Link vs. Samus

Seeing as how Samus isn't evil, the master sword will be nothing more than a sharp piece of steel to her. Link's "magic arrows" are nothing but primitive incindiary or chilling weapons to her, and a boomerang is just a toy, little gusts or not. To top it off Link has no superspeed or strength to hope to compete with Samus or even dent her armor, to pit the little guy against her is the epitome of spite.

Link has no strength feats? How's about in TP when he picked up a giant Goron wearing heavy armor and tossed him like a ball? Or when in OoT when he lifted a giant pillar of rock a hundred feet away?

... Why would Link beable to fire off an arrow before Samus fires a beam of energy... ?

And I was under the impression that light arrows only hurt evil.

Samus armor stands up to the frigid vaccum of space and and olten rock deep beneath planets. Link's little sword isn't going to do anything but make a clanging noise.

His ice arrows don;t freeze anything solid, there are plenty of unfreezable opponents in the LoZ games, and once again, Samus isn't evil, and light arrows are only designed for use against evil opponents.

Link goes down hard here.

And Samus armor also protects her from black holes...

Yeah, there we go. Samus Darkburst beam opens up a black hole... What's Link going to do then? Even if he's "invinvible" the infinite gravity will crush him utterly, or he'll just be in suspended aniamtion forever...

He's got no defense.

Link can just use his Orcarina of time to transport Samus to the time that town gets crushed by that moon.

Because obviously Samus will stand in one spot doing nothing while Link gets out his ocarina and plays a ****ing song.

Samus shoves a black hole up his ass 10/10

Can't Link play an orcarina while dodging her attacks?

What game did this all happen in out of curiosity?

Prime 2.

... you can't dodge a black hole.

...When?

I don't remember it. 😐

It's a weapon. The dark burst beam.

Is it even fair to have a weapon that shoots black holes in this fight?

Perfectly, if Link can supposedly go "omgZ invincible" and can teleport people to other places...

Link has in canon never teleported another being anywhere with the Ocarina of Time.

Only himself.

While sexy, the darkburst is not technicly a black hole. Nice try though.

I'm giving Link a 10/5. (And I really like Samus, too.)

The OP made him untouchable with the first post. Giving Link everything he ever aquires in any Zelda game is beyond broken.

Pulling all that crap aside to make it more fair for Samus, my money would still be on the kid with the sharp steel. The mastersword is the sword of evil's bane, and is particularly effective against evil, but it has never been said anywhere, even outside Canon, that it loses any magic properties when swung against an innocent. And in this scenario she isn't, though she isn't evil.

So, I'm bettign he could carve up her armour real nice. Especially given his feats of strength, and that Samus takes damage from ANIMALS. Random wildlife would poke holes in her suit. Or worse! See the Sheegoth, MP:1 which could freeze you solid with it's breath. Link's magic arrows>Sheegoth breath.

I'm afraid Link>Samus. Especially with all his gear. it's simply unfair.

Also, Darkburst=mirrorshield applicable.

Wow. This thread's still around?

Eh.. Link would need the Triforce of Power to stomp her (methinks), which he doesn't have. 😬

I went Canon>Gameplay in another thread and it got dismissed, It appears the rules change from thread to thread.. Going Canon means that Link has diety-esque power and it tosses aside the "Link retsarts every game with three hearts" mechanic. He doesn't need the triforce of power because The triforce of courage not benefitting it's wielder is a common misconception, if that's the case, why can Link even survive fighting Ganondorf who canonicly has power equivelant to a god. The answer? Link's piece also gives him power, albiet in a very different way, more favourable to those who value courage than power. IE, nothing vugar.

Also, Link, canonicly adds the power of each of the sages to his own in OOT. Sages+Magic+Triforce of Courage>Anything Samus is given. And I say again, I really like Samus, lol. I practicly orgasmed over the metroid Prime series. Even ruling out the entire triforce doesn't mean Link loses. And Darkburst=mirrorshield applicable is easy to explain.

Metroid Prime:2 Echoes was based on a Dark/Light axis, obviously, and the beam weapons reflected this. The light and darkness can both technicly be reproduced in a mirror, even though darkness is the absense of light, if you cast a shadow on a mirrow that is reflecting on the floor, the shadow, essentially darkness, will also be reflected as an absense of light. So, logicly, Mirrorshield>Darkburst. Especially if it can reflect such rediculous things as FIRE and ICE. And don't give me that "his reactions are too slow" crap. He's already proven to have beyond human physical attributes and it doesn't take a genius to lift a shield when Smus raises her arm cannon.
