Giant's Mask still doesn't drain mana... The fight with the giant centipede can go on forver if you want it to, Link stays Giant. The only transforming mask that drains mana is the Fierce Deity. I'd definitely like to know your source for the drainage thing. Cuz if it's not Majora's Mask, I don't even want to see it. The mask is magic, but does not continually sap it from Link.
And yes, Gandalf can die, he just comes back after a lil bit. See "Balrog" from the books. Or movies.
And swipe... yer killin me here. I hate powder kegs with a passion. OniLink by himself would be seriously overpowered by 4 guys at the same time. And without shields, Link wouldn't be fast enough to kill 4 guys before 1 got a hit in.
Link is invincible while Nayru's Love is activated. No magic's gonna overrule a goddess. Light magic does not equal visible light. Link stays immortal.
And yeah, I'm not really trying to change opinions. I just need somewhere to vent my argumentative side. No harm intended, really. I live for the competition!
EDIT: Oh, and even not as an avid BFME player, no game is retarded enough to give a magic user actual instant mana regeneration. It would take time... Time in which your shields would go down and Link would send a light arrow through his brain. Or lop off his head with the helix sword.
