His recovery is also easy to exploit for characters with counters, and small body characters may be tough for him to land his attacks on. Characters with good frame data are much better at punishing Link's slower attacks, so ZSS, Pikachu, or Joker may be trouble.

Link generally has a pretty good matchup for most characters, although there are some characters who may give him trouble. Out of all three Links, his sword grants him the most range, so he also can do well against characters with short range on their attacks. With a wide array of projectiles in his kit, Link does well against most big body characters (similar to the other Links), since they are an easy target for boomerang and bomb. For other characters who are not shown here, we are still investigating the matchup. Pokemon Trainer's individual Pokemon (Squirtle, Ivysaur, and Charizard) as well as Echo fighters with no significant difference than their regular counterpart are not shown.ĥ.
