I see you're determined to hear my full story. Well, then I should bring out my friend from my next tale.
Yes. He's a shadow like me. You didn't actually think there was only one, did you? Another copy of the fabled hero, scorned for being a creation of Ganondorf. Most shadows are treated that way. But he's not evil. Not to say he wasn't really creepy upon first encounter. But besides that, he's no longer out to kill Link. Or should I say, the Links.
The era of the Four Swordsman. Interrupted by the Fifth Swordsgirl. But everything turned out okay. At least, in my opinion it did. And I doubt Shadow Link here cares to disagree with me. He knows my bark is not nearly as bad as my bite.
