How to Defeat Dark Link in Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Dark Link has become one of Link's most formidable opponents in the Zelda series. In Ocarina of Time, Link encounters Dark Link in the Water Temple. This enemy will mimic most of Link's attacks, making him very difficult to defeat. The key to defeating Dark Link is using attacks that he cannot mimic.

1
Enter the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time. Get at least one fairy in a bottle and make sure you have a full magic meter. Also bring a bottle of green potion, just in case. You will eventually come to a room that has water on the ground, a tree in the middle and a door past the tree.

2
Walk past the tree to the door. Turn back to the tree and you will see a shadowy figure. Approach him and lock onto him. This will start the battle.

Equip Din's Fire. When Dark Link gets with range of Din's Fire, cast it. This will cause significant damage to Dark Link and he will disappear into the ground. At this point you should probably turn around, as Dark Link usually emerges behind you after going into the floor.

4
Continue to use Din's Fire. If you run out of magic, equip the Megaton Hammer. Dark Link will mock most of your moves, especially with the Master Sword. Since Dark Link cannot mock the Megaton Hammer, you will be able to connect with more hits. The downside however, is you may take more damage.

Equip the Biggoron's Sword (if you've gotten it) if you'd prefer to use it instead of the Megaton Hammer.
-
6
Avoid jabbing with your sword (if you choose to use it). If you jab it, Dark Link will freeze you, jump on your sword and most likely take a swing at you. You won't be able to block his attack if he does this.

Tips & Warnings
Your best bet is to load up on green potion. Din's Fire will be your best weapon against Dark Link. If you have enough magic, you can finish off Dark Link without ever taking a swing.
For more of a challenge, don't equip Din's Fire. This will help you hone your sword skills, as it will be very difficult to defeat Dark Link with only your sword.
Make sure to have fairies when you go into any temple. They will be helpful against Dark Link, especially if you run out of magic.
