Origin

The Legend of Zelda

Link is the primary protagonist and main playable character of The Legend of Zelda series, having appeared in every game of the series to date under what is usually a different incarnation. Due to his popularity and role in the source games, Link has made an appearance in every game of the Super Smash Bros. series as part of the starting roster, to the point of being the only Legend of Zelda representative in the original Super Smash Bros.; Link also made an appearance as a guest fighter in the GameCube version of Soulcalibur II.

In most games of the series, Link is the chosen hero of the goddesses that has to save Princess Zelda from Ganon, who intends to obtain the Triforce and use it to become the ruler of Hyrule, though Link must first acquire the legendary Master Sword in order to fulfil this destiny, a blade that no evil can lay their hands on. During his adventures, Link has to conquer dungeons and defeat Ganon's forces, as well as acquire various weapons and items that will help him in his quest, such as bombs and bottles; Link will also usually encounter a musical instrument that is important to the completion of his quest, such as the titular Ocarina in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

There are multiple versions of Link that have been made for the M.U.G.E.N engine by a variety of different authors, with the vast majority of them typically using attacks that involve the Master Sword and the various different items that Link encounters on his journeys, such as bombs, the bow and the hookshot.

Link

Based on his design from A Link to the Past, this Link comes well-equipped with many of his trademark items such as a boomerang, various bombs, and elemental staffs (and even game-specific moves like a Moosh assist from Oracle of Ages/Seasons); he also incorporates mechanics from the Zelda series into his gameplay, having an inventory of items that determines his moveset and enemies dropping items such as hearts and bombs.

Ermac Won & MICROmor's version[]

YLink

This Link is a blend of different incarnations of himself, primarily drawing from Ocarina of Time and the Super Smash Bros. series, synthesized around a Marvel vs. Capcom-inspired gameplay. His combos deal heavy damage and he can put the opponent into an infinite by throwing bombs at close range against them. He has an alternate Dark Link palette mode that grants him unique extra moves that make him even more challenging.
