Energy-based Super Attacks that Link deflects will bypass Super 17's barrier. The danger of hypothetically using Link on the Super 17 event is him accidentally deflecting Super 17's Super Attack during his energy absorption phase, in which he'll heal from his Super Attack. And since Link deflects SA's at double damage, Super 17 will recover double HP.

Luckily, this Link will be more useful.

Also, Valiance Against Malignity Link cannot deflect normal attacks. The SA deflection is a reference to him deflecting Ganondorf's magic bolts in Ocarina of Time.
