In {{ | In {{OoT}}, Dark Link appears as a [[mini-boss]] in the [[Water Temple (Ocarina of Time)|Water Temple]], where he materializes from Link's reflection in the water to confront his good counterpart. Dark Link reacts to most of Link's movements and attacks, usually defending himself in the process.<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= You must time your attacks carefully to land a blow on this enemy, because it seems to anticipate your every action!|game= Ocarina of Time|page= 83}}</ref> Dark Link has the same amount of health as Link; the number of [[Heart Container]]s the hero has equals the number of hits with the [[Master Sword]] it takes to defeat his doppelganger. When hit, Dark Link will fall through the floor and spring back up afterwards. At the beginning of the battle, Dark Link is nearly transparent, but will gradually become opaque as the battle progresses. When he is fully opaque, he will become more aggressive and actively attack Link instead of simply reacting to his moves. | ||
There are a variety of strategies to defeating Dark Link. Link can use either [[Hammer#Megaton Hammer|Megaton Hammer]], the [[Deku Nut]]s, or the [[Biggoron Sword]], or by using his [[sword]] and while L/Z targeting him do a horizontal slash on the opposite side of his [[shield]], which gives Link an instant hit. Stocking up on magic [[Potion]]s and using [[Din's Fire]] is another option that makes the fight against Dark Link very easy. Din's Fire is one of the best options in both the passive and aggressive part of the battle, as it will cause damage every time, provided that Dark Link is in range. If Link performs a sword thrust, Dark Link will simply hop on to the blade of the sword before attacking (if aggressive). Once Dark Link is defeated, Link is able to continue on to a room containing the [[Longshot]].<ref>{{Cite manual|quote= After you defeat Dark Link, the bars on the northern door rise allowing you to access the room and claim the Longshot in the large chest there.|game= Ocarina of Time|page= 83}}</ref> | There are a variety of strategies to defeating Dark Link.
