| Strategies |
|
Link boasts a combination of strength and defense, so remember that when fighting.
When fighting head on, use his Triple Stab to keep your enemy at bay.
If your opponent is going to hit you with a strong attack, block it, then immediately perform Link's Whirlwind attack (if the enemy hit with an attack that lagged enough, then your attack will hit its mark).
The main strategy to use with Link is to play it easy until your opponent makes a mistake or until you find an openning to hit your opponent hard.
|
| VS Link |
|
Link is by far the toughest opponent to play against in VS Mode (he's very easy in 1P Mode).
During battles, Link utilizes his Boomerang many times; so try more hand-to-hand combat.
While he may have strength and endurance, he is a little bit on the slow side.
Thus, try picking an agile character to keep him off balance.
In addition, Link suffers greatly at ledge fighting.
That means if you can get him off the ledge, it will be hard for him to get back on (Meteor Smashes are effective against him).

| Bonus Stage 1 |

- Hit the target.
- Jump on the left platform; then, perform the Pull Out Bomb, and do a Light Throw toward the target.
- Then, jump on the above platform, and then jump again on the platform above that one; hit the next target.
- Now this is a little tricky; facing left, light throw a Boomerang; then, as it is coming back, jump up and let it pass you so it can hit the target.
- Move right to the vertical wall, and jump down the tunnel, hitting your first target with a Kick...
- ...and while you're falling, doing another Kick to hit the other target.
- Move all the way to the right and hit the target with a Super Chop.
- Jump up to the second platform and hit that target.
- Again, jump up to the last upmost target and hit it.
- And to hit the final target, tilt your control stick to an Up/Forward angle and throw the Boomerang.

| Bonus Stage 2 |
Click on the picture to enlarge.
- Jump on the platform above you.
- Next jump on the platform to your right.
- Then jump on the platform to your left.
- To make life even easier, jump on the platform slightly to your right now.
- Now, jump up on the surface left of the fire blocks. Triple jump up to the platform on the right.
- From there, jump down to the surface below. Then from there, jump down to the right to a small platform. Fall down yet again to the left, then jump up twice to reach your next platform.
- Work your way back up to platform #5. Then jump directly to your left and land on platform #7.
- Jump further to your left and land on the next platform.
- Fall down from the platform and land on the surface. Time yourself with the moving platform, then jump on it. From there, drop down and jump twice to the right to land on the platform.
- Drop from the platform to the surface below and slide down. Then, jump up twice to land on the final platform.
