General
He seems to serve as a doppelgänger of Link. Typically speaking, he is a character foil of Link, who symbolizes the dark or evil side of Link's personality. Dark Link appears in many games. Primarily, each game may have its own single entity of him or individuals of Dark Link, but it is suggested that the same being appears in several games. It is unclear if Dark Link serves under any master or fights on his own accord. Multiple Dark Links have been known to exist at the same time, all of which seem to be separate entities rather than the iconic villain. Some Dark Links have the ability to perform any offensive move that Link has at his disposal. {C Dark Link made cameo appearances in both Melee and Brawl as a opponent. However, in Brawl, players can play as him as a pallette swap for Link.
Changes from Brawl to Crusade
Dark Link plays like Link, being the same as Brawl. Even thought, he is based on the Dark Link you fight on one of Brawl Event Matches, not the Alternate Costume.
Attributes
Dark Link is, exactly the same as Link attribute-wise. While Link has been balanced on the newest demos, he has been ignored, meaning he lacks a boomerang and all of Link changes. Making him weaker than Link.
