approach with Toon Link and made him summon trains
  • @doggo4078
    For such a unique series with so many years to draw from Zelda got done dirty. Hopefully in the next game they all get an overhaul. Love the videos.
  • @cacokid1489
    Personally, I think it would be awesome if the main Link was set up like a composite of multiple incarnations rather than being based on one specific Link. He could have unique animations for his moves showing him using items from across the series, and his alternate costumes could be each based off different incarnations like The Hero of Time, Twilight, Sky, etc, so people can play as their favorite Link.
  • I think the idea of young link not really transforming, but just wearing the mask is badass. Honestly think it would be cooler than actually transforming. Also, link pulling out a powder keg out of his pocket would be really goofy looking, it would be much better than normal ass bombs
  • @kid14346
    Ganondorf could always borrow from the Hyrule Warriors one. Big trident, magical energy, summoning shadow versions of his beast mode, etc. Seems like a great fit to me.
  • @rakhoon8596
    I actually think making Young Link like his Hyrule Warriors counterpart would serve him really well. Not being able to use the shield and wield his sword like a two handed sword, with your final smash turning you into Fierce Deity like how Sonic could transform into supersonic would be really cool.
  • @RNS_Aurelius
    Given the effort they went to implament Kazuya in such a faithful way, with his unique inputs and having by far the longest move list in Smash, it's even more disappointing the same effort wasn't given to these characters especially Ganondorf.
  • @pallukun
    its important to note that flame choke is distinctly a ganondorf move, he used it in twilight princess to kill one of the sages, i wouldnt mind if he got a new moveset but he should keep flame choke
  • @LogicDuel
    Something else that could make toon link more unique is giving him the grappling hook as a tether instead of the hookshot.
  • I'd also love to see more taken from Hyrule Warriors. It did so much for so many characters like giving Ganondorf his trident from A Link to the Past and Sheik's harp turning into elemental attacks and it's amazing
  • @Piiiiiiiiit
    For Toon’s final smash I always thought it would be funny as hell if he had a cutscene where he hopped on the spirit train with ghost Zelda and ran over the opponent. Maybe have his head out the window makin a goofy face while he honks the horn. Idk man, just feels right.
  • @aquila1154
    I remember playing Super Smash Flash back in the day, and what they did to Link was very neat! 1. When holding a bomb, you could charge your arrow and your bomb would attach to it! 2. His grab was his signature Hookshot. It could grab onto ledges as a horizontal recovery option. 3. His boomerang notably hit a bit harder but was less dexterous, and was the Twilight Princess Gale Boomerang 4. His back air was a kick!
  • Not only has the 3 Link Problem bothered me for years, but as a Ganondorf main I love the idea of reworking his moves into Black Shadow and giving Ganon moves that better reflect his origins.
  • @ShwaneJohnson
    To set Link apart from his smaller brothers, they could also have him alternate between round and cube bombs, and also have a Monado-style menu for him to switch between fire, ice, shock and bomb arrows, while only having a limited number of those ones
  • @AlX-zi6ux
    I think for Toon Link's final smash it could involve flooding the stage and running the opponent over with the king of red lions but the finisher from the end of the game would fit so well too.
