Punching power and strength are two totally different things. Link couldn't survive taking those punches.

When they wrestled Link had the boots and they could only push each other.

The ball was moving at him with considerable speed.

The disadvantage was the lack of limbs and footing that came with standing, the feat for Link is stopping, lifting, and throwing the Goron.

He needed gear to do so. This means Link can't do it without the iron boots.

You need more strength to do so is the point because they are resisting.

Makes no sense.

I argue based on how they are portrayed you don't. This was an obvious sign of strength whereas you argue it wasn't. If I asked the creators if this was easy to do or showed strength what do you think they'd say?

I'm well above you.

That difference is the difference between wrestling and throwing, apparently.

Does make sense. You implied a rolling Goron is the same as a sleeping Goron.

You argued Dante could rival Kratos. ๐Ÿ˜

Lol,no.

You need more strength to do so because they are actively resisting then say i fthey were just laying there. This is common sense and the only reason he ever tossed them was they were in ball form he could only shove them when they stood there and actively resisted.

No common sense would be the right answer... you never provided it.

Let me give you another example, and maybe you'll get what they're talking about.... If a ton of rocks and a ton of feathers, rolled into a ball, was dropped off the Empire State Building at the same time, which one would hit the ground first?

The answer would be both. why?
BECAUSE THEY WEIGH THE F***ING SAME!

Lol,no.

No, I gave another comparison entirely. The increase in weight due to the boots made Link able to stop their momentum. That was the only reason he could do so.

He can.

mariofacepalm Link proved to be /stronger/. ๐Ÿ˜

No one could do it without somekind of anchoring, that is HOW PHYSICS WORK. Now, explain how you make the jump of logic that Link can wrestle and throw Gorons, but cannot tear out a human heart? haermm

There's that stupid portrayed word again. That doesn't friggin' mean a damn thing.

Death has no durability feats. Or any feats at all in that game, for that matter. Dante stole his scythe and slashed at him with it. This is enough to kill him. Now, see, this COULD mean Dante is incredibly strong, but for us to make that connection, Death would have to do something great. Like, say, survive on the surface of the sun. Unfortunately, he hasn't done anything like that. Or even anything at all.

Therefore, Death = paper. The scythe is an elaborate pair of broken scissors.

Are you assuming Death is absurdly powerful based on other fiction or something?

1. You need more strength to physically overpower them, yes, but a ball that itself weighs as much as a ton or more rolling at you at at least 40 miles per hour is not very easy to stop, sir.

2. You're not even equal to the dirt on my Converse sir.

He can.

And somehow this takes away from his strength?

No.

i explained why the difficulty was easier in ball form as opposed to them standing up which you have no choice but to agree with.

Link isn't strong enough to stop the momentum without the boots. So he isn't strong enough to do so without the gear needed for the feat. It's made quite clear in the game when Bo is teaching him and swears him to secrecy about how he defeated one.

Neme wears Converse? This topic is infinitely more interesting.

That's flawed logic as well Moo.

Why would you assume Death is that frail? It is the same logic Quan was using.

He would not be able to support his own weight were he that frail.

Yeah.

So? ๐Ÿ˜

Oh, that's true. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

Did we ever see what he was? I've never seen that part. Is he a cloaked figure or a confirmed skeleton underneath a cloak?

Good shoe is a good shoe. Better than the last shoes I had. Vans sucks. Shit fell apart on me.

Link needs to increase his weight to do so it doesn't increase his hand strength. without the increased body weight Link gets harmlessly tossed out the ring.

No, we don't need to see feats to assume something is an obvious test of strength. To suggest it doesn't imply he's strong is asinine.

Prove it weighs a ton or more. We also don't know much weight the boots gave him which made all of this possible.

No. [/B]

Yes, if he could do so on his own with his own body weight then this is what he is capable of. I don't see Bo or Link as being portrayed as strong just skilled enough and smart enough to cheat with the boots.

I also wear converse, my Harley Davidson boots need repairs. >_> Badly.

he sure as hell was in the old rps! XD

How is it asinine? What it is is not assuming Death is incredibly durable. It can imply strength all it wants, but it's not going to be anywhere near as good as you want it to be.

Quan, do not post on this topic again until you grasp basic physics.

Seriously.

From what I read they was talking about weight.

and no I do have a chioce, the impact would be greater because of the speed the Goron was rolling. Imagine trying to push a boulder, and then try imagining stopping one from crushing you flat. Which one would be more difficult?
This is just common sense.

Seconded.
