Inspired by chapter 39: Their Bleeding Heart of This is an Adjuration

Cannot recommend this fic enough, and if you already have read it and are up to date, I am so sorry, I am suffering right there with you.

CW: Blood and Major Spoilers for chapter 39 under the cut.

@not-freyja you did this to him 💔

So a post I reblogged about no Dark Link in TotK being a missed opportunity got me thinking about how he could've been implemented:

You could find one of those journals in one of the Yiga outposts in the Depths talking about him. Here's how I think it could read:

Spotted the Hero in the Depths today. I attempted to approach while disguised as a member of the Zonai Survey Team.

Bad idea. I was attacked immediately and viciously without hesitation. I barely escaped with my life!

Next Page

That... was not the Hero.

Next Page

Was that the Hero's Shadow spoken of in the old legends? It is said the Shadow would mirror the Hero's appearance and fighting skills... I believe it after that encounter.

Next Page

ATTENTION YIGA CLAN MEMBERS: If you spot this figure during your patrols, DO NOT APPROACH. This 'Shadow' will viciously attack anything and anyone that dares get near, even the Yiga Clan.

Next Page

Beware the Hero's Shadow.

Glory to Master Kohga.

End

Dark Link would be patrolling the Depths, and upon spotting you, he will chase you down and attack, similar to the Gloom Hands. But unlike the Gloom Hands, you cannot escape by climbing to high ground and waiting for him to vanish. He will simply teleport up to you.

You can either deal enough damage to him, which will make him leave and reappear elsewhere in the Depths (like how the Yiga flee when defeated), or you can teleport far enough away so he loses track of you. Thankfully, he will not follow you to the Surface.

If he spots you while you're wearing the Dark Link outfit, he will be temporarily confused, giving you very limited time to run away or hide before he figures it out and starts attacking you. Similar to the Lynel Mask.

Also while you're wearing the Dark Link outfit, the Yiga will not ambush you, because they think you're the Hero's Shadow.

Dark Link's number of hearts will match that of the player's, just like in OoT. The stronger you get, the stronger he gets too.

He would also have the smartest enemy AI in the game, besides Ganondorf himself:

He dodges any thrown items or arrows shot at him, which means he cannot be cheesed with bombs. He will simply hop out of the blast radius before it lands. You must fight him in close melee combat.

He will mirror your strikes perfectly if you fight him with a one-handed sword and shield. However, he only wields a sword and shield, meaning you can attack him more easily with a different weapon, like... oh I don't know... a two-handed hammer? 😉

I'm not entirely sure what he'd drop upon defeat... Maybe his sword and shield?

Anyway, those are my thoughts. I'd love to hear other ideas :)

Chase you are insane for this. Absolute goals.

Awwww thank you so much! And I’ll make sure I get some proper sleep tonight, don’t worry!

I hope you feel better soon! Don’t push yourself too hard, even if I am excited to see what you post next!

Bookbinding is going well! I finally finished one book for Christmas, and I need to redo the cover on one of them, and I haven’t even printed the third yet, that’s this weekend’s job. I can’t post any pictures tho because the recipient follows me on here, and for several reasons I was able to make an author’s copy which makes me feel so guilty. (But if you’re curious I can absolutely message you some pics of how it turned out.)

Hey Gia! How are you doing? Been loving the art you've been making!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH THANK YOU!!! There’s plenty more art where that came from, I have a list of ideas. Including one I think you are really going to like. 😀

I’m very sleep deprived but I’m good! How are you?
