OOT: Dark Link

[Capt. Zeroth]

Heeeelp me! I'm fighting Dark [Link] in the Water Temple and I'm having some trouble. Its nearly impossible to hit him, is there an easier way? I tried using the megaton hammer, but he just back-flips out of the way. I tried using my giant's knife, but he broke it by standing on it! It broke in half! D: I've heard something about Din's Fire, but what is that, and how do I get it?

[EDIT] How many times does he respawn?

[EDIT2] Never mind, I beat him. ... -.- But I don't think 20 rupees makes up for a 200 rupee sword...

Doesn't the giant thing break anyway the first time you use it?

 

[Dakare]

No, it breaks after 100 slashes. That's why you don't waste the 200 ruppees and just get the biggoron's sword.

But yeah, Din's Fire works really well against him.

 

[Lt_Justin]

if you usesd it 100 time in thin air would it break

 

[Lc Lc]

You need to get the Biggoron's Sword.

Alright, the way I beat Dark Link was I filled my magic bar to max (there are Magic Pots outside of the room) then entered. After the battle started I just kept using Din's Fire until my magic bar emptied once, then I used the Megaton Hammer to smash him. That worked for me.

Another way is to use sword slices, but don't L-Target him. It works but it's a bit harder.
