'''Link's Adventure''' is the 18th [[event match]] of the 51 event matches in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''.


The player controls red {{SSBM|Link}} and must win a 2 [[stock]] match against a CPU [[Dark Link]] on the [[Temple]] stage. This event match features no time limit. Dark Link’s [[artificial intelligence]] is set at Level 8 and is given a completely black sub-color. He lacks any voice samples, but otherwise, he behaves identically to Link. His character icon is dark, indicating he is an all-black character.  
'''Event Match 18: Link's Adventure''' is the eighteenth [[event match]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Melee]]''. This event takes place as a two-stock match between Link and Dark Link; Dark Link is given a completely black [[palette swap]] and he lacks any voice samples, but otherwise, he behaves identically to Link.


A similar event with the same number appears in ''[[Brawl]]'' under the name [[Event 18: Dark Link Duel|Dark Link Duel]]; however, rather than using the standard percentage-based damage meter, that battle is fought in [[stamina mode]]. [[Doppelgänger Duel]] in ''[[Smash 4]]'' is also a similar event to Dark Link Duel except that it features {{SSB4|Pit}} and {{SSB4|Dark Pit}} and the player controls Dark Pit instead.

==Trivia==
==Trivia==
*This event match is a reference to the boss battle in ''{{s|zeldawiki|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link}}'' where Link battles Dark Link in the {{s|zeldawiki|Great Palace}}, which the Temple stage is based on.
*The entirety of the Event Match acts as a reference to the video game ''[[Zelda II: Adventure of Link]]''.
**Link's red costume is a reference to the {{iw|zeldawiki|Shield|Magic}} spell used by Link, which would reduce damage taken from the boss battle against Dark Link, which also turns his green tunic red.
**At the end of the game, Link had to fight against a completely black version of himself called [[zeldawiki:Dark Link|Dark Link]]. Similar to the Event Match, Dark Link behaved identically to Link, with the same attacks and jumping prowess.
*The description of this event match states that Link has "two" dark sides. The significance behind this state has been claimed that it serves as a reference to Dark Link's debut appearance in the '''second''' ''Zelda'' game, though it has also been claimed that it serves as a reference to Dark Link's second appearance as a miniboss in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''; however, it could merely be a reference to the fact that Dark Link has two stocks and must therefore be defeated twice.
**The title of the match references the title of the game, via changing the order of subjects.
**Link's red palette swap in the match references the shield spell Link would cast before the climatic fight; in the game, it would make his tunic turn red.
**The match takes place in the [[Temple]] stage; the background music of the stage is a light, orchestral remix of the Temple theme from ''Zelda II''.
**The description of the Event Match states that Link "has two" dark sides; the significance of this is of debate. Some claim it acts as a reference to the fact that Dark Link's first appearance was in the second Zelda game, though others claim it references that Dark Link made a second appearance in the Zelda series with ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''. However, it could merely be a reference to the fact that Dark Link has two stocks and must therefore be defeated twice.
