Chances are the code just tells him to use the exact same movements as you, and stores all your movements. Basically dark link is just a second character that you still control in some ways, hence the crouching behind the shield
These codes that spawn objects or enemies don't actually add anything but substitute something that is already on that room, in that case, the pedestal.
The code to spawn Dark Link in the Temple of Time is an actor swap. The code swaps the warp pedestal with Dark Link. Dark Link's data is indeed tied to Link's status: things like HP and height are determined the moment he spawns, while "aggro" is determined by how aggressive you are (how fast you hurt him). Hit him with a few Din's Fires and he'll shield it eventually. Hit him with enough Deku Nuts and he'll shield it to prevent getting paralyzed. He learns how to block Arrows and the Hookshot. He'll block Bombs after awhile. Everything except for the aforementioned Boomerang can eventually be blocked. That's because the Boomerang is restricted to Child Link, who shouldn't be able to face Dark Link, and has no Adult Link equivalent, thus was never programmed into Dark Link's AI.
Thanks again for the feature! :D I really love how it looks like when Dark Link is standing on thin air. he tries to be a badass but he looks like a clown. Priceless xD
This just a guess about number 1 but it might be an easter egg/in joke/reference to the fact that Dark Link is a dark mirror so he was programmed to mirror you in everyway. Maybe in another build it was possible to get to him with different equipment and he changed. Did you test if he took fewer hits if you had fewer hearts?
They probably coded his model to spawn looking like adult link but mirror everything else including height (minus the skin) Fun video! Could we get more of these?
My guess for why dark link has child links hylian shield crouch is either 1. Nintendo planned for you to fight him as a child Or 2. When Nintendo coded dark link they just copied links movement which would’ve transferred both sets of animations
The last one, the model has an origin point. Animations are done using bones, splines, uh lines that move, you make move to animate shit. The origin point defines the absolute global space. Meaning that when dark link mimics young link, his origin point gets lowered to the same as young links. Meaning the whole model, just moves a bit downward. So his shoes are clipped. Why he does the young link big shield crouch, I would assume that he mirrors the same, animations, control and almost everything from link. Ergo when you are young link, dark link gets that big shield crouch animation from you. I would think why the developers made it this way, so the perfectly mirrored clashing of swords when fighting him, happens, so it really feels like fighting your reflection. Also maybe in the past we had to save space for even animations, so the controller links animations were used to save on space. Keep in mind that dark link is Links programming, the one you play. With a simple Ai . So makes perfect sense that he can jump of ledges, swim, sheath his sword but not actually but yes.. the sword is glued to his hands lol.
I'm curious if the developers at one point intended 2 fights with Dark Link, one for both young and adult? It would explain some of these. Just throwing the possibility out there. :)
Bonus useless fact : The legend says there's an annoying young version of Dark Link that likes to watch your videos and comment stuff sometimes
Hey are you the older version of me I know I don't look like it right now but I am the ten year old dark link
UnknownComete HMMMM WHO COULD THAT BE

Is that Kuroka in your profile picture?

Fact: Dark Link can say the N word
Can Gannondorf say the N-word?

Best ever description of that glich! XD

Of course!

Good work this was interesting. The fact that dark link mirrors what you are reminds me of the smash bros brawl moveset swapping glitch

Beautiful idea lol

Fun video! Could we get more of these?
Minus his sword hand too
another fact: the area in which dark link stands when you thrust the sword at him appears to be a circle, he can land anywhere
But who's Light Link?
Link.
Yeah I know... r/woooosh
@@kakutasu8431 ok
Hehe, young link has a short..... Sword.
I love the thought and effort put into the video. Totally not useless.

This was very insightful, cheers!

Dark blocks like an emo kid getting upset about his parents not letting him go to an MCR concert
May be useless facts but it's not useless to cure my boredom
"He just is."

Sneaky Arrow > call out JS
Deku Nuts can still stun and hurt him.
Hey I am not usless
Can we have more useless facts videos please? XD
Lol when I find useless facts, I will share them for sure :)
I don't see what's useless 🤷♀️
