Today, we cover another original companion to Link throughout the Cagiva adaptation of A Link to the Past. Captain Arjuna starts out as the captain of the royal guard and head of the Hylian soldiers, suspicious of Agahnim's true intentions. When Agahnim's coup occurs, he fights alongside Link's Uncle, survives the battle, and escapes, becoming a fugitive alongside Link and Raska, taking up a Kakashi-esque mentorship role for the pair.

As for his abilities, sad to say, we never really get to see them on the page. He's there, in most of the battles right alongside Link and Raska, but the art always focuses on what the boys are doing, with him just swinging his sword most of the time. However, as he is the head of the Hylian Soldiers, who do have a moveset already, I think it's fair to make him a cross-roster echo fighter.

Here's the moveset I came up with:

Standard B: Bow and Arrow

Probably a little more powerful than the average.

Side B: Spear

Same.

Up B: Ball and Chain

A natural inclusion.

Down B: Bomb Ambush

I think he actually did something similar at one point.

Final Smash: Triple Attack

Instead of calling on his own forces, this time, he will summon in Link and Raska and the three will attack similarly to Shulk's final smash.

Entrance: He will step out of a secret door.

Taunts: Up, he will hold up his sword and look determined despite breathing heavy. Side, he will put away his sword and cross his arms, looking proud. Down, he with crouch and watch from a bush.

Thanks for reading! Next up, we have Link's ancestor from Oracle of Ages.
