Toon Link Hero Matchups and Tips

Toon Link

C Tier

Toon Link excels at zoning and controlling the pace of the match with his projectiles, particularly using Hero's Bow to pressure opponents from a distance. His Boomerang can be utilized for both setups and spacing, while Bombs serve as excellent combo starters, allowing for devastating follow-ups like bomb to fair. However, Toon Link struggles against characters with strong close-range options, as his reliance on projectiles can be disrupted if opponents close the gap quickly. Be mindful of your landing options; using Up Special out of shield can help escape pressure, while mixing in short hop Zair can keep opponents at bay.

Tips for Toon Link

  • Up tilt is good for combos, anti-airing, pressuring a shield after a cross-up, and setting up a kill confirm using [up tilt > up air] when it is landed.
  • Bombs are one of Toon Link's best combo starters. A very good bread and butter is bomb to fair, which can kill pretty early. If you're very desperate to hit the dair spike then bombs can be z-dropped.
  • Z-Drop Tink’s bomb in order to cover yourself back into the ground from above. Avoid using Dair constantly to land as it is laggy and predictable.
  • Get used to using Landing Nair, F-tilt and D-tilt to set up tech chase situations. You can react to all options with a well timed Dash Attack, but also aim to hard punish tech rolls or missed techs
  • Use short hop Zair to outrange opponents with disjointed hitboxes.
