Since he doesn't have a hammer, he can't copy your move. He will eventually attack quite fiercely depending on how dark he becomes, so your best technique is this: get out your hammer and whack him on the head. You could keep attacking him while targeting and hope to get lucky enough to hit him at an angle so he doesn't deflect your attack, although this technique often leads to damaging yourself in the process. The worst thing you can do is look at him and wait. Shadow Link will copy your moves and even mock you by jumping onto your blade and hitting you.
