Dark Link

DARK LINK

Though his minions will be an active part of the story, trying to resurrect him, Ganon would not end up appearing in this game. Instead, your final boss will come from the most unexpected of places: yourself. A shadow would rise, taking on your shape and attacking you with all the weapons and skills you had picked up throughout the game.

This is Dark Link, a recurring motif throughout the series. Mostly presented as simply a mirror version of Link who would fight him with all the same abilities the player has, this character would be an easy echo fighter, were it not for his appearance in Four Swords Adventures, where he acted as a henchman to the villain Vaati, with a few distinct moves of his own.

As a fighter, Dark Link will be a near-clone of Link, with all the same stats across the board and most of his moveset copied one to one. The only major differences will be brought over from Four Swords Adventures, shaking him up just a little bit.

Likelihood rating: Already in (kind of).
