He also has plenty of options for his specials with his boomerang, bombs, shield, and grappling hook. Each of these tools could also offer a different form of utility depending on how Overwatch wants Link to work. His Gale Boomerang could bring people in closer for melee and special attacks (just like in Smash Bros.), and his grappling hook could work like Windowmaker's to get him to advantageous points around the map. There’s a broad realm of fun possibilities to be had with the character.
Link isn’t a stranger to guest-star appearances either, as evident by Smash Bros. (obviously) and his lesser-known Soul Caliber 2 appearance. Jeff recently talked about the length of Overwatch's 2 campaign, and since Link has been apart of so many different tales, it would be interesting to see how the Overwatch team would add him to the new storyline if allowed. Link’s original stories already tend to feature him in a variety of different forms, settings, and styles so he wouldn't be out of place aesthetically. In fact, fans of both Overwatch and Smash Bros. have already reimagined Link in the Overwatch universe through art. Link's inclusion probably won't happen, but the idea is a pleasant one.
Overwatch 2 is in development for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
