The game mechanic is the bubble being invulnerable to harm and costing X amount of mana to cast. The actual ability itself like all abilities exist. Even the paladins in the Frozen throne and Warcraft 3 can use a divine shield I think its called.
edit: Even without the bubble, the paladin woud have to be a fool to take the hit, hes wearing heavy armour and a single arrow wound unless its a good head shot wouldnt stop him.

The Divine Shield is a game mechanic. It is in World of Warcraft and it was in Warcraft 3. It is a metaphoric ability that represent the protective nature of the Light. In Warcraft lore, Paladins have no true invulnerability, but their faith in the Light in their eyes make them Omnipotent.

It cannot be a "mechanic" since its not a mechanic behind the gameplay, its part of it. Also we know paladins use the light to enhance themselves, this shield is no more different, just another use.

Also does Lore even have Paladins using the light as a form of magic?

Yes exactly, thats what I am argueing, sure their not invuleralbe that would be a no limit fallacy as well as fallacious game mechanic in general.
Based on your knowledge, what can paladins do within the lore, ignoring powers seen in Warcraft 3 and WoW gameplay?

ALttP and Zelda 2 Links are both very powerful magicians and have a lot of spells. I'm certain either could win.

Alexandros, if my memory serve me right, disintegrated a group of Scourge's skulls with a gesture.
So I wonder if he can do this to a non undead like Link, possibly. The light seems to not just be a form of smiting the undead but also the living.

Impossible to say. Alexandros was trained to fight the Scourge and it could very well have been a special ability designed against Scourge.

WW Link is class 40+, OoT Link is class 1,000+. TP Link is class 800+(IMO the physically most powerful of all Links).
Edit: It's in gameplay but, if you're a good enough shot, you can shoot enemy arrows out of the air in TP. /Random fact.
