Link

Texture: Magic Armor

The Magic Armor has made several appearances throughout the Legend of Zelda series, but this hack brings it into the Brawl universe, Twilight Princess style!


The Magic Armor makes an appearance!

Though it doesn't save Link from damage by taking his money, it still looks pretty cool to see it in battle.


"I don't need Rupee protection anyway!"

Moveset: Whimsical Sword

The first new moveset to be revealed, the Whimsical Sword not only gives the Master Sword some new aesthetic effects, but it gives Link new attacks as well!


A nice smash attack!


The up smash looks fancy!

<New Move - Spin Combo>


He does a few quick swings with his sword...

and then...


Unleashes a lightning fast Spin Attack!

This move, though usable in any close encounter, replaces Link's normal side special move, the Gale Boomerang.

<New Move - Thunder Crash>


Wow! His sword generates lightning?!

This move replaces Link's bombs, but allows you to fiercely plummet into unsuspecting foes below you. It does no knockback, but it delivers a stunning effect similar to those of Zero Suit Samus.

<New Move - Light Force>


Light from the Triforce of Courage!

This move replaces the Spin Attack, but only on the ground. Light from Link's hand pulls enemies down from above him, working as an effective spike move when near a ledge.

Link also has several other attack changes with this moveset, including a new side special move in the air, the Tornado Thrust, used for horizontal recovery. Though this moveset doesn't increase the overall power of Link's attacks, it does provide him with a better balanced set of attacks, and the whimsical motion blur to match.
