Mario is the same character in every game.
Link is not. It's the same spirit (although only partially), but different people. Spirit Tracks Link exists 100 years after Wind Waker happens. Phantom Zelda is the grand daughter of Tetra.
This is all canonical stuff.
And the reason Twilight Princess Link is using the Gale Boomerang instead of a regular one.
My question is really why a character should show off weapons he didn't use instead of letting him use his own unique arsenal? The whip and the Spirit Flute and all that. Hell, even the train.
no, that's not my point. this is a crossover game--it does not have to care for franchise continuity. link uses the gale boomerang because it differentiates him from toon link, but aside from that and the hookshot > clawshot change, nothing else about his moveset is specifically taken from twilight princess. he represents multiple generations of links.
beyond that, many characters exhibit moves not implied by their games. why do ness and lucas know pk starstorm? when was olimar capable of doing anything but tossing and redirecting pikmin and punching? blah blah captain falcon and fox.
i don't see any reason to contest toon link using wind waker tools just because there's the implication that he's the link specific to spirit tracks. hell, i think it'd be cool if spirit tracks got some moveset love, but you don't need to toss wind waker right out to get there. a mixed-reference moveset would be really neat.
