A staple of Link's, the Bow that Link has the capability of being charged up. However, as soon as its charged, the arrow will shoot off. The distance & speed of the arrow is dependant on how much the move has been charged.

Link's side special remains the same as the previous game, with the Twilight Princess variant of the Boomerang. With the Gale Boomerang, Link will be able to fire it outwards, with some minor control, before it comes back. It will damage any opponent that it hits and, on occassion, can catch them in the gust and bring them closer to you.

Link's up special is, once again, his staple move. This move can be used on the ground or in the air as a form of recovery and will cause Link to spin around with his sword, damaging an opponent who makes contact.

Another staple of Link's movesets is the Bomb. When you use the down special, Link will bring out a Bomb, modelled after the Twilight Princess ones. This bomb will explode on impact when thrown, but if held for too long, will explode in Link's hands.

Link's final smash is the Triforce Slash. Link's Triforce power will glow and he will spot an opponent and grab them. He will then start slashing and stabbing repeatedly at them causing a massive amount of damage and then blast them away.
