So, we can drop a bomb and grab ledge on the same time but not the way they did it in the video. But there are other ways to do similar things.



No 1. If you have been long enough in the air to be able to Z-ari to ledge and do while you are really close by to it you will be able Z-ait it while dropping the bomb, though there is a chance that you will either clip the tether or are to early meaning that you may fall to your doom.



No 2. you can drop the bomb on stage and then pick it up with a move and preform a instant item drop, but it takes too long to set up for it to be worth it. They may see it coming.



Another factor that Link have is that way that bombs send your opponents, which is upwards and to the side depending on which direction they go in. So instead of jumping of and going for a trump and all you could cover ledge with a bomb by Zdropping it as they are nearing ledge. Next up they could either be hit into the stage and stage spiked unless they manage to tech it, or they get sent outward and up which should be an easy setup for a Dair spike. Though you of course have to predict where they will go which should not be so hard if you have gotten a feel for bombs on different weights and %.



Another thing you could go for would be a tether trump which also sets up for a true Dair assuming that the opponent don't preform a wall jump at when it's best to simply get back up to stage right after the trump as they aren't able to grab ledge anymore due to Links Dash attack and side tilt both having hitboxes that reach below the floor. Or you can also right as you get the trump preform a jump from ledge with an instant bomb drop creating some nice pressure but probably won't lead to anything.



Or you can completely screw them over by running of stage holding a bomb, throwing the gamle boomerang into the wall using it's wind box to force a more linear recovery and then punish it at any point with your up-B and still being able to recover without problem thanks to the bomb giving you a boost.



So no, Link can't really do what was done in the video but that doesn't leave him without options and there are many more.

This is why I main Link, all of the options you have at all times which can make you over all awkward to deal with, while looking real stylish.



Well, that was a fun useless rant. I got some new tech to try out o/
