Boomerang
From SmashWiki, the Super Smash Bros. wiki
The Boomerang is a special move used by Link. In Super Smash Bros., it is his Standard Special Move, while in Super Smash Bros. Melee onward, it is his Smash B move. Also, Young Link has this attack, and although the distance and damage are diminished he has greater control over it. Toon Link uses the Boomerang as well.
One can tap the control stick while doing this move to increase its range, and tilt the stick up or down to aim it towards those directions. If you dodge the Boomerang as it comes back to you, it will continue going arcing in the direction you dodged in. Link can only have one Boomerang on screen at at time, trying the attack again while a boomerang is out only results in Link doing his boomerang throwing animation without actually throwing anything.
Boomerangs have been a staple weapon since the very first The Legend of Zelda game; while weaker than the Bow, it is reusable and capable of pulling items back to Link. The design used in Melee is based on its design in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Link no longer uses the Boomerang, but rather, the Gale Boomerang, which pulls enemies towards you as it returns to Link. Toon Link still uses the normal boomerang, but with its design from The Wind Waker.
