Oh, crud, one more thing. I think it'd be cute if you made a Marin buddy to go along with him. Reference the part of LA when she follows you to Animal Village. Her taunt could be her singing the first few notes of Ballad of the Wind Fish. Just a suggestion. I'll shut up now. lol

all in all, good mod. Keep up the good work

I DO have a couple notes: I think he should've had pegasus boots worked into his moves as either a SSpecial or a dash attack; but whatever you wanna do is best obviously. Second, his BAir appears to just be him slapping the opponent. Is that something I don't get; or is it unintentional? His NAir has the same quirck, despite making a sword sound. You could have used his spin animation of the NAir; but again, your mod, do you.
And lastly, I feel like he could have a more unique DStrong. I personally would have had the shovel be a DStrong that could bury; and had his FTilt be a magic powder toss that had fire damage.

first of all: I have to thank you for making this mod. The Hero of Legend is my bros favorite link; and this mod made him giddy af.

second of all: great job on this! I was honestly expecting kind of lousy experience; but that was totally incorrect. They way you put this guy together feels SO authentic. It FEELS like I'm actually playing as him, not a take on him (if that makes sense.)
The moveset has so many smart references as well. The cape for his double jump, Biggoron sword for a huge UStrong, The Whirliegig bird for the USpecial (Dunno if I spelled that right).
Seriously great stuff.

I do have a Dark Link boss character I've occasionally worked on every so often but have never bothered to finish, maybe one day

could you also snes link? or maybe minish cap?

id suggest you add the companios as specials or smash attacks to differentiate him, moos for up special, rikki for side, demitri for down

you cant aim seed shooter now and they have no float stall which represented the rocs cape

This was my go-to on the school bus back when.

nair is basically a punch or a kick, it's supposed to mimic Link's nair in smash bros, actually in oracle of seasons and ages you could punch with a certain 2 rings. And yeah I hadn't really considered the running speed or the jump distance because i had gotten used to them thru play testing so much lol, but thanks for the feedback :)

So I LOVE this character. I played the oracle games and they're so classic for me playing this was just amazing but i have a few questions/criticism

is his neutral air supposed to not have sword? When playing this i don't know where the hitbox is as he just holds out his hand but seems to hit people as if a sword was there...

his running speed is fast, REALLY FAST. That amount of runspeed feels unnatural even you were going for the pegasus seeds/boots feel.

is his dash attack supposed to go that far? it goes across the stage in one use and is really easy to nearly KO yourself with it.

overall though its REALLY fun to play GB link, thanks for putting the effort in!!

well i guess I can reduce the knock back then. I did kinda want it to be broken though
Shmepppppp 13 Oct, 2019 @ 12:47pm 
It kills in 2 hits. that is way too strong.
ClassicGamer64  [author] 13 Oct, 2019 @ 12:06pm 
why not, i wanted it to stand out more and be different from the original move
Shmepppppp 13 Oct, 2019 @ 6:07am 
why is the copy ability so strong?
ClassicGamer64  [author] 11 Oct, 2019 @ 7:48pm 
Kirby compatible now, I say I got the best Kirby sprite for this occasion
ClassicGamer64  [author] 10 Oct, 2019 @ 8:35pm 
DTILT is intentional since in the zelda games he attacks down during the side scroll sections, the solution to this move which can also ledge trap is to use it the opposite direction of the enemy
Dyxo Xinoro 10 Oct, 2019 @ 7:26pm 
I actually really like how the dtilt is right now since it lets him stand on a platform and counter harass people trying to attack him through it.
SmokePudding 10 Oct, 2019 @ 7:22pm 
Interesting character but it seems he does a little too much damage imo

Also his down tilt seems to hit in the wrong direction. Intentional?
ClassicGamer64  [author] 10 Oct, 2019 @ 10:45am 
That sounds like an idea, and thanks!
Bruz 10 Oct, 2019 @ 9:40am 
I dare you use the dance from the Oracles minigame as his taunt.
Btw I'm looking forward in seeing what this will become, very nice! :)

just a simple sword swing would do fine, i dont think the hookshot NEEDS to be incorporated but i understand wanting it in
ClassicGamer64  [author] 9 Oct, 2019 @ 3:21pm 
Yeah i struggled a bit with trying to incorporate the hookshot, it just comes off a bit un-natural i guess, i'd think of something else i could replace it with but it's a bit difficult to think of moves for a character as simple as this
afam. 9 Oct, 2019 @ 2:57pm 
i love him but not a fan of the forward tilt
ClassicGamer64  [author] 9 Oct, 2019 @ 9:26am 
Thanks! it was my first attempt at a character, still some things i need to fix but other than that I feel pretty good about it
Ninten 9 Oct, 2019 @ 5:12am 
this looks really cool!
