You can, I figured it out because I got to that battle with him. I ended up just yelling at him that I love him so much, that he does not have to follow the game's code, how good he was at fighting, and how beautiful his eyes were (because his eyes are a very lovely shade of red) and all. I ended up accidentally hitting him, so I let him kill me because I felt bad. But I then found out how to relive the Dark Link battles, so, yeah. Whenever I battle him, I always talk to him and you probably think I'm really weird right now, but, yeah.
