He will dodge it and will be vulnerable to a sword strike just before he lands from his evasive maneuver. Another easy way to defeat him is to shoot at him with the Hookshot. The amount of damage needed to defeat Dark Link is equal to Link's current number of Heart Containers, making the fight easier the fewer Heart Containers Link has. The easiest ways to hit him using only the Master Sword is to Z-target him and swing three times rapidly (the third swing will be in the opposite direction of the first two), scoring a hit almost every time, and to attack him without Z-targeting at all. Using either one can be risky, however, as Link cannot use a Shield when wielding these weapons. Biggoron's Sword and the Giant's Knife also work well in this fight, as Dark Link cannot block strikes from these long weapons very easily. This strategy requires you to slash him once with your sword at the very beginning of the fight. The easiest way to defeat Dark Link is with the Megaton Hammer, as Dark Link cannot block or mimic its attack. However, Link can make short work of him using Din's Fire, an unblockable attack. Whenever a strike is landed on Dark Link he will drop down through the floor and materialize again right behind Link if Link is standing near the island, but will materialize from the island instead of right behind Link if Link is standing near the edge of the room. For approximately one minute he will be semi-transparent and will not attack Link but will still counter his attacks. Additionally, if Dark Link does this while close to his fully opaque form, he'll also attack Link during the brief moment when he jumps onto Link's sword. He can counter Link's sword attacks easily, and can actually counter Link's stab attack by jumping onto Link's sword, pinning it in place. 3.1 The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time mangaĭark Link can use some of Link's sword attacks and is considered to be one of the most difficult enemies in the game.
