Character Synopsis
Dark Link is the shadow doppelgänger of Link is able to utilize many of Link's own attacks, often mimicking him. It is unknown if any of Dark Link's appearances across games represent the same entity, or if each game features its own unique Dark Link (although considering how most incarnations of Link are different to one another, it is likely the same applies to their doppelgangers). Multiple Dark Links occasionally appear together but it is unclear if each of them possesses an individual consciousness, or if they are all just aspects of the same being.
