@@Ryan-hb1lp thank you:) I personally only have good things to say about IzAw. He helped me through his videos and via direct coaching, and he's always been an inspiration youtube wise. I always try to format my videos so they can coexist with his, and I can honestly say both this video and IzAw's art of link are different enough so that one can learn new things from each.

[@ohnoknux4163]

1. Don't spam projectiles, use your (op) sword

[@jramirez4310]

peepee poopoo well placed/ timed arrows can interrupt enemy projectiles and weak smashes. They can also catch an opponent recovering if you launch them too far away to hit with the OP sword lol But generally, yes, spamming will get you in serious trouble against tougher competition. Arrow spam is saved for when I feel like trolling k rool players and Lucas players who spam pk frost. ;)

[@ohnoknux4163]

Joe Ramirez yeah i agree

[@rulasmania]

J Ramirez more like if you’re gonna spam something let the boomerang be it but don’t be predictable

[@jramirez4310]

@@rulasmania waaaay late reply, but boomerang setups by throwing it behind your opponent on purpose while you pressure from the front is a lot of fun (not for your opponent of course lol). My favorite setup is catching getups with the boomerang from behind, an arrow to the face, and (during the brief hit stun) fair to the face At high percents, they're deleted.

[@Joe_334]

So many people online not following your guide anyways. It's why I play zelda.

The more tech skill videos I watch the more I notice how claw grip can make everything easier. From normal plays in which you are faster without having to move your thumb all over the controller to simple tech skill like c bouncing. I can recommend to everyone learn it. It may seem very uncomfortable and uncontrollable in first place, but after only two weeks you will feel like its natural to you, so don't give up :D

10:22 - if the enemy is standing that far back or charging a smash attack, do the follow ledge mix-up: back, double jump, neutral B, up B back to the ledge. You can do this a couple times to poke them with arrows and either give you space or try to punish your arrows giving you a chance to attack.

[@LxZLink]

Mmmm, you’ll most likely get spiked for that, as you wont have invincibility

[@LxZLink]

Thank you :)

[@paathimself]

Sure! Question: was labbing this last night and I’ve got it down but haven’t tried it with an opponent who is DIing. Is down throw into turnaround short hop bair into turnaround ASA true?

[@LxZLink]

Dthrow bair for sure, dthrow bair asa will only work at low percent if you hit the opponent with the “thighs” of the bair

[@paathimself]

LxZ Link Gotcha. I found that the percent has to be “pretty low,” like sub-10% to be dependable (it gets finicky after that). But otherwise, assuming single digit percent and I bit the thighs of the Bair, it will be true for all characters regardless of DI/dodge? (Was able to hit as small as Pikachu in training yesterday). I ask because my usual low percent bread and butter is downthrow into turnaround up tilt. If I can master this new one you show us, I wonder what the point would be in doing any other low percent down throw combo (unless I want to place my opponent somewhere on the stage)

[@paathimself]

(Above, I’m referring to finishing with ASA as I’m sure it’s less strict when it’s just dthrow into Bair. Thanks for replying!)

LxZ Link hey! Thanks for answering! What I meant is that sometimes when transitioning from casual to more serious smash, some players (myself included) don’t know what or how to practice. This link guide is great because it not only describes link’s moves and combos, but also the best way to practice them, so it would be cool to have a guide like this one but for the basic things a new-ish player should learn
