Young Link (Majora's Mask)

Description
Young Link joins the battle! This time, he comes with a Majora's Mask inspired moveset.

Young Link, while sporting the 3 transformation masks from Majora's Mask, maintains the ping-pong projectile combo playstyle that he had in Smash Ultimate, with some big changes.

Most notably, his specials have all been changed.

Nspecial: Slingshot
Young Link pulls out his slingshot from Ocarina of Time (I know it's not in MM I just thought it would fit him as a character better) and shoots a deku seed. This very briefly stuns opponents in place and launches them a very slight distance, working very simiarly to the fire arrow from smash. If charged, The seed will travel much faster, and will stun the opponent for a significantly longer amount of time, and then launch them quite a distance.

Fspecial: Zora Boomerang
Young Link Dons the Zora mask and throws a boomerang. This boomerang works very differently to his Smash one, though. When an opponent gets hit by it, they get launched up and toward Young Link, making his signature boomerang combos harder at first, but much more powerful if you can predict where the opponent will get sent. The boomerang also does not stop when hitting an opponent and can hit an opponent multiple times. The other notable change that this boomerang has is its ability to home into Young Link no matter what. If it's moving away from him, it will actually turn around to keep following him, opening up the possibility of adjusting the trajectory of the boomerang mid flight to catch an opponent.

Dspecial: Powder Keg
Young Link dons the Goron mask and pulls out a powder keg. Once placed down, he can use any of his projectiles to set off the powder keg, doing massive damage to anyone in range, including him if he isn't careful. The powder keg will also explode on its own without warning, so be wary when it's on the field.

Uspecial: Deku Flower
Using the Deku mask, Young Link burrows into a deku flower, and then shoots up. this will either go low or high depending on if you held down b for a short time after the startup frames. After the launch, he will pull out a flower and glide, similarly to Game & Watch's uspecial.

@LiteralStickman It's probably possible, but it would take a lot of coding that i dont really want to do just for a taunt. maybe someday; trust me that was like my first idea when brainstorming this guy

Ooh, I have a question: Do you plan on adding minor functionality to some of his songs? I noticed his taunt, and I immediately tried to play song of time, song of healing, etc, and I was kinda disappointed when they didn't work. Is that even possible, or is it too adventurous of an idea?

Thats okay I understand, thank you for making this regardless. Its really cool.

@FatherofDroids I am thinking of doing a variation of this young link with some different moves and fully different specials that would pull from oot and would differ more from smash young link but he'd still be young link. sorry i dont plan on making another fully unique link anytime soon.

This is so cool! Do you think you'd ever consider doing an adult OOT Link? That character means the world to me and I can't really find a mod of him anywhere else. I know there's a ToTK Link on the workshop, but they aren't the same character.

if he had a final smash it would be fierce deity

Oh, this looks fun. If you haven’t already, you could make it compatible with the Final Smash Buddy and have the Fierce Deity as his FS. Just a thought

wait actually the specials are so smart i wish smash did this cause it would still be close to regular link but very different

Finally! Finally a Link that have nothing to do with the newer Zelda games, an OG Link
