The history of video games is littered with dark versions of the protagonist. This list has seen one or two of these already, but when it comes to legendary mirror enemies, but it's hard to think of one more iconic than Dark Link.

This corrupt reflection of Link, also known as Shadow Link in some instalments, is synonymous with the Nintendo franchise. The character has appeared in some of the best games in the series, such as A Link to the Past, Twilight Princess, Ocarina of Time, and many more.

Dark Link is the ultimate test for Link and the player. They act as an internal battle, with the hero struggling against their own skills as if they're fighting with a mirror.

As a reflection of the iconic swordsman, Dark Link is no stranger to the skills of the hero. This character can wield a sword incredibly well and always provides a tough challenge to overcome.

Being able to stand toe-to-toe with the legendary Hero of Hyrule is no easy feat, but this boss does it easily, seeing as they are, in a twisted way, the same.
