Now THIS is a version of link who's unique enough to warrant his own slot in ultimate. Great work!

[@TheQuilavaQueen]

@@RushWheeler Stares a missed potential

[@Agueybana1978]

​@@RushWheelerall I see is wasted potential

[@RushWheeler]

@@meee_5155 I'd say Toon Link actually deserves a spot in the game because of the variance of gameplay and items in WindWaker and the other Toon Link Zelda games, but they just decided to make him a Link clone.

[@earleybyrd9236]

My jaw actually dropped when he rewinded the bomb that’s fucking INSANE.

[@Vawte]

Time to mega outplay people with 200 IQ recall strats 💀💀💀

[@markywilliams209]

Ridiculously impressive moveset. Fantastic work on this, I've never seen a character so stacked with options.

[@TheCayDawg]

I fully expect TotK Ganondorf now so he can get revenge

[@bugingyhasawoken]

Pay someone to do it cuz nobodies working on it right now

[@kevsperanza]

My jaw dropped at 1:44, crazy

[@re-box1182]

I was worried there was gonna be nothing involving recall

[@phantomneko9274]

Same

[@Jindo420]

crazy? i was crazy once. they locked me in a room. a rubber room. a rubber room with rats. and rats make me crazy

[@stupakoopa_3987]

HOW DID YOU MANAGE TO GET SO MANY DIFFERENT DEVICES CRAMMED IN HIS MOVESET GOOD GRAVY

[@RushWheeler]

They just crammed everything into down B

[@jayymorris5285]

​@RushWheeler Like, does it cycle through five types of gear and 5 abilities? cause he was using time manipulation too 😂

[@RushWheeler]

@@jayymorris5285 so basically, down special works like this:
Using it randomly selects one out of 4 zonai devices (bomb, rocket, platform and zonai roomba). You can then use down special again to place the item using ultrahand or you can fuse it to either your arrows with neutral special or your shield with side special. Using down special a third time once the zonai device has been placed will allow it to be recalled to a certain position that it has already been to before.
Hope that clears it up!

[@jayymorris5285]

@RushWheeler Thank yoy so much!!

[@inkdragoon4547]

So... if the bow is Neutral B, shield surf is Side B, Ascend is Up B, and the Zonai Devices/Ultrahand is Down B, then what is Recall?

[@perriwinkleiii5361]

I had to pause the video when I saw him do a bomb shield jump and continue to combo the opponent on the platform. This is such a creative build! Also, him throwing out a platform and ascending through it is such a neat idea

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

Holy shit, this looks absolutely SPECTACULAR!!! I am not exaggerating when I say that this is one of the best movesets in any fighting game I've ever seen, absolutely *incredible* job on this!!!

[@RushWheeler]

WHY ARE YOU HERE TOO NOOOOOO

[@SuspiciousTemmie]

@@RushWheeler BECAUSE WHY NOT >:)

[@cj3537]

YOU'RE EVERYWHERE

[@pedroterukiparussolo8890]

YOOOOOOOO IT LOOKS FANTASTIC, THIS IS AMAZING

[@victor2time]

This is by far the best character I've seen that's come out of the workshop. Watching this makes you want to play both Zelda TotK and Rivals. Damn

[@Wapako]

The moveset looks crazy ! OMG !

[@daniellelondon439]

So cool! I’m amazed at how you came up with using the various zonai items and abilities as part of his moveset. Very creative and clever!

[@Fresh_Knight]

I was like "aw man no rewind, I get it that would be hard to implement" than the last clip hit me

[@eggploont277]

VERY Hyped for this character! TOTK is my first proper Zelda game and I opted to get it over BOTW for its creativity aspects, and I've been following this character's development from the first teaser. Can't wait!

[@Tazerboy_10]

Ah; I'd hope at some point that you could go back and experience the previous Zelda games in the series!

[@inker_monkey]

bro, you should rlly check out the older ones-- oh god at least play SS..

[@katzelol]

honestly you dont have to get botw, it would be nice but totk is so similar to it just with better abilities lol

[@jazzratoon]

​@inker_monkey or Twilight Princess, Wind Waker or even the N64 games.

[@inker_monkey]

@@jazzratoon yess!!! someone teach this man TP

[@imos_theos]

that time bomb rewind looked sick

[@mattwo7]

1:45 Rewind?! Okay this Link is officially broken.

[@NinF37]

holy moly. you just don’t miss when it comes to amazing mods for this game. from the core moveset concept to the sprites to the stage, it’s all phenomenal!!

[@treyoneil-callahan9612]

This has got to be the most unique move set ever

[@brandon1469]

I absolutely lost it when it showcased you could rewind the zonai devices. A lot of love and considerations was built into this character. Congratulations!

[@katsukthis9417]

How did you managed to pack so much into this character!!! This looks amazing! So many set-ups to discover!!

[@thatoneguy1821]

As an animation reel, this would be impressive. But as actual gameplay (moves etc), this is insane! Hope you don’t get sued

[@4Kslimy]

He wont

[@ViorbyX]

We can make an insane combos with your Link, but yet I'm glad he's balanced. Also huge thanks for making Pit and Greninja!

[@namelessiam7792]

Cramming recall into his moveset is crazy, absolute unit of a character well done!

[@readyplayerthree3]

There are gonna be some massive brain plays with Link, huh....

[@KovanNova]

Bruh that reverse bomb kill at the end! These combos gotta be cracked by now.

[@Evanz111]

Looks absolutely dope, amazing work on the detail and polish

[@OishikSarkarApocalypso]

Watching this in the morning is SO therapeutic, honestly

[@Navycrewposter]

Dang! This is so good! Ascend! Zonai devices! Ultrahand! Fuse! You even got earthwake in there! This is amazing work here!

[@spurkofficial]

I loved your botw link on the workshop and this single character may be the reason i pick up this game again. tysm for your hard work!!

[@Charely1925]

And this is how you update Link. Dang that moveset is fresh!

[@skapaloka222]

holy shit that recalled bomb was NASTY

[@PowderedSand6443]

This is lore accurate Link

[@Helmotz.]

This is insanely well made, nice work

[@Jaykh2o]

1:40 Lore accurate Link

[@Dairunt1]

If the next Smash is a reboot, I really would love to see movesets as revamped as this one. Make them so unique and different that it's irrelevant if they are veterans or newcomers.

[@Gooey27]

I have never seen this game before, but I did not expect TerminalMontage Link to also be here.

[@GerminGerminGerminGerminGermin]

The moveset of Speedrunner link is also insane, you should check it out

[@Theslient1]

What a great work!!! Wish can see more of your content my man 🎉

[@gogokowai]

This is perfect... except the Rauru paunch at 0:18. I've never seen Link punch anything other than when he hurts himself punching a treasure chest.

[@rubellite4480]

It's a reference to one of the story cutscenes, which is a spoiler
After getting one of the sages, they'll give you a memory/dragon tear, that has a punch similar to this

[@Archetype_Angel]

​​@@rubellite4480can you direct me / spoil me to which memory you refer to? I only remember 2 fists in the whole game. One being the yiga blademaster ground fist and the other one being Yunobo's brofist after defeating the boss /getting the sacred gummy stone.

[@rubellite4480]

@@Archetype_Angel alright
If you complete the fifth sage, mineru's quest, she'll tell you about the imprisoning war
The imprisoning war cutscene itself starts with murals and contains scenes of ganon fighting rauru and the sages, and is considered a memory by the game (memory #10)
When rauru seals ganon, he punches him in the chest, so I believed the punch was a reference to that scene

[@jorgefelixcarrascal8649]

INCREDIBLEEE

[@McP1xel]

That combo at the end tho

[@NlSETSUMURI]

oh, to see my beloved little speedrunner link have a cameo...

[@Much_Ado]

i cannot believe that rocket shield jumping is in this moveset, this is so goddamn fuckin cool

[@jesterchester8428]

This is insanely well done

[@otakuchan3699]

This showcase feels so professional

[@BraxonGG]

YOOOOOO
AMAZING JOB AS ALWAYS DUDE

[@Zach-490]

Hot dang that is super clean and impressive work on the moveset and gameplay.

[@HarryBook]

Coolest concept I’ve seen for link combos gonna be so cool

[@EtheRenard]

I don't know how you import characters, but this is insane!
The art, the moveset, everything!

[@Joseant_7781]

This is awesome bro, keep doing this great work 😲

[@abauchu]

A... ma...zing Work 👏👏👏
That pixel art, those moves. I love it 😗🤌

[@baumi_06]

Never went to steam so quickly
Good job man

[@mrcwillis6970]

Imagine getting a new link that could do stuff like this, this is super cool 💚

[@edilenemoitinho2304]

Doing this for engagement in the algorithm because you deserve it

[@ddnava96]

I saw a Smash Ultimate mod that gives link Ascend as his Up-B, but it makes his recovery worse. Being able to pull an anti-gravity stone and then use Ascend fixed it imho, but I think it also makes his recovery infinite. I hope they put some limitation like only being able to use one anti-gravity stone until you touch stage collision again

[@RushWheeler]

The antigravity stone is only available randomly, and stays in one area for about 10 seconds. Using down special again would instead summon a rocket, bomb or moving zonai device.

[@FikosoEva-lz2kq]

The rewind looks crazy

[@anthoxfroste7681]

Bro has literally the best moveset in Rivals of Aether Workshop

[@CJusticeHappen21]

*Lizalfos:* "My Lord Ganondorf! Link approaches!"
*Ganondorf, chuckling:* "Whatever. I'll be taking more than his arm this time."
*Lynel, comes running from the direction of the entryway, in a blind panic:* "Green! He's wearing Green!"
*Ganondorf to Lizalfos:* "I have great news for you: you are the new Demon King. Congratulations. I'll be leaving out the back door."

[@boots8619]

And thus the most technical charecter I've seen dang

[@boots8619]

Is beautiful

[@phillipbyrd6923]

sick, as always! i dont even play rivals but i like seein your stuff!

[@werdna1969]

Yeah, Link! Tear him apart until kingdom come!

[@user-hr6so9bu3j]

This is an example of why Nintendo needs to work with more indie Devs like they did on cadence of hyrule

[@gonzales991999]

that's so cool! :00 excellent work!

[@paprika2759]

I've never played Rivals of Aether, but I enjoyed the video so much that when I tried to like it, it showed that I had already liked it before.

[@dankl3ss194]

Thank you so much. Got my new main

[@screeching_goat1995]

Wait thats actualy so cool, well done

[@der.VogelA]

Really great work i love this character

[@TheonlyCamera-Man]

The combo potential is insane

[@ChilledFriend.]

didn’t expect link and a goose to be fighting in Icebox 😂

[@beanboimiggi4945]

This mod alone made me buy the game, holy moly

magnifique, superbe, sssssssplendide !!! le sprite sont parfait et le designe est top merci pour cette pépite.

i pogged irl when he used recall

Might have to cop the game now these mods are insane

Now I just need a FD Link to be happy

to think if i never found this video i wouldnt have known abt this game

Dude this is insane

Dang, this is really cool!

[@GraphicOG]

So awesome!

[@darkami8835]

So clean😊

[@idk_what_im_doing04]

holy shit. This is insane!

[@cliziamichielan1704]

I'm in awe

[@todd3143]

wow platform fusing. that’s a rare move

[@CashFlowz16]

I think that if link parries a projectile, then it could have recall done on it which could be cancelled so link could use the projectile in another way rather than reflecting it. Otherwise this is an incredible moveset and is the link we all deserve for next smash

[@AlphaJPM]

Bro 1:20 I do not see enough prise for this shot this is criminal

[@thegarydosesales5043]

that rewind final combo was freaking sick as hell if i got hit by somethign that complex and timed i ngame id quit

Still don’t own this game but this is one of the coolest mods for it I’ve ever seen
