Travis Touchdown vs. Link
Travis is out of money for videogames and the Assassins Association doesn't have any hit jobs for him to do. Travis notices an elf with lots of rupees. He wants them but Link says no. Now the two wanna fight eachother over the rupees.
Travis is from NMH1 and has the Beam Katana (which is fully charged and requires neither batteries nor recharging) in this match. Link is from Twilight Princess and has only the Master Sword, nothing else.
In case nobody knows how well Travis fights, this is him battling Helter Skelter:
Who will win this fight, the Otaku Assassin or the Hero of Hyrule?
In sheer swordsmanship, Travis curbs this fight against pretty much any Link. Faster by feats (not even counting his Darkside mode powers which, among other things, slows down time, and making him faster), better reaction speed (casual bullet-timer), as well as agility (can jump a good several hundred yards in the air), and has a wholly higher default damage soak.
Instead of going with your first instinct, try a little research onto what it actually is. Aside from the fact that it has Travis being able to counter after any move (coupled with his superior reaction speed, and the fact that the Mortal Draw CAN be blocked by the likes of oversized lizards and bulky knights), he also moves so fast to the point that his enemies are virtually slowed down in time. Hell, Link's Great Spin doesn't even hold a candle to Travis' Gooseberry Sugar Donut.

I lol'd, I love NMH "Do a little research".. Yeah.
No. Nothing in TP can block the mortal draw, btw, go try again.
And nah. To be perfectly honest, things like Dark Link, who admittedly isn't in TP, but I'm bringing him up anyway, embarrass Travis in terms of a straight up sword fight. I'll call it slightly relevant though, because TP Link was trained by the d00d what beat Dark Link.
But in the end, it comes down to: Beam Katana's can be blocked, he's not gonna hurt Link, and Link can swing his sword in 0.003 of a second, and has the mortal draw. To compound things, Travis is extremely dull-witted. The mortal draw would rape him.

Dinalfos and Darknuts block the Mortal Draw practically by default first of all (as well as moves like the Back Slice)
And no, there are assassins who Travis fights that piss on even your speculative estimates of feats of characters that were equally featless by comparison to what's in NMH and NMH2. Shinobu, for example, even in the first game was fast enough attack at speeds so fast that she essentially made after-images doing the same thing. In NMH2 she's so fast that she can draw her sword and slice of a cyborg's hand while shaking it with the other before they can either notice or unleash their cheap shot. Hell, Shinobu would own Link in a swordfight too. Don't get me started on Henry who's at least equal to Travis. What the beam katana can cut through doesn't matter for Link, as he'll have been dismembered before he can reach his handle to even execute the Mortal Draw.
And if by dull-witted, you mean alert enough to block bullets on a casual basis, slice with percision that he can decapitate someone so cleanly that their head lands right back on thier shoulders and they can stay alive as if it weren't even cut off, swing his sword at speeds that leave the victims caught in it a bunch of finely cut pieces, and dodge a satellite-launched laser aimed directly at him, then sure, 'dull'. Travis being a crude, nerdy, foul-mouthed pissant (I love that guy) =/= dull wit.
I have a feeling I didn't. I bought the ordinary commercialized one developed by Nintendo and sold at local electronics stores since 2006 as opposed to the hyperbole black market where you lollovelink people seemed to have gotten yours.

No, they do not. I suggest you go play again. I used to beat the cave of ordeals by abusing this little trick.
Lol? Nah, man. Hell, Majora left after images, and a ten year old Link without any amps could keep up with him. Also, the beam katana can be blocked with Baseball bats, GJ. He's not cutting Link with it.
Reaction time =/= wits. The guy, awesome as he is, is a dumbass. Wouldn't anticipate the strike.

You forget that Majora's Incarnation is an idiot. While he/she is pretty fast, he/she fools around doing dances. He/she begs to be hit. If he/she was smart, he/she would be untouchable by Young Link unless if he goes Fierce Deity.

Can survive hand grenades shown to blow someone's head clean off, and is pretty fast, not particularly strong, dull-witted as hell, and a total jackass, but reacts quickly to things he knows are coming.
IE, can block/dodge bullets, but gets surprise buttsecksed by a crotch gun. Yeah.

"Do a little research".. Yeah.
. Both Dinalfos and Darknuts can die from a Mortal Draw.
