Cape being the best there. How many bottles does Link have, or are items unlimited in a vs fight?
Five or six in each game, but to give him that many bottles is /extremely/ asinine, and I don't think it'd be fair, so I've been assuming about 5 bottles. Things that they can contain include
-Chateau Romani, infinite magic for 3 days. (?!?!)
-Grandma's soup: Full health and double damage. (..!?!?)
-Great Fairy's Tears: See grandma's soup.
-Blue potion: Full health and magic
Ect.
It draws off his DT gauge which is a gameplay mechanic as Dante has an unknown limit of energy (unlimited bullets). QS can be used to evade or even strike him the team before shields and such go up.
Well, technicly Link's triforce never fades, so we could say he has an unknown amount of energy too. 😛 But we won't. Dante's stamina is limited, and as he gets tired his 'energy' and his regeneration both slacken.
It's also worth noting that as the least physicly powerful on his team I don't believe he could really hurt Link. And the cape, really, is just clothing, anyway. But assuming he has to take a moment to use it, I still do not see Dante as a threat. Link in this case inherently has the "silver hearts" which is basicly a damage sponge that doubles his health in gameplay. It makes him more durable, how much more durable isn't specific so I'll guess on the low-end. Also, worth note is being able to just walk onto the field wearing the red mail, cape, and boots. They're clothes. The mail, which is passive, and doesn't require him to turn on, unlike the cape, is a further damage sponge which absorbs 75% of gameplay damage. Again, I'll guess on the low end, and say that combining these two only marginally increases his survivability for the sake of not getting ridiculous. But this thread *really* has given Link far too much. I'd question Dante's ability to harm TP Link without any armour, but the Link this thread allows is beyond Dante being able to put down. Especially not before Link puts up one of his many defenses.
He can cast the shield spell instantly, turn on the cape, do a little dance, make a little Nayru's love, or swing the Cane of Byrna around in the time Dante's twaddling at him. In reality, a composite Link such as this has nothing at all to fear from Dante, and will probably ignore him until the much stronger, and slower, Bayonetta and Kratos are out of the picture. Dante's fast enough to avoid getting killed in the melee while he has team mates, but he can't run forever, particularly not from an invisible enemy that can slow time, or travel through it, which is another power I've been ignoring.
Do Fear and Untouchable protect him from powerful magic, as well as physical hits?
Edit: I included Dante in another thread, and would appreciate your input, sir. 🙂
Moar edit: The largest flaw I see in my own argument is War's survival while Link does all of this buffing. Can War prevent himself from being BFR'd or killed by those three for a few moments?
