Dark Link, also known as Shadow Link, is the main antagonist in The Legend of Zelda franchise. He is Link's evil counterpart, usually found in dungeons. His battles often symbolize Link overcoming the darkness within himself. He is the second most recurring villain in the series after only Ganon himself, surpassing even Vaati, however, unlike the first two, Dark Link is never the central villain and is usually a different character in each game.

Despite slight differences in how he is presented across media, Dark Link is one of the most mysterious characters in the entire series, with his origins being inconsistent, if clear at all.
