Originally posted by SuperLuigiumm his power is activate as its a vital part of him. you know his STRENGTH. and nice ignorance again. since you want to play like that then link doesn't get his power(i E his speed or Strength feets)
his powers arent active in this fight either so its basic kratos with a good blade. link wins.

prove me that link beats kratos in a normal fight. Kratos has super strength that stop a collosus from crushing him. he is durable enough to tank a Huge spear from around the world. he reacted to lightning.
that was with his god powers. and this isnt god kratos. this is the kratos that was about to be killed by barbarians.

And "basic" Kratos (the one you play as throughout the games sans his magic spells and extra weapons as per the rules of this thread) has physical strength, resilience, and agility of someone born to a God. Which brings me to my point of Kratos being a demigod. Link's never fought anyone on Kratos' level, let alone does he, or anyone in the league of a singular Link for that matter (and a single Link with only a sword is not much in the long run), stand a chance in a straight-up sword fight.
And no, Kratos isn't evil. He isn't acheiving any of his goals out of maliciousness, sadism, or an intent to rule. Just because life has made him a pride-driven bastard doesn't mean it made him a tyrannical standard villain. Life gives Kratos lemons, but Kratos simply jams them into the eye-sockets of the poor mythical saps that come his way. He works for redemption/revenge/to end the rule of the Gods. Hell, none of the GoW characters are "evil" in a novel sense, the whole series is based on perspective more than black-and-white.
