No. The Mayor didn't have superstrength, but Link does. I don't think you appreciate that all Bo had to do was move a Goron a few feet, and Link had to stop one moving several miles per hour, pick it up, and then toss it.
That's why I said he wouldn't need the training just the boots. he still gets the boots but if he was as strong as you say he wouldn't need the training.
Training always helps, but wasn't necessary for that. He didn't need it, because all he had to do was stand in front of the goron and hold out his hands.
I understand this but the mayor beating someone who weighs more with his boots alone means all you need is skill and the boots to shove them around.
But not to the extent that Link did. They are different feats by vastly different people. Link picked the Gorons up, something the boots wouldn't help with.
The boots and the training were required so it's not a strength feat. he needed gear to pull it off which altered his weight and gave him added strength making it not a strength feat.
No, no, and no. He trained for sumo wrestling, not stopping several tons of rock moving very quickly.
Yes, I do recall the goats and he's strong but nowhere near superstrength. Didn't the mayor also know how to stop the goats meaning that's all technique as well.
It is nowhere near "all technique." Bo is heavier than goat, as well as fairly strong for a human, so its no surprise he could stop a goat.
Sumos have sheer mass and in this game Link needed training and an anchor for the feat.
Boots give him more mass and make him heavier. The training was for something completely different.
Yes, you can plainly see Link moving backwards until Midna overpowers him herself. This is actually plain to see. Thanks.
Did we watch the same video? You can quite clearly see Link holding his ground against Ganon. He was pushed back at first because he didn't have the boots there.
