Gender: Male Location: 1/9.7'rd Horseman of the Apocalypse
The canon version of TP has him left handed, that is to say, the GC version.
Edit: While I'm here I'm going to prove Link has super human reaction time.
In Majora's Mask Link faces Majora's three incarnations, one of which has some VERY scarey whips, now Majora's already a crazy powerful being about to destroy the planet, easily on super human levels. Now let's look at whips..
The crack of a whip is actually a sonic boom as the whip breaks the sound barrier, interesting, eh? This is just in th hands of a regular human.
Another factor is the length of the whip, the longer the whip is the faster it's tip is moving! This is because when you swing something, for example a sword, the section closest to your shoulder has a shorter distance to go in the same time. In the case of Majora's extremely long, powerful, magicly enhanced whips, these were easily moving at super sonic speeds, and Link dodged them capably as a child! Impressive? Hell yes.

"Some common whips such as the bullwhip or sparewhip are able to move faster than sound: the tip of the whip breaks the sound barrier and causes a sharp crackâliterally a sonic boom."

Read the article, it's in the first part very early on. =/ I can get more sources if you want, lol. It's common knowledge really,and was even on mythbusters.

In the case of Majora's whips sheer length would result in more than just the very tip moving at super sonci speed, and OBVIOUSLY the part closest to Majora can;t move that fast as it has not NEAR the same distance to travel in the same distance of time. That;s basic physics. o_o that's like gauging the speed of it by it's handle, the attack itself is still on sonic levels, and still has to be dodge by Link, which it was.

Yes it did, lol. It might not have sounded the exact same but hey, such was the N64. it did have the crack though, I remember it specificly because I'm an audiophile and the ambience and SFX of Zelda games always made me enjoy the games more, lol.

an old reference says an "average" granite has a density of about 166.5 lb. per cubic foot, or about 2.6 times what the same volume of water would weigh. If its what commercial stone dealers call a "black granite" the density would likely be much higher."
(please log in to view the image)
K, working with only what we can SEE in this image, let's assume conservatively that Link is slightly above average height, around 6'2" or more seems reasonable, so we'll go with six. this rock is aprox 12208.32 cubic feet in volume. (JUST the visible part in the pic, not including the top half.) Now, if that means the average weight of white granite is 166.5 lbs per cubic foot... *math* 2032685.28 Lbs. That's the weight of JUST the visible portion of the pillar if we assume Link is 6' and the stone is light granite as opposed to black granite.
If a ton is 2000 lbs thats 1016.3 tons. and he THROWS IT.
Now I have to find something on black granite because that's the stone the pillars in OoT closest resemble.
BLACK GRANITE!
Math time. 12208.32 (volume in cubic feet) x 179 (lbs per cubic foot) = 2185289.28 lbs. Just the visible portion. Link. Is. Amazing.. I didn't expect it to be THAT heavy.. wtf.. 1096.64 tons. .
Link like many others who are brought up has his own multiple forms to be able to shape shift and his strength as Goron Link is able to take down a Mechanical-Organic giant, super bull with his body alone. Not to mention the giant slabs he is able to punch away with ease while in the dungeon.
endurance:
Link surviving an explosion he took a point blank radius while still inside the Moon, that eventually disintegrated it (this scene is done in slow motion, rainbow is there for happy ending effects) Now 'Dawn of A New Day' is easily translated into only a few minutes time since with the Moon destroyed the Day would be immediate.
Link fell from that height of the Moon after surviving the explosion and the only counter argument to that has been there is no crater where he landed. Well last I checked if a humanoid is dropped from any height, extreme or not, there is no crater of impact because they are not heavy in weight. The explosion radius is clearly contained with in the Moon and so inertia kicks in and is canceled. So force of impact is all with in that moment of explosion, then Link would simply drop from the point there after.
example: suicide victims of 9/11 did not create craters and fell from greater heights.
another one is that as young Link, by only using the Hylian Shield on his back while crouching alone can withstand the pressure and weight of the King Dodongo. That is only his young body with out fully being physically developed it both situations.
Speed;Agility;Reflex:
Also noted in this fight that Majora uses whip based weapons that are able to travel faster then the speed of sound. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_barrier That means those attacks from Majora break the sound barrier, which means they are faster then the speed of sound, and Link can react and dodge them accordingly. Link is faster then the speed of what it takes to break the sound barrier. And thus upon breaking it, and Link showing he can dodge them with ease proves his speed, agility and reflex all in one go. Young Link, Adult Link or any of his forms would all be capable of this respectively.
LINK's abilities:
Link is the hero of time with many abilities.
Link is an exceptional swordsman. His skill with various weapons and items allows him to easily adapt and master each new tool he acquires and employ them in battles. Link shows himself to be an excellent marksman. Including but not restricted to with a Bow and Arrow, Boomerang, Slingshot, HookShot, ClawShot etc. etc.
Link is also very agile, proven as he is able to perform back-flips and somersaults with ease to dodge his enemies' attacks at the very start of his adventures.
Additionally, Link has proven to be very strong physically, as he is usually able to move heavy objects and overpower larger enemies rather easily. Along the fact his power to ride a giant Boar, and his horseback riding skills are impeccable.
In the "Oracle of Seasons", Link is shown to have at least some skills in hand-to-hand combat with the boxing mini-game and in Twilight Princess, he is taught the art of sumo wrestling by the mayor of Ordon Village; proving Link isn't completely defenseless without a weapon.
Link even uses magic in the form of spells. On several occasions he has even been able to shape shift into another form including a fairy, bunny, wolf, Deku, Goron, Zora, a Giant, and a Deity.
Finally, he is endowed with the powers of the Triforce of Courage.

for the sake of length I have not gone to deeply into each specific Link by assuming all the basics are kept through out each one.
Gender: Unspecified Location: Where the Sheikah Things Are
I'd do it if I was allowed to make a new respect thread for Link. It would be super easy to be honest.
and there is actually a really easy time line theory to go by in which there is just one Link. Even up from OoT to TP but I'd have to boggle your minds with simple time paradox understandings and probably waste time.
But, umm if I wont get reported for it. I'll make a new, more sensible and organized Link respect thread.
E D I T: actually I'd probably give all the information to some one else who actually likes Link and have them post it and run it because I do like LoZ: I just don't have a big boner for Link.
I don't remember the rules, but I don't see the problem with it.
The Comics Respect Forum has different threads for different versions. However some might get out of hand and start posting stupid shit like "Respect Marvel vs Capcom 2 Ryu." That would honestly suck. However since Link has so many different incarnations that are all different(except OoT/MM Link) I think it would work.
BTW good job posting those feats. You and Eneru have done a nice job showing what Link has done.
Gender: Unspecified Location: Where the Sheikah Things Are
well not only the OoT and Majora's Mask Link are the one and the same (along with easily chained other games with very reasonable census of agreement) with the same universe and time Line, but the A Link to the Past is the same one that fights and goes to find and destroy Soul Edge in Soul Calibur 2, based on clear given background facts that I can quote.
Umm...I'll let scream paste have some posts later and he can do one up. This won't be for a while since I want to work on my own favorite gaming character Respect thread first, since she's awesome.
