Description *edit 2* Must be in picture-edit mode. I didn't like the style I drew DKL's face so I changed it. He looks soo much more handsome now.

*edit* Fixed some various mistakes that were kindly pointed out to me. *hangs head in shame at not finding them myself*

Every form of Link needs a dark counterpart. Thus, my knight Link has now been made complete with Dark Knight Link.
Being a shadow of Link, Dark Knight Link is extremely stealthy. The only betrayal of his presence is the sound of bone clicking as his 'helmet' wriggles it's fleshless fingers.
His familiar, the vampiric scorpion, attaches itself to his armor and gorges on the blood which continuously flows from the Dark Knight's pierced neck. The parasitic scorpion grows as it feeds, and eventually will become too large to ride on its host. It will then trail the Dark Knight and happily dispatch- and eat- anything alive with red blood.
Dark Knight Link is ambidextrous, wielding the steel whip in his right hand, and the Master Sword in the left. The whip is made of interlocking steel weights that, when cracked, is easily capable of smashing bone and if aimed carefully, decapitation. It's rare that an enemy will survive the whip long enough to force the Dark Knight to use the Master Sword.

"And before his departure, Link was given one last warning:

In the cursed land where the sun does not shine,
Beware of the water where the sky meets the earth.
Shrouded from sight, One waits for you there;
A corrupted reflection, Demon of steel and bone.
The Scourge of Time, High Lord of the Dead,
Wielder of the Master Sword- Against him, none can stand."

"The rattle of bones echoes across the marshes,
The Dark Knight's abroad, and the Dead Army marches."
~ A villager's proverb~

"We are two sides of the same coin, my kin. You fight for life, I fight for death. Life is fragile, Death is eternal. Struggle all you want. In the end, I will claim my victory... even over you."
~ Dark Knight Link~

You are now cursed. You must send this on or you will be killed. Tonight at 12:00am, by Bloody Mary. This is no joke. So don't think you can quickly get out of it and delete it now because Bloody Mary will come to you if you do not send this on. She will slit your throat and your wrists and pull your eyeballs out with a fork. And then hang your dead corpse in your bedroom cupboard or put you under your bed. What's your parents going to do when they find you dead? Won't be funny then, will it? Don't think this is a fake and it's all put on to scare you because your wrong, so very wrong. Want to hear of some of the sad, sad people who lost their lives or have been seriously hurt by this email?

CASE ONE -
Annalise [Surname Removed] :She got this email. Rubbish she thought. She deleted it. And now, Annalise dead.

CASE TWO -
Louise [Surname Removed]: She sent this to only 4 people and when she woke up in the morning her wrists had deep lacerations on each. Luckily there was no pain felt, though she is scarred for life.

CASE THREE -
Thomas [Surname Removed]: He sent this to 5 people. Big mistake. The night Thomas was lying in his bed watching T.V. The clock shows '12:01am'. The T.V misteriously flickered off and Thomas's bedroom lamp flashed on and off several times. It went pitch black, Thomas looked to the left of him and there she was, Bloody Mary standing in white rags. Blood everywhere with a knife in her hand then disappeared. The biggest fright of Thomas's life.

Warning... NEVER look in a mirror and repeat -'Bloody Mary.Bloody Mary.' Bloody Mary... I KILLED YOUR SON' Is it the end for you tonight! YOU ARE NOW CURSED

We strongly advise you to send this email on. It is seriously NO JOKE. We don't want to see another life wasted. ITS YOUR CHOICE... WANNA DIE TONIGHT? If you send this email to...

NO PEOPLE - You're going to die.

1-5 PEOPLE - You're going to either get hurt or get the biggest fright of your life.

5-15 PEOPLE - You will bring your family bad luck and someone close to you will die.

15 -25 OR MORE PEOPLE - You are safe from Bloody Mary

You're welcome. I was just thinking to myself 'If this is what a true Dark Link would be like, what would a Dark Zelda be like?' and that's why I asked. Also I would like to see a counterpart to Ganondorf if at all possible.

Nice picture! Β To be honest, if my version of Dark Link saw that vampiric scorpion ANYWHERE, he would've eaten it for the blood - and nontoxic organs - inside. Β Dark Knight Link probably would've pitched a fit over it. XD

DKL: (Supposed reaction after the scorpion's death): NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOFBGUODSHJIOCDSDJIZXCKODDJDFJDNHIUSDHOFBVFOFBGFHDBNIOFHHNJFKNVCXJDJKOFJGNKCJVNBCGJKNFGDGJ!!!!!! *Attacks in fury* DDDDDDDDDDDDDDIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

DL (My Version): *Unleashes an insane laugh - and snort - before teleporting to an undefined location*

Yes, I made DKL unleash rage gibberish. XD

Just so you know, my version of Dark Link wields the Anti-Master Sword and Interloper Shield, has razor sharp teeth, a forked tongue, is hematophagous, and is mentally insane. Β He's also the Prince of the Second Interloper Empire and is not affilated with Ganondorf (Or Ganondork) in any way.

Absolutely, as long as credit is given for the design, by all means go for it! I'd love to see what you can do with it. If you decide to do it, send a link to the finished design. I'd love to see it!

BrandedDragoon In reply to animetayl [2014-03-04 15:12:26 +0000 UTC]

Absolutely, though I do have two questions. One, for the Scorpion Familiar, is the blood just running down to it or does the familiar have something attached to Dark Knight Link's neck? Second, would adding a chain mail shirt under the tunic be alright?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

animetayl In reply to BrandedDragoon [2014-03-09 11:40:40 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, regarding the scorpion familiar, the 'necklace' around his neck is actually an appendage coming from the scorpion's abdomen that extends out and wraps around the host to pierce it so that blood can be removed. The appendage has all the teeth the scorpion has, so is necessary for blood-letting.

A chain mail shirt would be awesome. He actually does have one on, but it's sleeveless and low-collared so all that can be seen of it is at his hips where his tunic ends. However, having a higher collar or sleeves would be fine as well.

Not to discredit the artwork, for it is beautiful and detailed and all sorts of chilling; but the description sold this piece to me. Absolutely wonderful, and Nayru help me a battle between Link and his Dark Knight counterpart...

I would perform some very dark deeds to witness that. I think I especially like the symbol of the Triforce on his clothing. A mockery? Or a truth? Who can tell?

Shadow Link appears in Ocarina of Time in the second water temple (i think that is the only one but i haven't played all of the games (not all of the handheld one anyway) but that is the only one i have seen him in so far). And OMG SHADOW LINK IS SMEXY AS HELL O.O amazing artwork.
