Description
My version of Dark Link for the LoZ villains tribute onAs some of you may already know, I DON'T ever draw Dark Link literally. I took this tribute as an opportunity to expand on my interpretation of him as a combination of my most memorable encounters with him, and how I would like to see him included in future LoZ games. I thought it would be interesting to play with the idea of Dark Link being more substantial than just Link's shadow/evil copy - what if he were to have his own feelings, agendas, etc... and being the evil opposite of Link, and knowing what he knows, I think Dark Link could make one of the most formidable villains that the green clad hero could ever face
Colours borrowed from the Dark Link in Super Smash Bros Brawl with my own adjustments. Setting is that eerie room in one of the Ocarina of Time dungeons where Dark Link is the boss. And I made a point of having him right handed, and holding a dark version of the Master Sword

Yep! That's how they coloured him in SSBB - I only changed the skin and eyes
Thanks!

looks great. I've always liked their swords.
They look sharp as a razor.
And The shield is also luxurious.

Nice job! I absolutely love the shield, and I love how the sword is blurred a little to show action.

You're idea for Dark Link is perfect and I have actually been wanting Nintendo to do the same thing. Dark Link should be given a personality and do his own things nut at the same time, still be Link's evil counterpart.
Anyway, as for the art, very nice. I guess making him right handed was represent that he is supposed to be the opposite of Link in every way. I love it.

Thanks! Glad you agree hehe - I just thought that there could be so much potential to D.Link and if Ninty were to do that then there would be so many happy fans out there *hint hint*

I like your interpretation of Dark Link and agree with you. In Zelda II: Adventure of Link, if I recall correctly, he was one of the hardest final bosses of any Zelda game.

Thanks!

I knew something was up when i first saw this when "Link" looked kinda suspicious and that's why he's right handed and that's why you told me to wait and see

The picture itself is awesome, but the effects on the hat give that mystical quality to him. Nice job!

I get it!! This is so amazing...
For another project (of course, whenever you have time) maybe you could do a picture of when Link runs past the tree in the mini boss room in the Water Temple, and looks over his shoulder to see Dark Link staring at him?
In any case, LOVE this picture <3

haha thanks! I kinda had that idea for this - wondering if I should put Link there in the side like he's facing off against Darky there... but then I made it so that the viewer is seeing D.Link from Link's perspective - maybe he landed awkwardly (as he does sometimes LOL) and that's why it's on an angle XD
