“Link” – Go with the Flow

Recommended Videos

The “Link” is a very common player archetype and most of us fall into this category to varying degrees, at least initially. The “Link” is in it for the love of the game. They play Smash Brothers to relax and unwind and to have fun with their friends. They don’t take the game or their ability too seriously and are more open to experimentation with wild and wacky rule sets.

Much like Link himself, the “Link” is adaptable. They probably don’t have a character they main, and will often time randomly select their character based on a whim, or fighters who they think are funny or crazy. As at home playing timed matches as they are with items set to high, they like their matches to be unpredictable.

The “Link” is also the most likely to play single player content and will have a blast with World of Light, reveling in its fresh takes on classic match ups. They have also probably, at some point, fired up a 99 stock game just to see how far they could take it.

While generally inoffensive and a pleasure to play with, the “Link” is usually the cause of a lot of frustration for some of the more extreme player archetypes.
