Twilight Princess Link vs. Ocarina of Time Link

about the magic armour...if both link did everything in their adventure, tp link wouldve freed whatsisname by killing all 60 poes, granting him infinite rupees 😄
also, about the wolf..wolf/link could dodge things that moved as fast or faster than arrows eg. he dodged arrows that were aimed by expert marksmen, people who were just as good with bows as link...and they could dodge an attack from a poe, which is bloody lightning (unless ive got some kind of glitch that makes them superfast, which i doubt)..
i must admit the biggoron sword was partially gameplay, but without the gauntlets TP link wins the strength department..anyone who can stop a charge from a goat, a giant goron and gannondorf, and weild a bloody flail as large as lnik himself is friggin strong..

You have not done that part in the game have you? TP Link doesn't get unlimited rupees, he can just go there, ask the guy and get 200 rupees each time, it's not unlimited, it's just that he can aquire so much rupees everytime he goes there. NOT valuable in a duel that is, it would be like if Link in OOT went into a magic shop, bought a green potion and refilled his magic, then went out again to make Nayru's love for the fifth time or so....

You're kidding right? Those petty orcs as good marksmen as Link? Please OOT Link could shoot an arrow up to the sun...
And OOT Link shoots way to fast, he can shoot twice the speed TP Link shoots at, the arrows goes fast forward. The wolf does not move that fast, what you avoid is totally gameplay, but the wolf cannot and will not dodge all that. To Link's defence, I can say he hits those small crows flying in the air, that'll be damn harder than hitting a wolf directly in front of him.

And what's the ghost thing? They don't move fast at all............. 😕

And I agree, if he did not have gauntlets then TP Link would have a little strenght advantage, but now he has the gauntlets so it doesn't matter. OOT Link has a HUGE strenght advantage...

I'm actually amazed at the flow of faulty reasoning supporting TP Link.. -.O;

Congratulations, I joined this forum just to argue in this thread.

"Better swordsman!" Er.. Pure gameplay. Sorry. The stalfos teaching him the skills innitially remarks he doesn't deserve to wear the hero's tunic (OOT Link's!) and many would speculate that the Stalfos IS OOT Link attempting to aid the new hero. .. Ever try attacking that Stalfos with TP Link in a way he didn't ask you to? You got RAPED.

So, they're either even, or OOT Link wins swordsmanship.

Masersword=Mastersword. Next.

Archery? Tie again, TP Link does kool crap, yes, but as was mentioned, OOT Link fires an Arrow to the SUN. Does the gerudo archery course, ect.

OOT Link=Silver hearts. TP Link.. Well no.

OOT Link=Gauntlets O' sexiness. TP Link gets to be a wolf with Midna on his back.

The wolf's insta kill moves? GAMEPLAY, it was to make the shadowbeast fights easy on Zelda nubs =/ Sorry folks.

OOT Link has magic, and bombchus, TP Link gets bomb arrows.

All in all I can't imagine TP Link besting OOT Link. Maybe I'm old and biased, too though. OOT Link's been my favorite since I got my hands on a pre-ordered copy of OOT.

The first (chronologicly, not 8-bit) Link seems to have been the most powerful Link, and to me that makes sense, first mortal being to earn the triforce of courage? Pwnsauce.

If it came down to a duel, I honestly think the beginning would resemble OOT's Ganon fight where ganon disarms OOT Link of the master sword, except now it's OOT Link disarming TP Link because of how rediculously imbalanced the fight is. Then ending something like the first time a Zelda player gets to the end of level nine without the silver arrows and how no clue wtf is happening. (lol, it happened to me as a child, and scarred me for life..) except here it's OOT Link toying with his descendant.

No offense to TP fans, but without gameplay arguments, this is simply an unbalanced match. I loved TP, great game, and cell shading is still blasphemy in my eyes! (/random) The fact is, ALttP Link is clearly>WW Link, unless you count that WW Link can do parry attacks and other bullnini that came from /gameplay/.

It's all relative. Right now TP is the newest full fledge Zelda game, naturally there are stil lecstatic fans who think TP>all. But once that calms down, TP Link will rest along side his blonde and brown (and pink..?)haired brethren somewhere between ALttP and 8 Bit Link. .. Actually, come to think of it, technicly if you count AoL, 8 bit Link=also incredibly tough, as he's the one to finally kill Dark Link. I'm going to go contemplate 8 bit vs 64 bit Link. That seems to be the only real fair fight, is the first and last Links, and maybe the Pink haired fellow from ALttP, though he seems a bit behind on the power curve.

Maybe TP Link vs all four Four Swords Links? Now that'd be interestign to argue.

Individually TP Link is definately stronger, but, four sword wielding midgets with floppy hats is a menace to anyone.
Anyway, /nerded.

I win, OOT Link wins, and you all owe me the last ten minutes of my life back DX

im gonna forgive you for reviving this, since your a newbie, but might i suggest not doing it again??
it generally pisses off the majority of people here 😬

I'm not sure how old it was, lol. I found it in a google search, still, noted. Apologies =p.

Yeah, because it's not like there's a date to each post. 🙄

Erm, no, TP Link being the better swordsman is fact. He simply has skills OoT Link does not. Taught to him by the Hero's Shade, who I would assume is one of the first Hylian Knights (because there's no concrete evidence that he could be OoT Link).

OoT Link's swordsmanship is entirely self-taught. And when you get right down to it, is simply swinging a long bit of metal around. TP Link, however, learns actual techniques from one of, if not the best swordmaster ever to live in Hyrule.

Even WW Link is a more accomplished swordsman than OoT Link.

OoT Link's advantage in this match is magic. TP Link doesn't use magic at all, while OoT Link has the magic arrows and can use Din's Fire and Nayru's Love to great success.

However Nayru's Love is time-limited, and TP Link's Magic Armor negates all damage as long as he's got rupees to run it.

All in all, it's a very close match, and I think TP Link just edges out because of blade superiority.

i was going post, but that kinda says what i would say 😬
gj 😛

Yeah, and you forgot to mention TP Link would rip OoT Link's arms off. He is far stronger.

^If by natural strength, then yeah pretty much. But if you include the silver/golden gauntlets, then I wouldn't be one to agree. Otherwise, TP Link's done alot more feats of strength (even though "rip OOT Link's arms off" is a total exagerration). As for "strong" (as in hefty n' tough) weapons, the Ball & Chain kicks the Megaton Hammer's ass in so many ways. Gameplaywise, it practically made bombs/bomb arrows obsolete (granted, the Megaton Hammer could also break boulders that bombs couldn't, but that's about all that the hammer matches with the ball).

In terms of skills with the sword, the only way OOT Link would be better is if that whole "Hero's Shade is OOT Link" rumor is true (I don't care how many people use "gameplay" as a counter--Zelda isn't a japanese action RPG, where everyone's battle prowess is exagerrated ten fold in battle). Otherwise TP Link's sword skills are the best of any Link that was given the privelege of three dimensions--he learned seven effective skills that show peak physical performance (and some slightly-above-human abilities), was already trained for God knows how long (already starting off in his game at around the same age as OOT Adult Link), fought Ganondorf more time at once than almost any other Link did, and defeated him in a sword-only duel on his own (OOT Link needed several items and Zelda to keep Ganondorf pinned at the end, and WW Link was backed up by Zelda with Light arrows--in TP Zelda only used them in the second-to-last part of the battle. Afterwards, it was Link and Link alone).

the hero shade is more likely one of the great hylian knights whom the links are a decended from 😬

Well like I said, I'm only assuming IF the Hero's Shade really was OOT Link which to fans, is backed up by I think the songs the character plays(howls), and the fact that he has a wolf as his alternate form (the reason Link became a wolf, according to Faron, is because it was a sign that he was the one destined to save Hyrule, and the Hero's Shade also comments that he "accepted life as the hero", then again, TP Link's trifoce marking also implied that).

id say the armour was a dead give - away 😬

...that is was some ancient soldier and not OOT Link? True, it didn't look two sh*ts like OOT Link (or any other for that matter), but some people never really bother with aesthetic appearances to contribute to their judgements anyway...

What matters though is that Hero's Shade is a pwnage character who got unappreciative amounts screen time 💃

TP Link was able to push Ganon back in a swordlock, show any other Link that can say that. Granted, Ganon prolly wasn't in top shape, but still.

TP Link also had help though, all 3D Links needed help to defeat Ganon.

not finished TP as of yet, im asking ppl is it a bigger game, as in Hyrule Field, Lake Hylia size, than OOT?

its huge compared to OOT ✅

But the field itself is broken up into "sections" so to say, connected via qucki narro roads (as opposed to just one big hunk of land like in OOT, but at least one section is at least the size of, if not a tad bigger than OOT's Hyrule Field).

I think the fight should be a duel. No magic armour, no nayrus love just a fair sword fight. TP link would would win because he is a better swordsman.

TP Link wins this...pretty easily actually. OoT Link has no formal sword training or...really anything where as TP Link was trained to use a sword by a swords master and the Golden Wolf. Not to mention his strength is far superior than OoT Link's. He was able to toss around that giant Goron with little ease...not to mention he was able to best Ganondorf in a swordfight.

Plus his wolf form is shown to have amazing strength. He barely budged from a full on charging Ganon. That would be like a cat stopping a truck. TP Link is the superior of the two in all areas.
