Since that first appearance as the big bad, Dark Link has evolved into a staple of Zelda storytelling, from a mysterious opponent in Ocarina’s Water Temple to a fever-dream nightmare in Twilight Princess.

‘Dark Fluid’ Could Bridge the Gap Between Dark Matter and Dark Energy
The topic of dark matter and dark energy has been unraveling for years, as 95% of the universe is made up of the unknown, invisible material that astrophysicists are not able to fully understand.
In a new study from astrophysicist, Jamie Farnes, from Oxford's e-Research Centre at the University of Oxford and published in Astronomy and Astrophysics, there may be a modification to Einstein's theory of general relativity, bringing both dark matter and dark energy into one fluid, negative mass.
Farnes explains that even though dark matter is invisible, it employs a gravitational force on nearby matter that can then be measured. Dark energy on the other hand is a repulsive force that counteracts gravity and makes the universe expand at a much greater rate.
