link may be powerful, but hes only mortal...in comparison to samus he's also fairly slow..
your dark - light thing is slightly flawed 😬..firstly, the darkburst is not a shadow, but a dimensional rift,
And How is he slow compared to Samus? Link's established as super human.
and it doesnt need to be aimed at link, just an area near him, and he'll be sucked to his doom..it is highly unlikely that hell be able to reflect the shield (even if it were possible), as it would take him before it reached him..We already established it is not a black hole. Also, it's a powerful weapon, but it's hardly going to damage Link without a direct hit, nor is it likely to pull him off balance. The pull of those blasts were relatively weak in MP:2 and they only even damaged creatures they hit. And they didn't always suck them in, either, unless it was an instant kill. Link =/= generic space pirate.. Lol. Not to mention the rate of fire on those is pathetic.
he could use one of his items to weigh him down, making him harder to sucked in, but then he's at the mercy of samus' other weapons..id like to see him avoid both the suction of the darkburst and the wide/plasma/wave beam from fusion, or the sonic boom with his normal speed and reflexes, let alone with the weight his heavier items draging him down..
even if the mirror sheild was somehow a threat to samus, she can use the grapple beam's lasso function to rip it out of his hands.. [/B]
Just because ripping shields off of space pirates in MP:3 worked doesn't mean it'd work on Link. If anything, she'd end up with a face full of angry green clad sword wielder and die. GG on pulling the angry kid with a knife in closer to yourself.
Besides which point, the Dark Burst is so slow it's entirely Negligible and should be taken out of this argument altogehter. It takes awhile to charge, and would be far too easy to dodge if the enemy AI worked that way. By the time it's even ready to fire, Samus=sworded. Most of Samus' beam weapons either would do negligible damage to Link or are mirrorshield applicable. And if they're not, he has either a spell or piece of armour to protect himself.
Essentially, if he gets close, she's screwed. And he will, he always does. Another important factor in this argument is Link's durability. It's gone sort of ignored so far, but his base durability is waay up there. If Ganondorf can *obliterate* a sage by punching it, what to you think he can do with a hefty sword swing in his large beastly form? (Think OOT.) If he has the power to tear down an entire castle while theoreticly on his death bed, and yet Link can survive a hit from his most powerful blasts, how can Samus hope to kill Link before he gets in her face and swords her?
Claw/long/hookshot to swording. GAME.
Walk up while her beam charges and sword her. GAME.
Hold up the mirrorshield and wait a minute. GAME.
Pull out the bow, side step the darkburst you're all in love with freeeze her, then walk up to her with the megaton hammer (or ball and chain), and smash her into Samuscicles... or sword her. GAME.
Light arrow=ruined visors. she's blind, quick, SWORD HER. Game..
She has some advantage at range, but not enough to win this for her. Link's tenacity, resourcfulness, endless pocket full of gizmoes, and section of a relic containing deific power are just too much for technology alone to counter. This win goes to Link.
Actually, I'm amazed no one has discussed the setting at all. New York city. This gives Link another advantage, plenty of cover. Plenty.
