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 [[Nintendo Wii U|Wii U]] game, he is unlocked as part of the [[Hyrule Warriors#Majora's Mask Pack|Majora's Mask Pack]] DLC. In ''[[Hyrule Warriors Legends]]'' and the ''[[Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition|Definitive Edition]]'', he is unlocked on Adventure Map G-9.
 
In ''Hyrule Warriors'' on the Wii U, Young Link drops the same [[Hyrule Warriors Materials|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 (Hyrule Warriors)|Keaton Mask]] as a gold. Young Link is weak to darkness-element damage.
 
===Weapon===
{{Main|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 Beam]]s and more powerful versions of his normal attacks. His strong attack ({{HW Button|s}}) lets him play the [[Song of Time]] on his [[Ocarina of Time|ocarina]], which allows him to turn his [[Special Attack|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.

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.

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:

Hyrule Warriors

"By playing his Ocarina of Time, this youthful warrior can use the Fierce Deity Sword to focus his magical power, then unleash it upon enemies."

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 (X / Y ) 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.
