Link must go through school at Hogwartz and face all the things Harry did from year 1 to 7 and eventually fight Voldermort. Link has used magic many times before but this time he must rely completely on it as he won't have the Master Sword. (Still has Triforce of Courage)

Harry Potter has been enabled to use the Master Sword but must first use a crappy sword. He will eventually pull out the Master Sword at the Temple of Time if he survives that long. He must undergo the Ocarina of Time story and will atart at age 11 and then fight the second half of the game as 18 year old with Master sword. (Has magic abilities but no wand)

Ask yourselves important questions:

1. What house will Link go into?
2. Will Harry put up with the fairy?
3. Think outside the box.

(I think they can both fulfil each other's journeys but what unexpected twists would there be?)

Harry dies
Link survives

Are we to assume Link receives Voldemort's soul fragment like Harry did?

Both die.

They can both win assuming Harry could mimic Link's physical traits.

Both have similar personal traits; Heroism, bravery, courage etc. Adept against dark foes, using magic and skilled in combat. Both are also skilled riders.

As said, the only real difference is physically. While Link without a sword has the talent to follow Harry's path given the chances he had (all the practice and studying), Harry I feel would have trouble just taking a sword/shield and jumping into life or death combat. Especially for an eleven year old. Only if we were to assume Harry has Link's trait to quickly learn weaponry after obtaining one can I see him also winning.

Link fails at Hogwarts cause he cannot speak and thus cannot cast spells.

And whenever he succeeds in making a potion he'll lift it up into the air and the DUN DA DUN DUUUUUUN music will go off.

Link will pick up a wand and instantly master every aspect of it. He'd likely be a better wizard than Harry.

Just imagine Draco and Link confrontations.

Exactly my thoughts.

Link dies. Harry succeeds.

Even Harry has learned how to use nonverbal spells, and he's a terrible wizard.

Link not only succeeds, he gets valedictorian.

Lol when Link gets the Sword of Gryfindor for fighting Basilisk... HYA HA HYAAAAH!

I think they both succeed. They are both called "The chosen one."

Gannondorf knocks master sword from Harry out of the ring of fire...apparattes to it.

He stops Voldemort in year 1.

You forget his hax ability to master everything he touches.

Dem skills.

That's what school is for.

Half an afternoon of training and Link can out sumowrestle masters.

The first time he picks up a sword he can go toe to toe with elite knights, and learns complicated sword maneuvers after performing them once.

He has mastered several magical artifacts with absolutely no training whatsoever, including magic wands and staves such as the Fire and Ice rods, the Canes of Somaria, Byrna, and Pacci, not to mention Din's Fire, Nayru's Love, and Farore's Wind. He's learned the Bombos, Ether, and Quake spells with their respective medallions.


Link's instant expert tendencies are a known ability of his. He clears this easily.

Harry dies to the first Skulltula, OoT Link was physically superior to a grown ass man at game start. haermm

He learns as any hero but doesn't need much practice in order to defeat Ganondorf.

The first time he picked up a bow he could outshoot people who've used them for years. Again, one practice session with a sword and he can wreck elite soldiers.

Because inhumanly quick skill gain is a thing Link does. It's no surprise that he can someone in a sword fight when he masters it within seconds of picking it up.


So yeah, based on all the magic Link has learned instantly before, it won't take him long to get better at magic than Harry ever was. Maybe better than Voldemort, who knows.

Link can't even get into any of the dormitories.

Poor kid gets expelled in days.

The only thing I'm positive about is that Harry fails. OP states that Link keeps the Triforce of Courage, which will severely hinder Harry, if not stop him from being able to make any significant advancement in Hyrule.

It also ensures that Link winds up in Gryffindor. Assuming he makes it to year two, the sword of Gryffindor replaces a wand as his primary weapon.

Edit: Now that I think of it, taking the ToC outside of Hyrule would technically give Harry the win anyway, since Ganondorf won't be able to reach it and complete the Triforce.

It's a pyyrhic victory. Harry is screwed as to actively stopping 'dorf himself, but with a piece of the Triforce in Potterverse, he'll never achieve his ultimate goal.

Ganondorf can travel between dimensions, all moving a piece there did was either doom the Potterverse or force Link to stop Ganon anyway.

Link might win twice. 131

You're right, I've made a terrible mistake. In which case I change the OP, TOcourage goes back to the sacred Realm waiting for Harry. And Link has to make do with his skills and natural physical awesomeness.

Since we take the average skill level of all players as canon (and considering most people who still play OoT are older now) Link still masters skills within minutes.

Unless the players you're thinking of can't push a button, that's all it takes for Link to learn how to wield a weapon.
