@@DlsmantIe It definitely wouldn't be that, sorry. The Fierce Deity is a warborn god, and has the power to destroy an entire moon. The Fierce Deity would kick Link's ass with no effort, especially since OoT Link had to limit himself to using the mask only in boss rooms so he didn't end up killing everyone he saw relentlessly because the mask was even more powerful than Majora's mask and would definitely overtake the body of anyone who used it.
dark pit came from a mirror that gives some kind of alternative universe character or idk(only saw some gameplay clips so thats why i dont know) Dark link came from magic(?)
Dark Link's battle in Ocarina of Time is such an underrated part of the game. For one, him only becoming visible once you pass him once is an early horror VG cliche & (I'd imagine) prob one of the first times it was ever used in 3D games. Then the entire room is literally a representation of "reflection". It's all just awesome.
I actually *Avoided* the little "Island" with the tree. Apparently, he only comes out when your reflection vanishes from the water, *WHICH ONLY* happens if you walk over the Island!!
@@Bornheck Maybe underrated isn't the right word. I guess I mean more in how ppl generally dislike water temple when Dark Link is easily the eeriest mini-boss.
@@spitefulraven People actually hates only the water temple, but everyone loves the dark link fight, and everyone talks about it, so don't worry about that, people seems to make the distinction between the temple and the mini boss inself
I like how Nintendo reminds people to face your shadow self. It's actually the negative qualities that we hide from other people. You can find your shadow self in your dreams, lucid.
I believe each version of him has different origins. The one I particularly like the most is the one from Hyrule Warriors. Dark Link being born from Link's own inner darkness is pretty interesting.
Dark Link is supossed to be the physic representation of Link´s inner problems, anguishes, doubts and bad feelings (Link´s darkside) with the only purpose to become him bad, corrupt him or kill him, but he is also the way Link can get rid of all that and be more confident about himself and follow his duty without any doubts. He is also a way he (Link) can prove he is worthy of the triforce of courage and the Master Sword and also get stronger emotionally and physically.
Dark Link is Link's inner dark reflection. Appears in Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild as a skin for Link. Shadow Link is born from Link's shadow. Appears in Adventure of Link, Oracle of Ages, A Link to the Past GBA, Four Swords Adventures, Spirit Tracks, A Link Between Worlds, Tri Force Heroes and Link's Awakening remake.
Dark Link/Shadow Link is amazing. I always wondered what happened to OoT's version, as it doesn't look like he really died; it looks like he just disappeared. But maybe Link was just fighting the dark side within himself, and Dark Link/Shadow Link only exists within Link, so maybe it's just a metaphor.
Fun fact: in the Adventure of Link, that's not Dark Link or Shadow Link. It's "Link's Shadow" and fighting it is only a test to see if Link is worthy to hold the Triforce.
I remember fighting dark link in hyrule warriors (I play on 3DS) for me it was hard in the start but I realized his weakness. (Spamming specials and using magic)
I feel like Link’s Awakening Dark Link was a missed opportunity for a Dark Souls-style invasion mechanic, to add in some multiplayer aspects to the game a bit.
Yeah the way Link Between Worlds is an okay response to that. You’re fighting an AI that just kinda gets left-over in your world I guess, but there’s no *actual* multiplayer.
Dark link only appears in the gba version of a link to the past which includes both a link to the past and four swords Which this remake includes 4 swords to collect then u go in a lair then the four swords will generate the shadow of the four sword heroes
Dark link might honestly be the most underrated villain. The fact he's a literal exact mimic of link, meaning link would either severely struggle against him, or not even win. Could you imagine a totk dark link??
Should be a future main antagonist of legend of Zelda game who actually causes chaos over Hyrule throughout the whole game with many encounters it would be pretty epic and you would end being an outcast as folks will believe you responsible for all the terrible acts.
That's actually done with four swords shadow link! He's ACTIVELY causing mayhem throughout the game both in combat and out. He's a little shit and I love him.
I remember playing oot for the first time I went into the room with dark lik and was so confused I saw shadow link and tried talking to it My brother told me to target it And then I was terrified to see that the battle theme started up Then I watched as it became darker and darker until the eyes turned red and I freaked out
I'm actually kind of proud of myself, because I found a way to use his whole "jumping on my sword" thing to my advantage. See, if you hit "A" to knock him off, you get a split second to do a jump attack on him if you time it right.
Feel kinda bad for ocarina dark link man just wanted a honorable sword battle with his true equal but the fucker had to pull out a hammer and just assaulted him with it.
Well that would be the obvious answer CM T3. But what if he begins to understand what kind of person(or creature) he could have turned out to be if his own life wasn’t so perfect? Or even the sheer impossibility of seeing the clone face-to-face & the fact that he has to indirectly & non-specifically “kill” himself?
The only villain in the Zelda series that is more recurring than Ganon in fact I will make the tally for each one and I will include non canon appearances and remakes. Dark Link: 21. Ganon: 18
Ahhh… the hammer? Really?… try fighting OOT dark link with the master sword! It’s much more challenging and to me at least more fun. And yes I’ve done both
I have a theory that dark link is just one of the heroes of time from a different timeline corrupted by ganon. The reason he knows all of link’s moves is because he learned them in his original timeline.
It's not. In both Link's Adventure and Ocarina of Time, Dark Link is literally your own reflection. Your shadow literally jumps out of your body in the former case and in the latter case, your reflection disappears once you approach the dead tree.
Idk if I can try making this joke Let me try Timmy: awww I can’t get the past link costumes becuase I need amiibos :( Botw: look you stinkin fart Tommy: :o Botw: Since your too poor for wanting amiibo you can get the dark link costumes fir no amiibo! Timmy: OH GEE GOLLY PLS TELL ME botw: go to the zuna kai shrine and go to the other eyes and you can see a suspicious monster man named kilton if you talk to him he will be places when it’s night time! Timmy: TELL ME! Botw : rito village, gerudo, zoras domain, goron city, kakariko village, hateno village He can spawn in the night Also kilton sells things like monster extract, hammers, bokoblin mask, moblin mask, listalfos mask, lynel mask, monster horse gear, and the DARK SET Timmy: aww I can’t afford all those things I have 457 rupees :( Botw: you stinkin idiot you don’t need rupees you can exchange monster items from monsters that you can kill Timmy: F**K YEAH! idk If I made that comment a joke I think it’s a story so that’s all
All the years, there will never be a Dark Link battle as legendary as N64 OOT. The GBA Link to the Past remake battle is very epic, though. It would have been NICE if it happened in the Super NES original! Such a shame.
0:48 - 0:55 I never noticed until now that Link's reflection disappears once he goes past the tree spawing in Dark Link
That's just creepy now
Joseph Carmelo Dark link is links shadow
Joseph Carmelo swiggy swooty your shadow is now my property
Wow, interesting observation.... Nice
It took me 16 years to find that.
It would have been so cool if the last boss in the Trial of the Sword in Breath Of The Wild was Dark Link
He was already a skin so yeah. Maybe he'll be an optional boss in BotW2.
That would've been awesome
or the fierce deity even tho it wouldn't make sense

One of the most difficult enemies in the Zelda series, because you are fighting against your own self. I am quite curious as to his origin.
I believe each version of him has different origins. The one I particularly like the most is the one from Hyrule Warriors. Dark Link being born from Link's own inner darkness is pretty interesting.
Me knowing it's because of his pride:

Just a remake of the dungeon theme of Adventure of Link, the game he originally came from.
I like the Melee version, but this one is pretty good too.
Easy to kill
Just turn off the lights
No light no shadow
If the roof is blocking sunlight turning everything under it dark then yes, it's ALL Shadow
Turns off light

Stay in a room without windows.BOOM

OH BOI!!
Dark Link is powerful, evil and that's all. At least he appeared again in Link's Awakening for Switch.
Ocarina of time: Look! My dark side! I'm going hit it with a hammer
Dark Link should be used as a mini boss battle for Super Smash Bros.Ultimate but he's the alternate costume of Link
Yeah just like Pit
Dark Link is Link's inner dark reflection. Appears in Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild as a skin for Link.
Shadow Link is born from Link's shadow. Appears in Adventure of Link, Oracle of Ages, A Link to the Past GBA, Four Swords Adventures, Spirit Tracks, A Link Between Worlds, Tri Force Heroes and Link's Awakening remake.
You know what they say, everybody has a dark side, no matter how good they are.
Exactly. Hyrule Warriors is the best portrayal of Dark Link IMHO.
Also Hyrule warriors!
The ocarina of time was smart, the water of you're shadow dissapears when you go on land like a suprise.
You defeat ocarina of time dark link: "peace out. Here's twenty bucks"
I had no idea he was in so many games. Thanks for making this compilation.
I have always loved how Ocarina´s Dark Link gets more "solid" and darker the more you hit him or you get hurt.
He gets more solid over time, not when he's taking damage.
17:45
Can we all agree that this is probably one of the scariest incarnations of Dark Link?
Look at that smile, good lord.
What smile?
“I am a shadow... the true self.”
I hope someone makes an edit with I’ll Face Myself playing against a Shadow Link boss fight someday.

23:28 "FOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!" wait, wrong game.
You picked the wrong house
Ocarina of time Link: how can you jump on my sword and I can't?
Dark Link: white guys can't jump.
Anything: *exists*
Nintendo Unity: I CAN MAKE THAT HISTORY
I do like how in oot, when dark link is dropped a heart (depending on how many you have) he does the death animation from Zelda 2
I always found it weird he didn't show up botw because he would've been a perfect fit with the more advanced combat.
Dark link is more powerful then link because he can say the n word
Can y’all chill it was just a joke
oh god oh frick

1:30 Is it just me or why do i think his death scream sounds so funny 😂

It's not. In both Link's Adventure and Ocarina of Time, Dark Link is literally your own reflection. Your shadow literally jumps out of your body in the former case and in the latter case, your reflection disappears once you approach the dead tree.
