Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. First off, what series of games do Link and Young Link come from?

Answer: The Legend of Zelda

The "Legend of Zelda" series is quite big (and still growing), and stars Link as its main character. Young Link was first truly introduced in "Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time", which showed much of Link's past.
2. What is Link's aerial A move called?

Answer: Hylian Kick

Although this move may not be very power-dealing, and there are many other aerial attacks Link has that deals more, this move can come in handy in the most unusual times, mostly when you're trying to attack, and your opponent has you airborne. A nice kick in the face is a nice surprise.
3. Apart from latching on enemies and cliffs, what else is Link/Young Link's hookshot good for?

Answer: Smacking opponents in the face while you fall

Link's hookshot can be one of the most annoying moves in the game sometimes. It enables him to grab other characters from a longer range, recover more frequently (and smack people in the face), but when it misses, it leaves him extremely vulnerable.
4. How many years apart are Link and Young Link?

Answer: 7

During Young Link's first visit to the Temple of Time, he draws the legendary Master Sword from its pedestal, which causes him to sleep for seven years. Later, he can drop the sword back in and draw it out as he pleases to become seven years older or younger.
5. Which A button aerial attack causes the most damage?

Answer: Down+A

The Down+A move allows Link to come down at his enemies, and by holding the A button, and using the control stick to control it, you can bounce off an opponent multiple times to rack up damage.
6. What is the most powerful ground A move?

Answer: Down+A

Despite what you may think, the double-sided Down+A move actually deals the most damage in a hit, but normally doesn't send opponents off the stage, because they fly upward instead. It's a handy move when cornered (though using Up+B is quicker), and can be charged up like any other smash move for devastating effects.
7. Besides holding R or L, how else can Link/Young Link shield against projectiles?

Answer: Standing still, facing the projectile

Link and Young Link both already carry shields, and when they stand still (and you're not holding anything), the shield is right in front of you in a protective position. True, you may be able to shield from projectiles by attacking them, but it's normally not a good idea. Pressing down on the control stick works, but has a tendency to let the projectile over the shield and into your face, and doesn't work against Super Scope Shots and Samus' Charge Shot.
8. While Link uses the Master Sword, what sword does Young Link use?

Answer: Kokiri Sword

The Kokiri Sword has shorter range than the Master Sword, but that doesn't prevent it from being able to deal a lot of damage. True, it's not as powerful as the Master Sword, but Young Link is faster than his older counterpart, allowing him to score more attacks.
9. What game did Link fist appear in?

Answer: Zelda no Densetsu

"The Legend of Zelda" first appeared in Japan (hence the Japanese name) on the Famicom Disk System in 1986. Since then, he's met up with success, and continues to have new games coming out.
10. How many Philips CD-i games did Link star in?

Answer: 3

The three Philips CD-i games are considered the games least worth playing (according to Electronic Gaming). They include "Link: The Faces of Evil," "Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon," , where Zelda has to rescue her entire kingdom (and her father and Link) from Ganon, and "Zelda's Adventure," a game in which Ganon reverses tactics, and goes for Link, while Zelda gets to rescue him.
11. While Link has his Hylian Shield, what shield does Young Link use?

Answer: Deku Shield

Young Link's Deku Shield is wooden, and covers more of his body than the Hylian Shield Link has.
12. We know that Link and Young Link both use the Hookshot in "Super Smash Bros. Melee," but what other kind of "shot" is available in the "Legend of Zelda" games?

Answer: Long Shot

The Long Shot has greater reacher than the Hookshot, allowing Link and Young Link (in the "Legend of Zelda" games) to reach across places and grab on. The Long Shot also has its uses in fighting some bosses.
13. In "Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask", how many days do you have to stop the moon from crashing?

Answer: 3 days

When you visit the Great Bay field in "Super Smash Bros. Melee," you can see the moon advancing in the background, and kept from crashing by four giants.
14. Besides playing 500 VS matches, how else can you unlock Young Link?

Answer: Clear Classic or Adventure mode with 10 characters of which two of which have to be Link and Zelda/Sheik

When you try to beat Classic/Adventure with ten characters, make sure that the tenth is a character that you know pretty well, or you might not be able to defeat Young Link and make him a playable character.
15. When you play Adventure Mode, and defeat all five Links in the Underground Maze, what Bonus do you get, and how many points is it worth?

Answer: Link Master; 30,000 points

There is a way that you can make sure you fight all five Links before nabbing the Triforce; you have to make it through the tunnels in the correct order, though, and not get into a tunnel that requires you get through another to get out. All you have to do is stand at the edge, and peek into the room from the side. This is possible with all five rooms.
