Young Link Hero Matchups and Tips

Young Link

D Tier

Young Link excels at controlling the pace of the match with his projectiles, particularly using Fire Arrow and Boomerang to zone opponents and create openings for damage. His Up Special, Spin Attack, serves as a reliable combo extender, especially after landing a Boomerang or Fair, allowing you to keep the pressure on enemies. However, he struggles against characters with strong close-range options, as his relatively lightweight frame makes him susceptible to early knockouts. To maximize your effectiveness, balance your projectile usage with sword attacks, ensuring you maintain offensive momentum without becoming overly reliant on spamming.
