Soap it is.

id go with marcus.

marcus can headshot a target from halfway across the map with a weapon that fires bullets that move so slow that he has to actually compensate for the target moving faster than the bullet can get there (AKA leading a shot).

soap at least has the benefit of not having to lead a shot...

Because normal human beings can lift 100 tons of rock without their legs caving, or walk in flowing lava, or have hundreds of lbs of stone explode in your face with enough force to blow you away and be unscathed. 🙄

Soap would win.

Link was KO'd in ways a human would be KO'd.

1. I said durability, not strength. That was also TP Link with Iron Boots.

2. Without the Goron Tunic? Proof, now!

3. Gameplay mechanic, obviously. Why doesn't Lara Croft get tired from all that climbing and jumping with possibilities of failing and having to do them again? Why doesn't Drake use the bathroom or eat food during the whole time in Uncharted and how is Elena able to fire a grenade launcher with one arm when Sheva can't even fire a shotgun the same way?

Actually, Link was never knocked out when Ganondorf shot him.

1. Wut? No, it was HoT w/ the Silver Gauntlets. The iron boots don't improve strength. If they did, it would have been indicated like it was with the GG. Zelda tends to do that, you know.

2. Just take off the Goron tunic and- ta-da! You can still walk in lava without losing a leg. It still takes life at an increased rate, but you can get from point A) to point B) using the lava road.

3. Uh, that whole event was a cutscene, actually. So no, it isn't a gameplay mechanic. (Sun's Song OoT)

Lol@Sin trying to use "the hero loses his shit from the previous game to start with nothing" as an argument.

Samus' power suit gets owned by a small explosion, and yet shows much higher cutscene durability later on, in Metroid Prime, same shit. Almost every hero has this happen.

Sin I wouldn't go down that route. Remember Kratos losing his stuff when fell from Olympus in GOW3 and Zeus took his stuff in 2

My mistake; I overestimated the magic bolt. It only knocked Link to the ground.

You're talking about the boulder lifting in OoT? Any human with the silver gauntlets can do the same thing. OoT Link is not superhuman in any way. At most, he's like an athlete with strength and fighting skills below that of a U.S. marine.

Oh you mean this:

YouTube video

That's no feat at all. Shit like that is common in fiction. I believe the Indiana Jones movies had something similar to that.

Samus's case is much different as it's clearly PIS and a cute way for players to do things the hard way after they got the hang of how the game plays. At least Metroid Prime 2's way made more sense.

Young Link only lost a horse and the Ocarina of Time and in a realistic way.

Kratos pouring his godly energy into the Blade of Olympus stayed with the plot.

I don't see what's the big deal with River Styx as he couldn't even swim in it without absorbing Hades' soul. Isn't that why he was dodging the god's souls when he stole his chains?

Megaton Hammer rock busting disagrees with you about Link being human level.

Rock busting with a hammer is easy.

Then I invite you, good sir, to grab your largest hammer and give this a couple of whacks.

This is about half the size of the Zelda version, btw.

You're talking about the boulder lifting in OoT? Any human with the silver gauntlets can do the same thing. OoT Link is not superhuman in any way. At most, he's like an athlete with strength and fighting skills below that of a U.S. marine.

Edit: Aside from totally destroying your own credibility with such retarded statements, you actually try to support it with PIS and by denying volumes of evidence. GJ, BT Jr.

The Megaton Hammer isn't an ordinary weapon and it's considered a legendary Goron weapon. And by the looks of it, it looks like it was made as a one-handed weapon for the Gorons. Link holds it with two and can't use his shield.

It's way more powerful than a real-life war hammer.

None of that matters as they're magical gauntlets. Real-life gauntlets don't amplify strength to superhuman levels.

Link getting knocked down by fairies and getting KO'd by Bongo Bongo in shadow form are some of the very few cutscenes where Link gets damaged. He's about as durable as an athletic human.

The fact that you're calling PIS makes you just as much as a fanboy as those who claim Sephiroth is the greatest character in fiction.

I highly doubt Links the only guy with sprinkles of toonforce to aid him in a fiction.

None of that is toon force. One is done with a magical piece of equipment, the other is something that happens a lot in the movies, and the other one I have no clue because I can't remember it.

The hammer does it's job because it's /heavy/. This is like saying the legendary Avro Arrow was only a great plane because it's legendary, wait, wut? Why is it legendary? OHH YEAAAH, because it's something extraordinary and thus worthy of being a legend. AKA, Link, unenhanced, lifts and swings this hammer with enough force to send thousands of tons of stone, which was held firmly in place, into motion. 🙂

Being magical means **** all, stop making assumptions that you have no evidence for. By this logic Kratos magical loin cloth is the only thing that keeps him alive, just because it's magical, and despite having no durability amping properties, it being magical instantly explains everything.

PIS. Kratos loses his power at the beginning of the game, Samus loses her power at the beginning of the game, Link loses his power at the beginning of the game. Losing thep ower to control time in a time based game is a pretty ****ign huge loss.

That's because the hammer is capable of doing that. Not Link. OoT Link is helpless without his weapons.

It's you without the evidence. Unlike Link, Kratos doesn't get his loincloth from treasure box with a description of what it does. Kratos is actually seen outside of gameplay do things that would be considered gameplay. Anyone playing Ocarina of Time knows Link can't lift boulders without the Silver Gauntlets but you act as if Link can do that without them.


PIS. Kratos loses his power at the beginning of the game, Samus loses her power at the beginning of the game, Link loses his power at the beginning of the game. Losing thep ower to [b]control time
in a time based game is a pretty ****ign huge loss. [/B]

1. Kratos lost his godly powers when poured it into the Blade of Olympus. The sword even brings Zeus out of his giant form. Not PIS. Kratos losing his powers on River Styx isn't PIS as he needed to avoid souls when Hades' tried to use them on him. Hades' souls can injure or even kill Kratos. After absorbing the god's soul, he was no longer damaged by them. Not PIS.

2. Samus losing powers after an electrical shock is PIS as she's taken worse hits (like the Red Phazite Pirate who smacked her to a wall) without losing power. But Samus losing her abilities to the Ing is a different story as she was not familiar with Dark Aether. She was caught by surprise on how deadly the atmosphere is to outsiders and was left vulnerable to a group of Ing (which are intelligent creatures that can possess the living and machines). Not PIS.

3. Link lost what? A horse and an ocarina? It's PIS alright; the Skull Kid forgot to take his sword and shield. Of course, he's not gonna bring a boomerang, slingshot, etc. to some trip. After all, the main source of evil is dwelling in the Sacred Realm.

Doesn't Link need the Silver Gauntlets to be able to lift 20 ton boulders?

Lol, because a sword and shield are worth so much when you can call down the moon. 🙄

Shallow arguments, guys.
