He has a complete arsenal that draws upon several beloved games. The fact is Link is fully fleshed out in SCII. And I believe that many are quick to point to the Gamecube's being the best almost solely because of Link. And when discussions surrounding Soul Calibur II arise? The conversation almost always shifts to which is the better version. These days it's easier to believe a third party character getting into Smash. But this was really unique to see Link as a cameo in a third party title. Oh sure Smash had Nintendo's own IP popping up in it. SoulCalibur 2 I think also stands out as it was really the first game that had a major cameo in it. Yet it was Link on that cover/box art that drew me to the game. I had seen it on Dreamcast but it was very much a franchise that kind of was out of my wheel house at that point. I picked the game up when it had become a Player's Choice title at my local Sam's Club iirc. Prior to Soul Calibur III, each game was initially released in arcades and later ported to console. For example, Seung Han Myong (Romanized in later games as Seong Han-myeong) is not featured in the arcade version of Soul Edge and in home versions there is a role-playing-type mode titled 'Edge Master' where the player can unlock various items including weapons for the default characters. The ported versions are known for their extra features, including characters, weapons, costumes, art galleries, martial arts demonstrations and involved single-player modes, when compared to the original arcade versions.
