I'm sorry, that's just not true. If a thread is made that offers materials to display Link's best traits and pits him against a character that seems comparable, he will certainly be given his due.
If he's thrown into a thread by someone consistently shown to be above the capabilities he's demonstrated, there is no reason to debate. Goku is capable of destroying planets. Link is not (at least, no single incarnation, and even a composite Link probably doesn't. Maybe). So he loses. It's really kind of rude to make such assumptions.

It is a spite, intentional or not. Goku is able to casually wipe out planets at his base form and is quantifiably much much faster than Link. There isn't a contest here. No one thinks Link would win.
The thing is though, the way Link is presented by fans in other threads suggest that he's "god like", which last time I checked is above planet breaking. Also, doesn't it take a lot of powering up for Goku to destroy a planet? wouldn't that give Link enough time to do something?
If Link is being presented in such a way in other threads, it's because he's been given the capability that allows such discussion, i.e. given the entire Triforce, a known divine artifact of great power.
You stipulated peak Goku. He could destroy the world with a kamehameha wave easily.

I know that there is vs rule against character induced stupidity, but would Goku even resort to blowing up the planet? Lets say he starts off in normal mode, doesn't he usually try normal fighting before going all energy blast? Don't get me wrong, I don't think Link could win, but I think he could last long enough to make things interesting...
Actually, I downgraded him to SS1 and stated that Link has a non-wishing triforce, so I figured it was reasonably fair.
From a punch? Sure, maybe he might tank a punch from Goku and not die. Doesn't matter since Ki is the strongest thing about DBZ anyway. Besides, in one finger, Goku blocked slashes from a guy who cut Freeza in half(who tanked a planet explosion). Link has no chance.

Well, no. Because you cannot beat the game without Link being fired out of a cannon down to earth or high into the sky without harm. There are cutscenes, it's canon.
The gameplay is just that, gameplay, you can beat the game without ever taking damage, it's not mandatory. It's not part of the story, you don't need to do it, there's no reason to include it.
I mean it IS a game, what fun would it be if you couldn't be hurt? Even Kratos gets hurt by mooks in gameplay, and his durability is apparently city-scale.
Link's durability tends to be disagreed on from form to form but most would argue large-building level for most incarnations.

It's an issue I've been having as well. Link can't put down a chicken and succingtly can be destroyed by one, but an orc bashing him does no damage. There has to be a happy medium, which is why the Preconceived notions exist in the first place, and are probably more on par with what he's actually capable of.
