No he's not, first off. If Kratos is classifiable as evil by what he's done overall, then I can think of a good half dozen anti-heroes that fit the category moreso. As said prior, Link would be lucky to outmatch Kratos in any category, because he's not goig to be "holdimg him off" for anymore than what few moments it takes for Kratos to overpower him.

I dont think that you, FT, are giving Link due credit. Do you realize how strong he is with the GG on? Its surely nothing to scoff at. Galen is easily screwed by the Mirror Shield.My question is this: What could either of them possibly do to hurt team 1?
Most powerful sorcery: Ganondorf
Most powerful weapon: Master Sword
Invicibility: Ganondorf, Link, God Kratos
Fastest object in play: Link's arrows
Characters fighting with debuffs: Link, Ganondorf
I'm not doing anything to downplay what Link is capable of (hell, the kid's pretty much among my top five favorite VG chars). He's underrated in some senses, but still, by no means is he close to the league of every other character here unless in the composite sense. I've not yet ignored what Link is capable of with the GG, but the thing is that Kratos with his bare hands still has better feats of strength than any Link has ever had with enhancements, and most will argue that Ganon too, is still stronger than Link. I acknowledge what a composite Link is capable of, but also that a singlar Link is maybe low-level metahuman at best, taking on a semi-diety level tyrant and only ever winning through plot device and interventions. Link doesnt have the luxuries of PIS and hyperbole against an actual deity who, as such, shares none of the weaknesses of Link's nemesis, and I'm not about to go assuming that a virtually featless mask can level the playing field for Link.
It would take longer to explain why even all-out, team 1 would be hard pressed to have very many means of doing anything to either on team 2 before they're are mercilessly slaughtered. Or rather Link, at least.
Blade of Olympus is also leagues more powerful than the Master Sword btw. Master Sword's usefulness only comes into play in the midst of athreat of darkness to the kingdom. Aside from sorcery which, in most scenarios if not all do go to Ganon, Kratos has every advantage you stated except for maybe the fastest object in play, which is the Force, which Marek controls.
