[[File:Shadow Link (VC).png|thumb|right|Link's Shadow as the king of Calatia]]

In the {{TLoZ|Valiant Comics}} published by Valiant Comics, Link's Shadow is featured in the "[[Coming Home]]" story of the fifth issue. Referred to simply as the '''Shadow''' and described by himself as a servant of Ganon, he has the ability not only to mimic Link, but any other person. While Link is away in [[Hyrule]], the Shadow, disguised as [[Queen Seline]] and accompanied by [[Thunderbird]], attacks the monarch of [[Calatia]] and defeats her using her own magical powers. He then locks her away in the tower of the Calatia Palace, taking over her kingdom and making her people suffer under his rule.<ref>{{Cite Book|quote=I was set upon and defeated by someone who looked exactly like me AND had all my powers.
