      That's because he is slowly manifesting and "downloading" (can't think of a better word) who link is. Who ever entered there would end up facing themselves. Once he is fully manifested he becomes completely hostile and will attack regardless if you do or not. Also fun fact he has the same amount of health as you do, so if you enter with 3 hearts he will also have 3 hearts.

  • @stungunnotapplicable1953
    @stungunnotapplicable1953 4 ปีที่แล้ว +19

    Interesting notes:
    - While your jump attacks typically deal double damage, Dark Link's do not deal amplified damage to you, as seen in the video.
    - Dark Link becomes more aggressive as time passes and his model becomes more opaque. Initially he only reflects and counters your own moves but as he progresses, he'll start to strike out on his own terms. This, however, can actually be his undoing as it means you're able to block with your shield and counterattack while he's stuck in recoil. It's a short window of time and tricky to take advantage of, though.
    - Dark Link's taking damage animation is reminiscent of Zelda 2 - The Adventure of Link, possibly a direct reference, where this boss first debuted (on the NES).
    - Because Dark Link is able to counter any and all stab attacks, if you're going for an aggressive approach, it might be wise to not Z-target him so as to not accidentally stab. You'll both likely take hits more often because the strikes will come in from awkward angles making them more likely to land on each other, thus speeding along the battle.
    - Additionally, Dark Link's ability to jump on your sword may be a subversion of the Zelda 2 exploit that let you beat him easily by just crouch stabbing in the corner of the room repeatedly.
    - Dark Link has no magic ability. He does perform a quick spin attack (360 stick spin + B) in the video, but there's no energy wave.
    - Dark Link's health scales to your own. Extra heart containers do not give you an advantage but bottled fairies and potions do.
    - An undocumented kind of slash can be performed by holding the stick to the right and pressing B, a diagonal slash that is mentioned nowhere in the manual. This seems to be better at getting past Dark Link's defenses, but using it while targeting is risky because due to the changing angles of the fight you may risk doing an easily countered stab instead (forwards+B).
    - Dark Link can get stuck slashing at open air, much like you can, when he really wants to turn to face you. In fact, it seems that Dark Link's movements follow the exact same rules as Link's mobility does, even down to Dark Link using emulated controller inputs to determine what he does. However, there are some unfair advantages the AI gets.
    - Using some Gameshark codes it's possible to spawn Dark Link in the Temple of Time and switch controls with him, resulting in some interesting revelations. It reveals that whenever Dark Link backflips, he gets invincibility frames -- as with Dark Link now using Link's character models, you see him flash red (as if being hit) when he flips.

  • @Sanguiluna
    @Sanguiluna 14 ปีที่แล้ว +23

    When you stop using Z-targeting and you realize the fight is easier that way, I always interpreted that in-universe as Link realizing that the only way to defeat a mirror of himself is by abandoning all form and being random in his attacks, since Dark Link is not used to anything except Link's normal fighting style.

    Real players use the Master Sword to defeat Dark Link.
    Only wimps use the Megaton Hammer, Din's Fire, or the Biggoron Sword.
    Edit: Ignore what past me said. Anyone can fight Dark Link in their own way.
    Though I still go by my standpoint that the fight would still be cooler if you fought him as intended.

    He progressively gets harder throughout the match. You can tell in the video because at first he won't attack you unless you attack, then later on he attacks on his own and will dodge a bit better, and then even later he will start spin attacking and jump attacking on his own. So the darker he is the harder he gets XD

    Thing about Dark Link (if you want to fight him with master sword only) is to get him to start attacking you (when he solidifies) but you want to be the out of the range for a jump attack. Because he mimics your jump attack, you want him far from you so you can pull off another jump attack thus hitting him. To get him out of ur range, you can either do spin attack (which he will just back flip away from you creating more distance) or run away from him and put iron boots

    Theres something so uncanny about how shadow link moves, it makes me think you're fighting another human player somehow

    A good trick for when the fight begins is that you have to make him stand on your sword by trying to stab him. Stay in Z-Targeting, and then when he backflilps off of your sword, do a jump attack.
    Repeat this process until he dodges your jump attack, then from that point, just don't Z-target and then hack away at him with your sword.
    (Or Din's Fire if you have the magic upgrade.)

    Still though, when people fight dark link using just the master sword they are fighting him on equal terms
    But you can't jump on his sword
    So I guess that makes you even

    That satisfying sound (5:17) after a couple of hours wasting magic and pressing the B button like a maniac. The hardest boss of the entire game! I believe things get out of hand for Nintendo when designing this god damned level.

    I love the fact that when you play this part for the first time, you wonder where the heck you are, check the other exit, and then, from out of NOWHERE, Dark Link materializes at the tree O.o
    As a side note, I love the fact that Dark Link doesn't become hostile until you Z-Target him. I can just picture this-
    Dark Link-''Link, you shall progress no farther!''
    Link-''Aw c'mon, this dungeon is the hardest yet! I need a breather!''
    Dark Link-''...Fine then.. Take 5.''
    XD

    as shanonymous said, dark link is links reflection. that is why fighting him with the master sword is so hard. He does exactly what you do and know what you will do next.

    I discovered an interesting bug long ago on the N64 version. If you get out of Dark Link's Z-targeting range and perform a forward jump slash (Z-button + A) Dark Link will mimic that, but since Dark Link is not in Z-targeting mode, he will put away his sword. He then moves around like he doesnt have a shield and he wont attack you anymore.

    I'm tired of people calling everyone noob because they didn't beat it in 1 hit or something and he said he's just useing the sword so stop saying "use the hammer idiot" he's challenging dark link in sword play which is 10 times more epic then bringing the hammer down which is to easy (now that's being a noob) useing the sword is more challenging and dark link is really epic and worthy to be hard

  • @Vgamer311
    @Vgamer311 13 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    it's nice to see a video only using the master sword, the fight isn't much fun if you just spam Din's fire, and it isn't even that hard without it. My firs time facing this boss, I beat him using only the sword(okay, I used Din's fire ONCE, but it was my first time!)
