'''[[ZeldaWiki:Dark Link|Dark Link]]''' (also known as '''Shadow Link''' or '''Link's Shadow'''; in Japan, simply as '''Doppelgänger''') is the evil counterpart of the hero of [[zeldawiki:Hyrule|Hyrule]], [[Link]]. He made his debut appearance as the final boss of ''[[ZeldaWiki:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', and has since made other appearances in other ''[[ZeldaWiki:The Legend of Zelda (Seriesfranchise)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' titles. This shadowy being resembles Link exactly, except for the fact that Dark Link is completely black. Shadow Link is also a master swordsman, just like the original. Unlike most other enemies featured in the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Dark Link does not have his own [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]].
 
==History==
===''Super Smash Bros. Melee''===
Dark Link appeared inIn ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'', asDark Link is the opponent in [[smashwiki:Event Match 18: Link's Adventure|Event MatchLv. 18: Link's Adventure]]. In the battle, the player controls a red-clad Link, who has two [[extra life|extra lives]]. The fighter must defeat Dark Link, who also has two lives. The two swordsmen are fought at the [[Temple (stage)|Temple]], with no time limit. This Event Match is a reference to the ending of ''[[zeldawiki:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', where a similar Dark Link served as the game's final boss.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Dark Link returns in two Event Matches. The first, [[smashwiki:Event Match 18: Dark Link Duel|Event Match #18: Dark Link Duel]], is similar to the match from ''Melee'', but it is fought on the [[Bridge of Eldin]] instead, and is a stamina match rather than using lives. The second, [[smashwiki:Co-Op Event 7: Battle of the Dark Sides|Co-Op Event #7: Battle of the Dark Sides]], is the same as Dark Link Duel, but with the addition of [[Samus Aran]] and [[Dark Samus]] assisting Link and Dark Link, respectively. ▼

Versions of Dark Link also appear as palette swaps for both Link and Toon Link. Link's is based offon the [[zeldawiki:Dark Interlopers|"interlopers"]] from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]'', whereas Toon Link's is based off Shadow Link from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures|The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures]]''.
