Seriously guys. Mercer is fast, but not fast enough. His durability isn't good enough. Link can beat him into a puddle. Mercer can still regenerate, but I guess by KMC rules incapacitation is a win.

Links not going to hit him if Mercer does not want it. He can jump half way up a skyscraper in one leap at the highest jump level.

And its not incapacitation if Mercer can easily regenerate.

Not sure if I want to breach ignore and read that post.

Un-enhanced OoTLink feat was pushing a 95ton block, lifting strength is below this. Maybe more then 50 but not 95.
No way is TPLink=OoTLink with Golden Guantlets 😐

Tell that to Ganon. TP Link is as strong or stronger than OoT Link with the golden gauntlets.

TP Link would actually be better, as it sword locked with Ganondorf and won.

And when has Ganon shown he's stronger then the golden gauntlets.

Disarmed Link in OoT

He gave a fairly glancing strike that sent the sword a few meters away. Its certain not thousands of tonnes of PSI hit it thats for sure.

Never seen this cutscene, someone post it?

YouTube video
Link raises his sword to block a little after 0:30, Ganon knocks it clean out of his hands.

Ganons feats arnt all the same as Dorfs feats. Like TPBeast being stunned by simple means when the same cant be applied to TPDorf.
Also, Link didnt have the GGauntles on, nor does that necessarily mean (even it he had them on) that Ganons strength is GGauntlet levels.

Ganon's all one character, and yes, Link had the golden gauntlets on, you cannot get to the final fight without them, and Ganon disarmed him.

That vid proves Link does not necesserily canonically have the gauntlets against Ganon even if the rest of your claim made sense.

Nah, just proves the guy who made it hacked or exploited. If Link isn't wearing the GG's in that video, the dude cheated.

So Ganondorf can be stunned by normal arrows and being thrown to the ground? In some videos he has them on, others he doesnt. Optional choice that doesnt effect this battle or any other. As someone pointed out to me the gauntlets are only used in lifting the pillars, shown as his attacks arnt stronger when he has them on.

The stun is a game mechanic to allow you striking time, that much should be obvious when a moment later he tanks a castle busting.

Oh great, this crap again, this has been disproven over and over again. The gauntlets are not optional, you cannot beat the game without them, period. Unless you cheat. (Non canon!)

Now, then, onto your argument from gameplay mechanics. Link with the silver gauntlets can lift and throw large boulders, with no marking! just random boulders. He still only throws pots and jars a limited distance. When you get the GG, he has the exact same animation for everything he already did, but now he throws massive pillars farther and faster than he throws boulders and pots. HM! Odd. mmm Oh, and the in game description states they give him strength.

Essentially; gameplay mechanics, won't fly.

So the game does not take physics seriously and the calculation of physics is redundant in a game that does not actually take the physics into account? I see....

Actually, Zelda physics makes more sense than most games. Atleast they make Link anchor himself, where as Kratos and War get to defy this law of physics.

Speaking of, hey, noticed how Kratos and War don't send their enemies flyign all over the screen all day, and yet have super strength? HM! I smell a coincidence. Could it be: Gameplay is not representative of a character's true strength?

Depends what your trying to gauge, tbh Kratos and War only have a moderate amount of strength and they "can" launch their enemies. They also use blade weapons, slicing someone is not going to send them flying like a blunter force like a punch.

Ganon stunned by those means, dark flaming head in the blast. Three different forms.

Oh I know that they're canon, but in that particular scene they are not referenced to nor is there any proof that they are in effect.
'his gauntlets let him lift heavier things, that doesn't make his grip of a sword any tighter'- is what some Link fans have said to me. Btw why are you telling me about Silver and Gold comparisons? 😐 I was talking about his attacks not being any stronger now that he has them with him which should happen for the Ganon strength feat to work.
