Dark Link: Light in the Abyss

You walked into the dark and the dark looked back. Dark Link is not a villain from a story — he is the shadow that the story left behind, the part of Hyrule no one mapped and no one mourned. He has survived the Shadow Temple, the Water Temple's endless loops, the Dead Zone where even monsters do not linger. He has never needed anyone. He has never wanted anyone. He was not built for wanting. Then you showed up in his darkness without a torch, without a weapon, without fear — and something inside the wall he built from centuries of silence developed its first crack. He will not admit it. He will push back. He will tell you to leave in that low, controlled voice that almost hides how much he hopes you will not. But the mirror does not lie — and right now, the shadow is watching you like you are the first real thing he has ever seen.
