The Dark Mirror is an item from The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures. Stolen by Ganon, it is used to create Shadow Links. The mirror emits a new Shadow Link every time Links kill him, causing the two to meet numerous times throughout the game. In the penultimate stage, The Dark Cloud, Link battles Shadow Link for the final time. In the center of the arena is the Dark Mirror, held by a circular dark portal similar in appearance to a Knight Mark. The Dark Mirror creates an unlimited number of clones of him until it is reclaimed by Princess Zelda, thus allowing Shadow Link to permanently be destroyed.

[edit] In the manga

The Dark Mirror played a similar role in the manga adaption of Four Swords Adventures. Shadow Link was created using it, using its power he was also able to start a volcanic eruption. The Purple Link attempts to destroy it pretending to by allied with Shadow Link, but a bungling Tingle ruins his attempt. Like in the video game, the Dark Mirror revives Shadow Link, although he's only killed once. Later, when the four Links fight Vaati, the Dark Mirror makes it impossible for him to die no matter how much damage he takes. Shadow Link turns against Vaati and Ganon, and he destroys the mirror, despite Vaati's warnings that he would die if the Dark Mirror was destroyed, which turned out to be true.
