Link is a playable guest character in the [[Nintendo GameCube|GameCube]] version of {{SCII}}. His appearance is taken from his adult incarnation from {{OoT}}. Though he is voiced by [[Nobuyuki Hiyama|Hiyama]], he does not have a deep voice (as Adult Link does in {{OoT|-}}), he now has a timbre relative to that of a tenor (similar to that of Zora Link, without modification). His voice is the same exact tone as ''Nightmare'' in the Japanese voicing of the game, as well as the seiyū voice of ''Siegfried Schtauffen'' in the entire Soul Edge and Soulcalibur series. Expectedly, Link's voice remains unchanged regardless of what language voice setting it is set to. [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] did not see a problem with Link appearing in what some had thought to be a "violent fighting game" since he had already been established as a fighter in the {{SSB|-}} games.{{Fact}}

In {{SCII|-}}, Link is one of the few characters with a ranged attack, alongside other guest characters {{Wp|Necrid}} and {{Wp|Spawn (comics)|Spawn}} (the latter of which is exclusive to the XBox version). He is the only guest character to have his own theme and more than three costumes—the same colors that were his ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' costumes. His weapons are a number of weapons from {{TLoZ|Series|-}} games, ranging from the [[Razor Sword]] to the [[Magical Sword]] and even the [[Bug Catching Net]]. In addition, Link's fighting style retains many of his signature moves from past games in ''The Legend of Zelda'' and {{SSB|-}} series. Some of these moves include the [[Spin Attack]], the [[Jump Attack]], the [[Down Thrust]], the [[Jump Thrust]], and the [[Dash Attack]].
