You said that twice before here. We get your point, so don't make a chain of it or you'll just be wasting more space than you already have by mentioning disrespect in a respect thread. That said, whatever qualms you have don't change the fact that Link in TP is still the most expressive, personable, and character/plot-involved Link the series has had yet, and has still done more than other Links with less. As far as plot is concerned, he's the first Link that can actually be called a character and not an avatar.

To a point, yes. MM is where it really began in my opinion, and only grew with each subsequent 3D Zelda, which is good in my opinon.
I'm sorry but that is just completely groundless blasphemy. He's the ONLY one to have EVER had enough expressiveness in spite of his lack of dialogue to actually justify him as a character as evolved from the "link between the player and the game" as he is in comparison to every Link before him, which is by a huge margin frankly. That's not including the fact that he also had the most established history with the most characters from the start. With TP Link, we had a character who was actually personable. With everyone before him, we had a character that had to be fillied in mostly on the player's own accord.

I have more n00z. Because the old numbers for the pillar Link threw mathed it as a cylinder rather than as a prism, I remathed it, VERY thoroughly.
My official number I'm sticking with according to an intensive reworking of the numbers for the pillar thrown in OoT is 1384.994 tons, if Link is six feet all. This was worked out to the pixel. This would be the closest bet to how much the stone actually weighed.... But for purposes of being conservative and low-balling, I mathed it thrice.
For the realistic number, I measured the stone to the PIXEL in a screenshot using Link as a measuring tool, and assumed he's 6' tall. The pillar came out 18.9 [19 for simplicity's sake.] feet in diameter from opposite corners, and because I couldn't get the entire stone in the picture, I undercut the height and made it 60 feet [down rounded to the nearest tenth. Once I had the volume, I mathed it as black granite.
My official "this is the lightest it can be so this is the number I use" weight for the stone is; 1160.858 tons. This is the same formula using a MUCH smaller number for the material variable, I knocked 35 lbs ish off of every cubic foot of the stone.
My official "Fine. I'll go lower, and cut the ends off... -.- Whiner." number is; 1044.772 tons. I cut off three feet from each end, and mathed with the smaller number for this one. If someone still will not accept this number, they're probably not worth debating with because by this point I've handed them 340 tons off of the realistic number.
My "OMG I'm a fanboy!! =D" number is; 1500. Because I like big round numbers. I'll probably never use this one.
Furthermore, I can end the whip argument earlier with a video, you CAN redirect and crack an already extended whip any direction you want, so the Majora fight is an EXCELLENT feat for reaction time.

If a human can do it, by extension a superhuman majora with forty foot prehensile super whips can freakin' do it, and better. D:<!
Thus Link's reflexes are established, and his strength numbers are more polished than before.

Not really, a whip can be cracked at any timr, and Link could not get out of range, and it's not a rope. As soon as the whip is cracked, the tip breaks the sound barrier, this is the attack, not the extension. This is what proves Link's reflexes, as evidenced by the video above, you can't dodge-preemptively if you're still in range.
The current world record for most whip cracks in a single minute is 420.
Just to be a dick, to which Link is this thread referring to?

The funnier answer would have been, "the green, left-handed one".
