That Dark Link fight from the Water Temple was one of the coolest and scariest surprises for me when I first played through the game.
@JamesPolitician
I always kinda assumed dark link was link fighting his darkness and shadow link was what he could become idk
@alejandrocuevas3858
I’ve always loved how the manga handled dark link, he always represented the darkness and insecurities link had and had to overcome and it always had link grow after the encounter
@zsck
I always liked the interpretation that the original Hyrule Warriors had about this entity, being Link's ego, which at that point in the story was evident. Fighting that ego to overcome it and become a true hero is something that I liked.

I always assmued the water temple "dark link" was just a reflection of the potential evil in his heart. Theoretically, anyone who entered the water temple and got to that room would face a dark version of themselves.
@thekrauserlols4611
Cant recall if it was a theory or something in the lore but remember reading about Dark Link, in OoT, being a creation of the Water Temple, because it was a trial for all Zora to conquer themselves. You know before the temple was cursed by Gannondorf
@KingGotBlocked
The link from 4 swords was kinda peak in the manga book thing i read. Cuz apprearently theres a manga of twilight,ocarina of time,majora mask, 4 swords,the one with a bird cap, and like 2 other ones.
@J0J0Jetz
edgy teenager me loved dark link
@ashleyblack7419
Fun fact. In the german version the dark mirror and the mirror of twilight are both called "Schattenspiegel" which translates to shadowmirror. Both games also feature shadow links or at least depictions
@Xazyv
The thing is as soon as you acknowledge that most of the Links are different people it actually DOESN'T make sense for all of the Dark and Shadow Links to be the same Add to that the fact that every Dark and Shadow Link seem to come into being under entirely different circumstances and that they all seem pretty vanquished by the end of their stories, and you've got a pretty solid case that each one is very much an entirely different entity
@LHSMeleeClub
Things got real quickly in four Swords Adventures when Shadow Link rolled up with his crew
@moustachelink8919
The dark Link in the water temple will always be my favourite, I always saw it as a interpretation of Link’s loneliness and anger since the only object in the room is a dry tree representing himself and when dark Link appears he initially copies your moveset and health but as you progress into the fight he will start becoming aggressive and starting to attack more often even standing on your sword and Link’s techniques with the sword to take the upper hand and when Link defeats it the tree and the emptiness vanishes leaving the regular room, it’s as if the room for every person that enters the temple it’s different in matters of emotions or trauma deep inside their being
@jackotherstar
If there was a shadow BotW/TotK Link with the same exact abilities the fight would go so hard with how insane it would be
@randomking7856
Age of calamity dark link is created by Astor using dark magic
@SLITproductions
My favorite interpretation of dark link was the one in the Twilight Princess Manga. Instead of being a symbol or a shadow clone, it’s a representation of the fact that Link is becoming what he hates most and is only hurting himself because of it.
@Godongo
Honestly, I've always thought that the Water Temple dark link was like a representation of the darkness inside of Link Though, you are right. Each "dark link" is made differently.
@kiaelinkx
The “TWEELEE”?!
