[[File:BOTW Dark Armor Set.png|thumb|left|100px|The Dark Link-inspired Dark Armor Set in ''Breath of the Wild''.<!--Included in this article to demonstrate Smash's influence upon the Zelda series. This costume more closely matches the Dark Link costumes in the Super Smash Bros. series than most "actual" incarnations of Dark Link, except for Ocarina of Time 3D. Note the white hair and lighter-colored underclothes, in contrast with the Dark Interlopers from Twilight Princess.-->]] | |||
Dark Link's origin is shrouded in mystery, and he is sometimes believed to be a creation of [[Ganondorf]]. Dark Link's strength and abilities differ in the games he has appeared in. In most of Dark Link's appearances, he appears to know every technique Link knows or has learned and can effectively match and counter his attacks; other games also show that he is capable of using Link's items as well. | Dark Link's origin is shrouded in mystery, and he is sometimes believed to be a creation of [[Ganondorf]].

Dark Link's design varies between games. In his earliest appearances, such as ''The Adventure of Link'' and ''Ocarina of Time'', he appears as a completely black version of Link, sometimes with glowing red eyes. After the Dark Interlopers used Dark Link's likeness in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}'', he started being depicted with various gray shades in his color scheme, occasionally including white hair | Dark Link's design varies between games.

After the Dark Interlopers used Dark Link's likeness in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess}}'', he started being depicted with various gray shades in his color scheme, occasionally including white hair; this color scheme was first directly associated with Dark Link himself in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' before retroactively being featured in ''Zelda'' titles such as ''Ocarina of Time 3D''. While Dark Link himself does not appear in ''{{s|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild}}'', the Dark Armor Set is based upon his updated appearance in ''Ocarina of Time 3D''. | ||
''{{s|zeldawiki|Hyrule Warriors}}'' features dark versions of many characters, including [[Young Link]] and [[Toon Link]]. | ''{{s|zeldawiki|Hyrule Warriors}}'' features dark versions of many characters, including [[Young Link]] and [[Toon Link]]. | ||

In ''Melee'', Dark Link is fought by the player controlling a red-colored {{SSBM|Link}} in the [[event match]] [[Event 18: Link's Adventure]]. This version of Dark Link is an allusion to the Shadow Link final boss of ''{{s|zeldawiki|Zelda II}}'', {{s|zeldawiki|Link's Shadow}}; the playable Link's red palette swap likely references the Reflect spell from ''Zelda II'', which turned his tunic from green to red. An all-black character does not appear anywhere else in the game, and aside from the texture and lack of voice effects, he is identical to Link. However, this texture can be applied to any character via the {{SSBM|debug menu}} or the [[black character glitch]]. If playing as Dark Link through these methods, his icon and voice will be the same as regular Link; the event match's settings can be recreated in the debug menu by setting his sub-color setting to 3 and status modifier setting to 18 (respectively, dark icon and no voice). | In ''Melee'', Dark Link is fought by the player controlling a red-colored {{SSBM|Link}} in the [[event match]] [[Event 18: Link's Adventure]].
