IRL its possible to stop something moving at you thats above your weight if you're strong enough. Personally tested on a smaller scale, nothing impossible about it especially it talking about superpowered beings.
Edit: Link in the vid Scenario posted during that 'slide' part, strong legs resisting would slow down the force until with enough resistance it would stop. Then its just a matter of lifting it. Which he would be able to do it he was at GG strength.
Originally posted by ScreamPasteIf the chair could move then it would be a more fair comparison despite the fact Midna's arms are magical in nature.
K, here's an experiment for you. go sit on a wooden lawn chair, and have someone drive a golf cart at you. The lawn chair simulates Link, you can be Midna. The chair will break, because all of the force is applied to it, because it is your connection to the ground, which you are pushing back on when the golf cart pushes on you.Wear a helmet.

This is ENTIRELY different on a large scale, get a transport truck to drive into a low-set car, and you'll see what I mean.

Originally posted by ScreamPasteYes, just like link(wolf) slid back but she overpowered ganon before Link was ran over.

How have I been crushed? The strength is all coming from Midna while Link has to keep upright long enough for her to do her thing.
You would have, but Link wasn't. Midna was still exerting a downward force on Link, and he wasn't. Same thing with the stool. If you exert a force on something, you also exert a force on the stool that is in the opposite direction. Since the stool isn't Link, it will tip.

Link lifts and swings it, he is therefore, incredibly strong. 🙂
Spoiler:
Link is just using the Megaton Hammer the way a human would use it. I guarantee it's a one-handed Goron weapon.
You're the one making a laughable argument because you're failing to make a distinction.
I'm just using your horrid logic against you.
Link is not the only fictional character that follows real life physics, he IS one of a very few, though.
Nah, he's just one of the weakest super strength characters ever made.
All of the force was pushing back, Link resisted, not Midna, Link has a strength feat. 🙂
In other words, the Iron Boots resisted the force of a Goron's weight. Iron Boots have strength feats 😆
Originally posted by The ScenarioI have already stated why this was a bad example. Had Midna been on a stool it would have tipped as well since Link lost ground but on someone who could move backward it would all depend on my strength if I could overcome someone before they can knock me over.

In any event Link's wolf strength doesn't carry over to his human form strength since we cannot agree and both sides believe the other side is completely wrong.

No, really, you. 😐 You're still failing to make a distinction.
No, he is not, actually.
Here is your failed distinction: the boots are what allows Link to anchor himself by making himself heavier: Link is still taking all of the force, he is still touching the ground, bracing himself, and stopping the Goron. He is doing the same thing with Midna on his back, the only difference is that the force travels through her to get to him, he's still the one on the ground, bracing himself and taking all of the force.
Originally posted by BloodRainIn real life strength and mass are slightly correlated, in fiction, much less so, and this throws off your formula horribly. Physics are on my side, boyo. Stop trying to argue with Newton, he wins. 😉
No ya wont. If it can be done on a human scale it can be done on a superpowered scale.
Like I said, watch a low set car and a transport truck drive into one another, on a larger scale, it falls apart.
Originally posted by ScreamPasteBut we are talking about magical arms which don't play by the laws of physics.

Just look. At 1:20, Link almost stops a Goron without the Iron Boots. The only reason he fell was because he ran out of room and fell off the cliff. Had he had more room to slide, he would have stopped the goron. This pretty much ends the argument.

I don't think you understand what is happening here. It would all depend on your strength if you were against something that wouldn't move, like a wall. If you're against something that will move, it doesn't matter how strong you are, since if you push something, you're also pushing on whatever you're bracing yourself against.
Link held his ground and didn't move (after the initial charge) , which was what let Midna use her strength. If he had moved when Ganon pushed, Midna wouldn't have been able to throw him.

Bad example as a car cannot be stronger then the weight of a truck as.. its a car.
As you said fiction is less, nothing is saying that it doesnt aid what I say as fiction doesnt always work with physics laws. Even though a strong base of the Boots is in the same effect of strong legs. Unless you think that Kratos couldn't stop a moving Goron.

I don't think Kratos could stop a goron. At least, not in the way Link did it. If he exerted the force upward, he might toss it into the stratosphere, but going to the side he would not have been able to because he's lighter than a goron. Alex Mercer probably could.
Originally posted by The ScenarioHe gets pushed back until you put on the boots. It's a requirement and all the boot feats require the boots. Without them he can't stop a goron so how does this end the argument?

No, Link was being pushed back until Midna finally prevailed.
