When you stack the "mature" Link aganst his cartoon counterpart in Smash Bros, Toon Link is clearly the superior of the two.
I think this is just the next chapter of Nintendo learning their lesson in the Zelda series and showing it's fans which version they prefer. While some people want the flash of the older Link, it's Toon Link that brings the substance.
The first step was the reemergence of the WindWaker style on the DS that was met with overwhelming praise not only from the industry but from the fans as well. It featured Toon Link and solidified his position as a key part of the Nintendo family.
Now here's Smash Bros and the two Links go head to head. While "mature" Link isn't bad he just can't hold a candle to his Toon version. Toon Link is faster then "mature" Link in every possible way which not only let's him evade and approach faster but he can also get off more attacks in the same amount of time then "mature" Link can.
"Mature" Link isn't that powerful and Toon Link doesn't trump him there but Toon Link DOES have stronger Smash attacks. Toon Link's lighter weight is compensated by his quickness and agility. "Mature" Link has some more weight on his side but doesn't have that balance on the other end.
I think Toon Link being the superior of the fighters is a way for the devs to lay claim as to who they see as the REAL Link. Which is welcome to see.
Does anyone else notice this between the two Links?
