When it comes to Link in SSB I feel hes getting pretty short changed on his attacks and there effectiveness, most notably in the SSB Brawl. These are some things I suggest change in order to make Link a tougher opponent in the next SSB installmenty, comment as you see fit:
Improve the hookshot: Links grab move,the hookshot, was decent in SSB but became pretty bad in Melee and Brawl (barely covering any distance), if the shot went farther and the animation was restored to its SSB incarnation, this would be good again.
Change the damage of the spin slash: Links Up+B Spin Slash was a surefire KO move in SSB and Melee, but it was nerfed into a multi hit attack in Brawl. In the next SSB this move has to be restored to its Melee-based power and be a single hard hit.
Normal Boomerang: In SSB Brawl Link had the wind boomerang which was fairly awkward while his "double" Toon Link had the normal boomerang. Links boomerang needs to be a regular ranged attack and has to be thrown further in the next SSB.
Slightly faster: Link hasn't always been the quickest character in SSB (like Sonic or Fox), but his movement speed should be slightly improved back up to his speed in Melee.
No more Link "doubles": There was Young Link in Melee and Toon Link in Brawl. Seems in the last two SSB games the Legend of Zelda roster always has another Link incarnation that is better then the original. As my last focus of this topic, I feel the SSB creators have to ditch the extra Link character and focus more on improving the original. Doing this would improve Link's tier position from last to 5th-15th (since characters like Diddy Kong and Meta Knight are completely overpowered).
