'''Link''' is | '''Link''' is a crossover character from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' series, where he is the main protagonist, usually having to protect [[zeldawiki:Hyrule|Hyrule]] from forces of evil, especially his arch-nemesis, [[zeldawiki:Ganon|Ganon]]. Link in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] has often made cameo appearances and appears in some [[microgame]]s of the [[WarioWare (series)|''WarioWare'' series]]. | ||

Link's first appearance in the ''Super Mario'' franchise is the coloring game ''[[Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up]]''.

====''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest''==== | |||
[[File:HeroesYoshi.png|thumb|left|Link comes in third place as one of Cranky's Video Game Heroes]] | |||
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest]]'', Link is by default ranked third on a podium at [[Cranky's Video Game Heroes]], with [[Mario]] coming in first and [[Yoshi]] second. He can be removed from the podium by collecting nineteen [[DK Coin]]s, which replaces him with [[Diddy Kong]]. | |||
In the [[Donkey Kong Country 2 (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]], Link and Yoshi's positions on the leaderboard are swapped. Additionally, Link has obtained 50 DK Coins in total, meaning that Diddy can only shift Link down to third place, therefore removing Yoshi from the podium. | |||
====''Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!''==== | |||
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'', if the Kongs ask [[Bazaar]] who owns [[Kastle Kaos|the castle]] in the [[Northern Kremisphere]], Bazaar tells a short story of when Link visited his [[Bazaar's General Store|General Store]] the week before. Link also asked Bazaar for information regarding the castle even though he had insufficient [[bear coin]]s, but Bazaar thought him nice enough that he accepted a payment of 500 [[rupee]]s instead. After being told the information, Link left, grumbling about the seashells being the wrong shape (a nod to the [[zeldawiki:Secret Seashell|Secret Seashell]] sidequest in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening]]''). This dialogue was removed in the Game Boy Advance version, and Bazaar instead discusses what he personally saw at Kastle Kaos. | |||
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''=== | |||
[[File:Link SMRPG screenshot.png|thumb|Link sleeping at the [[Rose Town]] [[Inn]] in ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''.]] | |||
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]], Link can be found resting at the [[Rose Town]] Inn. He does not awaken when spoken to (likely a nod to Link's constant portrayal as a silent protagonist and the recurring trait of him being asleep at the beginning of games), and a ''The Legend of Zelda'' melody for when a secret is uncovered plays instead. | |||
In the remake, talking to Link adds "The Slumbering Hero" entry to the [[Scrapbook (Super Mario RPG for Nintendo Switch)|Scrapbook]]. Curiously, his model [https://youtube.com/shorts/Uq4FRZRKbdc depicts] his sleeves to be more red in color than the standard brown, as depicted in the non-canonical ''Zelda'' CD-i games. | |||
{{br}} | |||
===''Donkey Kong Land 2''=== | |||
Just like in ''Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy's Kong Quest'', Link appears in Cranky's Video Game Heroes in the ending for ''[[Donkey Kong Land 2]]'', where he has the same number of DK Coins collected as before. | |||
===''Mario Golf'' series=== | |||
In ''[[Mario Golf (Nintendo 64)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Nintendo 64]] and ''[[Mario Golf (Game Boy Color)|Mario Golf]]'' for the [[Game Boy Color]], Link's name appears on the scorechart. | |||
===''Mario Artist: Paint Studio''=== | |||
His artwork from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'' appears as a stamp in ''[[Mario Artist: Paint Studio]]''. This includes both his [[Young Link|young]] and adult form, as well as his adult form riding [[zeldawiki:Epona|Epona]]. | |||
===''Game & Watch Gallery 4''=== | |||
In ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]'', Link appears in the ''Zelda'' Game & Watch game, which is playable in the [[Museum]] after unlocking enough stars. | |||
===''WarioWare'' series=== | |||
Link appears in several ''[[WarioWare (series)|WarioWare]]'' games. He usually is a playable character in [[9-Volt]]'s and [[18-Volt]]'s [[microgame]]s. | |||
[[File:Zelda Microgame.png|thumb|Link in The Legend of Zelda microgame]] | |||
In ''[[WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!]]'', Link appears in the [[The Legend of Zelda (WarioWare, Inc.: Mega Microgame$!)|Legend of Zelda]] microgame, based on the original ''The Legend of Zelda'' game, in which the player must guide Link into a cave. | |||
In ''[[WarioWare: Twisted!]]'', Link appears in another microgame also titled [[The Legend of Zelda (WarioWare: Twisted!)|The Legend of Zelda]], once again based on the original game. The object is to rotate the handheld to deflect projectiles by red [[Octorok]]s with the shield. | |||
In ''[[WarioWare: Smooth Moves]]'', three incarnations of Link appear. In the [[Ocarina of Time]] microgame, [[Young Link]] must draw his sword from its pedestal. This turns him into Adult Link on Level 1, old Link (with a gray beard) on Level 2, and a [[Cucco]] on Level 3. In addition, in the microgame [[The Wind Waker]], [[Toon Link]] must glide over the sea to a safe landing point with the [[zeldawiki:Deku Leaf|Deku Leaf]]. Finally, in the microgame [[Opening Night]], his 8-bit sprite from the original game can be seen playing the violin with the rest of the characters in the orchestra. | |||
In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y.]]'', Link is the main character in the [[Zelda (microgame)|Zelda]] microgame, appearing in his ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass|The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass]]'' incarnation. The object is to defeat [[zeldawiki:Chuchu|Chuchu]]s with the sword by tapping them. | |||
In ''[[WarioWare: D.I.Y. Showcase]]'', Link is in the [[Zelda 2]] microgame, based on ''[[zeldawiki:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', in which Link must deflect a [[zeldawiki:Goriya|Goriya]]'s boomerangs with the shield. | |||
In ''[[WarioWare Gold]]'', some of the previous microgames in which Link appears return, specifically The Legend of Zelda from ''Mega Microgame$!'', and Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker, both from ''Smooth Moves''. In addition to those, a new microgame called [[Phantom Hourglass]] appears, which is also based on ''The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass''. The object is to hit a switch with Link's boomerang by tracing a line for it to follow. | |||
In ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'', Link is seen in a microgame titled [[The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild]], which is based on the [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild|''The Legend of Zelda'' game]] of the same name. | |||
In ''[[WarioWare: Move It!]]'', Young Link appears in the microgame [[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D]]. He is seen chasing a Cucco, which is controlled by the player and must run away from Link without getting caught by him. | |||

===''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series=== | |||
====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''==== | |||
In ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and its [[Nintendo Switch]] port, ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]'', before the second [[Green Star]] in {{world|star2|1}}, [[Rainbow Run (level)|Rainbow Run]], there is a secret area where if the playable characters walk on all the panels, an 8-bit image of Link, which is an enlargement of one of his ''The Legend of Zelda'' sprites, is uncovered. After doing so, an arrangement of the main theme of ''The Legend of Zelda'' starts to play until the characters leave the area. | |||
====''Super Mario Maker''==== | |||
Link appears as a [[Mystery Mushroom]] [[Costume Mario|costume]] in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]''. Link, [[Toon Link]], and Wolf Link's costumes can be unlocked by scanning their respective [[amiibo]], or randomly by completing the 100 Mario Challenge. The Link Costume is based on his sprites from ''The Legend of Zelda''. The Wolf Link Costume also includes [[Midna]] riding on top of Wolf Link. | |||
A special [[List of official Super Mario Maker courses|Event Course]] titled "[[Tri Force Heroes]]" allows the player to play as, and unlock, a special Costume Mario called Totem Link, based off of ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes|The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes]]''. As Totem Link, players play as all three Links from the game (red, blue, and green), stacked up on top of each other. Additionally, there is also an Event Course titled "[[Twilight Princess HD]]", which is based off ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD]]'', where players can unlock Wolf Link. | |||

In version 2.0 of ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', the player transforms into Link upon collecting the [[Master Sword]] power-up. His appearance is based on his sprite from the original ''The Legend of Zelda'', albeit with the shield redesigned to be based on the Hylian Shield. While in this form, Link can attack enemies with his sword, block projectiles with his shield, perform a [[zeldawiki:Dash Attack|Dash Attack]] to charge through enemies, perform a [[zeldawiki:Down Thrust|Down Thrust]] to attack enemies from above, aim and fire an arrow in three directions to obtain distant items, and use a bomb to destroy breakable blocks. Link can also drop bombs beneath him while riding a [[Koopa Clown Car]]. In multiplayer, if all four players obtain a Master Sword, they become the green, red, blue, and purple [[zeldawiki:Links|Link]]s from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords|The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords]]''. | |||
While wearing a [[Goomba's Shoe]], Link cannot block [[Bullet Bill]]s. However, he can still use the shield whilst underwater. | |||
===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''=== | |||
[[File:MK8 Link Joins The Race.jpg|thumb|upright=1.1|left|Link driving a [[Standard Kart]] on [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]] in ''Mario Kart 8'']] | |||
In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', Link appears as a downloadable playable character in the [[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8|''The Legend of Zelda'' × ''Mario Kart 8'']] downloadable content pack. This marks his first playable appearance of any kind in the ''Super Mario'' franchise. Link is one of the lighter heavyweight racers, befitting his much taller size, and he shares his stats with [[Rosalina]], [[Donkey Kong]], [[Waluigi]], and [[Roy Koopa|Roy]]. Although this Link is the Hero of the Skies from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]'', his proportions have been altered slightly to fit the ''Super Mario'' franchise aesthetic: he has a slightly larger head and eyes, and is left-handed as opposed to right-handed like in ''The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword''. | |||
The [[Master Cycle]], a [[bike]] based on Link's [[Master Sword]] and his horse [[zeldawiki:Epona|Epona]], appears as one of four additional vehicle bodies, along with a ''The Legend of Zelda''-themed set of [[tire]]s, the [[Triforce Tires]], and a ''The Legend of Zelda''-themed [[glider]], the [[Hylian Kite]]. A ''The Legend of Zelda''-themed course called [[Hyrule Circuit]] also appears as part of the [[Triforce Cup]]. His kart symbol is the [[zeldawiki:Royal Crest|Royal Crest]]. During his tricks, he wields the Master Sword and shows off the Triforce. | |||
[[File:Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Art - Link.png|thumb|upright=1.1|Artwork of Link on the Master Cycle holding a [[boomerang]] from ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'']] | |||
Link reappears in the [[Nintendo Switch]] game ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', available as part of the base game. He is available from the start, and is still among the lightest heavyweight characters, sharing his statistics with Rosalina, [[King Boo]], and [[Pauline]]. The game's July 2018 update also added the Hero of the Wild from ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'', alongside the [[Master Cycle Zero]], [[Ancient Tires]], and [[Paraglider (The Legend of Zelda)|Paraglider]] parts. Upon being added, the Hero of the Wild became the default Link, while the Hero of the Skies was relegated to being an alternate character. Like the Hero of the Skies, the Hero of the Wild is left-handed despite being right-handed in his respective game; however, they also share the same voice actor. | |||
Despite sharing some of the same part colors for items that change, the two Links have some noticeable differences. In regard to the Hero of the Wild, his kart symbol is the [[zeldawiki:Crest of the Sheikah|Crest of the Sheikah]] as it appears on the [[zeldawiki:Sheikah Slate|Sheikah Slate]] instead of the [[zeldawiki:Royal Crest|Royal Crest]], and he uses a [[zeldawiki:Guardian Sword++|Guardian Sword++]] instead of the Master Sword when performing tricks. The two variants have different horn sounds, which plays when pressing {{button|switch|l}} without any items; Link's horn is based on a sound from [[zeldawiki:Hyrule Warriors|Hyrule Warriors]] and Champion's Tunic Link's horn is based on the [[zeldawiki:Sheikah Slate|Sheikah Slate]].

Retrieved July 13, 2023. ([http://archive.today/k4S6G Archived] July 13, 2023, 18:44:57 UTC via archive.today.)</ref> due to being two distinct incarnations of Link, the Hero of the Skies could also appear in a race if Hero of the Wild had already been selected and vice versa, while both could appear in a race if neither had been selected as well. Additionally, as CPUs, the vehicle combinations they use are almost completely different, with the only exception being the [[Standard Kart]], [[Standard (tire)|Standard]] tires, and [[Super Glider]] combination that is shared with most CPUs. | |||
===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''=== | |||
In ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', on the map in the [[Super Mario Bros. Plumbing]] commercial, a road in Queens named "Link Street" is shown, which is a reference to Link. | |||

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'', Link was [[List of Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga pre-release and unused content#Unused Cameos|meant to appear]] at [[Starbeans Cafe]] along with other non-''Mario'' character cameos. He would have given Mario and Luigi the Triforce. In the final game, all of the Nintendo cameos are replaced with [[Professor E. Gadd]], and the Triforce is replaced with the [[Great Force]]. | |||
====''Super Mario Odyssey''==== | |||

Link was the first character to be announced for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Unlike in previous installments, this Link is the "Hero of Twilight", the descendant of the Hero of Time and the protagonist of ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''. This Link's moveset also references ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'' in a number of ways. The bow (now called "Hero's Bow") and bombs have been aesthetically updated to match their ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'' designs, while the boomerang has been replaced with the [[#Gale Boomerang|Gale Boomerang]], which generates a whirlwind that can drag in opponents as it returns. The Hookshot has also been replaced with the [[zeldawiki:Clawshot|Clawshot]] from ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'', which, when used offstage, can home in on edges and grab them unlike the Hookshot; however, it is now a tether recovery, as opposed to a wall grapple. Dark Link also appears in the game, both as one of Link's alternative colors and as an opponent in an Event Match.
