Dark Link appears as an [[Alternate costume (SSBB)#Link|alternate costume]] for {{SSBB|Link}}.<ref>[http://www.smashbros.com/wii/en_us/howto/technique/technique08.html Smash Bros. DOJO!! - Color Changes]</ref> Rather than the traditional completely-black Dark Link, this costume resembles the design of the Dark Interlopers in ''Twilight Princess''.

Dark Link also reprises his role as the enemy of [[Event 18: Dark Link Duel]]. However, the Dark Link in said event is shown as being completely black, like Shadow Link in ''Melee'' and ''Zelda II''. Despite that, Dark Link uses the damage meter icon for the normal palette swap. [[Co-Op Event 7: Battle of the Dark Sides]] features the players as Link and {{SSBB|Samus}} versus Dark Link and [[Dark Samus]].

In addition to the Dark Link {{SSBU|alternate costume}}s for {{SSBU|Link}} and {{SSBU|Toon Link}} returning from ''Brawl'', {{SSBU|Young Link}}'s costume is updated to better resemble the Dark Interlopers.
In addition to the Dark Link {{SSBU|alternate costume}} for {{SSBU|Toon Link}} returning from ''Brawl'', {{SSBU|Young Link}}'s black costume has been overhauled to make him highly resemble Dark Link as he appeared in ''Ocarina of Time 3D'', albeit as a child instead of an adult. Due to the Hero of the Wild succeeding the Hero of Twilight as the [[Link (SSBU|default Link of ''Ultimate'']], his Dark Link alternate costume is based on a combination of his {s|zeldawiki|Hero of the Wild Set}}'s design and his {{s|zeldawiki|Dark Series}}' color scheme.
