Young Link is the younger version of Link from Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask and often appears as a playable character in non-canon games.

Appearances

Super Smash Bros. Melee

In Super Smash Bros. Melee, Young Link appears as a playable fighter. He can be unlocked by completing Classic or Adventure Mode with ten characters, or by taking part in 500 VS matches. His moveset is almost identical to Link, although he is smaller, faster, and more agile. He also uses Fire Arrows instead of the normal arrows.

There are also three trophies based on Young Link:

He's a smaller target, and while his Hookshot has less reach than older Link's, you can still use it in midair as a last ditch attempt to grab a ledge.	Complete Adventure Mode as Young Link
Young Link [Smash]	With a youthful spring in his step, Young Link can perform amazing wall-jumps. Once he hits a wall, tap the Control stick in the opposite direction to send him leaping upward; you can practice to your heart's content in Target Test. His Spin Attack can strike multiple times even on the ground, and although it's hard to discern, so do his Bombs.	Complete All-Star Mode as Young Link

Hyrule Warriors

Young Link is a playable warrior in Hyrule Warriors. His abilities and appearance are based on Majora's Mask, and he has both the Keaton Mask and the Fierce Deity's Mask with him. Like Link, Proxi speaks in his stead. In the Wii U game, he is unlocked as part of the Majora's Mask Pack DLC. In Hyrule Warriors Legends and the Definitive Edition, he is unlocked on Adventure Map G-9.

In Hyrule Warriors on the Wii U, Young Link drops the same materials as Link, which are Link's Boots as a silver material and Link's Scarf as a gold. In Legends and the Definitive Edition, he drops Young Link's Belt as a silver material and the Keaton Mask as a gold. Young Link is weak to darkness-element damage.

Weapon

Main article: Mask (Hyrule Warriors)

Young Link uses the darkness-element Fierce Deity's Mask as a weapon. As a child, he uses the Kokiri Sword to attack his foes. However, he can also put on his mask and turn into Fierce Deity Link. By using Focus Spirit, Young Link can stay as Fierce Deity for a longer period of time, allowing him to use Sword Beams and more powerful versions of his normal attacks. His strong attack ( / ) lets him play the Song of Time on his ocarina, which allows him to turn his SP gauge into Magic Power. If he uses his strong attack while his Magic Meter is full, he will instead playfully put on the Keaton Mask.

Badges

Main article: Badge Market

To complete all of Young Link's badges in Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition, the player must collect the following materials:

Bronze

Silver

Gold

Costumes

Template:T2D

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Young Link returns as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. He also has a fighter spirit, which can be unlocked by completing Classic Mode with Young Link or by purchasing it from the Vault Shop from 300G after unlocking him.

An Amiibo based on his appearance in Smash Bros. Ultimate was also released.
