Meh, The Link from Zelda II could take on Thrall. This Link has a something called Thunder Spell, and Reflect Spell. The Thunder spell kills all the enemies around Link instantly, and the Reflect Spell does exactly what it's name says. Link also has the Green Holy Ring from the Oracle Games, which negates all damage from electricity, but he won't be needing it really.
hmnmmm a difficult one, i think after a long period of time Link would eventually win but Thrall has some pretty strong powers but isnt exactley one of world of warcrafts most powerful characters
however if he is able to get close, the little dude goes down fast
i dunno, the thread starter didnt really state any powers, he just says Link....hmm...i think Link with just his sword and shield with simple spells would be pwned easily but when Fairies, Masks and all that shit come into it, Thrall would perhaps die...but Warcraft characters have a lot of power within them that doesnt show often, like superman, he looks like a normal man walking along out of his Superman outfit but then he can punch meteors away
the only reason Thrall couldnt beat Ganondorf is the crappy.."only master sword can hurt him", or the "only the light arrows" sort of crap that automatically makes him invulnerable, without them, Ganon would have a hard time thats for sure, Thrall can summon giant spirit wolves, call thunder and lightning, cause earthquakes that split the earth
and thats not taking into account the power of his magic hammer, simply hitting the ground with anger caused it to split and crack under its weight, he has several attacks in world of warcraft but since ime a Horde player ime not 100% sure of what he can do in that
also if you can give link items and such, surely Thrall can have Warcraft items given to him
Here's a radical suggestion. Just once maybe, the two fighters can use each other's weapons.
I could see it now. Thrall using the Master Sword like a dagger, and Link unable to pick up the hammer. And thrall would use the gauntlets to just crush Link.
.... and then Hanson comes and destroys Hyrule and Ogrimmar.
You know what would be a better fight? Hanson vs. Vanilla Ice... but alas, there is no forum for such powerhouse battles... sigh.
so you think the fact that the incrdible Hulks best attempts at basically anything is punching means its weak or pointless? a single hulk punch would probably be so forceful, it would smash his sword, shield and link would explode
Thralls strength isnt Hulks (well...no measurment can say its not or it is) but if hes strong enough to make a massive dent in the ground with a MAGIC hammer, then it makes a diffrence, we dont really know what force that hammer hit Mannaroth with either nor what powers the Hammer has
and what do you mean not given to him, it wouldnt take him much to go get them for this fight
Uh, what? Link has parried countless of strikes, like the ones from Ganon in OOT, he has huge swords which he strikes fast and hard as hell, doesn't budge Link much. And Grom could strike right through Mannaroth, Thrall could barley scratch him! If tossing his hammer is his best attempt, he ain't gonna get Link. Thrall also needed to load up his hammer to do it, he got an arrow in his head at that time.
(As I said, there is nothing that indicates it is to hard for Link to parry, he just puts his shield up and takes the strike with that, he might grind a bit, but that's about it, unless you got something that proves otherwise)
And since when have I said the Hulk's punches are weak? He can ****ing thrash tanks and buildings with his strikes, and lift several million tons. Thrall doesn't even compare to the Hulk!
And listen, the items in WC are not canonically given to Thrall (unless it is specified by the author of this thread here), so he cannot just get it. It's like giving Link the triforce because it exists in the game and can be aquired by the one who touches it! So if we're going by those rules, Link has already won!

what proof do you have that Thralls hammer couldnt smash through Link and his shield in one strike, Ganon isnt like Mannoroth, without the crappy "Ganon cannot be defeated by anything other than light arrows" or other such nonsense Mannaroth could probably cleave through both Link and Ganon at the same time
all he has to do is chase down link and crush him...done...unless link uses one of his invulnerability masks or the giant one then Thrall loses, Hellscream would probably be better matchup..or Uther lightbringer or whatever his name is...
It's also hard to judge Link's strengths and abilities in comparison to Thrall. Since specifics aren't given. Hell for all we know, the author of this thread might have meant a horse race, then in which case Link wins, because Thrall doesn't own a horse (to our knowledge). Or maybe a Human-eating contest. (which I think would go to Link as well, based on nothing we've seen from him.)
However here's how I see things... in over-generalized statistics
Raw strength (i.e. no enhancements) = Thrall... easy.
Agility = Link, without question
Intelligence = Hard to measure, but I assume that Thrall can speak Common and Orc, and leads the Orcs (more or less). Where Link does show some cunning, I think Thrall is more intelligent than Link.
Endurance = I think both can last a long time, but as far as phyical punishment goes, I think Thrall can handle pain better than Link.
Abilities = Thrall has a few powerful abilities whereas Link has many minor abilities. I think Link has a few more choices in his arsenal.
The thing that I think will really determine the battle are tactics.
I imagine that Thrall will just do what orcs do best and use concentrated though effectively powerful brute force attacks where Link will certainly use the flighty more sort of hit-and-back-off technique. It's pretty tough to say for sure, but I imagine that Thrall would get the upperhand.
