Shadow Link is featured as both a main character and a recurring enemy and boss in {{FSA}}. There are many Shadow Links; the Dark Mirror can create an endless supply from [[Ganondorf]]'s resentment and evil thoughts from his defeat in {{TP}},<ref name="Ganondorf"/> but they all work together as one. He first appears early in the game in the [[Four Sword Sanctuary]] and tricks Link into drawing the Four Sword, releasing the ancient Wind Mage [[Vaati]] and splitting Link into four Links. He and his copies then plague Hyrule by terrorizing its citizens, some of whom blame the Links for their misdeeds. Shadow Links usually show up repeatedly in each stage, often causing mischief using a certain item, such as setting fires with the [[Fire Rod]], creating stunning shockwaves with the [[Hammer]], or charging at the [[Links]] with the [[Pegasus Boots]]. Sometimes they will simply taunt the Links by hopping in place and jumping away when they get too close. Defeating a Shadow Link will yield a large green [[Force Gem]], but they will flee to the [[Dark World]] if they are not defeated in time or if they evade the Links enough times. | Shadow Link is featured as both a main character and a recurring enemy and boss in {{FSA}}.

Shadow Link will also sometimes appear and summon a [[Big Bomb]]. When this Bomb explodes, all Links on screen will be instantly defeated if they do not take shelter or leave the area before the countdown reaches zero. He will continue to summon an endless supply of Big Bombs until the Links progress through the area. He shows up to do this in [[The Coast]], [[The Swamp]], [[Lost Woods ( | Shadow Link will also sometimes appear and summon a [[Big Bomb]].

Shadow Link appears as the main boss in the [[Cave of No Return]], [[Village of the Blue Maiden]], {{Term|FSA|Desert Temple|link}}, and The Dark Cloud stages. He will also appear as a [[Sub-Boss]] for the [[The Mountain Path|Mountain Path]], [[Tower of Flames]], [[Kakariko Village ( | Shadow Link appears as the main boss in the [[Cave of No Return]], [[Village of the Blue Maiden]], {{Term|FSA|Desert Temple|link}}, and The Dark Cloud stages. He will also appear as a [[Sub-Boss]] for the [[The Mountain Path|Mountain Path]], [[Tower of Flames]], [[Kakariko Village (Stage)|Kakariko Village]], [[Desert of Doubt (Stage)|Desert of Doubt]] and [[Temple of Ice]] stages. During each battle, except for the Dark Cloud stage, Shadow Link will eventually take on a random color, and only the corresponding Link can damage him using the Four Sword (bombs can stun Shadow Link if they explode near him, even if they are detonated by a Link that does not match his color). During these battles Shadow Link usually travels back and forth from the Dark World and attacks Link with his copy of the Four Sword. Starting with the battle in the Village of the Blue Maiden, additional Shadow Link copies will jump out of him before the battle begins. Each copy can be defeated individually, but all of the copies will be instantly defeated if the original Shadow Link is defeated. Furthermore, only the original Shadow Link can take on a random color. Shadow Link and his kin are finally defeated once and for all in The Dark Cloud stage when, while the Links engage them in combat, [[Princess Zelda]] undoes the seal on the Dark Mirror and takes it into her possession, dispelling them. | ||
