Master0fHyrule its ok 👍 mistakes happen sometimes.
Master0fHyrule ah well. We all make mistakes.
Superb kirb
I voted kirby
You should add parry animations.
It took 5 games to make Link’s sword longer.

@@dr.mohameda.abdelaleem7894 You just edited it, also, 3DS was released before Wii U.
@@AGamingArtist According to an interview with Sakurai, 3DS and Wii U are separate installments... GET YOUR FACTS RIGHT!!!
Twilight princess link is still my favorite, but breath of wild link has his charm.
Doomy_Doomy ultimate Link is god awful
@@sparshkapar5254 Agreed. I too use the internet and can't respect an opinion, I mean it's the law.
Sparsh Kapar blue suits him better imo
Imo the downside of BOTW Link is his FS, it got a HUGE downgrade from 60 or so, to 30.
What's wrong with botw link
Link is easily one of my favorite Nintendo protagonists. His Twilight incarnation is the best!
Most definitely
I like the brawl desing best
I know right his twilight incarnation is so cool
I like the Ocarina of Time one, or BotW Link.
His Twilight Princess Incarnation is only the best in Brawl. In Smash 4 he looks wrong. The other Twilight Princess characters looked wrong as well in Smash 4.
I love botw but Link’s Brawl design from Twilight Princess is hands down the best
Brawl twilight princess link is the best!
@@andressennn7893 Yeah ! But seems like Smash 4 Link is from Zelda Twilight Princess too
@@LeRafale but the looks
@@andressennn7893 Yeah Brawl Link look like Tp Link but Smash 4 Link have the same animations as Brawl
This is how I feel about Ganondorf’s Brawl design despite him being really bad in that game, though they really butchered his design in Smash 4 to the point where he looks more like a caricature of himself. He’s like a meme-ified version himself in that game.
I know the reuse of certain animations is probably just to make things easier but the fact that Time and Twi fight almost exactly the same way is super cool since one is descended from the other and one taught the other
I never realized how aggressive his grab attack was 😂
He’s like: that’s for eating my cookies ᕦ(ò_óˇ)ᕤ
He slammed the hilt of his sword so hard against the other Link's head. Brutal
Bro legit said, "get over here!".
@@tylercruise7334 He doesn't even use the blade itself just the hilt, gotta be painful af
So:
Ocarina of time&Young link
Twilight Princess
Breath of the Wild
Windwaker
That's 4 different link designs in smash, 5 including Young.
and The Legend Of Zelda, the first game (a link skin in ultimate)
Rexona no that’s an outfit in breath of the wild I’m not gonna spoil how to get it tho
@@joshie3 it's not even a spoiler. You get it through an Amibo and YL Is from MM
Jiashen Chen soon there will be toy link I hope
@@tetratd5568 well obviously you haven't legitimately earned the classic Link outfit in BOTW.
They had to re-invent a lot of Link's animations to make him right-handed in SSBU, but I appreciate that attention to detail
Yeah.. I noticed he was the first right handed link in the smash iterations
Or just flipped the animations
@@someguy9496 It's Nintendo of course they flipped the animation. At least this time they didn't flip the whole world
Taunt 1:
64: Does Cool Pose
Melee: *eH*
*flips hair weirdly* eHhE
2:27 Melee Link's air Up Special will always be the most satisfying sound in all his incarnations to me.
Link: the hero of EVERYTHING
Pretty much.
H ero
O f
E verything
hero of not knowing what batteries are
5:39 ah yes, the for glory special
6:34 I love his face
Link: O.o
Nice
and before that it shows link with a red tunic
Twilight Princess Link is far expressive than Breath of the Wild Link.
@@Lone_Wolf_Hero I mean TP Link didn't had to suffer everything than Wild did.
Gotta love that Link is left handed in the first four then in ultimate he’s right handed
Guess the memory loss really did change him
Each Link is a different incarnation of the character either through spirit or directly linked to the bloodline of the Hero (no pun intended). Links like the one in BOTW have always been right handed, so memory loss wouldn’t have mattered in that sense. I shall bother you no longer.
smh
Well the very first Hero (Skyward Sword) was right handed.
To me it doesn't matter.
It's nice to have a Hero that is left handed because I think they are only a few
Anyone else notice BotW link is the only one that snores?
Death's Homie I guess.
Man I still love brawl's massive sound effects
Ikr? I still replicate the sword slashing sound effect in brawl.
Brawl had more tougher sound effects.
Like Halo 4 did. Felt heavy and like you're doing damage.
Whoa, I forgot how satisfying the sword-swinging sounds were in Smash 64.
OoT Link is still my favorite, and also has the most energetic voice
Agreed. 😁👍
Well he is a child with the body of a young adult
Everyone else: Just sounds like some dude
OOT Link: FKING SUPER SAIYAN
I love the taunt where he brushes his hair out of his face. He’s hot and he knows it lmao
When I first played Melee, I remember being super happy to see Link’s Up special recovery get improved. It was the coolest thing to me.
Nobody:
Brawl Link:
AAAAAAARGH
ok
Every Link Up B: AAAAAAAAAAAGRHT
8:28:The only link in smash that actually snores when he sleeps😂
You could say he’s the sleepier one (badum tss)
2:26 My favorite Link voice..
mine too
@@christophersuddeath7081 mee to
Same, in Brawl and Wii U, he was voiced by Akira Sasanuma. He did a good job voicing Link and fits him really well too 🙂
Another great video! Keep up the awesome work. I almost ALWAYS play as Link.
Me too and I love his sound
HEEEYYYYAAAAA
Same
"Almost"
The only problem is that every time I use Link's remote bombs to attack I feel like I'm using them wrong.
I like how botw link is right handed just gotta appreciate the small details
No, do not cause Link is left handed WTF!
@@jules9064 in botw he is right handed
Kara AX400 Hes right handed in Botw lol.
@@jules9064 Bruh~ in BotW he is right handed
And in skyward sowrd he is to becase of motion controls and wii twilight princes
It’s amazing what detail is put in! I already knew from messing around that the shields deflect projectiles, but didn’t know that the shield’s hitbox moved with the idle animation!
This looks adorably much like OOT Link teaching his descendants (?) how to fight and I can safely say I totally live for it XD
2:34 TOILET
Lol xD
xD
Lucren Crum I know it’s very wierd
If he was in a game where he could use the bathroom him saying that could get anyone out of the bathroom just for him to go
Tolerate
He has aged phenominally ;)
I main Link in every smash! He’s so different in every one, I love it!
Same
Twilight Princess Link is the best. He’s the most badass.
but he looks ugly in tr4sh with those bright colors
@@hernandeznestor7685 Agreed. I like his more realistic design in Brawl
For me its Breath of the wild
Glad to see someone else thinks so
Wild: allow me to introduce myself
I love the fact that both versions of link from twilight princess have the exact same voice , while breath of the wild link is completely different sounding , also its the same for both versions of ocarina link
They pretty much reused the respective voice samples to save time and money.
8:45 I love this sound😍
4:20 this shows the bottom of a sword can be used like a club
Melee Link: _Flips hair_ *EEeegh~*
Every other Link: Bruh tf
Sush theyre just jelaous
0:42 The stabbing attack also exists in "Smash Bros. Melee".
Technically, everyone isn't here since Adult Link from Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess Link aren't in Ultimate.
Atleast links reskins are fierce diety and tp link. Even ss. Still think ss should have been in sm4sh
@@eyeris4050 same
ss link should been in instead of tp onee
EXACTLY
TheBoogeyMan There’s an entire comment thread on this very video explaining why he wasn’t.
I never noticed that BOTW Link's grounded Spin Attack actually has the 3 charge thing, that's pretty cool
7:11 Dizzy? More like agitated geez the panting tho
7:20 Y'all know where those moans came from
7:30-7:47 Actually dizzy.
7:48 Facial expressions make it even more sexual.
Uwu
Ima test that out-
I knew someone was gonna point that out even with the S.M.B Melee Link Dizzy part sounds like moans. owo
Y'all are so dirty minded lol
I love he is now right handed like me.
Ew
@@zaberfangx11 :/
@mrboby2 :/
I'm right handed too.
@@lovedittheskinyourin3574 There's nothing special about being right handed, 90% of the world's population is right handed. Link is usually left handed and it's silly they'd change one of his quirks like that.
It doesn't matter how good he looks graphically in modern games, nothing beats his voice from S64 and SSBM
Brawl takes it for me
Everyone: SS Link should've been in Sm4sh!
Me: Rip my boi TP Link in SSBU.
If SS Link was in Sm4sh, he would’ve been right-handed like BOTW Link in Ultimate.
2:23 best link ever
No
Hero of time is the best one for me
No lol TP and OOT link are the best
@@xbilavet1474 yes
That’s subjective. I personally thought Nintendo could have done a little more with Link in BOTW. He’s much more a blank slate in that game than he is in any other Zelda, to the point where we don’t actually understand what or how he’s feeling in certain moments in the actual story. I understand that there is a lore given explanation for this behavior, but that only ever worked in some memory cutscenes within the story. Otherwise, his constant blank stare and reserved body language, more often than not, kills the moods of a lot of cutscenes within the game. An example would be his reunion with Spirit Mipha. While she goes on about how she awaited for his return, he stands there as if he has nothing better to do than stare blankly. It’s moments like that really stand out and kill the mood of an otherwise emotional scene. A scene in which Link’s emotions are on full display and it doesn’t feel off in the moment is in Skyward Sword, where he attempts to stop Zelda from sealing herself in the past. While yes, the moment before the direct action was a bit silly with the poor execution of his face before the sealing, it doesn’t change the fact that his reaction to situation at hand was *PERFECT* in my own personal opinion. If you’re the kind of person that gets attached to the Zelda of that game, you may be one of the few people that would react in the way Link did in that scene. I especially have to applaud the amount of sorrow you can visibly see on his face at the moment Zelda finishes sealing herself. It doesn’t feel out of place or kills the mood, as the emotional pain he feels is consistent with the scene at hand. I know there are a lot of people who couldn’t give two shits about Skyward Sword, but that doesn’t change the fact that they at least tried to make their Link engaging. That’s it for my rant.
You do such a great job with these moveset evolution videos.
Amazing video! I've been looking for something like this for a while, especially since Link's big changes in Ultimate. It would have been nice if you had faced Link to the left and flipped the video to keep consistent (as BotW link is right handed) but even as it is, this is insane.
My favorite Link will always be Ocarina of Time. Smash 4 Link looks like a version of TP for children.
Also, I wish they kept the camera angle for Link's victory screen#2 from 64. The behind the back shot is so much more badass than the generic frontal shot.
My first thought was voting for Ness, but I kinda wanna see Captain falcon too. After looking at the list, I kinda wanna see Fox. Ultimately I voted for pikachu because i can't not vote for my mans and because Detective Pikachu is around the corner.
The Link in smash4 is skyward sword
@@Someone-pw8dp Smash 4 Link is literally TP Link but much more colorful. SS Link doesn't have those arm and leg guards. Furthermore, Smash 4 Link is literally Brawl Link reused and redefined. Brawl Link is TP Link. And SS Link is right handed. Smash 4 Link is left.
Sheryl Rodriguez thats twillight princess link
I like how the "logic" here is "more color and definition = for children"
@@Someone-pw8dp No he’s definitely not
8:14 close your eyes...
Your profile pic xDDDD
You pfp made it even better
Sonic: ‘,)
We are over the times of “just screaming every single time” link in the Brawl and Wii U/3ds days...
WeirdKid ahh the memories
I'll always miss 64 and melee's "SHAAAAAK" up special
I always found his voice so funny when he did the spin attack, it puts a smile on my face every time I use it, although it doesn't really even sound like a human voice to me, it's just such a weird sound lol
Link sword jab is in melee it's not just in smash 64
isaiah Thomas Did you not read the comment he made
NintendoTaco it wasn’t there when he commented it
underrated opinion: TP is the better "classic design" but BotW is better in terms of how the series has come far. (Honestly some complain about his new look and quirks which is kinda valid but you cant make the same kind of person and let the dev team constrain their creativity. Thats why Nintendo also let some of their younger employees to pitch an idea to change the zelda formula, but still feel like a Zelda game)
Boi oot is better
I just hate that they scrapped the realism that TP Link had
Seems like they downgraded graphics ever since Brawl for cartoony style stuff
@@Alief.Prophet Nothing wrong with that. I feel that both Botw Link and
Ocarina Link best capture the fantasy feel of the Zelda series better.
It doesn't feel like a Zelda game anymore. Open World doesn't fit Zelda because Zelda is a story based game. It just feels like any other mainstream game we have today.
Zelda used to be great, now it's crap. :(
Here's my ranked from his incarnation:
5 & 4 SSB64 SSBM
3 SSBU
2 & 1 SSBB SSB4
I found out that Link can charge because Toon/Young Link say they can. When you think about it, they’re all echo fighters of each other if Toon/Young had less range, toon has single smash instead of double/triple, and Link is ancient arrow.
2:15 this is all i came to see
Lol
Twilight Princess Link is the best in my opinion! Also keep up with the good work!
Man this really shows how ultimate, even though it didn't give a completely different moveset, still showed a ton of thought from sakurai and crew
His cap was the most floppy in Melee, in Ultimate he has no cap.
He does have a cap in ultimate and botw
It’s just not his default alt
@@hylianro Yeah, I know, I just mean the defaults...
Twilight Princess Link has the best apparence and voice.
I think smash 4 Link is like techinically a Twilight Princess incarnation but the extra saturation and changes makes me think it's like a mix of the Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess versions
I think it’s supposed to be a mix even though it’s still the Twilight Princess incarnation.
Link is MY character in Super Smash Series.
Me too.
Same
It took five games for link to be truly good in a smash bros game.
5 GAMES.
A video of my main...beautiful. my favorite like link in smash is brawl
Link has changed dramatically.
i love link's ultimate voice
Can we talk about how amazing Link’s hair was in smash bro’s for Wii U lol
1:28 I like this sound in brawl for some reason
GO LINK!✊🎮
Over all this time, Link actually got a recovery that can move him up vertically.
One most my favorite nintendo characters
Great video
2:18
EAAA!!!!
I kind of miss TP voice actor. His new voice doesn't sound as intimidating and charismatic.
the voice actor is named akira
I think it’s for the best though because the new actor is the same actor in botw
I do like the new voice 🥴
@@kevs534 who asked you
@@orlandogarcia7084 nobody
Wow wild link is so much different that the others
Surely the MASTER OF HYRULE has something special for this video
Hey MoH, when Joker drops, could you make a video showcasing all possible lines in his Final Smash along with literally everything else you would be doing normally? Thanks!
They should bring back old designs of link
They did for link,s costumes.
@@lorigayeallen522they were really half assed costumes though
Nice job!
The ledge animations are different on 64, Melee and Brawl when you are at over 100% Would be great if you included them in your future videos.
0:01 EHHhhh
2:54 I thought you would put text in the vid like “ The double arrow shot only exists in Ultimate”
I like how melee link is just like
*eh*
That tether was such an integral part of his kit for me. That’s why he’s my secondary in ultimate now when he was main for 64-brawl
No links were hurt in the making of this video
Smash Bros for Wii and 3ds Link: *actual slashing sounds*
Smash ultimate Link: *Light arrow*
Brawl link: *Keys Jingling*
0:41 I think link can do that attack in Melee
Link can do the sword jab in melee to
Yes
He said that already
I didn't know I just typed the comment
It’s the mandela affect lol jk
That made me laugh. Lol 1:12
This was awesome
I love how Link's Navi taunt was replaced, like Link was like "F*** you, Navi!"
1:05 Just look at this frame data!
負けた時のリンク達が真顔で拍手してるのシュールすぎてめっちゃ笑った笑
特に引き分けの時の4人揃ってるやつ笑笑
I wish the link in smash ultimate would do the longshot grab
I honestly just realized BOTW Link is now right handed
YES FINALLY HE DID IT!!! I VOTED BT THE WAY!!! :D
Ok but gave your middle name link link
@@Sonicfan-yt9qh ?
Omg links old smash 4 voice clips are super nostalgic for me
I flippin love Link’s voice tbh
And also THANK GOODNESS ITS THE BOTW LINK!
0:41 you can do it with toon link, but i never learned how to do that
The attack at 0:41 is also in Melee
ElectrikStatik 900 Now Master of Hyrule say that
Honestly, hes beautiful in BotW
Carli Dratel Ikr
He's hot in all games
Except in the Phillips CDi
ASexySmashTuber i can't fight against that logic
I mean CDI Link is just Alttp Link so he’s hot too.
He was better in brawl
One thing I do wish what you went ahead and did is to show us all of links color swaps and with the Kirby hats but I hope you do that to the next character
Link is my favorite swordfighter.
