Super Mario Maker 2 Sees Link Join as a Playable Character

On December 5th, a free update to Super Mario Maker 2 for the Nintendo Switch adds Link from the Legend of Zelda series as a playable character, new course parts and a new gameplay mode.

After downloading the Ver. 2.0.0 update, the new Master Sword item will be available to use exclusively in the 8-bit Super Mario Bros. style. When this new course part is picked up, Mario will transform into Link, equipped with a new set of moves like attacking with a sword, shooting arrows and dropping bombs.
