Link reappears in the [[Nintendo Switch]] game ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', available as part of the base game. He is available from the start, and is still among the lightest heavyweight characters, sharing his statistics with Rosalina, [[King Boo]], and [[Pauline]]. The game's July 2018 update also added the Hero of the Wild from ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'', alongside the [[Master Cycle Zero]], [[Ancient Tires]], and [[Paraglider (The Legend of Zelda)|Paraglider]] parts. Upon being added, the Hero of the Wild became the default Link, while the Hero of the Skies was relegated to being an alternate character. Like the Hero of the Skies, the Hero of the Wild is left-handed despite being right-handed in his respective game; however, they also share the same voice actor. | Link reappears in the [[Nintendo Switch]] game ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', available as part of the base game.

Despite sharing some of the same part colors for items that change, the two Links have some noticeable differences. In regard to the Hero of the Wild, his kart symbol is the [[zeldawiki:Crest of the Sheikah|Crest of the Sheikah]] as it appears on the [[zeldawiki:Sheikah Slate|Sheikah Slate]] instead of the [[zeldawiki:Royal Crest|Royal Crest]], and he uses a [[zeldawiki:Guardian Sword++|Guardian Sword++]] instead of the Master Sword when performing tricks. | Despite sharing some of the same part colors for items that change, the two Links have some noticeable differences.

The two variants have different horn sounds, which plays when pressing {{button|switch|l}} without any items; Link's horn is based on a sound from [[zeldawiki:Hyrule Warriors|Hyrule Warriors]] and Champion's Tunic Link's horn is based on the [[zeldawiki:Sheikah Slate|Sheikah Slate]].

[https://www.reddit.com/r/mariokart/comments/14hdedg/comment/jpcn05t The experiment was just to pick BotW Link and see if CPU tunic Link was ever picked as a CPU in vs mode]. ''Reddit''. Retrieved July 13, 2023. ([http://archive.today/k4S6G Archived] July 13, 2023, 18:44:57 UTC via archive.today.)</ref> due to being two distinct incarnations of Link, the Hero of the Skies could also appear in a race if Hero of the Wild had already been selected and vice versa, while both could appear in a race if neither had been selected as well. Additionally, as CPUs, the vehicle combinations they use are almost completely different, with the only exception being the [[Standard Kart]], [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires, and [[Super Glider]] combination that is shared with most CPUs. | ||
