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


'''Event Match 18: Link's Adventure''' is an [[Event Match]] available in the [[Event Mode]] from [[SSBM]].
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.  


This is simply defeating [[Dark Link]], who is the same as Link except for the fact that he's dark.
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.

The title of this Event Match most likely is a reference to ''[[Zelda II: Adventure of Link]]'', which featured a final battle against Dark Link, as well.
==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.
**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.
*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.


==Strategy==
{{Event Melee}}
Your opponent is a Level 6 CPU Link, although skilled Link players should be able to KO him twice without losing a life. Try to chain grab, then throw up, then Uair until the opponent is at about 150%. Use Dair and the impact sends him flying. Be careful as Shadow Link will return with his second stock. Just shffl or wave dash to avoid any serious attacks. Most importantly, Shadow Link's AI is designed to wait for you to make mistakes and make you pay dearly for them. Try to avoid missed grabs and missed attacks or you will get hit.
 
The best strategy is to stand on the very bottom platform, wait for him to come down, and use a D-tilt when he comes down. It will meteor him to death. You can beat him in under 15 seconds doing this.

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

The player controls red 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.

A similar event with the same number appears in Brawl under the name 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 Pit and Dark Pit and the player controls Dark Pit instead.
