There was never any doupt sora was phisicaly stronger. My arguement was that he is also an idiot an predictable. Link fought many opponents that are stronger and faster than him, heck even the normal enemies seem stronger sometimes, but link is adaptable and though he may not hold the triforce of wisdom he is a wonderful tactician who could take sora's fancy acrobatics/light show, espicially given his wide inventory.
Well if this was a simple jumping contest sora would crush link. But it's not.
By adaptability i meen strategy. Every one of sora's foes fight just like sora, the blitz with everthing they got then take a brief rest. All sora does is dash and bash, though how complicated this looks varies.
On a different note, what battle has link been in that actually looked like he could win based soley on the facts. Was it the 9 yearold with a knife and some bombs vs. The giant dinosaur that was immune to lava, could breathe fire, and had skinn tough as rock, or was it the. Teen with a bow against the dimension hoping undead lighting shooting phantom with a spear, or maybe the 10 yearold with another knife against the 15 foot tall deity with the agility of a dancer and could summon spider demons? No fight link gets in has the odds in his favor. Unlike sora who was granted ultimate power, link uses his mind to use his enemies weaknesses and sometimes their strengths against them. Why would a boy with a key be so different?

Really now? Aside from Roxas and Xemnas(maybe Riku can be included but I dunno), he really doesn't fight that many people who fight that similarly to him. Sure, Barbosa and Saix kinda do but it is still very distinct.

You seem to be under the delusion that Sora's fights never involve strategy. Many don't, some do, and in the same vein that Link seems to be outclassed by his opponents, so is Sora. The dude took on a Genie and then a God(the first Genie fight involving some strategy while the second...well he just flat out killed something with phenomenal cosmic power) and the second...well he had a strategic fight with Hades too.
Point is, being able to fight strategically is not a deal breaker lol.
By strategy do mean avoiding fireballs, thats not strategy thats common sense.
What i'm saying is that both lunk and sora fougjt higher beings but sora always at the end seems on par or stronger then them and simply overpowers them in the end. Link almost never had that luxary and will probably be more prepared to deal with someone like sora than sora is prepared to deal with someone like link. To me anyway, link almost sees fights like a puzzle while sora sees them like a race. The difference is link can see ways around deffences and powers that sora simply avoids.
Tell me then, what would the strategy be for fighting someone like Sora? Take his weapon? Well he can't do that since the Keyblade just goes right to Sora anyway. Go for the legs and get him on the ground? Well if you can get around the fact that Sora is faster, it still doesn't matter since he can fly. Attack from a distance then? Could work but the kid has had a history of dealing with projectiles so not that hard.
So I'm game to believe Link can use a strategy to win if you can like Sora to an enemy Link has fought and say how Link strategically beat said enemy. Though I doubt the enemy has the same variety of powers as the Keyblade Kid.
Cheat device? How did you get that? Every zelda fight( at least in3d games) is always shoot something or grab something to reveal a weak spot then go crazy with a sword. It's basic gameplay.
Also sora is super strong and fast but he's kinda vunerable. He's no class canon but even if a normal person gets a single decent shot he stumbles around and it takes a few seconds to get his momentum back. He might be able to block most projectiles like links arrows but wider attacks like bombchus and din's fire are another story.

We should make different players canon to characters feats mhmm

Neat.
Sora's block slap is 6.75e8N, GS deflection is 1e9N.
