I love how this shows how versatile of a fighter link is and how he is clever in his fights as well as skilled. When brute force isn't working against this part of himself that seems to embody direct attacks and brutal efficiency, he overcomes it with a diverse tool set and creative problem solving

When I first fought Dark Link is was the hardest fight I'd ever done in a video game. He did so much damage and when he'd jump on top of my stabs, I felt so weak and helpless. Plus him mirroring your attacks and shielding ranged attacks made him feel almost untouchable at times. When I revisited it was an adult, I learnt that you could spam the Megaton Hammer and the fight becomes a cake walk. In a very small way I was kind of hoping that's what would happen here, but I'm pleased you took this approach instead. Reimagining this classic, terrifying fight using the much more versatile combat of BoTW makes it feel even more cool and intense. P.S. the way music is used in this video is very good.
