Talk:Shadow Link

Redefining Shadow Link?

As we can see with A Link Between Worlds, Shadow Links can exist without the Dark Mirror. Because of this the first paragraph of this page should be edited to compensate for that, but that is not all. Since Shadow Link is no longer dependent on the Dark Mirror's existence, how many of the mentions on the Dark Link page are actually Dark Link? I believe that Link's Shadow is one of the mentions that should be moved to this page as the name is more closely related to Shadow Link than it is to Dark Link. The other mentions on the Dark Link do not have enough information to determine if they are Dark Links or Shadow Links.

It then seems to me that it makes more sense to merge these pages but with a clear understanding of the difference between Dark Link and Shadow Link. I do not expect this to happen though, but we should look at the Dark/Shadow Links that remained unnamed and decide which page they belong to. Dark Mirror's Link (talk) 02:39, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Shadow Link in ALBW is specifically a extra-universe interface meant to display a game mechanic; he has no impact on the story, only appears during game communication, and is specifically designed to have no affect on gameplay. If we included him as canon, then the concept of "Streetpass" would have to be canon as well, which obviously makes no sense.KrytenKoro (talk) 05:08, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

playable boss?

'shadow link is the only playable boss in the series'. aren't ganondorf and ghirahm playable in hyrule warriors? The Super Smasher (talk) 12:00, 7 August 2014 (UTC)

Depends if they're there when the game actually comes out. I would be very wary of changing articles based on pre-release information, personally.KrytenKoro (talk) 13:31, 11 August 2014 (UTC)

Shadow Link vs. Dark Link

Why is this page separate from Dark Link? Aren't they pretty much the same in everything but name? The Gift (talk) 18:54, 14 June 2015 (UTC)
