'''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 (Series)|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 in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]'' as the opponent in [[smashwiki:Event Match 18: Link's Adventure|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 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''=== |
|||
[[File:DarkLinkCostume.jpg|thumb|left|Dark Link acting as one of Link's alternate costumes]] |
|||
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 off 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]]''. |
|||

|||
===''Super Smash Bros for 3DS / Wii U''=== |
|||
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', one of [[Link]] and [[Toon Link]]'s other costumes include one reminiscent of Dark Link. |
|||
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''=== |
|||
{{new subject|section=y}} |
|||
