Kratos and TP Link switch places

Frankly I think Kratos even without any fancy plot-powered weapons can defeat ganondorf. He may not technically succeed due to not permanently killing Ganondorf but he can still defeat him.

Link due to his character will deny serving Ares who will then proceed to break his spine in half and setting him on fire by looking at him. He probably won't save the captain which will mean he won't get out of hades and he probably will refuse to complete the challenge of pandoras temple that involves sacrificing an athenian soldier, and assuming he gets past this somehow link lacks the physical strength to overpower Ares who could match a 300 foot tall Kratos.

Both of them are screwed.

That said, until GoW3, Link's feats of strength were comparable of even better than Kratos', but meh.

Kratos without the Master Sword cannot defeat Ganondorf, Ganondorf will simply become intangible, if Kratos even manages to get that far. (He won't)

This was an open and shut case. No need to keep posting.

Surely the MS is not the only TP weapon/object that can strike intangible beings....

Couldn't Kratos steal his soul via the Helios( whatever it was called)? Haven't played 3 yet.

That thing he doesn't have? Nope.

ok... sucks for him then. I didn't feel like reading 7 pages so I didn't know if he had anything with him. 😄

...you know that was in the first post, right?

Must be all that pot.

lol... no. I didn't read anything, I just posted.

(Y) good thread idea.

Don't recall Kratos needing his max GOW3 strength in through first game so besides a few jumping moments this side should be cleared.
Kratos wouldnt be as stupid as to kill the only person that can take him through twilight. Imo he could get the MS but if not im sure hed figure something out. Most likely with Zelda and Midna's magic.

Full in-character, both could fail.

Ummm no sir.

There is no "GOW3 strength feat" Kratos.

Kratos from the first game was always as strong as he was in the third. In the Canon storyline it's the exact same dude.The only retcon the games ever had were a few of the Gods designs and Kratos reigning as the God of War in modern times. We just never had a chance to fully see the scale of his strength until the third game. He was always as strong and by this, so was Ares and Every single monster that gave Kratos serious struggle.

Misunderstand. That part had nothing to do with Kratos but the strength feats that Link will have to pull off. Like pulling the hydras head (maybe), while he can replicate that feat one from the 2nd and 3rd game would get him crushed. Was saying Link won't need to stop Atlas or Cronos' attacks.

Now that's unless he's done something that massively outcasts Links strength. Can remember little from that game.

He used his whole body to open the mouth of the Hydra and could just barely overpower Ares while he was 300 feet tall.

True but iirc it looks like he puts effort into most things ie lifting room sized rocks. If not Links screwed. As the OP do the characters have to do exactly what the other does in their game?

LOL yeah he struggles pushing blocks just as much as he does pushing the fingers of atlas away. I think it's because the game is heavily based on puzzle segment and If Kratos did what he really could, it would be impossible for the creators to balance it. They don't want to make him look like he's breezing through the either as that would ruin the atmosphere of the game.

That said, The Hydra is gigantic and Ares is a God. They were probably class 100+ themselves.

And they would do whatever is in thier character.

I still think both fail, personally.

Just gameplay. It gives the devs the chance to impose 'O' mashing upon the player.

Yep. Which is why both fail. Kratos has areas that he cannot get through due to his morality, while the same applies to Link, except won't kill innocents. Not to mention, I doubt Link can wield the Blades of Chaos a quarter as effectively as Kratos can, but that's probably moot.

^Is why Im confused whether he's using full strength at other times, like with that Hydra.(or whatever it was)

But yeah their characters could possible pass the others game but not while in character. Maybe if they went at it their own way.

Dunno. In the GoW Novel, it states that he strained to lift the mouth of the Hydra. So yeah. I'm guessing he's much weaker in GoW1 when compared to near end GoW2 to GoW3.

Kratos couldn't. He needs the MS to beat Ganon, but he won't be able to wield it. As for Link, he might not get past Ares, or even Hades. How good is the dude's balance?
That said, can he climb a mountain barehanded while in a desert with swirling sands? vin
