-LOL. No one who wasn't retarded ever considered Link anywhere near Kratos' strength level. But its not just strength Kratos has over Link. He has ever advantage possible. Speed, Durability, Skill, Magic. Everything.
Until GoW3, Link was infact stronger, LOL all you like, it's true. Also, my turn to LOL. Link wins in skill and demonstrable striking speed, he's strong enough to kill Kratos with the master sword, and that's all he needs.
At the end of the game it was still GoW2 Kratos, and he didn't snatch it so much as they had a length exchange whiel flying.
ORLY? No. They couldn't even lift Hades if that scene really was all physical strength as you like to pretend, and Atlas gets off the hook based entirely on his namesake, being the same race as someone does not give you their feats. So, here's your apparent measurement of Kratos' strength, stop me if Im incorrect.
Atlas in the original myth holds up the earth. Atlas in GoW is imprisonedb eneath the earth, and is presumably doing what his namsake does. Cronos happens to be kind of like Atlas, but in the same way that say.. Link's sister Aryll is kinda liek Link. Now, Aryll can't do anythign Link does, bar looking through a telescope, that we can prove. But by virtue of being the related their feats are able to be shared? Nope. Not how it werks, mah boi. Cronos' can be seen doing something Atlas can do, but not /everything/ Atlas can do. Whether Atlas is actively supporting anything seems to be left amiss in the GoW universe, which many have pointed out, has many contrasts from the myth it's based on. Now, I haven't played GoW3, but does anythign bad happen to the earth's crust after Atlas is freed? 😮 Just askin'.
Cronos' strength feats: He can throw a rock. He is not Atlas, and does not get hsi feats. Now, here's where we make another jump.
Atlas = Atlas = Cronos = Kratos. If nothing else, this is a sign Cronos is infact not as strogn physicly as Atlas, as Atlas could have killed Kratos in GoW 2, with his /fingers/. Cronos is not Atlas, he's a titan of a whole different sort. Sort of like how Zeus being leader of the gods doesn't give him the powers of the others. So, at best, we know, that Kratos, can throw a big rock. It's bigger than Link's, so, neato. But it's not millions of times bigger, or millions of times faster. So, whiel Kratos, as of GoW3, is stronger, he is not millions of times stronger by any stretch.
The master sword is stated to be, arguing with the games now? The master sword is powerful, and Link is strong, and Kratos is evil. Link has everythign he needs to kill Kratos.
