By tapping the game's Link [[amiibo]] after speaking with [[Dampé]], Link will be given the [[+Shadow Link Effect]] [[Chamber Stone]]. If placed while creating a [[Chamber Dungeon]], Shadow Link will appear, and will chase and attack Link until one of them is defeated. Once defeated, he will yield various [[Rupee]]s and a [[Fairy]].<ref>{{Cite Web|quote= |author= 任天堂ホームページ|published= June 11, 2019|retrieved= June 18, 2019|url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=74pw6L1yozE|title= 「amiibo リンク【夢をみる島】」を使うと…|site= YouTube|type= Video}}</ref> | |||

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]].

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. | ||

Shadow | {{Plural|ALBW|Shadow Link}} appear in {{ALBW}}, but they do not play a part in the main story and have no known connection to {{Term|ALBW|Yuga|link}} or {{Term|ALBW|Ganon|link}}. Once {{Term|ALBW|Link}} has spoken to {{Term|ALBW|Gramps|link}} and activated [[StreetPass]], and the player has received a StreetPass tag on their [[Nintendo 3DS]] system, a {{Term|ALBW|Shadow Link}} representing another player's {{Term|ALBW|Link}} will appear waiting in one of various locations around {{Term|ALBW|Hyrule|link}} or {{Term|ALBW|Lorule|link}}, and a sign will appear in the {{Term|ALBW|StreetPass Meadow|link}} offering a hint to his location. When spoken to, he will challenge {{Term|ALBW|Link}} to battle. Accepting this challenge will cause {{Term|ALBW|Link}} and {{Term|ALBW|Shadow Link}} to be transported to a battle arena where they will fight in a [[Shadow Link Battle]]. In this mode of the game, {{Term|ALBW|Shadow Link}} is only a representation of the other player, and is controlled by the computer. Its {{Plural|ALBW|Item}} and gear are determined by the other player when setting up StreetPass in their game. The combined might of the {{Plural|ALBW|Item}} held by {{Term|ALBW|Shadow Link}} adds up to a bounty of {{Plural|ALBW|Rupee|link}} that can be won once {{Term|ALBW|Link}} defeats him, and a number of Challenges can be attempted, such as defeating {{Term|ALBW|Shadow Link}} using a specific {{Term|ALBW|Item}}. The player does not always have to StreetPass with another player to receive a {{Term|ALBW|Shadow Link}}, as occasionally one from a mysterious player named "Shade" will appear. | ||

In {{TFH}}, three {{Plural|TFH|Shadow Link}} appear as the {{Plural|TFH|Boss}} of the {{Term|TFH|Baneful Zone}} in the {{Term|TFH|Den of Trials|link}}. They wield powerful versions of the {{Plural|TFH|Item}} that appear in the game, in addition to {{Plural|TFH|Sword}} which will temporarily [[Curse]] {{Term|TFH|Link}} upon dealing damage. Their {{Plural|TFH|Item}} are chosen randomly, thus requiring a different strategy every time the {{Plural|TFH|Shadow Link}} are fought. They will each aggressively pursue the {{Plural|TFH|Links}} as they attack, making ranged weapons very useful in this battle. Each {{Term|TFH|Shadow Link}} drops a single {{Term|TFH|Heart|link}} when defeated. Once they have all been defeated, a {{Term|TFH|Triforce Gateway|link}} will appear leading to the {{Term|TFH|Baneful Zone}}'s and {{Term|TFH|Den of Trials}}' final floor, where there are three {{Plural|TFH|Treasure Chest|link}} to choose from, containing Silver-rarity {{Plural|TFH|Material|link}} from the {{Term|TFH|Sky Realm|link}}. If the entire {{Term|TFH|Den of Trials}} has been completed starting from the first floor, there will instead be eight {{Plural|TFH|Treasure Chest}}, each containing a Gold-rarity {{Term|TFH|Material}} from a different {{Term|TFH|Area}} of the {{Term|TFH|Drablands|link}}. At the bottom of whichever {{Term|TFH|Treasure Chest|display=Chest}} he chooses, {{Term|TFH|Link}} will find the {{Term|TFH|Fierce Deity Armor|link}}. | |||
