Young Link runs a difficult gauntlet!

Lol, spoken like someone who knows nothing about how a whip works.

"Whips don't work liek that D: *supplies no facts*"

Fact: whip crack = sonic boom.
Fact 2: Link dodges teh whip crackz.

Your argument is what? O:

No, champ, I know all too well how a whip works.

Fact: The whips last inch is the only thing that moves faster than mach one.

Fact: This portion of the whip snaps back, AWAY from what it's being whipped towards.

Dodging a whip is something Indiana Jones bad guys can do...

Indiana Jones bad guys are fictional characters. dur

Good lord, you have such a hard on for Link that you think he's real? You need to get off the smack, champ.

I'd think of you as a person if you ever contributed something useful.

I've never seen the Boost Ball do anything that fast.

Have you played the games? Quadraxis and a couple other bosses in the series had a spin attack that engulfed the area too, but the player could still escape them by the speed of the Boost Ball.

Samus escapes Link's area-engulfing spin the same way she does those, uses another boost to get behind Link, then owns his ass with a Power Bomb.

2. Even if it was, she would be out of bombing range.

The Power Bombs have very good range (much more than regular bombs). If you wanna go by the sidescroller games, they hit everything on the entire screen. 😛

Out of range my ass.

I hope you're not actually so dense as to have missed my point...

Fictional characters can do things real people cannot. Like dodging cracked whips. We can't do that.

Unfortunately for you physics says otherwise. Arrows are harder to dodge than a whip, and highly trained normal humans in our world can snatch those mid flight. A tiny portion of a whip moving away from where it's thrown faster than mach 1 doesn't make the whole thing move that fast. If Link is supersonic then so are Nazi's in the Indiana Jones universe.

Stop citing fiction to try to prove what's possible for normal people. 😐 Even you must realise that's retarded.

Even you must realize that Link is just as fictional as an Indy film. The fact is the people in fiction who are just normal people dodge whips, meaning that even if the part of the whip that hits the target moved at mach 1 you still have no proof that Link can move that fast. Even if I let you use fake math that was generated in your colon you still have no argument.

The whole crux of it really falls down though when you realize that Link needs a horse to go faster than normal people, a horses top speed is like 30mph or something, not mach 3. Hell even the guy in Hyrule Field in OoT can outrun Link, and he's just a standard Hylian.

This part made me lol so hard.
1. You're still using fiction to try and prove your point about what a normal person should be able to do. This is inherently flawed. ...So I guess you don't realise how retarded it is?
2. I magicly invented an accurate formula useful in physics? And I used my poop dispenser to do so. HM. I'm clearly magical. Do I also fart smoke and pixie dust?

1. You're mistaking speed and reaction time. Nice fail.
2. Epona's not a normal horse by any standard. See the gerudo valley cutscene. Even as a fole she's freakin' uber.
3. That man was not normal. 😐 He could outrun epona, AND teleportation, and was generally an asinine douche bag who made you think you could beat him and win something... But you never did. /Childhood rage.
Sephiroth wouldn't outrun him either, so more fail.

I can dodge a whip, I am supersonic.

hes not trying to use the ole whip rubbish again to try and say Link is supersonic in speed is he? lolz, so whats Screampastes Link now? a 1000 tonner who moves faster than sound?

I can dodge a whip, I am supersonic.
No, no you cannot.

Yep, and there are several fundamental flaws in his argument.

A. Dodging a whip is definitely not equal to dodging an object at supersonic speeds.
B. Link may have never dodged a whip, ever.

And, yes I can, so can other people, it isn't hard.

ill assess B the same way I have always done, the whole whip argument is based on gameplay, theres never a cutscene of Link dodging whips unless theres a vid of it outside of the whole "zomg majora has big whipz he has to have cought link on dems!"

And, yes I can, so can other people, it isn't hard.
No they can't. It's not within human reaction time. We require atleast a quarter of a second do register a problem and do something about it. So.. You're full of poo.

The sonic crack at the end of a whip comes after the entity swings the whip, humans can react to other humans reacts quite handily....

So the action of cracking a whip is < 1/4 of a second?

@BT

Anyone good enough with a whip can crack it at pretty much any time, you can't dodge something like that until the loop is tugged, sorry to say.

Maybe if someone told you "hold still until I raise my arm, then move real quick, and I'll whip where you were!" you could dodge that... But If you allow that, I can dodge lasers. IE, your argument is shit, and would never happen in actual combat.

@Killer: The whip crack consists of the following:
1. Tug loop
2. end of whip accelerates to super sonic speed toward whatever you aimed it at.
