Link

Link imitates the motion of the upperleft character in each list

It is better to avoid pressing [Z] because grabbing opponents sometimes freezes the game in all cases. How high imitating Link floats after down aerial's hit depends on imitated characters; this is useful for combo, meteor and recovery since the swap code has a side effect that attacks often hit distant opponents
