1:22. The Master Sword can't be touched by evil, and Kratos counts under Zelda's general morality scale.
If Midna counts, I'd say Kratos does, too.
And as for Ares, I was under the impression he'd do generally the same things against Link as he did Kratos. So little of the head popping and things, and Link gets Hope.
I could see Kratos running around with the sword stuck in the block of stone, swinging it at people because of how stubborn he is.

Couldn't watch the videos yesterday but I don't see where it explicitly says evil cant touch it? It says it's the sword of evils bane and it just knocks both link and midna back. May not release the tip from the ground or be useable against ganondorf.
Personally I don't think Kratos is all that evil. He's just anger incarnite. He saved greece from the persian invasion and gave up his daughter to save the world from getting destroyed. Moraility wise he's not randomly evil for the sake of it, unlike ganondorf, he just lives in a much harsher world. Wouldn't the MasterSword choose him to take out Ganondorf?
If not does he have to fight barehanded the whole game?!? I remember he got 2 hookshots in TP. Could Kratos possibly attach knives to the tips and use them like the BoC?
It's a couple seconds after the time I gave you, because I was giving the whole description of the sword. The actual quote is at 1:28 where Zelda says, "It is a sacred blade that evil can never touch."
Which leads to a conflict of morality. Anger is a cardinal sin, after all. You could say that Zelda isn't as "harsh" a world as God of War (though not an accurate description), so it tends to judge good and evil as more black and white, with little gray. Twilight Princess was changing that a bit, with Midna falling more under the gray end yet still being affected. And technically, Ganondorf's original goal was to secure Hyrule so that his people wouldn't have to suffer and die in the desert. He had entirely good intentions before his desire to rule Hyrule (and the Triforce) consumed him.
If Kratos grew up in Hyrule he might be able to weild it, but he wouldn't be the brutal sociopath we all know.
He could use the normal non-Master Sword, Ball & Chain, Bow & Arrows, Bombs, Boomerang, etc. and probaly rely on Zelda's Light Aeeows to fight Ganondorf. Or the Clawshots I guess.
But Kratos was around long before the definition of 7 sins unlike link. How could the ms reject him for failing rules he doesn't know of? He was raised in a world that didn't have those definitions.
And also he killed the sisters of fate therefore giving the entire human race freewill. That's pretty meaningfull if you think about it.

Semantics and shenanigans. The sword is sentient and chooses it's wielder, and evil cannot touch it. Kratos is nothing if not a HUGE JERK. The sword and he would not be friends.

But it's true. He's just an angry guy because of how his culture raised him aswell as his harsh world and tramatic experiences. Link would be this way too, if he grew up the way Kratos did.
What does that mean? What happens if he touches it?

No-Limit fallacy for the win. I think he certainly can wield it, then.

Kratos isn't completely evil though. He displayed heroic and courageous virtues from time to time. Is he perfect? No way, but he doesn't come off as evil.
Mastersword shouldn't hold him accountable for not abbiding to standards not present in his times. I think he can at the very least touch it.
