** You may cite that they accidentally said Lucario debuted on the GBA. No such outcry or reaction or correction here. Even if Four Swords came out a few weeks or months or whatever before Wind Waker, this isn\\\'t Four Swords Link. It\\\'s Wind Waker Link. Besides the Toon artstyle debuted in the Wind Waker reveal trailer in 2001 (where everyone was shocked because it didn\\\'t look like the Space World 2000 video). No one was shocked about the Four Swords design because it had already been seen and heavily marketed in the Wind Waker.

**\\\'\\\'Toon Link, like most of the \\\"Links\\\", is a different Link to that of Twilight Princess. Toon Link refers to the character from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker and The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. However, the art style of Toon Link has been used for other Links in The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords, The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures, The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, and The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks.\\\'\\\'

*Trophy Description from Brawl: http://www.ssbwiki.com/Toon_link#Trophy_Info

**\\\'\\\'Link as he appeared in The Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, with big eyes and an expressive face. He lived peacefully on Outset Island until a bird captured his little sister, and he came to her rescue. In The Wind Waker, he had to crawl, press up to walls, and the like. His green clothes were worn on his 12th birthday and are the lucky outfit of the hero of legend.\\\'\\\'

*Trophy Description from 4: http://www.ssbwiki.com/Toon_link#Super_Smash_Bros._for_Nintendo_3DS_trophy_descriptions

**\\\'\\\'This cartoonish version of Link is how he appeared in The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker and a few other titles.\\\'\\\'

*Trophy Box Grouping in 4: http://www.ssbwiki.com/Trophy_Box - Next to Zelda (Wind Waker) and Ganondorf (Wind Waker)

*Separate Trophy for Spirit Tracks Toon Link in 3DS (likewise there is a seperate trophy for Ocarina Adult Link since the default is Twilight Princess) http://www.ssbwiki.com/List_of_SSB4_trophies_(The_Legend_of_Zelda_series)#3DS_Version


Also unlike the Twilight Princess Default Link who is in many ways a composite character (like having Navi appear in a taunt) all of Toon Link\\\'s gear and animations are based on The Wind Waker. Even if the \\\'\\\'Wind Waker and a few other games\\\'\\\' may imply the 6 or so other Toon Link\\\'s that arent The Hero of Winds are technically represented, (and that both TP Link and WW Link cause Alfonzo to appear on the train stage) as a composite character, everything else about this link is The Hero of Winds.
