Young Link

Young Link (子供リンク, Kodomo Rinku, literally "Child Link") is the Link who stars in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. He is an independent entity from the default Link for Hyrule Warriors.

Like his adult counterpart, the boy's thoughts are verbalized by Proxi.

Personality
Young Link is a quiet, yet determined ten year old boy. He's not one to back away from a challenge, facing any form of adversity head on with unwavering resolve. As the Hero of Time, he's well experienced in combat, having saved both Hyrule and Termina from various disasters.

But despite all the hardships and struggles he's experienced, he is still a happy youth of ten years. He smiles excitedly and cheers upon completing a powerful attack, or acomplishing missions. Despite the war going on around him, he always finds time to play around, and will even giggle while playing around with his keaton mask during battle.

Mask

 * X: Plays the Ocarina of Time to replenish the magic meter while depleting the special gauge. One full special bar will fill 1/3 of Young Link's magic meter. All three special bars can fill his magic meter entirely. If pressed when the magic bar is full, Young Link will put on the Keaton Mask and let out a yell, before giggling and removing the mask.
 * Y, X: Performs a jumping vertical slash that knocks enemies into the air. If players press Y while in the air, he will perform a spinning vertical slash while descending towards the ground repeatedly attacking enemies directly near him. If players press X while in the air, he will dive downward and slam his sword into the ground, causing an explosion of energy to knock back surrounding enemies.
 * Y, Y, X: Pulls sword back, then swings it horizontally, sending an energy wave out to attack enemies directly in front of him.
 * Y, Y, Y, X: Slams his sword into the ground, causing an explosion of energy to knock back surrounding enemies.
 * Y, Y, Y, Y, X: Performs a powerful upwards slash to knock enemies into the air, and then performs a powerful spin attack to knock back all surrounding enemies.
 * Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, X: Young Link dashes around the ground, performing a series of fast but powerful slashes, while creating a Tri-force sigil on the ground.
 * Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y: Performs a series of powerful repeated slashes and thrust attacks, before ending his combo string with a front flip while performing a powerful vertical slash downwards during the fall of the flip, and slamming the blade into the ground to knock enemies into the air, then performing a powerful thrusting attack to knock enemies away.


 * A: Young Link puts on the Fierce Deity's Mask and performs a series of powerful spin attacks knocking enemies away.


 * Focus Spirit + A: The Skull Kid appears, followed by the Moon. Fierce Deity Link then performs a powerful vertical downwards slash attack, splitting the moon in two down the middle. The two pieces then explode into a rainbow of colors.
 * Focus Spirit Finisher: Performs a series of powerful spin attacks, while creating a dome of dark energy around him, to knock back enemies.


 * Weak Point Smash: Young Link puts on the Fierce Deity's Mask and performs a series of powerful slash attacks, going from back and forth horizontal slashes, to up and down vertical slashes. Ends the attack with a powerful horizontal slash that sends the enemy flying back.


 * Forward Dodge + Y: Performs a spinning vertical slash while descending towards the ground repeatedly attacking enemies directly near him.
 * Forward Dodge + X: Dives downward and slam his sword into the ground, causing an explosion of energy to knock back surrounding enemies.


 * Fierce Deity Variation: When using his Focus spirit, Young Link temporarily transforms into Fierce Deity Link. When in this form his attack speed and attack range increases. All of his slash attacks will start to generate multiple energy slashes. This makes him great for dealing with huge crowds, and wiping out large numbers of enemies at a time. The extra bursts of energy will not appear during Link's few stabbing attacks though, only his slash attacks.

Fighting Style
Unlike his older counterpart, Young Link is a two-handed swordsman who can temporarily transform using the Fierce Deity Mask, gaining high levels of power and weapon reach for short periods of time. And Despite his small size, young Link is pretty decent at taking out huge groups of enemies, due to how quickly he is able to attack.

It is still possible for players to use his C1 while in his Focus spirit form, so if the player generates his Special Bar from Tri-force shard pick ups, or from attacking enemies, players can transfer this to his Magic Bar. This greatly enhances the duration of Young Links Focus Spirit, allowing players to keep it indefinitely if players can manage to generate enough special Bar in time.
