I've been reading game FAQs all over the place for this thing, and there's something I stumbled on that confused me. Every FAQ I've read gives two methods for unlocking Young Link:
1. Play 500 VS mode matches.
2. Beat classic mode as Link, as Zelda, then as 8 other characters. (I've also seen this version with just Link and 9 other characters)
I've never done either of these things . . . I just got the game, have never played even one VS mode match, and I've never used Link at all because I really, really hate him. But Young Link challenged me anyway, randomly, after I beat Classic Mode (I forget who I was using, possibly Jigglypuff?) earlier today. I lost to him (I suck rather a lot), but he challenged me again after every match I played until I finally beat him and unlocked him.
So my question is, have characters ever challenged you totally at random before? Or did I do something weird to get this guy bugging me so much?
