Link is more skilled, and Ganon isFAR more durable, so Kratos dies easier.

Proof of Link being stronger? Most of the time link has equipment that assisted him than his natural strength. Kratos overpower a Island sized Hydra.

There's probably not even a boss character in the LoZ series passing a hundred tons. Link has yet to overpower anything on the scale of the Colossus of Rhodes. Who Kratos tossed on its ass. Kratos is stronger.
The Goron in the mines alone was atleast 200 tons, so yeah... About that. Also, Link chucked a thousand ton pillar in OoT.. O: Ganondorf is stronger, and in TP, Link over-powered Ganondorf (who was admittedly weakened.) Link's strong as ****.

Didn't he had equipment asistence for the pillar for I recall. And what Link are we even using?

He did that with gauntlets which is something he doesn't have here if it's only the sword.

I was going with TP Link as he is likely the most skilled in swordplay and is proven to be the physically strongest.

Golden Gauntlets for the pillar, yeah, but I'm pretty sure that's been retconned since TP Link had no amps and over-powered Ganondorf, which is even more impressive.

TP Link is more indept with Tri force of Courage than Oot based on my theory. Seeing as Ganondorf can get more stronger by drawing in the Tri force of power.

Nah, they both had it, I do agree it's the triforce of courage that makes him that strong, though. There's no other explanation.

Island sized Hydra.

The Hydra wasn't as big as an island (I think).

The stoyrline is not made but its developer designed information so Kratos' background may indeed be canon. It was a common occurance in Spartan history anyway.

That doesn't make it canon, and it isn't.

[quote=Ichaos][b]EDIT: Kratos couldn't even "shatter" a regular human.

Again, play the games because you're simply wrong. Hell, the instant kills against the Kratos dopplegangers involves Kratos smashing them to bits with one slam to the ground. Same for the Rhodes soldiers in the beginning of God of War II. Hell, he's turned heads to jam just by stepping on them.[/B][/QUOTE]

Again, that's gameplay.

this is gameplay, but.

Playing as link with the master sword, i got raped by a zombie. stupid. quit the game.

Playing as kratos, i kicked ass.

Not when it's cinematically presented ie nearly all the cnon kills in GoW. All of Link's on the other hand are still gameplay based animations not uniqe to the events at hand, otherwise he'd be able to toss goats and regular Gorons several times as far as Dangoro, who Kratos could nut-shot into the pool of lava if he doesn't just ripout a bolt and jam it down his throat.

It wasn't cinematically presented.

Yeah it was, in the fact that one press warranted an instant kill that provides no requirement of anything like QTEs or such. That's what the majority of kills in GoW revolve around. It's in the same manner that shows at least two Links have an at best low-level metahuman agility.

How is this relevant at all?

And yet, he couldn't even outstrength Icarus or the Sisters of Fate (I think). In sword feats, Ares has nonething. Being a Spartan doesn't mean shit, the Barbarians whooped the shit out of them.

Icarus was nothing but PIS. Besides, it wasn't even much of a boss fight and can be easily won. Being outstrengthed by the Sisters can be possible as they're not mortal. They were supposed to be more powerful than the Greek gods anyway.

What makes you think the Barbarians weren't great warriors themselves?

Atlas never tried to kill Kratos.

Atlas still tries to inflict pain. Try not pressing buttons and you will see blood gush out of Kratos. Him pushing the Titan's fingers to prevent torture is still way beyond anything Link has ever done.


But yeah, Kratos feats aren't actually that incredible strengthwise. 😐 When you actually look at them, Ganon is stronger physicly. He's also far more durable. And Kratos has no feats of swordsmanship, Link does.

You gotta be kidding me. Kratos does far more strength feats than Ganon and Link have done combined. Kratos was trained from birth to become a warrior.


The Mastersword can lay down a seal on the entire sacred realm, that > sealign a few titans.

The Master Sword hasn't shown any sealing on a great scale. In a matter of fact, I don't remember any sealing from that sword. Ganon, in OoT, was sealed by the sages.

That was Kratos with his God of War powers, and he pushed it. But yeah, he struggled to bang those old dudes on that book.

If he banged the old guys without holding back, he would have never had the book read and he would be stuck.

Aside from being stated to be stronger than Link he's punched a floor so hard it collapsed, in OoT, flown throgh a magicly reinforced temple wall in aLttP as a bat. that's like a dove taking out the world trade center.. Disintegrated someone with a punch, ect.

Holy hell, you're taking Ganondorf's feats way out of line. Sure he made the floor collapse but it's much thinner than most of the floors you would usually see. In fact, it's pretty much a bunch of blocks glued together and the punch made them seperate. The pyramid top was pretty thin itself and flying through it is nowhere as destructive as the ridiculous theory that 2 planes made 3 buildings go down demolition style. Anything bigger than a Cyclops could do both of those Ganon feats. Hell, I'd even say Kratos can as well.

Ganondorf killing someone with a punch is impressive but the disintegration was more of how that sage dies. In other words, if I were to shoot him in the head with a Colt Python, the sage would die the same way.


Also, tanking a hit so strong it blew up the castle around him without damage? that's like me kicking you in the nuts so hard your house explodes, and you shrug it off?

WTF? Are you trying to say the Master Sword made the castle blow up?

No, Ganondorf only made his castle collapse so he can take Link with him. He didn't make some atom bomb explosion to do it either.


Spartans > Heroes chosen by the gods with preternatural skill, who are further trained by past heroes? Also, Spartans only ever used small short swords as a sec ondary weapon.. Kratos has no idea how to use somethign that size of a hand and a half sword like the Master sword, or somethign as big as the BoO.

If Kratos can wield a pair of short swords connected to chains, a heavy hammer, an oversized gauntlet, a magical spear, and huge scimitar with great skill, he can wield the Master Sword with ease.

Fact of the matter is, one stab in the face is all it will take for Kratos to die. Again.

Kratos can just parry it with the Golden Fleece and then rip Link's head off. Or he can go Rage of the Titans and set Link ablaze.

Kratos can also die by touching Link's weapon. Also, Link has the weight advantage on Kratos via IB.

Complete BS. There is not one time where anyone has died in one hit from the Master Sword other than weak enemies.

If Link used the Iron Boots, that only makes it easier for Kratos rip his torso off.

The Master Sword seals the door to the Sacred Realm which is the home of the Triforce. That shit is one strong seal.

And in Wind Waker it is the seal keeping down most of Ganon's power which is possibly more incredible than the Sacred realm seal.

Iron Boots are not needed, nor are they in this damn thread. >_> Wow, and then you wanted Kratos to use the Golden Fleece. Lol.

Damn it Sin, I don't even want to finish reading your post. You think shin tried to say that the MS blew up Hyrule Castle. >_>

No, it wasn't PIS. "Can be". They're not that strong, if strong at all (and yet, they outstrength Kratos - correct me if I'm wrong, though, because it has been a while since I have played God of War II). Yeah, in Greek Myth.

Arn't Spartans suppost to be the best of the best? And I never said they werent great warriors.

Yeah. So? All he really needed to do was spill blood.

It's not PIS? If so, Icarus is as strong as a Spartan half-god who can overpower huge monsters and swing huge pillars like they were crowbars.

If the Sisters (minus Clothos) can survive mortal wounds, having some strength can't be too farfetched.

The Spartans were also outnumbered. If this the armies were even, the barbarians would most likely lose.

Kratos didn't know that at first since he couldn't read the words.

Which only happened when he defeated Ganon. It didn't make a wide-area instant seal that Blade of Olympus created.

Ganon was already defeated when his powers were sealed.

Not that he needs it. He can simply block with his sword or roll away.

The only other explosion I know of was at Ganondorf's defeat and that was something he created. That's not tanking nor is it self-destructing.
