The spear moblins can be stunned with the Boomerang, and once the stun expires, they will run around and charge in an attempt to hit Link. However, because Dark Link has no animation for getting hit while swimming, it will instead cause him to slowly float to the sky. If you are Young Link, Dark Link can also use crawling holes. Seeing as the actor is just a shell which inputs buttons to the Link actor, Dark Link can also swim and dive in water, as well as climb ledges. This behavior can, however, be seen in the Master Quest version, since the Longshot is obtained much earlier in the Water Temple, before Dark Link is fought. Notably, he reacts to the player casting Nayru's Love, which will cause him to shield a lot and generally get out of the way, even though you cannot normally get that item before defeating Dark Link since it's located outside the Desert Colossus, which requires crossing the Haunted Wasteland, which in turn requires either the Longshot (obtained from beating Dark Link) or Hover Boots (obtained in the Shadow Temple, which can only be accessed after beating the Water Temple).
