[[File:Link Smash.jpg|thumb|left|Link as he appears in the game]]
'''{{SSBB|-}}''' is a fighting game released for the [[Wii]]. It is a sequel to the [[Nintendo GameCube]] game {{SSBM}}. It features many {{TLoZ|Series|-}} characters, stages and items, alongside those of other popular [[Nintendo]] series.
''' ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'' ''' is the sequel to ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. Several characters return from the previous Smash Bros. games, and many new characters are added. The game features an online [[multiplayer]] and has a deep single player option called ''The Subspace Emissary''. Super Smash Bros. Brawl was released in North America on March 9, 2008 and June 27, 2008 in Europe.
 
==Characters from ''The Legend of Zelda''==
{{SSBB|-}} features [[Link]], [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]]/[[Sheik]], [[Ganondorf]], and [[Toon Link]] as playable characters. Link, Zelda and Ganondorf are based on their appearance in {{TP}}. Toon Link is based on his appearance in {{TWW}}.
 
===Link===
[[File:SSBB Link Icon.png|left]]
Link's moveset includes many attacks and items from ''The Legend of Zelda'' series, including the [[Master Sword]] for most of his smash attacks, the [[Spin Attack]] as his recovery, the [[Jump Thrust]] and [[Down Thrust]], the [[Clawshot]] as his grab, and the [[Bow]], [[Gale Boomerang]] and [[Bomb]]s as projectiles. Link can also crouch to use the [[Hylian Shield]] to protect himself from projectiles. One of his {{ssb|taunt}}s features the victory pose from {{TP|-}} after defeating a [[Boss]] or learning a new {{Term|TPHD|Hidden Skill|link}}. Another one features a [[Fairy]].
 
One of Link's alternative costumes resembles the [[Dark Interlopers]].
 
===Toon Link===
[[File:SSBB Toon Link Icon.png|left]]
Toon Link is faster than his {{ssb|clone}}, Link. He uses a normal Boomerang instead of the Gale Boomerang. One of his taunts features him playing the [[Wind Waker (Item)|Wind Waker]]. Some of his alternative costumes include a red, blue and purple tunic resembling the ones of Link's clones in {{FS}} and {{FSA}}.
 
===Zelda/Sheik===
[[File:SSBB Zelda Icon.png|left]]
[[File:SSBB Sheik Icon.png|left]]
Zelda's moveset includes the three Spells featured in {{OoT}}. [[Farore's Wind]] is used as her recovery, [[Din's Fire]] is a ranged attack, and [[Nayru's Love]] is used to reflect projectiles. Zelda can transform into Sheik at any time during a battle. Sheik's recovery resembles his vanishing move from {{OoT|-}}.
 
Both [[Final Smash]]es feature [[Zelda's Bow]] shooting [[Light Arrow]]s.
 
===Ganondorf===
[[File:SSBB Ganondorf Icon.png|left]]
Ganondorf is a heavier, stronger clone of Captain Falcon. He possesses the same moveset but with different names, such as the [[Gerudo]] Dragon. Ganondorf transforms into Beast Ganon for his Final Smash. One of his taunts features him drawing his sword, however it is not part of his moveset.
 
==Stages from ''The Legend of Zelda''==
===Pirate Ship===
[[File:SSBB Pirate Ship.jpg|thumb|left|150px|The Pirate Ship stage]]
Taken from {{TWW|-}}, the Pirate Ship features a scale version of [[Tetra's Ship]] floating across various locations from the [[Great Sea]]. These include a [[Lookout Platform]] that shoots bombs at the players, a [[cyclone]] that throws the ship into the sky, later coming back to the water, and a rocky island where the ship crashes, forcing the players to use the island as a new platform.
 
[[File:SSBB Bridge of Eldin.png|thumb|right|150px|The Bridge of Eldin stage]]
 
The [[King of Red Lions]] makes a cameo appearance floating behind the ship every once in a while, creating an extra platform.
 
===Bridge of Eldin===
Taken from {{TP|-}}, the [[Bridge of Eldin#Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Bridge of Eldin]] stage features a long flat surface. Every once in a while, [[King Bulblin]] riding [[Lord Bullbo]], followed in certain times by a [[Bulblin]], will appear crossing the stage to drop an [[Barrel#Explosive Barrel|explosive barrel]], opening a gap in the middle of the bridge. After a while, a {{Term|SSBB|Portal|link}} appears in the sky restoring the missing part of the bridge.
 
===Temple===
Coming back from {{SSBM|-}}, the [[Hyrule: Temple|Temple]] stage is based on the palaces from {{TAoL}}.
 
==Items from ''The Legend of Zelda''==
[[File:SSBB Heart Container Icon.png|left]]
[[Heart Container]]s appear as recovery {{ssb|item}}s, decreasing 100% of damage. The [[Bunny Hood]] improve players' agility, allowing them to jump higher and move faster. [[Deku Nut]]s stun any player caught in its blast. [[Tingle]], based on his {{TWW|-}} appearance, appears as an {{ssb|Assist Trophy}}. If Tingle is summoned, a random effect will occur, including the appearance of several {{ssb|Hammer}}s and {{ssb|Golden Hammer}}s, making all the players {{ssb|Tripping|trip}}, zooming the camera on the player who summoned it, activating the effects of the {{ssb|Superspicy Curry}} on all players, or simply flying away with no effect on the fight.
 
47 different {{TLoZ|-}}-related [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros.)#Super Smash Bros. Brawl|Trophies]] appear in the game. These include the playable characters, their Final Smashes, non-playable characters, items and enemies.
 
Additionally, 71 different {{TLoZ|-}}-related {{Plural|SSBB|Sticker|link}} can be collected. Some of them can only be used on characters from the ''Zelda'' universe.


In this game, [[Link]], along with other ''Zelda'' characters such as [[Princess Zelda|Zelda]] and [[Ganon]], appear in their ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|Twilight Princess]]'' incarnations, as opposed to the previous games where they appeared as depicted in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]''. [[Young Link]] was also replaced with the more modern [[Link#Toon Link|Toon Link]].
==Music from {{TLoZ|-}}==
{{clear|left}}
{{SSBB|-}} features 18 songs from {{TLoZ|Series}} played on the series stages. Some of these songs must be unlocked by collecting {{ssb|CD}}s.


== Gameplay modes ==
'''Pirate Ship'''
In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', there are several gameplay modes that can be played by one or more players.

=== Single Player ===
==Codec Conversations relating to ''The Legend of Zelda''==
==== Classic Mode ====
While fighting in the {{ssb|Shadow Moses Island}} stage, {{ssb|Snake}} can comunicate with various characters from the ''Metal Gear Solid'' series as part of his secret {{ssb|taunt}}. During these conversations, the character Snake is talking to gives a description of any of the fighters in the current fight.
Classic Mode is a simple gameplay mode in which the player chooses a character, then fights through several randomly selected matches (various pairings of characters and stages) back-to-back. Occasionally, a player will be matched with an ally that will help the player fight. All of this culminates in a battle against the boss, Master Hand, and, if certain criteria are met, Crazy Hand.


==== The Subspace Emissary ====
{{Collapsible
{{main|The Subspace Emissary}}
|header= Codec Conversations
The Subspace Emissary is the adventure mode present in ''Brawl''. It is largely different from ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee|Melee's]]'' adventure mode in that ''Brawl's'' has an actual storyline and purpose, as opposed to merely being a predetermined set of stages with no coherent flow.

{{Heading|level= 3|Link}}
<poem>
'''Snake''': Otacon, who's the guy with the sword?
'''Otacon''': That's Link. He's the hero of Hyrule. That blade in his hand is called the Master Sword, also known as the 'Blade of Evil's Bane'. He also has a whole arsenal of items at his disposal--bombs and arrows, a shield, a boomerang, and a Clawshot. He's a force to be reckoned with.
'''Snake''': Gear is only useful when it's used at the right time and place. Just lugging a ton of it around doesn't do you any good.
'''Otacon''': ...I, uh... I wouldn't be talking if I were you, Snake.
'''Snake''': What's that supposed to mean?
'''Otacon''': You tell me, Mr. Utility Belt.
'''Snake''': ...
</poem>
<hr>


==== Event Match ====
{{Heading|level= 3|Toon Link}}
Event Matches are matches with predetermined enemies and conditions (such as "defeat enemy x but don't hit enemy y"), and occasionally predetermined player-controlled characters. Several Event Matches unlock stages or characters upon completion, and can be played on three different difficulties. Up to two players can play an event match.
<poem>
'''Snake''': Mei Ling, who is this kid with the cat eyes...?
'''Mei Ling''': Oh, they call him Toon Link. Doesn't he look familiar?
'''Snake''': Yeah, he looks just like Link.
'''Mei Ling''': But you know there've been several people who've gone by that name, right? They all have certain things in common--green clothes, a sword, a shield... But they all came from different lands and lived in different eras. And yet the spirit of the hero of the Triforce is timeless. It's an essence that transcends history.
'''Snake''': I think I can relate to that.
'''Mei Ling''': Huh? What do you mean?
'''Snake''': There's been more than one 'Snake', too, you know...
</poem>

=== Multiplayer ===
{{Heading|level= 3|Zelda}}
The [[Multiplayer]] modes of ''Brawl'' are known to be random and chaotic. Up to four players can play at once, and any empty character slots can be replaced with computer-controlled characters if desired. There are many rules which can be altered such as whether to play Time (wherein players must defeat each other as many times as possible within a set frame of time) or Stock (wherein players are given a set amount of lives), a coin battle, whether to turn specific items on or off, whether to change character weights or size, and many more.
<poem>
{{clear}}
'''Colonel''': Snake, I see you're fighting Zelda.
'''Snake''': Yeah, I guess. Doesn't feel right fighting someone in a dress, though...
'''Colonel''': Don't underestimate her just because she's a woman. Zelda's attacks are backed by powerful magic. Her hand-to-hand combat may look weak, but her magic makes it cut to the bone.
'''Snake''': So this rose has thorns... Interesting...
'''Colonel''': ...This is no time for pickup lines, Snake.
'''Snake''': Don't worry. I know from experience that it's the quiet ones you have to watch out for.

'''Snake''': This guy is giving off a murderous vibe! Even getting close to him makes my skin crawl...
'''Otacon''': Snake! Ganondorf is dangerous! His ambition is to rule the world, and he's got the power to do it. It's no wonder they call him 'King of Evil'.
'''Snake''': Do modern weapons even work against him? Do I even have a chance?
'''Otacon''': Take a look around you. There are plenty of people fighting with swords or even their bare hands. At least you've got firepower! Count yourself lucky! It's not like you to whine, Snake.
'''Snake''': I was just asking, sheesh. Well, it's back to the mission for me.
