During Link's quest to save the Maidens and Princess Zelda, Shadow Link plagues [[Hyrule]] by terrorizing its citizens, who then blame the Links and demand they fix it. Shadow Links show up repeatedly in each level, often using an item such as [[Fire Rod]] to cause fires or attempting to dash into Link with the [[Pegasus Boots]]. Whenever a Shadow Link is defeated, it leaves behind a big green [[Force Gem]]. | During Link's quest to save the Maidens and Princess Zelda, Shadow Link plagues [[Hyrule]] by terrorizing its citizens, who then blame the Links and demand they fix it.

Shadow Link makes a guest appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''. In this game, whenever the player meets someone via StreetPass who owns the game, a version of the other person's Link joins their game as a Shadow Link who they may fight in a battle. Each player's Shadow Link carries the same armor and sword as they have in the game. They may also dispatch their shadows with two items of choice which the shadows use in battle by speaking with [[Gramps]] in [[Kakariko Village (Four Swords Adventures)|Kakariko Village]]. Players themselves are allowed a choice of two weapons, as well as access to whatever weapon and armor with which they have to defend themselves. If a player successfully defeats Shadow Link, they are rewarded with a bounty dependent on the challenge given by their opponents, including the weapons they have equipped, the number of [[Heart Container]]s they have, and the armor and other gear they possess. | Shadow Link makes a guest appearance in ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds|A Link Between Worlds]]''.
