Overview/Strategies
The hero of the Legend of Zelda games, Link has a few quirks that might irritate those who haven't fully adapted to them. For instance, his Up + B recovery move doesn't offer any vertical boost when he's standing on solid ground, unlike most of the other characters, so get used to jumping first if you plan on using that as your primary aerial attack. Link's sword offers good reach, and his arrow is a nice projectile attack that you can even charge up before firing. One more nice thing about using Link is his shield; if positioned just right, it will reflect projectiles!
