Well the Savior without getting complicated did get a punch blocked, and was leaning on Dante until he pushed him off. Was an easy effort not even needing DT. And as Vergil has shown when Dante sliced through him, he can regenerate fast enough not to even show a wound.
Really doubt Link has the speed to hit him anyway.
Saviour was hollow, and could barely crack the asphalt of city streets with it's strikes, an impressive feat, yeah, but Saviour is featless.
Also, Dante's regen and stamina are directly linked. Both can be worn down, especially by blows like the one Link would lay on him. Keep in mind Link can slow time, as well as having feats that give him super-sonic reaction times, as a child, without his piece of the triforce. The Link that this thread allows is.. Well, a bit better than Young Link from Majora's Mask. 😛
Savior wasn't hollow, AFAIK.
@ScreamPaste: Do you have proof he could take him down in one hit? Not only he WON'T be able to decapitate him, but he couldn't catch Dante; too fast. And also, Savior was pretty much weakened. Atlas - from God of War could bearly crack the ground as well, so I guess that makes him weak too? Even Abigail busted the ground, and Savior is MUCH bigger than him.
If Dante's doing nothing but running, Link doesn't have to fight him. But yeah, see where Dante takes damage and his regen if noticably less effective after being beaten down? Link is much, much stronger than Vergil, for example. One strike would put Dante out, just like that fight with Vergil did, it'd leave his regen totally stunted, and Dante would die or fall unconcious.
Link, as I keep saying, can slow time, soo, yeah. I have proof. Now where's yours that Dante can survive such a hit?
1. Dante can slow time as well.
2. This was Dante's weakest incarnation, and Yamato devastates the mind, body, soul, and power. And just because Vergil put Dante down (who is Dante's equal, might I add. and it was also a devil arm), doesn't mean Link can. And you still haven't shown me how he manages to hit Dante.
3. How powerful is this "hit"?
1. Dante can slow time as well.For a limmited time.

And you still haven't shown me how he manages to hit Dante.By swinging his sword as soon as Dante's quicksilver's done.
And just because Vergil put Dante down (who is Dante's equal, might I add), doesn't mean Link can.Yes it does, Vergil's not nearly as strong. 😐
3. How powerful is this "hit"?12734239370.157 joules.
1. I don't recall Link's time powers being unlimited; otherwise, he'd do it Ganon. He has Chrono Heart, tooTime remains slowed until he unslows it.
2. Ah, so you admit Dante hits Link? And Link can only swing his sword so fast =\You make it sound liek Link can't defend himself. Sure, he hits Link, but Link has Nayru's love up, so it doesn't do anything anyway. And as a child, again, without his piece of the triforce, he hit Majora reliably, and Majora was so fast he left after-images.
3. Even if he is stronger, he isn't fast enough to touch DanteSee above.
And that number is based on Link chucking a pillar in OoT. The Link allowed in this thread would be stronger. But lemme root around Youtube.

Actually the only known hollow part was the chest. When the face was smashed it was not hollow.
Bullet timer reaction (Like shown in the Alastor clip with moves so fast that the falling glass looks like it doesnt move.) would be faster then link, plus over-all speed/agility. His quicksilver can practically paused time. Its only limited for gameplay as it draws off his devil energy that has unknown limits.
@Moo: Vergil functions are the same as Dante, twin thing. DMC4 Dante is way stronger then that.
As im here i may as well ask, where did Link get sword resistant skin come from?
Jesus Christ, people.
There is so much sh*t here that there is no way that I could clean it all up.
Well, how about the skin durability?
1) You have never seen any blood come out of Link, but you see Ganondorf and others bleed in the same games, so you know its not a G-rating thing.
2) Iron Knuckles are able to chop through castle walls and pillars like Cloud and Sephiroth in ACC (to a degree), but they cant even cleave Young Link.
3) Young Link tanks blasts strapped to his face that can destroy 3-4 ft. cured concrete walls.
4) Young Link tanks moon implosions and impacts to earth.
5) Link tanks Ganondorf punches (and swords and tridents, depending on the game).
6) All attacks against Link are automatically at half strength thanks to the GF's blessing.

@ScreamPaste😄ante could easily slow time, thus, causing everything to go back to normal.
Dante still has RoyalGuard in his posession, and his Dreadnought armor to protect him fron ANY of Link's attacks (for a ammount of time, of course). Dante made a shield over him preventing the rain from hitting him (He was also keeping up with Vergil, who, might I add, hits are invisible to the human eye). If you look at the Alastor scene, Dante swings Alastor before the glass hits the floor.
Fair enough. Dante fell from space unto the Earth (Hell).
Well, Dante's devil arms are made out of DarkSteel ("Darksteel is a reference to a special type of weapons material found and tempered in Hell, or in any comparable region or plane. Darksteel is the generally accepted material of all Dante's Devil Arms, Ebony and Ivory included. Darksteel is unbreakable by nearly all physical means, and is usually accepted to be of "magic" origin when dealing with resistances or weaknesses."😉 He tanked hits from Nero who can pick up Beria
