We should have known it. Wind Waker HD came out today in Japan.

yes
Btw, great model, and great effort up to now on character faces.

 

[Stratostar]

Toon Link is back, ooh kill 'em!

 

[Metal B]

Disappointed. I like Toon Link but I reckon it's a slot wasted for 2 characters that are the same person

They are not the same person and Wind Waker Link with four games is now pretty much part of a spin-off series.

 

[TheOGB]

Sonic on October... Whenever the hell, early November maybe

Do it Sakurai

 

[DICKS AHOY]

Because he isn't the same person as TP Link (and could possibly be the same age even).

If I'm remembering right, young/OoT/MM Link was roughly 10, 'Toon' Link's stated to be 12/13 at some point in WW and all of the adult Link's are around 18 years old.

Disappointed. I like Toon Link but I reckon it's a slot wasted for 2 characters that are the same person

Especially if originals are gonna get cut. :/

 

[ArcaneFreeze]

They better change his Final Smash and not have it be the same as Adult Links like in Brawl. Have him use the WindWaker to summon Cyclos and his Cyclone as his Final Smash.

 

[ffdgh]

Here's his profile image

Real talk,

Spoiler

fuck Yoshi

.

 

[Jintor]

He looks so baller

 

[SuperSah]

Can someone imgur these for me?

College filter blocks the shot.

 

[skypunch]

Don't know if I like this. The picture of Toon Link and regular Link standing next to each other looks weird, imo. I would have preferred it if they'd got rid of Toonballs and replaced him with a new fresh character.

 

[IntelliHeath]

Especially if originals are gonna get cut. :/

Now I'm concerned.

They better change his Final Smash and not have it be the same as Adult Links like in Brawl. Have him use the WindWaker to summon Cyclos and his Cyclone as his Final Smash.

If he still have same moves right now then I seriously doubt that he would have different final smash.

 

[kittens]

toon link is a total qt

 

[Greenzxy]

Look at those creases. Man I love those little details.

 

[Hours Left]

Now I'm concerned.

If they keep everyone, then I have no problem with Toon Link being in, but to have him take a spot when original characters are potentially gonna be left out? I think that's extremely lame.

And all for a little Wind Waker promotion? -_-

 

[Busaiku]

Maybe they'll cut out some Star Fox characters.

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

The current link is the SS link. His design really isn't very different from TP link at all anyway.

No, it's TP Link. He still has the eagle glove and everything.

 

[Mistouze]

Aww yeah, not surprising but I'm happy because I liked playing him better than the other Link in Brawl. Loved his (air) Down+A shennanigans.

 

[SuperChoco]

Toon Link being back in confirms in my eyes that Wolf will the only one left on Brawl Island.

 

[Kyzon]

I know what's been bugging me. BIG ASS HEADS!

Pictures with Mario next to Peach all of a sudden look so awkward because his head is bigger than her torso. Toon link just looks weird around everyone else.

That said, Sakurai is really putting in work with facial expressions now.

 

[Olorin]

The current link is the SS link. His design really isn't very different from TP link at all anyway.

Not true. Just look at the shield design. Smash Link is clearly the Twilight Princess version.

 

[Vampirolol]

Fuck yeah!!

 

[deleted]

He looks amazing! Not my fave, but with him returning I can see the whole brawl gang back (except maybe Sonic and Snake). Now please announce King K. Rool as a newcomer.

 

[LuuKyK]

Toon Link being back in confirms in my eyes that Wolf will the only one left on Brawl Island.

And no one will miss him.

Edit: Wait, is that what you mean? lol

 

[AnkiRendan]

Especially if originals are gonna get cut. :/

Not like there hasn't been a Young Link character since Melee or anything. People disappointed themselves.

 

[Byronic Hero]

I wanted Majora's Mask Young Link. Oh well. Still cool.

 

[Dereck]

Ehh...

 

[Spring-Loaded]

such kawaii

 

[TriGen]

Cool. I was pulling for him.

 

[GundamBanshee]

Hail yeah, glad to see him back. Looks great!

Here's his profile image

I just wanna bite his wittle feet.

 

[Rubius]

Real talk,

Spoiler

fuck Yoshi

Well I think you should touch fuzzy and get dizzy.

I'm happy that Toon Link is back. Hopefully he will be different from Link and have more Wind Waker oriented build.

 

[Hours Left]

Young Link and Toon Link aren't the same.

But neither of them are worthwhile characters IMO. We don't need two Links when there are literally tons of other Nintendo characters that deserve a shot.

 

[SuperChoco]

And no one will miss him.

Edit: Wait, is that what you mean? lol

Wolf should stay in Brawl. That's what I meant. I thought that was obvious.

Spoiler

Early morning updates = Terrible grammer

No, no, please god no. Worst choice to stay aside from ROB.

 

[AGoodODST]

Yes! Favourite character from Brawl.

Better still have his green and brown alt costume.

 

[Hours Left]

No, no, please god no. Worst choice to stay aside from ROB.

You did not.

ROB is life.

 

[foxuzamaki]

No, no, please god no. Worst choice to stay aside from ROB.

oh no you didnt, also dont let wolf doggie hear you say this lol

 

[Thunder Monkey]

Yes!

Him and Olimar are my mains.

 

[PogiJones]

Real talk,

Spoiler

fuck Yoshi

.

Yoshi was one of the most fun characters to play in the 64 version. He's declined since then, but I have hope for him yet!

(Not even Project M has put him in yet...)

 

[SuperChoco]

No, no, please god no. Worst choice to stay aside from ROB.

Wanting a character to stay in Brawl != Believe a character should be in Smash 4.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I love him but I was hoping Lttp2 Link I'll be perfectly honest. And what black magic are they performing to get the 3DS version to look that good!

 

[foxuzamaki]

Yes!

Him and Olimar are my mains.

well looks like smash is a day 1 for you then.

 

[Thunder Monkey]

well looks like smash is a day 1 for you then.

I'll probably end up buying a WiiU around that time lol.

It wasn't conditional, but it makes the choice a hell of a lot easier.

 

[TheOGB]

Wolf can stick around, ROB can go be emo about all of his friends dying

Spoiler

Really wish these updates happened at a time that allowed for rational thought

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I can honestly say I don't think we'll get any cuts. Doesn't seem somethink Sakurai's interested in.

 

[Mauricio_Magus]

I hope they differentiate him more from normal link.

The only other characters I want back is Dedede and Ness. I'm also hoping for more female chars... and Shulk.

NO DUDE.

 

[El Sabroso]

it's so awful to have clones back, well, so Fox, Falco and Wolf (if the 3rd returns) will have land master as Final Smash again right?

 

[NotLiquid]

I hope they differentiate him more from normal link.

I hope he stays better than normal Link to continue proving that Wind Waker is superior :3c
