Young Link is an unlockable character in {{SSBM}}.<ref>{{Cite|Fast, nimble, and ready to roll, Young Link awaits you!|Special Message|Super Smash Bros. Melee}}</ref> There are two ways to unlock him: by playing 500 vs. matches, or by completing {{ssb|Classic Mode}} with 10 different characters, including [[Adult Link]] and [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]], at any difficulty and stock. The player will then be challenged by Young Link, and upon defeating him, Young Link will become a playable character. His appearance is based on the young counterpart of Link as seen in ''Ocarina of Time'', since he wields the [[Kokiri Sword]] and the [[Deku Shield]] during combat. Young Link is more agile albeit weaker than the older Link. He has some of the same weaponry and moves as his adult counterpart, but they are usually accompanied with a few changes, like his [[Hookshot]] and [[Boomerang]] having a shorter reach. [[Great Bay]] serves as the home stage of Young Link. Like Adult Link, Young Link can choose different color tunics, including, red, blue, and black. When he taunts his foes, he drinks a Bottle of [[Lon Lon Milk]] then wipes his mouth.
  
   
  +
The '''Swords of Darkness''' are purple in design and feature more spikes than the Swords of Despair. They can be obtained from getting an A-Rank on Adventure Mode's Adventure Map square F-15 after using an [[Item Card#Ice Arrow|Ice Arrow]] to find them.
−
Young Link's special moves are the same as the adult version. He wields the [[Fairy Bow]] from ''Ocarina of Time'' as his {{ssb|neutral special move}}; however, instead of it shooting normal [[Arrow]]s like Adult Link's, Young Link's '''Fire Bow''' shoots [[Fire Arrow]]s, although they do not travel as far as Adult Link's and actually inflict less damage. Young Link's {{ssb|side special move}} is the Boomerang, and while it might not have a range as great as Adult Link's, Young Link actually has more control over it. [[Bomb]]s function as the hero's [[ssb:down special move|down special move]], while the [[Spin Attack]] is his [[ssb:up special move|up special move]] as well as his {{ssb|recovery}}. Young Link's Spin Attack is weaker than Adult Link's, but it can trap nearby foes in a cyclone of slashes upon performing this move.
  
   
  +
The '''Swords of Demise''' are black and red swords with gold hilts and pommels, now bearing several red, horn-like spikes emerging from each blade. They can be obtained from getting an A-Rank on the Adventure Map square B-8, after using the [[Item Card#Digging Mitts|Digging Mitts]] to find them.
−
Young Link does not appear in {{SSBB}} since he is replaced instead by [[Toon Link]]. He also appears as various [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros.)|Trophies]].
  
   
  +
The Lv.★ form of the Great Swords are the '''8-Bit Magical Key''', which are based on the regular [[Key]]s and [[Magical Key]] from {{TLoZ}}. They are obtained by getting an A-Rank on Twilight Map square H-5, after using a [[Item Card#Bomb|Bomb]] to find them.

In {{HW}}, Young Link appears as a playable Warrior in the ''Majora's Mask'' DLC Pack. He attacks using his Kokiri Sword, but can also use the [[Fierce Deity's Mask]] to transform into the [[Fierce Deity]] and use its attacks. He also wears the [[Keaton Mask]] over his head, which can be used by tapping the Strong Attack button when his [[Magic Power|Magic]] is filled, although he only growls and, after removing the mask, giggles.

==Etymology==
−
Young Link is initially weak compared to other Warriors, as the power and range of his attacks are merely adequate as is his mobility. To compensate for this, Young Link possesses a unique trait; the ability to convert his [[Special Attack]] Meter into his Magic Meter by playing the {{It|Ocarina of Time}} to empty his Special Attack Meter and fill his Magic Meter with the equivalent amount. By using [[Focus Spirit]], Young Link can then transform into the Fierce Deity and utilize the [[Fierce Deity Sword]], which fires [[sword beam]]s. Fierce Deity Link also greatly improves his speed, power, reach, and grants him the typical bonuses from Focus Spirit. Young Link can keep restoring his Magic Meter with the Ocarina while using Focus Spirit, potentially allowing him to remain in Focus Spirit indefinitely if a sufficient amount of the Special Attack Meter is recycled periodically. If Young Link has two [[Badge|Fierce Deity Badge]]s crafted and a full Special Attack Meter, he may fill the Magic Meter in one instance by playing the Ocarina.
