Young Link

Young Link or simply Kid Link is a child form of Link who appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask and Super Smash Bros. Melee (as an unlockable) and a protagonist in the animated movie The Legend of Zelda: Past and Present, helping the current Link in the adventures. He was replaced by Toon Link from Wind Waker since Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

He has also appeared in Hyrule Warriors as a playable DLC character, with the ability to transform into the Fierce Deity.

Young Link is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee. He is based off of Link's appearance as a child in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask. Young Link is unlocked by either completing Classic Mode or Adventure Mode with 10 characters, including two Zelda characters (i.e. Link, Princess Zelda or Ganondorf), or by completing 500 VS. Mode matches. Once the player has fulfilled these requirements they will face Young Link on the Great Bay stage. Victory means unlocking him.

Fighting Style
His fighting style is a modified duplicate of Link's. His reach is shorter than [adult] Link's, but his arrows can set opponents on fire and momentarily stun them. Additionally, Young Link has more control over his boomerang than Link. His Hookshot is also shorter but can still grapple on to edges. His Spin Attack is faster than Link's, hits multiple times and draws in opponents close to it. Young Link uses a Deku Shield; however, it does not burn when it comes in contact with fire. Like Link, his shield can block projectiles when standing still. Unlike Link, Young Link can do wall jumps.
