Edit: Wait, I gotta get 5L off ignore so I can reply to that post.

You had me on ignore? It was the Midna jokes, wasn't it? 😛

I don't know about you guys, but I never got the feeling that the Hero's Shade was HoT. Even the "my child" line didn't strike me as a connection. The only thing that gives the argument a glimmer of hope imo is the fact that the blade of the sword the Hero's Shade uses looks awfully similar to that of the Master Sword.

Yeah, I read that part, but it seemed too vague.

Also, it totally destroys the incarnation idea. By what means would there be two incarnations of the same hero?

It actually really doesn't.

The Link's are still seperate people with seperate experiences and skills as they led different lives, the Shade would only be a manifestation of OoT Link's regret, not his spirit.

When you consider that everything the Hero's Shade says and does points to him being a Link from times past, the only obvious one is OoT Link himself. Zelda canon only has one "The Hero", and that's who the Shade says he comes from.

You gotta remember, I'm a literal-legendist and a fact monster. 😉
What you said is plausible (MM Darmani comes to mind), but I don't believe the timeline to begin with (oh s***, I said the "T" word...).

Whatever, I'll roll with it for now. There is nothing in OoT to relinquish the idea.

I was actually thinking about Darmani as I typed that 😛 But yeah, the timeline is a headache.

I sensed your thoughts. 😐

I don't think aLttP Link can compete with Zelda II Link, tbh. Zelda II Link has moar sword lasers, including lightning and fire

That's nothing compared to the Medallions which can shower the area with explosions, or freeze the entire place. I'd even say they're superior to OoT Link's "magic arrows of rape".

, the ToC,

I don't see what abilities the ToC even has besides possibly giving Link anymore courage.

a reflect spell that works on pretty much everything,

It's not gonna be any use when the Medallions are used and besides, LttP Link has a mirror shield that pretty much does the same thing minus lightning and powerful projectiles.

and shield and heal spells. He could outfight aLttP Link, and his cross allows him to see him, even with the magic cape.

Just about any Link can heal himself with bottled potions.

OoT Link can also match aLttP Link. He has the magic arrows of rape, the same sword and shield,

LttP Link's medallions eat those arrows. He also has the superior Master Sword which became tempered and later enchanted by a fairy. And his Mirror Shield reflects projectiles instead of just absorbing ice and fire.

Here's a claim I'd like to see you prove against evidence.. 😬

ALttP Link's medallions all drain his magic, which will shorten his invuln, and therefore his time in the fight, as lacking the ToC, every Link on TBL can out fight him. Also, magic arrows v.s. AoE's are a trade off. Range for .. Well, AoE.

Also, the end of aLttP still calls it the master sword, just how canon it's upgraded versions are is dubious.

I'm not entirely sure who would win here. Both teams have some strong Links.

Basic rundown, in my opinion:

TP Link- Least powerful magically, though bomb arrows and hawkeye make him formidable at range. One of the best swordsmen, however. Magic Armor gives him some freedom to do what he wants.

OoT Link- The most balanced, I think. Great magical offense and defense, and pretty good swordsman. Nayru's Love gives some freedom, as well. Mirror shield for arrows.

Zelda 2 Link- Magical powerhouse. Reflect can take care of just about any ranged attack and his other spells are great offense. Good swordsman, and best jumper.

MM Link- Not many masks would be very useful, but nothing prevents him from going Fierce Deity. Otherwise, the Gilded Sword and Great Fairy sword are great weapons. He has Chateau Romani, but without much to use it with, it's a mixed blessing.

WW Link- Magic Armor also gives him freedom to do whatever. He's also the best swordsman, in my opinion. Good magic, and his arrows seem to be more powerful than any others.

ALttP- Another magical powerhouse. Lots of AoEs and spells of that nature. Cane of Byrna and Magic Cape give the same freedom as near everyone else.

My prediction? Absolutely nothing happens for the first 2 minutes while everyone has some form of invulnerability up. MM, lacking one, will probaly go down first. This will last until the magic runs out, at which point TBL should win due to numerical advantage. But then again, I still think WW Link could pull a win.

Where did you get the idea that the Master Sword changes its name? It's still the same sword except heated and with a powerful enchantment.
