Shadow Link Battle

Shadow Link Battles are a game mode in. It uses the StreetPass feature to match Link up with shadow versions of other Links met via StreetPass.

Overview
Shadow Link Battles are only available after Link has spoken with Gramps in the StreetPass Meadow, and set up his own Shadow Link. The equipment and life given to Link's Shadow is dependent on what he currently has equipped himself. Link can speak to Gramps again later to change his Shadow. The better the equipment on a Shadow Link, the bigger the bounty will be for its defeat.

To engage in a battle, Link only needs to talk to a Shadow Link and start the fight after viewing some basic information about the Shadow Link. Shadow Links can be found all over Hyrule and Lorule, and the signs in StreetPass Meadow can help Link find these locations. When a battle is to begin, Link and the Shadow Link he talked to will be teleported to one of the five arenas. The location of the battle is defined by the location of the Shadow Link challenged.

Sky Arena
An arena that is held in the sky and features the Royal Crest in the middle of the stage. While there are no traps, Link and Shadow Link can fall off its edge.

Forest Arena
A clearing in a forest, featuring grass that can be cut for hearts, bees, and fairies. There is also an apple tree at its center, where both Link and Shadow Link can eat apples to regain heath.

Fire Arena
This arena is held over a lava lake, and has jets of lava burst up and through the metal grate floor randomly.
