Thing is getting pierced/sliced is in a different scale to those blunt and blast hits. Yeah it shows high durability but not from a blade 😐
Sorry but how strong is Ganon physically?Ganon is stronger physicly than Link. Link chucks thousand ton pillars at over 75 m/s.Thing is getting pierced/sliced is in a different scale to those blunt and blast hits. Yeah it shows high durability but not from a blade
Didnt he have a protective mask on at the time?No.
Referring to cutscenes right?In cutscenes we see:
Edit: and to clarify, as far as physical attacks go, be it sword, or punch, they're all an expression of PSI of an area of the body. Swords are more effective because they generate more PSI over less area, thus, cutting.
However, it's worth noting Link's faced Ganon wielding swords in multiple occasions, to think he's never been touched is a little illogical.
Hes stronger then base Link, but the pillar was with the golden gauntlets. Unless its been shown/said that that's he's stronger even if he has them.
Thats what im saying, those feats mentioned cant really compare to a blade and without going into special blades.
But he's only been hit by the sword or trident during gameplay afaik.

Unless its been shown/said that that's he's stronger even if he has them.Nah, TP Link basicly has Golden Gauntlets under his skin thanks to the triforce of courage, which is an implied retcon, and he needed to weaken Ganon severely via three fights prior to win a sword lock with him.
In OoT, Ganon disarms Link who has the golden gauntlets.
Thats what im saying, those feats mentioned cant really compare to a blade and without going into special blades.Yeah they can, because they're all an expression of PSI. Dante would need to produce more PSI than any of the other physical strieks Link tanked without damage in order to hurt him. A sword is more efficient in terms of creating PSI, but will not auto win aganst blunt attacks with much more force. If you want to get technical, everytime Link swings his sword he exerts his own hands to a minimum of 8494 tons of PSI. O-o
But he's only been hit by the sword or trident during gameplay afaik.Are you implying Link is too quick/skilled to be hit by Ganondorf?
Lets say its take 100 'blah' of force to hurt link with those moves, it would take a considerably less amount of 'blah' if its concentrated into a sword to get the same results. Dante wouldnt need to produce that level of strength when using a sword.
No.. well maybe. If Link has agility feats to dodge a skilled whip-crack the yeah. Point i was going for was that him getting slashed in gameplay isnt the same as in a cutscene.
Seems we're saying the same thing in different languages, BloodRain.
PSI = Pounds per square inch. A sword is more efficient at creating PSI, so yes, with less strength Dante can create the same force over a certain area that a punch would create over a large area, but he still needs to be strong enough, even with a sword, to excede 9000 tons of PSI, which Link is under, without harm anytime he swings his sword against a static object.
If you were to look at the force behind the sword lock with Ganon, you'd be quite amazed how much PSI it will take to cut either Ganondorf or Link.
Also, Link has other feats to fall back on, but yeah. We have the same idea with the sword. But it'd need to be proven Dante's sword can excede that force.
Edit: as a side note, I discovered this ridiculous anomaly when I was doing math to prove bullets wouldn't hurt Link in another thread. I love math. Am I a bad person?
Naryu's love won't save Link being punched into space though. While it might damage him he can still be sent there.

Edit: How will they protect themselves from Spell? Zelda II, turns enemies into goo.
