The fighter must defeat Dark Link, who also has two lives. The two swordsmen are fought at the Temple, with no time limit. This Event Match is a reference to the ending of ''[[zeldawiki:Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II: The Adventure of Link]]'', where a similar Dark Link served as the game's final boss. | ||

Link was the first character to be announced for ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. Unlike in previous installments, this Link is the "Hero of Twilight", the descendant of the Hero of Time and the protagonist of ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess|The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess]]''. This Link's moveset also references ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'' in a number of ways. The bow (now called "Hero's Bow") and bombs have been aesthetically updated to match their ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'' designs, while the boomerang has been replaced with the [[#Gale Boomerang|Gale Boomerang]], which generates a whirlwind that can drag in opponents as it returns. The Hookshot has also been replaced with the [[zeldawiki:Clawshot|Clawshot]] from ''The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess'', which, when used offstage, can home in on edges and grab them unlike the Hookshot; however, it is now a tether recovery, as opposed to a wall grapple. Dark Link also appears in the game, both as one of Link's alternative colors and as an opponent in an Event Match. The "Hero of Winds" from ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker|The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker]]'' also appears in the game as a playable character under the name [[Toon Link]], complete with a moveset very similar to Link's. | Link was the first character to be announced for ''[[Super Smash Bros.

In version 2.0 of ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', the player transforms into Link upon collecting the [[Master Sword]] power-up.

Link reappears in the [[Nintendo Switch]] game ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', available as part of the base game. He is available from the start, and is still among the lightest heavyweight characters, sharing his statistics with Rosalina, [[King Boo]], and [[Pauline]]. The game's July 2018 update also added the Hero of the Wild from ''The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild'', alongside the [[Master Cycle Zero]], [[Ancient Tires]], and [[Paraglider (The Legend of Zelda)|Paraglider]] parts. Upon being added, the Hero of the Wild became the default Link, while the Hero of the Skies was relegated to being an alternate character. Like the Hero of the Skies, the Hero of the Wild is left-handed despite being right-handed in his respective game; however, they also share the same voice actor. | Link reappears in the [[Nintendo Switch]] game ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', available as part of the base game.
