Smash 4: Art of Toon Link

[@frkscheeks1528]

Lamp oil? Rope? Bombs? You want it? It's yours, my friend. As long as you have enough rupees.

[@Koishi97]

Chike Esedebe *Rubies

[@Justinbyleth]

Uh, no, rupees

[@tea-stomach-cycle6385]

Rubies...

[@anonymouswaddledee2805]

Chike Esedebe It is written that only IzAw can defeat bad playstyles.

[@takeiteze2847]

come back when you're a little.....MMMMMMMM, R I C H E R

[@peacockkae]

Before I commit to your patreon, I'd like to ask if an update of an Art Of would be possible. The Art of Kirby is horrendously outdated and I'd pay for a revamp.

[@IzAwSmash]

Absolutely

[@greenamogus]

Peacockke Kirby is so cute

[@okami7847]

Peacockke Yesss! Thats the only one that I'd love to be redone (even though Art of Cloud is also outdated imo).

[@littlekitty4499]

+IzawSmash YAY THX IZAW

[@life5496]

IzawSmash back throw kills but thats it

[@MoobsVGM]

The new definitive Toon Link tutorial! Best thing I've ever helped with.

[@lududelubin3011]

which one was it beforehand?

[@MoobsVGM]

There are many tutorials for Tink and none of them are invalid anymore, but I know I would personally recommend this video primarily now.

[@codenameunown]

Moobs the VG Musician, Joshua JJG did a really good in-depth guide on glide-tossing bombs!

[@ToffeeBun]

Kinda surprised that Izaw didn't mention any bfos/bomb tricks in this video tho 🤔

[@colbyhill25]

JoshuaJJG he did. Thing is they aren't all that good so he didn't want to focus on it.

[@adminhmeijin1532]

Art of series completed for the Zelda franchise. Good on ya, Izaw/donators!

[@charm_wis]

But what about Sheik... ^^

[@adminhmeijin1532]

Charm There was an art of sheik but it's outdated and is titled something else now lol 😂 I guess I'll hold this l

[@someidiotwithafryingpan3752]

Toon Link's forward aerial is WAY to strong It's just not F-air

[@seanmedina8735]

ThePsylent1 uh.. Greninja, cloud, and mario would like a word

[@ThaMxUp]

Mario's fair isn't really stronggg it just meteors cloud's fair risks killing him as well and greninja is about as used a jigglypuff

[@SUPDOZ]

*too

[@codenameunown]

Thanks Izaw for giving me an in-depth guide on my personal Main. Also, Shoutout to JoshuaJJG for the best Jump-cancel Glide-toss video for T-link mains like myself.

[@codenameunown]

Also, don't forget that Toon Link has REALLY good glide-toss combos w/ bombs. I saw Joshua JJG do a video about jump-cancel glide-tossing bombs.

[@redoutsettoonlink7158]

?Codename Unown? Dude Its me Toon link 25

[@dr.kleimann]

Thank you so much for this! I used to play Tink but drooped him to focus on polishing my main which I now have pretty solid. But since said main loses some MU I was currently facing a predicament on which character to secondary. Always thought of coming back to Tink but I just couldn't figure out a way to improve with his play style. This video completely motivated me on picking him up again and hope that I can improve him to the point I can reliably call him my secondary, Thank you again Izaw.

[@lucatsoking2783]

What an honor to work on this! I hope I was helpful with what I provided, even if the others probably put in more work than I did. All the same, thanks for having me!

[@Glockenspheal]

21:15 I dunno why, but Ganondorf's moves crack me up XD

[@garrettmarzo7858]

And people say Toon Link is a braindead spammer.

[@ToffeeBun]

:)

[@shaunn02]

He's brain-dead unless you went into the lab literally once with him

[@matiascastillo744]

Garrett Marzo well he can be a spammer when necessary

[@Focus_20SF]

Garrett Marzo no ppl are brain dead lol

[@unnamed7485]

Focus_20SF I do find some characters obnoxiously annoying(no names), but eh. People are the same way, you gotta learn to deal with them

[@teddytreebark906]

Just a thought, but have you considered adding a section about exploiting the weaknesses of the character in question? I think it's important to understand the weaknesses of your character and watch for certain scenarios that your opponents might try to achieve.

[@solarsonic7178]

I know this is very late but he does sometimes talk about a character's weaknesses, albeit not in it's own section.

[@jarsdad]

Could you make a Art of 5.99 where you teach everybody the art of using one's credit card to win?

[@hawkinator7435]

0:32 When that down air hits juuuuust right

[@ToffeeBun]

[@holatub]

JoshuaJJG notice me senpiaaaa

[@iiP1XL]

JoshuaJJG ur guide sucks

[@holatub]

Yurei Shiro back off my senpai

[@lonkster]

another amazing yet in-depth tutorial you amaze me how u know so much about all of these characters. hands down one of the best tutorial people iv ever seen.

[@lonkster]

also i would donate but im broke as hell but ill support u on the sidelines!

[@Space_Bones]

Thank you for making this! As a Toon Link main, I always look for ways to improve my game, so I'm glad that Toon Link got so much love. Thank you again!

[@linkerDA]

Yes yes yes yes I have been waiting for this since ever

[@n8zong]

You have no idea how long I've waited for this! Thank you so much for making this awesome Art of Toon Link video! Toon link is one of the most fun characters to play with and I think you did a great job explaining it! Gotta hand it to you for making such a great and in-depth video :D

[@WindsRequiem]

Glad I was able to help out a little :D So much good music 😭

[@RangersGoHard132]

Instead of an "Art of (x) Character" video, would it be possible if we could donate for videos like "Art of Spacing/Zoning" "Art of Neutral" or "Art of Decision Making" ?

[@questioneverything680]

SauceMaster Hi, I know I’m late, but if you haven’t watched, he did a 4 part “art of smash” series that might help you

[@conciente7]

Thank you izaw, i've been waiting for this since forever! i thought you wouldnt want to make it since link and toon link are "almost" the same and you prefer link over tink, so i was really surprised by this

[@niclasa3135]

I'm a Samus main, but after seeing this video, I really consider changing. I really love how you use the projectiles. Great video, and unrealistic high quality as always.

[@_nexus5943]

Thank you so much Izaw!!!! As a Toon Link main, I love the talent you showed. Also, I've been looking for a reasonable auto-cancel set-up. Full hop ul air fast fall. Thanks a lot for this great advice and I will use this in the future. See you!!! 👌

[@JuanCMelo]

thank you so much IzAm,

[@jde5272]

OH BOY! *Grabs popcorn*

[@jde5272]

Lonks & Tun Lonks unite!

[@DmodGmodLetsPlays]

Good work as always, seriously the work that goes into me still amazes me after seeing all of these and it only gets better! (That little Boss Toon Link was too cute)

[@ninjustice5574]

Just recently, ever since I did the Iron Man Challenge with a Smash partner/friend of mine, I discovered a character that I was surprisingly good at (especially for never touching him before in my entire Smash life). That character was Toon Link. In fact, I lasted so long with Toon Link during the challenge that I decided to main him ever since. This video came in extremely handy, and I can't wait to use this newly acquired knowledge to my advantage, and beat my friends harder than ever at Smash. Thank you so much, Izaw!

[@infinitelyinspirit11]

YESS THANK YOU!!! I've been waiting so long! Look how cute toon link is in the thumbnail! :)

[@94lolface]

As a filthy casual, I use him almost exclusively as a close combat fighter ...I'm aware that it is not the correct way to use him, but I haven't really bothered on playing the game seriously (learning advanced techs and stuss like that) so far This might change with Ultimate though, depending how much time I spend actually learning them I guess... :/ I'm amazed at how well skilled peopled can play the game and I feel like this would be a game I'd be ready to spend the time learning all that stuff. :]

[@nixuniverse5240]

I would just like to say that I as a competitive smasher, REALLY, appreciate the amount of effort you put into to helping the smash community get better at our skills. Your work ethic is amazing as I could not tell you how much I've learned, & how many times my jaw dropped to the ground while watching this video. Izaw, you are an amazing person & a great smasher with unfathomable amounts of talent & skill. As a fellow smasher & Zelda main (who by the way found your "Art of Zelda" video very helpful, please never stop making content & hopefully we will be able to have a few matches together one day. P.S - Your Signature Toon Link Skin Is Adorable !

[@shawnmalia9765]

In guessing Toon link isn't the link in the description below...

[@jscsytodnickeli896]

Which one...? XD

[@HeyNimbus]

*OMG. How did you just get this **2:21** or **2:41** skin?*

[@tm0661]

Cusquenha mods bro.

[@zacharyjohnson9562]

Mods. Gotta love em.

[@GreenTense]

Thank you so much Izaw, I love my main but I don't like how much he struggles in this game...... I guess this will help me improve... #TheWindWakingWarrior

[@DJao_]

Izaw I must say, you always pick amazing music for these art of videos

[@cooldude6269]

I don't care if I didn't even want a Toon Link video, there's a new Art Of vid and that's simply amazing.

[@groudon2006]

Thank you dude, I've been looking forward to this

[@ogot344]

Who else only watches to support Izaw and admire his well done videos?

[@chazn5949]

"Alright guys, I'm changing mains FOR GOOD this time." -Many people watching this after seeing the other "Art of" videos

[@HalloAnno]

Art of Down Air every time you're in the air

[@benperiod]

been playing toon link for a while and it's really great to see an in depth explanation of him :)

[@Hennesseyautoreviews]

Thank you for creating this. Definitely helps with competitive matches ⚒️

[@bruinsgirl3398]

Your Zelda vid has helped both me and my BF improve on Zelda so much! Now I get to work on Toon Link AND Link, characters I enjoy using (and I plan on using Link as a secondary). Can't donate since I'm trying to save money but I will continue to watch your videos regardless!!!

[@scarery-p55]

thank you so much! I was actually considering picking up a new character and this settles it as toon link!

[@linkbigshaq4515]

OMG I still remember when I played Wind Waker, thank you so much! This video helped me a lot

[@KingExalted]

Excellent choice of music in this. I play Toon Link's much stronger and older counterpart, but this was great nevertheless! And that flooding tower from wind waker looks awesome!

[@Nitro_Rock]

I can't resist playing whatever character has been in an art of vid.XD

[@ShinyMemlek]

I would also add, that close-range zair at higher procents Can launch the opponent into a Low Angle - forcinge a hard Tech Situation and is perfect for locking the opponent. I usually read a shield drop and shorthop>into the opponent. After that i Lock with bow>Short hop to the opponent while getting a bomb>footstool>throw the bomb downwards>up-air. And that's a pretty "easy" way to kill, because the opponent (in my cases) never expected to get launched

[@elijahdorce3183]

Well that almost completes the Legend of Zelda characters. Sheik's last.

[@blardarius]

that outset island link skin is cool and all but it really bothers me that he has the mirror shield but still only has the Hero's sword, kind of like how the vanilla skin has the fully charged master sword but not the Mirror shield, I'm just tryna get a skin of TL that actually makes sense in reference to his equipment :[

[@Hisho30]

FINALLY!!! I always wanted to know how to play Toon Link more properly since I main him. Thanks Izaw!

[@josehosev9142]

fun fact: nobody has watched the full video at this moment :v

[@TheNintendoMen129]

Izaw probably has

[@Biggg_Cee]

jGohan true

[@Solar7cc]

jGohan Izaw watched the full video before anyone

[@Troy-ry5pp]

16 minutes in

[@Vecderg]

2x speed

[@WiiLord95]

Hey, Izaw. Could you do a video in which you demonstrate optimal shield break punishes for all characters?

[@bconroy328]

Fast, light, heavy hitter, weak... So he is basically scout from tf2

[@Lennoxssb]

Jesus, every time Izaw slams out an "art of X" video I immediately want to turn on my Wii U and practice the character. Great work once again!

[@GreenTense]

let me guess, you don't have a main?

[@Lennoxssb]

I do have a main (Marthcina), I just enjoy playing the whole roster

[@thegourmetracist1389]

Thank you so much! I learned some things! I'll be returning to my boy, now as a Link and Toon main!

[@EtheRenard]

Does the "Air Smash throw" (like you throw object immediately after grabbing them) work without C-stick (on 3DS), if you press L + fast left stick after air dodge ? By the way, thank you for this! I've improved so much with Zelda, thanks to you, and now, it's my main's turn! Thank you very much!

[@EtheRenard]

Also, what do you mean, when you write "frame 15 -17" for example?

[@benjaminshields9421]

EtherFoxMIDI Yes. Shield then throw with the attack button. I do it that way since I don't like cstick

[@benperiod]

that's how long the hitbox stays open for, eg up air has a really wide hitbox time frame, where as jab one does not

[@IamSalvatore]

JEEZ, these are some beautiful stages and costumes people custom made...

[@animatorbrian_notyet]

I'm still fascinated that there's an actual Izaw costume for Toonlink!

[@sirstephington8869]

One of my favorite combos is close up z-air to perfect pivot u-tilt to up air kill confirm at specific percents. Doesn't always work on floaties.

[@clutchedbyanangel]

I JUST picked up TL for the first time since Brawl the other day. Couldn't have timed this better.

[@Raftaf13]

These "Art of X" videos make every character look so smooth ! I like it

[@frankyjoy222]

what's the map at 20:50 ? it looks so fun I want it. Looks like a custom that I can download online somewhere?

[@Illusionffs]

The stage for the last part of the video (ending of Wind Waker stage) is beautiful and seriously looks official.

[@BigBossMan538]

Your dedication to displaying a character's capabilities impresses me so much.

[@Rene-wl8cl]

(message from France) Thanks so much, Isaw. Now my little brother won't harass me about teaching him how to play Toon Link anymore :)

[@MusicalRiolu]

BOMB THROWING SIMULATOR

[@regginator9194]

My bro Izaw I watched you when I was like 11 or 12 and now I'm 15 lol it's great to know you are still going strong!

[@ThundagaT2]

I sometimes use spin attack after an up tilt string for a combo finisher. Just to switch things up

[@spicy_shumai]

They waited after I dropped him to release this video. Great.

[@perox9695]

gotta remember to never d-air directly above an opponent whos hanging off a ledge... lost a few stocks doing this.

[@FlavioThepianist]

Finally my main gets a video!!!! Thank you my dude!

[@fwemp]

How many painful hours of work does it take for Izaw to finish the art of every character? The world may never know.

[@saika1615]

YOOOO!!! ANOTHER SURPRISE "Art of"?!?! You're amazing, Izaw... *cries tears of joy"....

[@pspaghetti6916]

Your editing is superb!

[@monikamiller9588]

Prepare for the Toon Link swarm to begin.

[@blizzard_no723]

19:26 Oh man. He said, "wainge." Lol

[@owengonians]

Toon Link aka every kid's main character who says they play competitively

[@gilbertoguerrero2379]

THE IZAW TOON LINK ALT IS SOOOOOO CUUUUUTE lol wut?

[@SexyPants]

I'd like to bring up that after doing a SH FAir, it was brought up that Tink can DJ or DAir. However, it was not brought up that Toon Link can also NAir. While the hitbox will not come out, there will be less lag than if FAir were to be done raw.

[@SkaillerLPE]

Sexy Pants Late as hell, but that was actually mentioned.

[@lududelubin3011]

Boomerang's stun is something else

[@paragonoftorna2548]

Toon Link is my main, so when I saw this video in my recommended, I flipped my shit

[@BananaFlikFlak]

Yay finally my early brawl days main gets his own video ^^

[@immortalnub]

Still on smash bros brawl, but holy shit... the depth you go into these characters.

[@jettli728]

Thanks a million for these videos Izaw. They actually make me a better smash player.

[@mikaeltronic7681]

8:06 BRUH I THOUGHT THATS THE NOMB WAS THE PIKIM BRUUUU SO IM AMD YOU GRAB TEH BOMB BRUU.

[@TeagueClark]

Even if you don't play the character, watching these guides really helps me with these matchups.

[@MegaConrad]

My main since Brawl :D so psyched that I get to play him AND Young Link in Ultimate

[@okardmccready611]

Whats the waterfall stage at 20:48

[@TheYambino]

Is glide tossing not very useful for Toonlink? Never was mentioned so just curious

[@mikaeltronic7681]

11:15 WOWWW AGW DAYUMM

[@startofive4365]

Loved this video. Here's hoping for an Art of Toon Link for Ultimate.

[@tafu4049]

You forgot to mention (or probably you didnt know), a way to kill someone is doing an up b when they are close to blast zone, the last hit will definitely kill. Its just a fancy way to finish off, you can use other method

[@mikaeltronic7681]

2:23 OHHW WO SO THATS A TURNAOEUND special wow YK.

[@nathanschoeder9902]

Great video IZaw! I'm gonna pick up Toon Link now!

[@mthornit]

LOL I SEARCHED UP ART OF TOON LINK AN HOUR BEFORE THIS WAS UPLOADED THANK YOU IZAW

[@exantan9050]

2:22 kirby dodged that full charged arrow lol

[@AnthonyJohnson-zk7cc]

Thank yu for helping me understand my main some more!

[@George-ut5ef]

Am I the only one who noticed how similar the script is to art of link? Amazing work, you've done it again, IzAw!

[@MoobsVGM]

There are many similarities between their mechanics, so there is a decent amount of crossover. Can't just tell Toon Link's to "Watch Art of Link" after all, it's a disservice.

[@George-ut5ef]

definitely

[@blueheart9873]

Does Zan play for glory cause that Bayonetta really looked like my playstyle at 11:18

[@Dirkoooooo]

Toon links up air lasts longer than an air dodge and it trades with clouds dair so its a great option.
