You’re an person unappreciated in this comments section, but thank you very much for making this easy for me. I’ve been trying to nitpick parts of my gameplay so this beats sliding through the video.
Jewlz Cartagena toon link is just one of many great characters in this game. I don’t blame people for ignoring him, this roster is just huge and almost everyone is viable.
@@megaKstudios the other links have all found their place within the meta, toon link just isn't too different from the other. People think:"why play toon link when I can play a 'better' character like link or Yung link?"
That’s so true. I personally liked Tink the best to play. ESAM claimed that Tink is the best link but #ESAMOpinions. The main things that Tink has over the other Links are his bombs, mobility, and aerials. Bomb fair kills at 70% lmfao. Bomb to retreating fair on shield to catch the bomb bouncing off is also good shield pressure. It’s p safe and you get the bomb back into your hand to punish their next option.
“Tink wasn’t chosen by the Gods. He earned their blessing and power through determination and confidence...” _hits like_ I think I’m gonna main Tink now.
Fresh pika Link players are learning how to use his bomb for more combos now, but I’d also like to see Tink go up the tier list to at least high B tier
This was the most pleasant surprise notification I have seen all day. Toon Link is my favorite of the three Links and see very little of him, thank you so much!

I’m pretty sure it was a lobster, but it would be amazing to see! And some of the other costumes, too. Like the spirit tracks one ( engineer outfit ) or other outfits like the cheerleader!
Why is this still the best toon link guide on TH-cam? Like not saying it’s a terrible guide but it’s been over 2 years and the toon link community can’t come up with one good one? The games been out for 5 years now.
The Links are soooo frustrating to play against as a Kirby, and everything you said about disliking rushdown, escaping, setting up projectiles to force jumps, the combo game, rings so true. Great to have this perspective on Tink as I always struggle knowing what can and can't be punished on my shield. Thanks for the vid!
Yes thank you. Your original art of toon link is what got me into smash. Great job and was not expecting this because. Toon link is barely noticed in smash ultimate
Shouldn't be that bad, just pressure him in close range should be the key. Most fighters can pressure him hard. He doesn't have great combos either, focusing on neutral movement around his projectiles, avoiding him only to get your opportunity to counter him during his active frames.
His throws are way better on stages with platforms, because at low %s, you can force a tech situation on platforms, letting you try and punish an option with any of your aerials, or try to punish with boomerang. You can also neutral airdodge and within about 2 frames of the airdodge animation buffer a z drop, giving you a pseudo counter. This helps alleviate the struggle that is landing with Toon Link, causing your opponent to hit the bomb instead of you while you get to drift away, giving damage to them, as well as putting them in a state of disadvantage. Zair is also a move that Toon Link should consider a lot between matchups, with characters that have a good out of shield, faster aerials, and are hard to challenge with your normal sword, you can space out and hit them with the safe long disjoint that is his your zair.
Tink has been my main for like 3 years now, but I'm still not good enough to do this stuff. This video taught me that I could use my grapple hook as a practical attack in the air.
These videos are legit amazing, this one takes the cake with depth and quality. Awesome art too! I have really wanted to learn Toon Link too and he's very underutilized so this episode is a godsend. Thank you!
Seeing as they heavily nerfed bomb fakes outs going into Ultimate, I kinda had a crisis trying to playing neutral from there since bomb fakes outs _was_ my neutral in Smash 4. So you can only imagine the surprise I had when you did one at 9:08 with legitimate affect. I can't tell you how priceless this video is considering I dont make enough use of Toon Link's close range game and when I do, it's often wrong. All I can say is thank you so much for reminding me and encouraging me to keep playing this character. (Almost switched to normal Link out of lust for tech skill, close one)
The feeling when you realise that one minute of the video has already passed and you haven't heard a word of what IzAw has been saying beacause you've been just concentrated on the edits.
Y'know the sound effect in cartoons of someone taking a bite of and eating a soft food, like a pie, a slice of cake, or cheese? That's what Toon Link's sword sounds like, especially Jab
Same, it’s hard for me to learn Toon Link, especially with the lack of guides or help regarding him. In the beginning, I pretty had to try and study him myself; even then it wasn’t enough
Izaw I swear to god you be releasing these guides right when I feel like picking up a character. They’re probably the most in-depth and focused guides out there and your art of Mario guide is the reason I main Mario now. Keep up the awesome work my dude!
This is so inspiring. I mained Tink in Sm4sh but when they got rid of glide tossing I felt like everything fun about the character was lost. But now you are giving me reason to pick him back up! I loved playing Tink because unlike my other main, Bowser, you always feel like an underdog trying to brave through an impossible challenge.
Thank you so much for making this video man! I’m a Toon Link player too and this video really helped me improve my Toon Link a lot and better my punish game :)
@@musique-ef3rz yeah a lot. It explains how to beat the character in a very clean way: first talking about the pros (making the character look broken) amd then he talks about counterplay, which is great writing as well, I REALLY wish I could support his patreon but I'm a student soooo.
Man, I check and see if you have a video whenever I consider playing a new character, but I've never seen anything like this one! Thanks a ton and I will definitely purchase the canvases if they're still available
Correction on the A+B smash trick for short hop arrows. If I press A+B together at the same time, I always get a neutral air. If I press and hold B first and then press A during jump squat, it works. Good tip though it seems a little hard to get the timing to work 100%.
Oh man, I thought no one would ever look at Toon Link again in Ultimate. He's not my main, but he was one of them in Brawl so I really appreciate this video covering him in Ultimate, I'll definitely put it to use, thanks
Izaw I want you to know about a hidden tech in the game that allows for very easy drifted aerials out of a buffer. Only if you set a shoulder button to jump (mine is R) and if you use the C-Stick for your aerials. Now if you already know about this it's okay, I hope those who don't will find value in it: There is a 3 frame window on any aerial (only with the c-stick) that allows you to completely negate the automatic forward drift that comes from a buffered aerial. What does that mean? Well it means that if you flick the C-Stick fast enough (with the jump input) your then able to completely control your aerial drift. I didn't find this but I've also forgotten where I found it.
@@Descro382 I forgot that I had even made this comment. Ahhh Good time. Anyway! It didn’t go too terribly. Did okay in Round One. I put up a decent fight but MVD was there and he WHOOPED me. Then I had a a match with newer local guy in the Losers bracket and that one was much closer. Came down to the wire, but he eventually pulled off a win and I was out. Still! I got some food and a fun day out of it! Might be something I look into doing again in the fully post-Covid times.
@@bankcolgate2155 I'm glad you had a great experience! That sounds like my one and only tournament I've ever been to, got whooped too 😂 but, here's to hope in the future, hopefully this pandemic goes away soon 🍻
Thanks for this. I’ve been looking for more characters that blur the lines between zoner and other types. Even if toon link is definitely more of a zoner.
He's really only as much of a zoner as you want him to be, you can focus more on his melee options to great effect. People often anticipate Toon Link to start throwing things the moment he appears on screen, then get caught off guard by how quickly he can approach and start racking up damage.
Not gonna lie, didn’t expect this, but I absolutely love it. I have loved Toon since I first started playing Smash Bros back in Brawl. I know he’s not as good as other characters (hell, even the other Links!), but I still love him. This has given me that spark to play him more often again (I’ve been messing around with other characters as of late like Lucario). Thank you for this!!!
Some things in my time playing toon link I do: I love his bombs. I spam them to an extent and use them in combos. I turned off up on the left stick to jump so I can use his Up B spin attack more reliably without accidently jumping. Sometimes I throw bombs at people, sometimes I throw it up or drop it to deny area.
AWESOME VID! I used to main TL in brawl and kinda played off of fundamentals only and just went with the flow which carried me, but this guide I did learn alot! I definitely gotta keep in mind all the combos and damage I can do up close, Thx Izaw! Also, you bet your bottom I got myself a Toon Link vs Sonic poster, those things look sick!!!
My old Smash 4 main, and the most consistent one at that. Recently I got into using Daisy/Peach and really love their playstyle, but now I want to get back with Toon Link and make him my secondary. Thanks for the video. 👍
Thanks. Now it’s time to practice. This is an amazing tutorial I found super useful. Botw Link is an amazing upgrade to the smash series but I could never walk away from Toon Link.
As a tink main, I’m surprised as to how accurate this video is, people usually don’t understand how to play tink but this video covered pretty much everything
bro your video and photography editing is out of this world, if you ever are looking for somewhere to place your talents, I'm sure youll find it. Thank you for creating probably some of the best guides.
toon link will always be my favorite link in ult hes fun; has my favorite link design and they didnt have to but nintendo went out of the way to make new sound effects for all of his sword slashes to atleast differentiate him farther from the other links
I gave up my boy when Banjo and Kazooie came out since they play surprisingly similar (at least how I play them), but this really makes me want to play him again.
The sad part about toon link is that his royal engineer outfit is literally IN THE GAME but you can’t use it or wear it as an alt skin.
Cvo777 I loved spirit tracks. It's also ashamed that the pajamas from wind waker are not a costume either.
Be thankful y’all ignorance fucks
No it's toon link. i expect perfection
@@jaykrit2322 N o . If Mario gets a fancy white suit then Toon Link should have the Royal Engineer & Pajama variants as alts...

@@Descro382 I forgot that I had even made this comment. Ahhh Good time. Anyway! It didn’t go too terribly. Did okay in Round One. I put up a decent fight but MVD was there and he WHOOPED me. Then I had a a match with newer local guy in the Losers bracket and that one was much closer. Came down to the wire, but he eventually pulled off a win and I was out. Still! I got some food and a fun day out of it! Might be something I look into doing again in the fully post-Covid times.
@@bankcolgate2155 I'm glad you had a great experience! That sounds like my one and only tournament I've ever been to, got whooped too 😂 but, here's to hope in the future, hopefully this pandemic goes away soon 🍻
I love toon link's sword sounds
That intro was legendary.
Thanks for this. I’ve been looking for more characters that blur the lines between zoner and other types. Even if toon link is definitely more of a zoner.
He's really only as much of a zoner as you want him to be, you can focus more on his melee options to great effect. People often anticipate Toon Link to start throwing things the moment he appears on screen, then get caught off guard by how quickly he can approach and start racking up damage.
Not gonna lie, didn’t expect this, but I absolutely love it. I have loved Toon since I first started playing Smash Bros back in Brawl. I know he’s not as good as other characters (hell, even the other Links!), but I still love him. This has given me that spark to play him more often again (I’ve been messing around with other characters as of late like Lucario). Thank you for this!!!
When you say of “Art of Toon Link” you really mean Art of Toon Link.
Some things in my time playing toon link I do:
I love his bombs. I spam them to an extent and use them in combos.
I turned off up on the left stick to jump so I can use his Up B spin attack more reliably without accidently jumping.
Sometimes I throw bombs at people, sometimes I throw it up or drop it to deny area.
Yes! Toon link was my main in sm4sh and in ultimate I just couldn't get him. But now I can. Thanks Izaw.
AWESOME VID! I used to main TL in brawl and kinda played off of fundamentals only and just went with the flow which carried me, but this guide I did learn alot! I definitely gotta keep in mind all the combos and damage I can do up close, Thx Izaw! Also, you bet your bottom I got myself a Toon Link vs Sonic poster, those things look sick!!!
1:38 and “tri-forcing” as many jumps as possible, I see what you did there
My old Smash 4 main, and the most consistent one at that. Recently I got into using Daisy/Peach and really love their playstyle, but now I want to get back with Toon Link and make him my secondary. Thanks for the video. 👍
11:51 that was sick
Thanks. Now it’s time to practice. This is an amazing tutorial I found super useful. Botw Link is an amazing upgrade to the smash series but I could never walk away from Toon Link.
I lack any sort of understanding regardinging how this man works, so let's learn something from one of the coolest tutorials in Art of Smash history
Toon Link is fucking adorable and I wish Nintendo would port it to the Switch
I don’t think I’ve felt excitement for a video about toon link in my life before
Tink mains have been waiting for so long for a good video on toon link
Thank you for crediting me IzAw. Great and inspiring guide as always
4:39
I’m pretty sure bomb and boomerang both combo pretty well in to most Ariel’s once reaching at least 70 you just got to get the right angle.
I miss smash 4 slide bomb toss cancel techs, but now I play link for cool bomb plays.
As a tink main, I’m surprised as to how accurate this video is, people usually don’t understand how to play tink but this video covered pretty much everything
bro your video and photography editing is out of this world, if you ever are looking for somewhere to place your talents, I'm sure youll find it. Thank you for creating probably some of the best guides.
YES!! ART OF TOON LINK! Been waiting for this forever!
Izaw great job, these videos help out a lot
I played him since Brawl but I never really learnt how to play him properly since im a casual player, thanks for the video!!
finally my main getting some much needed attention
also 8:48 might be the sickest thing I've seen in this game so far
Also, this is a BEAUTIFUL and excellent in-depth guide on how to properly use tink. Thank you for this video
Thank you so much, I use Toon Link a lot but I wasn’t really aware of a few of these tricks.
Gotta say, even as a Tink main I learned a few new things (or at the very least remembered a few).
Love these Art of ... videos. Watching the training gets you to train and watching the characters makes you want to play the characters 👍
Toon Link is hype because nobody plays him yet he's high tier
I just finished watching your Wolf and Marth/Lucina videos too! Thanks it making my day!
Great Video. I watched this a few weeks back, and now have decided to pick up Toon Link as my secondary. This is a great place to start! :D
toon link will always be my favorite link in ult
hes fun; has my favorite link design
and they didnt have to but
nintendo went out of the way to make new sound effects for all of his sword
slashes to atleast differentiate him farther from the other links
Damn, you got the touch with your intro. Awesome work!
After viewing the video: holy shit the little bastard seems so fast!
I gave up my boy when Banjo and Kazooie came out since they play surprisingly similar (at least how I play them), but this really makes me want to play him again.
Started out as toon link but gave up because I didn't see all that much potential, thanks to this vid I think I'm gonna try again
I play Toon link aggressive, I run in there and attack. I also use bombs the most(bomb f-air), but I struggle playing on stages with platforms.
LET’S GOOO TOON LINK GANG THANK YOU IZAW
