Link's Moves - History Behind Super Smash Bros. Melee

In this video I show where I believe some of Link's moves in Super Smash Bros. Melee have been derived from. I show the original and then how it was translated into SSBM. I put text in some parts of the video to point out the things that aren't blatantly obvious. For the SSBM part, I show a normal view and then a close-up. I acquired the NES and SNES videos from emulators and the N64 and SSBM video with my capture device. Some of the Ocarina of Time video was captured from VHS since I recorded the game as I played through it.

The down air stab and the up air stab are both from the Adventures of Link (aka Zelda 2 for NES). They are advanced moves he learns later on.

Link's whole moveset is based off of ocarina of time and zelda 2

@Kangarooboy11 That would explain why it is in the N64 version.

@Kangarooboy11 how when the original version of the game also did the same almost a decade before twiight princess?
