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.

'''''Hyrule Wariors Legends''''' is a spin-off for the [[3DS]], combining the world of ''The Legend of Zelda'' with the action of {{wp|Koei Tecmo}}'s ''{{wp|Dynasty Warriors}}'' series. The game is a port and a new version of {{HW}}, featuring new characters and other mechanical changes.<ref name="announcement trailer">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zGDEUPZNlh8 Nintendo 3DS - Hyrule Warriors Legends E3 2015 Trailer ]</ref>
  
   
  +
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.

==Changes and Additions==
  
−
===Story===
  
−
Like its predecessor, ''Hyrule Warriors Legends'' features [[Legend Mode]] and its plot. However, in addition to the story shown in the original ''Hyrule Warriors'', the game also features two new stories - [[Linkle's Tale]], focusing on the new character [[Linkle]] and her attempts to reach [[Hyrule Castle]] and prove herself as the legendary hero, and the [[Saga of the Great Sea]], which takes place after the original story and shows [[Cia]] returning and opening a new portal to the era of {{TWW}} - as well as the previously DLC-exclusive [[Cia's Tale]], which was included in the ''Master Quest'' DLC Pack for the Wii U version.
  
   
  +
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]].
−
===Gameplay===
  
−
The gameplay is mostly identical to the original ''Hyrule Warriors'', though it features a few key differences: during certain battles, it is possible to tap on other Warriors' portraits on the bottom screen and switch to that character. In addition, by tapping the map on the bottom screen, allied Warriors that are not currently controlled can be directed to different locations on the map, and can even target certain stronger enemies. However, if any of the allied Warriors are defeated, the battle is lost.
  
   
  ⚫
====Trophy Information====
−
There are also two new items included in the game: the [[Ocarina]] and the [[Hammer]]. The Ocarina is a non-offensive item used for transportation - in certain Scenarios, there are [[Owl Statue]]s scattered across the map that were not present in the Wii U version. By standing in front of them and pressing the dodge button when using the Zelda Style button setting or the regular attack button when using the Warriors Style button setting, Warriors can activate these, allowing them to play the Ocarina to teleport to them at any time during a battle. When present, the Owl Statues are typically placed nearby locations that the Warrior will need to return to at several points during the Scenario. The Hammer is a heavy weapon that can be swung to attack enemies with or weaken the new giant boss, the [[Helmaroc King]].

−  
−
In addition, a new game element known as the [[Smash Boost Power]] effect can be triggered by gathering multiple allied Warriors around a giant boss. This refills the [[Magic Gauge]] for all Warriors and boosts their attack power. The more Warriors gathered, the more effective the Smash Boost Power will be.
  
−  
−
Unlike its predecessor, ''Hyrule Warriors Legends'' is solely a single-player game with no options for multiplayer. All modes present in the original game return, with the sole exception of [[Challenge Mode]]. In addition, a new mode called [[My Fairy]] is included as an extension of [[Adventure Mode]].

−  
−
===My Fairy===
  
−
{{Main|My Fairy}}
  
−
A new game mode, called My Fairy, allows players to befriend [[Fairy|Fairies]] and use them in battles in Adventure Mode. These Fairies can be raised in a number of ways to grow stronger, and can learn new skills and attributes that increases their proficiency in battle. The mode also lets players customize their Fairies' appearance in costumes called Fairy Wear.

==Game Information==
  
−
===Development===
  
−
On June 10th, 2015, a Japanese trailer for the 3DS version was accidentally leaked to YouTube on Koei Tecmo's official Japanese channel, due to being marked as unlisted rather than private. Though the mistake was quickly corrected, the video had already spread throughout the internet including various gaming news sources. The trailer was later shown as intended at E3 2015 on July 16th during Nintendo's Digital Event with the English title and logo.
  
−  
−
''Hyrule Warriors Legends'' was developed after many fans told the developers they would like to play the original game on a handheld. Porting ''Hyrule Warriors'' to the 3DS proved to be challenging as the hardware is not as powerful compared to the Wii U; the developers had spent a lot of time optimizing the game and to get the right amount of enemies to appear on-screen.<ref name="Interview1"/> In order to run the game as smoothly as possible, the stereoscopic 3D will be disabled on older models of the 3DS, but it can still be utilized on the [[New Nintendo 3DS]] and [[New Nintendo 3DS XL]] due to their superior CPU.<ref name="Interview1"/>
  
−  
−
===Limited Editions===
  
−
[[File:HWL Treasure Box Contents.jpg|thumb|right|The contents of the treasure box edition]]
  
−
Just like the original game, two limited editions of the game were released in Japan. The premium box edition included a copy of the game, an art book, and a [[Compass]] clock, resembling the compass worn by [[Linkle]]. The treasure box edition, exclusive to Amazon Japan and GAMECITY, also included the extras from the premium box, plus a golden Ocarina and a [[Fairy]] plush.<ref>{{Cite web|quote= |author= Brian|published= September 16, 2015|retrieved= September 20, 2015|url= http://nintendoeverything.com/hyrule-warriors-legends-coming-to-japan-on-january-21/|title= Hyrule Warriors Legends coming to Japan on January 21|site= Nintendo Everything|type=}}</ref> In Europe, a limited edition is also set to be released, featuring a copy of the game and Linkle's Compass clock.

In North America, a 16-page character art book is also included by pre-ordering the game at GameStop retailers.<ref>{{Cite web|quote= Pre-purchase the Hyrule Warriors Legends game, and receive a special-edition, soft-cover, 16-page character art book exclusively at GameStop.* Learn more about key characters and view concept art for warriors and weapons, including the new hero Linkle and her mysterious compass - along with Toon Link, Tetra, and King Daphnes, who sailed across the Great Sea to save the world from evil!|author= |published= |retrieved= February 19, 2016|url= http://www.gamestop.com/nintendo-3ds/games/hyrule-warriors-legends/126801?cid=soc_001#bonusFeatures|title= Pre-Order Hyrule Warriors: Legends and receive a GameStop Exclusive Character Art Book!|site= GameStop official website|type=}}</ref>

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|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.
   
  +
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.

Young Link's ''Strength VI'' Strong Attack allows his boots to momentarily grow wings that enable him to slide across the ground while performing repeated slashes, and execute a massive, Triforce-shaped explosion. They resemble both the [[Pegasus Boots]] and the [[Hover Boots]].
⚫
{{Ref}}
  
   
  +
Similar to Link, [[Proxi]] speaks on Young Link's behalf. When defeated, Young Link drops the same [[material]]s as his adult counter part such as Link's Boot for Silver material and the Scarf as Gold material. However in {{HWL}}, Young Link drops his own materials such as his Belt for silver material and the Keaton Mask as gold material.

Young Link in Super Smash Bros. Melee

Young Link is an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. Melee.[1] There are two ways to unlock him: by playing 500 vs. matches, or by completing Classic Mode with 10 different characters, including Adult Link and 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.

Young Link's special moves are the same as the adult version. He wields the Fairy Bow from Ocarina of Time as his neutral special move; however, instead of it shooting normal Arrows like Adult Link's, Young Link's Fire Bow shoots Fire Arrows, although they do not travel as far as Adult Link's and actually inflict less damage. Young Link's 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. Bombs function as the hero's down special move, while the Spin Attack is his up special move as well as his 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.

Young Link does not appear in Super Smash Bros. Brawl since he is replaced instead by Toon Link. He also appears as various Trophies.

Trophy Information

# Name Image First Game / Move Description How to Unlock
70 Young Link File:Young Link Trophy.png The Legend of Zelda
07/87 		Link's younger incarnation is often considered to be the true Link: he was a young boy in the very first Legend of Zelda game, and he has appeared as a youth in most of the subsequent games. Since his debut on the original NES in 1987, Link's appearance has changed over and over again, each time adding to the mystique of his incomparable story. Complete Classic Mode as Young Link
71 Young Link [Smash] File:Young Link Trophy (Smash).png B: Fire Bow
Smash B: Boomerang 		Young Link is lighter and faster than his older self, and his Kokiri sword packs less punch. Even though his Boomerang has a shorter range, he has greater control over it. He's a smaller target, and while his Hookshot has less reach than older Link's, you can still use it in midair as a last ditch attempt to grab a ledge. Complete Adventure Mode as Young Link
72 Young Link [Smash] File:Young Link Trophy 2 (Smash).png Up & B: Spin Attack
Down & B: Bomb 		With a youthful spring in his step, Young Link can perform amazing wall-jumps. Once he hits a wall, tap the Control stick in the opposite direction to send him leaping upward; you can practice to your heart's content in Target Test. His Spin Attack can strike multiple times even on the ground, and although it's hard to discern, so do his Bombs. Complete All-Star Mode as Young Link

Hyrule Warriors Series

HW Young Link Sword

In Hyrule Warriors, 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 is filled, although he only growls and, after removing the mask, giggles.

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 Template:It 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 beams. 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 Fierce Deity Badges crafted and a full Special Attack Meter, he may fill the Magic Meter in one instance by playing the Ocarina.

Young Link's Strength VI Strong Attack allows his boots to momentarily grow wings that enable him to slide across the ground while performing repeated slashes, and execute a massive, Triforce-shaped explosion. They resemble both the Pegasus Boots and the Hover Boots.

Similar to Link, Proxi speaks on Young Link's behalf. When defeated, Young Link drops the same materials as his adult counter part such as Link's Boot for Silver material and the Scarf as Gold material. However in Hyrule Warriors Legends, Young Link drops his own materials such as his Belt for silver material and the Keaton Mask as gold material.
