Throughout the thousands of years, all the way back to The Legend Of Zelda, there has always been an Anti-Link, and as everyone changes, so did he. With Ruto, I was able to look back into her past and fill in some blanks, and technically I have also done so with Anti-Link. In all of these cases, the Anti-Link incarnations all had something making them the opposite of the current Link incarnation (other than being evil). Meanwhile, Link was controlled by no one and was never upset at being over-looked, because he never was. ![]() He was upset that he merely played the role of a shadow who always follows and is never noticed. Why was Link able to defeat his shadow counter-part if he was stronger? Because over all, power is nothing over the strength one gains through the heart.Īnd Dark Link? He was always under constant control of both Vaati and Ganondorf, not that he was unhappy with his orders. Link chose one path, which meant his shadow chose another. Shadow Link is “what Link might have become had he chosen to fight along side Ganondorf”. However, Ravio is a craven coward and fled to Hyrule to save his own skin, willing to leave everyone else over in Lorule to die. In A Link Between Worlds, Link becomes a true beacon of courage, and travels across parallel worlds just to do what is right. That means, that technically with every re-incarnation of Link, there is a re-incarnation of Anti-Link (to sum it up). In every instance in-game(s), one of these three are supposedly the “opposite” of Link. So how could three characters who have the above-mentioned differences be the same person? I answer that with two simple words: Link Re-Incarnates. (It is later revealed that: Ravio is to Link as Hilda is to Zelda.) 2.įinally, Ravio acts as a simple merchant in A Link Between Worlds, and he actually has no real significance until the end of the game, the only important thing before then that he does is give Link his magic bracelet that let’s him turn into a painting. Shadow Link, from Ocarina of Time, acts as a simple mini-boss in the Water Temple and is never seen again.ĭark Link acts as one of the main antagonists in Four Swords (at least, in the manga), and until his major act of defiance in the end, he is considered public enemy No. So, these three look different, act different, and have very different roles in-game(s). I’m sure most fans would disagree, mostly due to their appearances and different roles in various games (as shown below), but hear me out. So, the reason I chose to feature three people in today’s Spotlight is because technically, they actually are NOT three different people, but the same person. Why three people you ask? Please, allow me to go into detail.įirst, I should warn that THIS POST WILL SHOW SIGNIFICANT SPOILERS TO THE PLOT OF A LINK BETWEEN WORLDS. When Link tries to go near Ravio's Rupee bag in his shop, Ravio gets mad and tells him that there is something more important than life itself in the bag.Hello fans, and welcome back to Character Spotlight! Today we look into the characters Shadow Link, Dark Link, and Ravio.Additionally if Link finds ten Maiamais and owns an item from Ravio's shop, he can take it to Mother Maiamai in order to have the item upgraded. If Link goes to the big bag of rupees he put on one side of the room, Ravio would yell at him not to mess with it. Ravio says that retirement gave him a new outlook on life. Once Link rents all the items, Ravio is seen relaxing on the ground. Unlike the other items, the Sand Rod is originally being rented by Osfala, so Link must first rescue him in Thieves' Hideout before the rod becomes available in Ravio's Shop. Ravio sells Link his first item for half of its price. Link wakes up in his room as Ravio talks a little about his defeat. When Link dies, all rented items are taken by Sheerow, Ravio's bird, and go back to Ravio. However, after Link obtains all three Pendants of Virtue, he can buy items that he can keep permanently. When the shop first opens, Link can only rent items. The store opens after either Link gets the Zora's Flippers, or gets the Power Glove and enters the Death Mountain cave. ![]() Once he is in Link's house for a while, he sets up shop. It starts off when Link meets Ravio and he needs a place to stay. ![]() Ravio's Shop is the central shop in A Link Between Worlds where Link can rent or purchase items for his inventory.
