Dark Link in the OOT Remake
Dark Link is the Water Temple’s mirror-room opponent and guards the route to the Longshot. The figure copies Link’s movements and can be fought with sword attacks, Din’s Fire or the Megaton Hammer. Older guides tie its HP to Link’s hearts; a current remake HP formula is not established in the sources cited here.
Game8 and Zelda Wiki both keep the same mirror-room encounter under a new model. I did not find a source that moves the room or changes the copy behavior, so the 2026 line on this page is "new model only." The Water Temple page is where the Iron Boots and the water level belong. This page is only the duel.
Din’s Fire and the Megaton Hammer provide alternatives to a straightforward sword duel. Keep the encounter separate from the temple’s boots and water-level puzzles, which are covered on the Water Temple page.
