Super Smash Bros. Brawl: Difference between revisions

'''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''' is a fighting game for the [[Nintendo Wii]], in which various [[Nintendo]] (and non-Nintendo) characters fight on a 2-D plane. It is the third game in the Smash Bros. series and it has 35 characters to play as. This game features multiple characters and stages from the ''[[The Legend of Zelda (Series)|Zelda]]'' series, along with many trophies and a few items. Most of the characters and items take their appearances from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''.

[[Link]]'s design in the game is taken from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]''. He is a returning character from the very start of the Smash Bros. series. He is usable from the very start of the game. His moves are based on items he gained in the game: [[Bow]], [[Bomb]]s, [[Clawshot]] and [[Gale Boomerang]]. He uses the [[Master Sword]] and [[Hylian Shield]], which has become a staple of the Links that appear in the Smash Bros. series. Link and Toon Link share a similar moveset. The main differences between them is in their abilities. Link is heavier and slower than Toon Link, but he isn't as floaty and is more powerful than his toon counterpart. His Final Smash is shared once again. It is called Triforce Slash and it traps a character in a Triforce as Link slashes repeatedly. If another character touches the Triforce shape or Link during the attack, they could get trapped too, but they will definitely get damaged and knocked back significantly. Once the onslaught is done, Link will slash once more and send the other character flying, usually to their KO.

The [[Zelda|Princess Zelda]] that appears in the game takes the appearance of Zelda from Twilight Princess. She is also a returning character from the previous game of the Smash Brothers series, [[Super Smash Bros. Melee]], from which she has been buffed out slightly. She - along with Sheik - is playable from the very start of the game. In the game, her attacks are magic based and she uses the spells from ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' (Namely [[Din's Fire]] for offense, [[Nayru's Love]] for defense and [[Farore's Wind]] for recovery). Zelda can use Transform to change into [[Sheik]]. Her attacks are fairly powerful and most have a good knockback, but Zelda is a lightweight and so is easily knocked back herself. Zelda shares her Final Smash with Sheik, which is her using a Light Arrow to inflict high amounts of damage and (usually) One-Hit KO opponents.

Zelda has 6 costumes; normal design, Red version, Blue version, Green version, Dark version and one that has a similar colour scheme to her Ocarina of Time and Melee counterpart.

Sheik's design is taken from Twilight Princess concept art , where she was supposedly going to appear. She returns, along with Zelda, from Smash Bros. Melee. Sheik and Zelda work together like two halves; Zelda's flaws are more or less covered by Sheik while Zelda returns the favour by covering Sheik's weaknesses. Sheik is a fast character and not very light, but her attacks generally aren't powerful and don't have strong knockback. She uses frequent martial arts, along with a chain and needles which can be charged up to throw them further. She can use Transform to change into Zelda at any point during a match, which also gives her invicibility for a short time. She shares her Final Smash - Light Arrow - with Zelda.

Ganondorf's design is taken from Twilight Princess like the three characters before. He also returns from Smash Bros. Melee, but has been significantly changed. Ganondorf was considered a clone of Captain Falcon in Melee, while in Brawl he is now given different animations when compared to Captain Falcon (even though they do share similar moves). He is a powerhouse character, making him very heavy, slow and all moves give very high amounts of knockback. Ganondorf in an unlockable character in the game. Three ways to unlock him are; play 200 brawls, complete Classic Mode with Link/Zelda on Hard or get Ganondorf to join the party in the Subspace Emmisary. With the exception of the latter option, Ganondorf must be beaten in a 1v1 match on Final Destination before unlocking completely. Ganondorf's moveset is very similar to Captain Falcon's. The Warlock Punch is extremely similar to the famous Falcon Punch, but it is more powerful, but slower. The main differences Ganondorf has to Captain Falcon is that his moves are more powerful and cause more knockback on characters. Beast [[Ganon]] is his Final Smash. Ganondorf changes into his Beast form and roars/stomps on the ground with front legs - which causes all the characters touching the stage to be paralysed. Ganon then dashes off to the side of the stage, dragging along any characters he touches along to their KO. Ganondorf then returns to the point where he activated the Final Smash to continue as usual.

[[Toon Link]] is a character based on the Link seen in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Wind Waker]]'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks|Spirit Tracks]]'', and ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|Phantom Hourglass]]''. He acts as a replacement for Young Link, who was the second version of Link in Super Smash Bros. Melee. In game, he uses the shield from Wind Waker, as well as the [[Master Sword]], the [[Boomerang]], the Hero's Bow, the Bombs, and the [[Hookshot]]. Statistically, he is faster than Link, but also weaker and lighter.  His Final Smash - Triforce Slash - is shared with Link.

As the name implies, it is a stage based of the [[Bridge of Eldin]] from Twilight Princess. It is a flat stage where the dangers really come from what happens to the stage rather than what's on the stage the whole time.<br/>

In the background of the stage, [[Hyrule Castle]] is present in its Twilight Princess incarnation.

The stage is based off of [[Pirate Ship|Tetra's Ship]] and the Great Sea from The Wind Waker. The stage is surrounded by water which can cause characters to drown if they stay in it too long. It has a couple of platforms on the sail that players can jump to and there is a catapult like contraption at the left side of the stage that comes out every now and again which - if a character is standing on it and it pops up - can throw a character instantly past the left blast line. If no character is on it when it pops up, nothing else happens and it retreats back down into the stage.

The Temple stage makes a return from Smash Bros. Melee. It is a multi-level stage which is based off of Zelda II's Temples. It's not a stage full of traps, it is a very large stage that has no dangers other than the usual blastlines. In the background of the stage, there are several buildings - one of which is thought to be the [[Temple of Time]] from Ocarina of Time but that is a debated matter.  

Temple is actually one of the most hated stages in Melee and Brawl because of the fact that it is so large, players can run all over the stage to dodge any combat and that taunt parties (matches where players continuously taunt and don't fight each other) take place there so often.

The main plot is that an evil entity called Tabuu is going to take over the Smash Brothers World. Several characters are on Tabuu's side (because of the fact that Master Hand has been taken captive) including a mysterious character called the Ancient Minister who has control over ROBs and knows where to get special bomsb called Subspace Bombs - they suck up certain parts of the world and leave a dome of Subspace stuff behind. The characters all form four or five groups that have different tasks to complete and bosses to face before they all meet up and go to get Tabuu. They entire a mysterious place called Subspace where they find Tabuu, who fires his Off Waves to turn them all into trophies. By a very convieniant plot device, all the heroes are revived. They join forces with the characters who were on Tabuu's side originally and they all make their way through the very lengthy and annoying, Great Maze. Once that horror is over and done with, they all face off with Tabuu and destroy him, returning their worlds to normal.

Link is first seen taking the Master Sword out of it's pedestal. He then continues walking through some Woods with what is presumed to be [[Navi]] and he meets up with a sleeping Yoshi. Some Shadow Bugs fall from the Halberd and Link and Yoshi team up to beat all of the enemies. Link and Yoshi then decide to team up and follow the Halberd.

'''[[Heart Container]]''': This item has been in all three games in the series. Like it was in Melee, it's a recovery item that heals a character 100% damage.

'''[[Bunny Hood]]''': This item returns from Melee. It makes the character who picked it up move quicker and jump higher, but only lasts for about 12 seconds - unless it is knocked off by a hard hit.

[[Barkle]] ([[Freshly Picked Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland]]): Ups Tail Attacks by 32. Can be used by Yoshi, Pikachu, Diddy Kong and Pokemon Trainer.
