*The best combo to use is a [[Gale Boomerang]] followed by a Chain Grab. If you are lucky, the boomerang will go through him twice, and your grab should inflict 20-30 damage. Keep in mind that once he gets above 50 damage, he gets tougher!

*Using your down aerial can hit him easily, and it can be hard for him to dodge.

*One popular and easy strategy is to use the stage's advantage of the ability to walk directly to the blast line. Simply walk to the end of the bridge until you're offscreen (but not past the blast line), and when the dark Link walks towards you, grab him with your chain and throw him back, past the blast line.
