Unlike the alternate costume, the Dark Link in this event is completely black, as opposed to Link's alternate costume, which is mostly gray and black with red eyes. As in ''Melee'', Link is the only option to fight against Dark Link. However, unlike Melee, this battle is fought as a Stamina match, making him more like a traditional ''Legend of Zelda'' enemy. A similar event, known as {{Ssb|Battle of the Dark Sides}}, is featured for two players, in which Dark Link is fought by Link and Samus together, but is similarly accompanied by Dark Samus, an entity that, like Dark Link, is completely black, instead of resembling the canon ''Metroid'' character of the same name. | ||

In the {{OoT|Himekawa}}, Link meets up with his shadowed doppelganger at [[Kakariko Village]]. From [[Beneath the Well]], Dark Link emerges, ready to defeat the original Link. The original Link managed to defeat his dark self by learning that the shadow monster is only as good as Link was then. So to defeat him, Link had to become better than he was before. Slicing Dark Link in half, the dark hero was not yet done. Dark Link then returned riding on a Dark Epona. Link countered and defeated Dark Link once again with the use of his own [[Epona]]. This Dark Link replaced [[Bongo Bongo]] as boss, most likely because the [[Shadow Temple]] didn't appear in the manga. | In the {{OoT|Himekawa}}, Link meets up with his shadowed doppelganger at [[Kakariko Village]].

*In his battle in {{TAoL|-}}, Link's Shadow dodges or blocks most of the attacks that Link attempts but is vulnerable when he jumps. This flaw can be taken advantage of by simply standing in a corner and repeatedly swinging Link's sword toward Link's Shadow. Link's Shadow will attempt to jump at Link and keep running into the attacks, making a rather difficult battle seem less difficult. However, this does not work in the original Famicom Disk System version, as the A.I. was simplified when the game was transferred to cartridge format. | *In his battle in {{TAoL|-}}, Link's Shadow dodges or blocks most of the attacks that Link attempts but is vulnerable when he jumps.

*Dark Link in | *Dark Link in {{OoT|-}} can be made to imitate most of Link's animations. Stunning Dark Link with Deku Nuts in a specific way will cause him to mirror Link's every move. This can be used to a comical effect; for example, if Link is down to a fraction of a heart and leans over panting, Dark Link will also act fatigued. Dark Link also mimics Link's idle animations, such as checking his sword and tunic. If Link puts on the Iron Boots, Dark Link will start moving as if he were also wearing them. | ||
