From SSBM Wiki: Ledge-canceling (also known as edge canceling) is an advanced technique present in all games in the Super Smash Bros. series.

Farore’s Wind – Edge Cancels
Edge cancelling Farore’s makes the move into an extremely fast and powerful gap closing and chase tool, however the tolerance to land edge cancels is extremely small due to Zelda’s higher traction.

Horizontal teleport cancelling is by far the easiest, as it’s possible on platform to another platform and you only need concern yourself with your X position on the platform. You can get a feel for this distance by standing directly between the red arrows in the… continue

With this knowledge, you can take more evasive actions. Try starting a teleport to somewhere safer or quickly adjust your Farore’s position to make a sweet spot possible. Teleport drift also happens during fast fall. Start a fast fall, input Up-B, and the downward momentum will cause your teleport to drop faster. Teleport drift is also affected by other… continue

Ledgekick and Ribbonkick
An extremely powerful way to control edge space is with a an edge cancelled kick on the ledge, hereafter referred to as a ledge kick. Placing a kick directly upon the ledge puts an extremely strong hitbox exactly where your opponent wants to be then immediately cancels and leaves you fully actionable. It’s extremely low commitment and often nets a full stock while leaving your options wide open in the event that your initial kick does not connect, and taking no action grabs ledge. Worst case you overshoot edge and miss; you’re put into a recovery situation at the same… continue
