Dark Link

Dark Link (also known as Shadow Link or Link's Shadow; in Japan, simply as Doppelgänger) is the evil counterpart of the hero of Hyrule, Link. This shadowy being resembles Link exactly, except for the fact that Dark Link is completely black. Shadow Link is also a master swordsman, just like the original. Dark Link has appeared in Super Smash Bros. Melee as the opponent of Event Match 18: Link's Adventure. In the battle, the player controls a red-clad Link, who has two extra lives. The fighter must defeat Shadow Link, who also has two lives. The two swordsman fought at Hyrule Temple, with no time limit.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Dark Link will be one of Link's Alternative Costumes.
