A technique in all four smash games that consists of moving along the ground by repeatedly executing characters' initial dash animation, as opposed to using their full dash. With some characters, the initial dash animation is faster than the full dash animation, which makes running faster with Fox Trotting as opposed to just dashing.

Link is a slower but more powerful version of Young Link. He does not have the speed, maneuverability, or projectile game that Young Link offers, but he makes up for it with his strong sword. Additionally, Link has one of the farthest reaching grapple recoveries, making him a unique character to edge-guard.
