is anybody on this video still? ....no? okay. LINK IS 2000X BETTER THAN YOUNG LINK BECAUSE HE CAN PERFORM MORE DEVASTATING COMBOS AND DOESN'T HAVE TO WORK AS HARD FOR KILLS
Very nice! Honestly this is exactly what I was looking for after studying some frame data, so I needed some confirmation on what my best oos options were along with other options in certain scenarios, this is great.
+DowhopZigZagJelloPopRudyZiggetyZaggity Puddin Oversaturated market and boring. We've all seen them 1 million times and we all know they are the best characters. Time to see ass kicking with others.
There was a trick axe does with bombs and up b's against m2k's roy where he grapples then jumpsareally high somehow and is above the stage literally flying and when he comes down like 7 bombs drop with him. do you know how to execute this. edit: nvm its called yl super jump and you boomerang away from stage turn around grapple edge and if you do it at the right spot faat enoigh you go flying lol edit edit : axe does it some crazy way though lol and stays up there forever
4:48 How are you hanging from the ledge and then "jumping" to throw the bomb without double jumping??? Is anyone else having this issue trying to accomplish this?
tap right or down on the analog stick or c stick to let go of the ledge, then immediately press y and you can do a double jump from the ledge without doing the forward somersault you get if you press jump while holding the ledge
whenever I try to bomb throw from ledge or nair or even neutral b, I can't get him to regrap the ledge, not even by holding the stick towards the stage.
try doing it sooner. it's likely you're inputing too late. try to jump as soon as you let go of the ledge and try to pull the bomb or shoot the arrow etc., as soon as you jump. actions have to be very fast
Mirco Gruppi Mine too right behind Sonic mostly because I grew up with sonic for longer then I did with LOZ. I want him back in the next smash or Smash 4 I would want him in the most, people say we don't need 3 links but we got 3 Marths so why not 3 links.
I want him to come back so much it hurts xD I would be fine if he was the only new DLC character tbh, I think we need more of the Melee chcracters back! But everyone thinks I'm stupid for wanting him back lol
1:14 can someone help me out I dont see how he do double jump before touching the ground , mine wont jump twice it will hit the ground each time I perform one of those
Having trouble figuring out the tech for bow/bomb off ledge. I'll hop off ledge, shoot an arrow, but I'm not able to regrab ledge. Feels like I'm not getting enough height on my jump and my bow animation is still going while I'm trying to grab ledge? If that makes sense?
What are the inputs for the "Bomb pull to re-grap" (4:50) ? Stick on the right + jump ? When I do this I dont go straight up like you do. I guess these are the wrong inputs. (same question for the arrow, and the n-air to re-grap) I'm considering about maining YL and these are the only things I can't perform :( (except the boomerang cancel which doesn't work on Pal version from what you said below)
ADAM4NTE I actually hold down + jump. The important thing to do is to press B (for the bomb) RIGHT after you jump. Because of this, it's easier to use Y than it is X. You just have to be fast, that's all I can say. Hope this helped!
Yo I'm doing the bair as soon as I jump for the triple aerial, but still can't seem to jump after it to get the second bair in, is there a timing to it
It took me a while to get it. I think my problem was trying to jump too early after the first bair. Try jumping right as link seems to hit the ground. Try working on just getting the double jump after the first bair, and once you have that down, incorporate the second bair.
I HAD GIVEN UP ON YL But this gave me a lot of tools! Thank you! If I can add. I enjoy throwing the bomb in the air above young link, throw boomerang or arrow and regrab the bomb.
shouldn't have young link invoke helplessness after use his airdodge and hookshot? using a tether recovery and a air dodge makes you invoke helplessness in melee
Great video :). But I have one question. Is the boomerang cancel not possible in NTSC? Cause when I try it, everything works but I can't up-b after the grapple.
+BandDGames I totally forgot that there are different versions lol. Yeah, I have 1.2. But thanks again for the video! Pretty sure Young Link will be a strong secondary of mine from now on :).
+riteshlogin It's all timing based. After you short hop, back air immediately. After the back air finishes, you should have like 2 or 3 frames to double jump (that's only 1/20th of a second; it's very strict timing). I use Y to jump, but X is fine too. Try it in training mode on 1/4th speed.
+BandDGames Do you use the c stick to input the aerial? I've been trying Y- cstick, but I get it rarely vs using tap jump - cstick gets me it about 50% of the time. However, I don't normally use tap jump and I really don't want to make the switch.
+BandDGames Are tournaments played on 1.0? It seems like they'd be on the most modern version. But if there are specific things that you need to be on the original with, I guess it makes sense.
+nana jaja You have to first practice up-B-ing on the ground, and then you have to slide off the ledge while doing a grounded up-B. Then, when you're off the ledge, you have to tilt back toward the stage. Otherwise, you'll keep going forward and won't grab ledge. Hope this helped :)
the double bair that you do i cant do and it doesn't make any sense why because i bair and then i spam y so i am not jumping too late but my character hits the ground instead of jumping again
Eagle Eye584 Then the only other thing I can think of is you aren't doing your first B-air quick enough. You need to B-air almost immediately after your short hop. It's pretty difficult to do, but you'll get it.
+Shaunburrs Make sure you are NOT pressing forward when grabbing the ledge on BF. You will look like you just "slide" past the ledge and die. Not sure why it happens, but it does.
+FuzzyKat'z cubby At the highest level of competitive play, Young Link is better. But at lower level of play (my level lol) the matchup is probably even. Link is stronger but Young Link has way better approach options to get the hits.
I lose alot to people that don’t approach me. Like when the person should be trying to win neutral they just run away. 😂. Im bad. But also worse now cause ive played too many other iterations of smash melee feels foreign af. But imma keep working on it. Lol
Me too! I wanna be his biggest fan! :D Also it's a pretty safe game and it's being updated to kill bugs. It includes characters like Lucina, Geno, Ridley, Waluigi, Doc, The mentioned Young Link with a new design, Ocerina, a roll and ice arrows and also Pichu is here
"pick up your token put it on fox final destantion no items now your ready too play compatatively" IVE LEARNED SO MUCH THANK YOU!
The moment where you're a link main and all you could find are young link guides.
:P
Young Link is more viable for competitive play than Link but not by a whole lot!
is anybody on this video still?
....no?
okay.
LINK IS 2000X BETTER THAN YOUNG LINK BECAUSE HE CAN PERFORM MORE DEVASTATING COMBOS AND DOESN'T HAVE TO WORK AS HARD FOR KILLS
bel gay
@@beltube is this true?
Nice tutorial! Young Link is my favorite character to play in the whole game and i may now be looking to secondary him
Very nice! Honestly this is exactly what I was looking for after studying some frame data, so I needed some confirmation on what my best oos options were along with other options in certain scenarios, this is great.
lemur918 Glad this helped! I accidentally left out some other small things (like B-Air to re-grab), but nothing major. Do you main YL?
Not yet, but I want to switch from Ice Climbers to YL, because he is more fun. Getting discouraged by YL match ups, though.
lemur918 Yea, true...The best thing would probably be to use him as a secondary for floaties; that's what I do.
i refuse to main a space animal
+Alec why?
i typed that before i learned how to fox kappa but no i don't take the game that serious
***** i was just gonna say that hes incredibly technically which makes him super fun
fuck space animals

Nice guide. I also see you put in that Brawl music warms my heart
If you still read the comments after seven years, (already, whoa), you must know than this is a very intresting video who help me a lots ! Thanks
i love YOUNG LINK he may be small but he's still one tough dude
Master Sword Fail come on he's The Hero of Time for Pete's sake
Helmasaur King. 1994 wow you responded to such a l8 comment..
I honestly like Young link more then Link just because of ocarina if time
nice
+MagicScrumpy Don't try and fool us Scrump we know this is just one of your hundreds of alt channels
+MagicScrumpy Thanks, Scrumpers
There was a trick axe does with bombs and up b's against m2k's roy where he grapples then jumpsareally high somehow and is above the stage literally flying and when he comes down like 7 bombs drop with him. do you know how to execute this.
edit: nvm its called yl super jump and you boomerang away from stage turn around grapple edge and if you do it at the right spot faat enoigh you go flying lol
edit edit : axe does it some crazy way though lol and stays up there forever
yl super jump only possible in 1.00 melee not 1.02 everyone typically plays
*mouth click*
4:48 How are you hanging from the ledge and then "jumping" to throw the bomb without double jumping??? Is anyone else having this issue trying to accomplish this?
tap right or down on the analog stick or c stick to let go of the ledge, then immediately press y and you can do a double jump from the ledge without doing the forward somersault you get if you press jump while holding the ledge
This has been really helpful to me(An aspiring young link player) thanks so much for doing this
I tried to to the battlefield stalling for a good 8 hours, didnt even get close.
whenever I try to bomb throw from ledge or nair or even neutral b, I can't get him to regrap the ledge, not even by holding the stick towards the stage.
Jackson Kelley having same problem bro, can anybody intervene?
same, cant get the triple aerial double jump thing either to work. its like he has a higher jump in the vid
try doing it sooner. it's likely you're inputing too late. try to jump as soon as you let go of the ledge and try to pull the bomb or shoot the arrow etc., as soon as you jump. actions have to be very fast
0:51 me: what!! *checks how long video is*, me:oh
I hope he comes back.
+Nintendo Nation mee too...Young Link is my second favourite game character
Mirco Gruppi Mine too right behind Sonic mostly because I grew up with sonic for longer then I did with LOZ. I want him back in the next smash or Smash 4 I would want him in the most, people say we don't need 3 links but we got 3 Marths so why not 3 links.
Nintendo Nation yeah! -btw my favourite character is Waluigi-
I want him to come back so much it hurts xD
I would be fine if he was the only new DLC character tbh, I think we need more of the Melee chcracters back! But everyone thinks I'm stupid for wanting him back lol
Davarman Agree 100%
Who's here after the smash ultimate announcement:)
1:14 can someone help me out I dont see how he do double jump before touching the ground , mine wont jump twice it will hit the ground each time I perform one of those
finally! I couldn’t find any info on his bomb mines anywhere, now I got it
Having trouble figuring out the tech for bow/bomb off ledge. I'll hop off ledge, shoot an arrow, but I'm not able to regrab ledge. Feels like I'm not getting enough height on my jump and my bow animation is still going while I'm trying to grab ledge? If that makes sense?

Got it ! Thanks for helping
Yo I'm doing the bair as soon as I jump for the triple aerial, but still can't seem to jump after it to get the second bair in, is there a timing to it
It's called L Canceling lol
Press L or R right before you land and it'll reduce lag
+Manuel Martinez the whole point is that you don't land. Why else would it be called a triple aerial? Lol
It took me a while to get it. I think my problem was trying to jump too early after the first bair. Try jumping right as link seems to hit the ground. Try working on just getting the double jump after the first bair, and once you have that down, incorporate the second bair.
I HAD GIVEN UP ON YL But this gave me a lot of tools! Thank you! If I can add. I enjoy throwing the bomb in the air above young link, throw boomerang or arrow and regrab the bomb.
1:13 I dedicate about 2 hours to just do this thing... and still cant get it , and Dont see how he do it like is nothing
The font you use is beautiful.
will that ledge counter work against like marth and roy? their swords go through the ground
shouldn't have young link invoke helplessness after use his airdodge and hookshot? using a tether recovery and a air dodge makes you invoke helplessness in melee
he is back baby!!
watching all the YL videos I can after the project slippi release :)
Great video :). But I have one question. Is the boomerang cancel not possible in NTSC? Cause when I try it, everything works but I can't up-b after the grapple.
+Resolutist For NTSC, it only works for version 1.0 of Melee. You might have version 1.2 :/
+BandDGames I totally forgot that there are different versions lol. Yeah, I have 1.2. But thanks again for the video! Pretty sure Young Link will be a strong secondary of mine from now on :).
Resolutist Awesome ;D
just getting into Competitive Play, whats the advantage of Young Link compared to grown up Link? What are main differences?
Stronger and slow VS. weaker and fast
What inputs do you use for the triple aerial? I can only get it if I use tap jump, but I'm used to using x to jump.
+riteshlogin It's all timing based. After you short hop, back air immediately. After the back air finishes, you should have like 2 or 3 frames to double jump (that's only 1/20th of a second; it's very strict timing). I use Y to jump, but X is fine too. Try it in training mode on 1/4th speed.

Where's the texture for the multi colored Final Destination?
lChannighanl I believe that just comes with the normal 20XX pack.
BandDGames it does lmfao I've just gotta update my 20xx because im bad
Amazing! I take y. Link in lowtier battles, I love the Bombs
+MrGreenhorn1000 Link vs boring people who main spacies
When I try the air dodge + grapple boomerang cancel the animation for him catching it doesn't play, so I fall to my death, any idea why?
+Jacob That's because you're playing on version 1.2
It has to be version 1.0 (I think it can be 1.1 as well).
BandDGames I see, thanks!
+BandDGames
Are tournaments played on 1.0?
It seems like they'd be on the most modern version. But if there are specific things that you need to be on the original with, I guess it makes sense.
Very very informative. How do you catch bombs in the air?
+Harry Holt Thanks! Just press Z (I think A works too) when you're near them.
Cheers
How do you up-B into an edge hog?
+nana jaja You have to first practice up-B-ing on the ground, and then you have to slide off the ledge while doing a grounded up-B. Then, when you're off the ledge, you have to tilt back toward the stage. Otherwise, you'll keep going forward and won't grab ledge. Hope this helped :)
Thank you!!
Hey for the bomb shield pressure are you using z to re grab the bombs?
+phxbrd123 Yup!
Does boomerang jumping reset your jump or does it just give you a small boost?
It only gives you a small boost. It's better to use once you've used your double jump, otherwise you might accidentally double jump while air dodging.
Alright, thanks for that! I've been trying to work on my Yink tech anyways.
thanks for the tips! this really helps
No problem! :)
the double bair that you do i cant do and it doesn't make any sense why because i bair and then i spam y so i am not jumping too late but my character hits the ground instead of jumping again
Eagle Eye584 Then the only other thing I can think of is you aren't doing your first B-air quick enough. You need to B-air almost immediately after your short hop. It's pretty difficult to do, but you'll get it.
ok thank you i will try
it worked thank you, but MAN you have to do it fast
BandDGames hey i did it using two hands. but is it possible to use c stick and one hand?
Eagle Eye584 If I B-air to the left, I use the c-stick. If I B-air to the right, I use the A button. I don't know why, but that works best for me.
The the nair regrab not work on battlefield? Or am I just awful at this game lol?
+Shaunburrs It works on all ledges. You're just bad ;)
BandDGames FK lol, back to lab until I'm good.
+Shaunburrs Make sure you are NOT pressing forward when grabbing the ledge on BF. You will look like you just "slide" past the ledge and die. Not sure why it happens, but it does.
Francesco Salvia I did it lol :)))
im having trouble with the boomarang recovery cant seem to nail it down
Make sure your melee is version 1.0.1. The boomerang cancel only works on that version, not v1.0.2 or 20XX
How you drop the bombs without throwing?
Press Z in the air (with no direction on the control stick).
Who's better? Young or regular link?
+FuzzyKat'z cubby At the highest level of competitive play, Young Link is better. But at lower level of play (my level lol) the matchup is probably even. Link is stronger but Young Link has way better approach options to get the hits.
+iKrager While Link has better combos in neutral than YL versus most of the top tiers.
I lose alot to people that don’t approach me. Like when the person should be trying to win neutral they just run away. 😂. Im bad. But also worse now cause ive played too many other iterations of smash melee feels foreign af. But imma keep working on it. Lol
I will main you.
I'm maining him in Legacy now
I've seen that game! Is it good? Is it safe? I always loved YL
Me too! I wanna be his biggest fan! :D
Also it's a pretty safe game and it's being updated to kill bugs. It includes characters like Lucina, Geno, Ridley, Waluigi, Doc, The mentioned Young Link with a new design, Ocerina, a roll and ice arrows and also Pichu is here
Cool!
Link is my homeboy plus my main
good skills
This was made in 2015, I wouldn't be surprised if This was made in 2007
I followed the first step I'm now play competitively
He was my main in melee
BandDGames = MagicScrumpy confirmed
+OfDaSouth Shhhhhhhhh
cool
*How to suffer
oh
Rip melee clones
+Luke Marble Oh hey Doc n Roy!
+Luke Marble they were the best
Oh wait, we have Toon Link, who plays exactly the same as Young Link!
Sonic the Cutehog Nah man... no Fire Arrows... and no Special Moves don't count.
Plus he is a fucking chump...
link is better
+Soapitonnic
Not according to the tier list anymore.
+nahor88 link is better
shavingrabbid
Not according to the tier list anymore.
+nahor88 link is better
+nahor88 link is better?
Oh please... So many tr4sh things. I cant stand this battlefield music
