The Scourge Vs. Huryle

Not necessarily. Hyrule has many things present within it that can give it inherent advantages.

For example: if Ganon were to shroud the land in Twilight to defend it from attack, that could really mess up the Scourge's advance.

Nobody gonna conquer Hyrule but him! Territorial villains ftw.

The Lich King has the valkyries and the spirit realm still, though. Knowing Lich King though, he would probably let Ganon conquer Hyrule first and then try take the ruins from him.

He'd probably have an easier time attacking before Ganon conquered it, tbh. Ganon's a master manipulator and a great tactician, as well though. In several games he's had Link working against himself without even knowing it, or conquered Hyrule without lifting a finger of his own.

Have you seen the chain of events in World of Warcraft? Everything was according to the Lich King's plans. He could have conquered Azeroth without lifting a finger if he really wanted to, as stated by Uther and others. The Scourge had that power. The Lich King just wanted himself an elite, so he let them train themselves against him.

So technically the Lich King could succeed in what the burning legion and Sargeras and the rest of their leaders failed to do?

The Lich King would fail to do what the Burning Legion and Sargeras tried to do. Sargeras was never after destroying Azeroth, he wanted the Well of Eternity. Only problem was that he had Deathwing and others to oppose him. Lich King has not had any of the great names against him.

Ysera has overslept, Deathwing has been in hiding, Malygos went insane, Nozdormu does not care and Alexstrasza does not want to fight. Azshara's men as well as Illidan opposed Sargeras. Illidan for one almost destroyed the Lich King twice.

Basically, Sargeras was shit out of luck. The Lich King did not have the same problems he did.

So, they're on a similar level as far as tactics and manipulation. If Lich King had a green clad pantheon sent warrior protected from his power to deal with things would go badly for him, too. 😛

What do you think Tirion Fordring was?

Needs more green!

Y'know. The Lich King is kind of like an amalgam of two of the great badass villains. Ganondorf, and the Witch King. (He even looks and sounds like the Witch King!) And the paralells with Ganondorf are kind of uncanny.
