PAST SEASONS

S2: Toon Link debuted in Season 2. But his entrance was late into the season, so he didn't really accomplish too much. Joining in with the giant wave of amiibos that entered the series in Season 2, there wasn't a lot of room to stand out. With most of them still pretty green, it would be a journey to unleash their true potential. Toon Link was one of these amiibos, but it wasn't long before he would start making waves in Amiibo Wars.

S3: This was Toon Links best season. The Gauntlet was a singles heavy/mostly 1v1 style format that catered to stronger 1v1 competitors. Though the tournament did have a handful of item/team/ffa matches thrown in the mix for the entirety of it's run. Toon Link stomped through the placement round right out the gate, putting himself in the top spot from the get go. Though Little Mac/Mario's feud pushed him out of the spotlight, he managed to cling on to 3rd Place, knocking a few amiibos down a peg who tried to take his spot. Toon Link was looking to be a serious force in Amiibo Wars.

S4: Season 4 was a bit of dejavu as Toon Link once again smashes through the preliminary rounds. Toon Link was looking to be the amiibo to beat, but much to his dismay, round 3 saw him in over his head with the likes of Shulk/Mario/Zelda/Lucario/Diddy, all who were top tier amiibos that had great win records. It could've been an unlucky draw, but this early elimination had a big effect on his ranking. Toon Link ended the tournament in 18th Place, not very good considering his potential. 

S5: Toon Link seemed to tilt after his early elimination in the last season. With the implementation of the Challenger Series, more effort was needed to make it to the top. The competition was more intense and a lot of big names and veterans were out before the tournament even began. Toon Link struggled in the Challenger Series, and much like past greats, it seemed that he didn't have what it takes to advance to the Top 20. Judging from the past two seasons, Toon Link was no longer a top tier amiibo.

S6: Season 6's introduction of the Wildcard Series divided amiibos into smaller groups, allowing more room for them to shine individually as well as less room for error. Toon Link was placed in the same group as Link who was the only amiibo to score a perfect score in the Wildcard. Toon Link had weak 1v1 Phase Scores but his Phase 2 scores were great, it gave him just enough to boost him to the Challenger Series. Will he make it to the Top 20 this season, or fumble again? More Season 6 coming soon!
