[QUOTE="Fieari, post: 1787871, member: 16221"] In OoT, if you were standing on a reflective surface (the room in question was mostly covered in a thin layer of water) the Shadow Link (Dark Link?) copied EVERY action you made except Right handed (instead of Link's normal left-handedness) so that you couldn't hit it (every attack parried). In addition, if you DIDN'T attack, it would attack you. While standing on the only non-reflective surface in the room, it's AI got weaker, not copying EVERY action, and making its own attacks less frequently. Additionally, it only copied Link's primary weapon... his sword. If you pulled out another weapon, say, the Megaton Hammer, you could hit it without it attacking back (except for the attacks it makes by its own initiative). Instead of a template or creature, Dark Link would make a better SPELL, perhaps called "Shadow Mirror" or something like that. On the other hand, the Shadow Link from Zelda II: The Adventure of Link was a different beast altogether, and IS deserving of its own template or race. Let me see if I can dig up more details on it.
