The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina Of Time features the appearance of Dark Link as a mini-boss found in the Water Temple. Dark Link is a reflection of Link, but not just because he is the evil version of the character. More than that, he's a mirror image of Link, making him one of the game's most formidable enemies.

Every move that Link makes against Dark Link is reflected by the enemy, which ultimately results in his ability to defend himself from just about everything thrown his way. Additionally, Dark Link has the same amount of health (Heart Containers) as Link.

To defeat him, the player must hit Dark Link with the Master Sword once for each Heart Container they have, but hitting him is no easy task. When a blow is finally landed, Dark Link falls through the floor and then springs back up to face Link again.

Dark Link begins the fight nearly transparent, but as the battle progresses, he will become opaque. His aggressiveness rises exponentially as this happens while simultaneously becoming weaker. Dark Link is well-known for being one of the hardest mini-bosses in all of gaming, which is why he scored the #1 place on this list!
