Link returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', alongside Young Link and Toon Link. This time, the Hero of Twilight has been succeeded by the "Hero of the Wild", the protagonist of ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]]''. For the first time in the series, Link joins [[Mario]] himself as one of the co-mascots of ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', as the two are frequently marketed and paired together to advertise and showcase the game. | Link returns as a playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Compared to his predecessors, Link takes on many different stances during battle. While this is purely aesthetic in some instances, he also leans further when performing attacks, giving them greater range, yet making his hurtbox more vulnerable to attacks. On a related note, the blade of his [[Master Sword]] is longer, increasing the range in his attacks, and his forward smash's first hit is capable of firing a [[zeldawiki:Sword Beam|Sword Beam]] while his damage is at 0%. Like his fellow ''The Legend of Zelda'' fighters, Link's victory theme has been changed to a new arrangement of their home series' main theme. | Compared to his predecessors, Link takes on many different stances during battle.

The [[zeldawiki:Hero of the Wild Set|Hero of the Wild]] set of clothes from ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'', which resembles Link's classic design, also appears an alternate costume. Although Link uses a regular Boomerang like he does in ''Super Smash Bros.'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Melee'', his other special moves noticeably deviate from his predecessors': his bow is capable of firing two arrows at once, he uses the [[zeldawiki:Remote Bomb|Remote Bomb]] [[zeldawiki:Rune|Rune]] instead of his Bombs as his down special, and his Final Smash uses an [[zeldawiki:Ancient Bow|Ancient Bow]] to fire an [[zeldawiki:Ancient Arrow|Ancient Arrow]]. | The [[zeldawiki:Hero of the Wild Set|Hero of the Wild]] set of clothes from ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'', which resembles Link's classic design, also appears an alternate costume.
