In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Dark Link is one of Link's alternate costumes. This time, he takes his appearance from ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'' where he has more detail and red eyes. Dark Link still appears in an Event, where Link has to fight him once again. This time, they fight in a Stamina match on the [[Bridge of Eldin]], and have 200 [[HP]] each. One of [[Toon Link]]'s alternative costumes is a Dark Toon Link.
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]] and [[Dark Samus]] assisting Link and Dark Link, respectively.

History

Super Smash Bros. Melee

Dark Link appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee as the opponent in Event Match 18: Link's Adventure. In the battle, the player controls a red-clad Link, who has two extra lives. The fighter must defeat Dark Link, who also has two lives. The two swordsmen fought at the Temple, with no time limit. This Event Match is a reference to the ending of 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, 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, Co-Op Event 7: Battle of the Dark Sides, is the same as Dark Link Duel, but with the addition of Samus 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 off the "interlopers" from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, whereas Toon Link's is based off Shadow Link from The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures.
