How to Kill Dark Link Without the Hammer

Dark Link first appeared as an antagonist in the "Legend of Zelda" series in 1987 in "Zelda II: The Adventure of Link." He did not appear in a "Legend of Zelda" game again until 1998, in "Ocarina of Time." Dark Link mimics your attacks, making it difficult to connect with a hit, but you can defeat him using weapons other than the Master Sword to make the battle easier. The most recommended weapon is the Megaton Hammer, but if you want a more challenging match, use other weapons in your arsenal.

Things You'll Need

Magic Potions
Fairy
Biggoron Sword

Instructions

- 1
  Stock up on Magic Potions before you go into the fight so you can use your magic spells to deplete Dark Link's life. Fill all four bottles with Magic Potion, if you feel confident that you can kill Dark Link without getting hit too much. Fill three bottles with potions and keep a fairy in the last bottle in case you get knocked out, if you're less confident.
- 2
  Use Din's Fire on Dark Link as many times as you can. This is a somewhat close-range, area-of-effect attack, so you must make sure Dark Link is within reach when you use it. This battle has no time limit. Take your time and make every attack count. Don't waste your magic power or potions on attacks that don't connect.
- 3
  Finish Dark Link off with a few swipes from the Biggoron Sword. If you manage to connect with Din's Fire until all of your magic meter and three Magic Potions are depleted, Dark Link should fall fairly quickly. Avoid using your regular sword to finish him off, because Dark Link mimics your attacks. Get close enough to Dark Link so that your attacks will connect but his won't. The Biggoron Sword is roughly twice as long as the Master Sword, so this should not be a problem. Keep striking until you win the battle.
