1. He is the first truly sentient shadow. Others are usually instinct and some intelligence, but for the most part, are doomed to follow their masters or those who would send them against their masters.
2. He's become sentient because shadows become stronger with more light. Because Link had a lot of light, he was already a powerful shadow. He became sentient because of this Link's particular closeness with Princess Zelda and her light affected him.
3. He does not actually hate the Link(s) or Princess Zelda. He's resentful because he cared about them deeply, but they never acknowledged him.
4. Vio, the purple Link, was his first true friend.
5. While the light will always weaken him, the light only does constant, burning damage because he believes it will do that.
6. His greatest wish is to be acknowledged. Because of this, Leela has gotten his loyalty as she acknowledged what a good job he did during the zombie invasion.
7. Shadow Link makes his own clothes with his shadow magic.
8. His body works how he believes it to work. It can work exactly like a human's body if he wills it too, or it can become a pure shadow.
9. He loves learning and experiencing new things and has gone out of his way to do so.
10. Deep inside, Shadow Link is a good person. While he may make excuses for why he does good things even though he's supposed to be a not nice guy, he does them because he really does want to help.
