Final Destination Vol.4 Link X Sora

Link is equipped with nothing but a standard shield, a broad sword, and basic arrows. Choose any Link from any ZELDA GAME.

Sora has a standard Katana and that's about it.

No magic, items, or any other weapons not mentioned in the OP. As usual, both combatants are completely naked.

The battle takes place in Tokyo at the Nippon Budokan.

Link roflstomps, Sora's power comes from the Keyblade. haermm

Yeah the Keyblade's a major stat boost for Sora, he's only peak human(?) without it, just like how low/mid Link's are.

He may stand a chance against these physically lower tier Link's.

What you give him arrows for without a bow?

Link destroys.

He must throw them with his hands. *snicker*

No seriously, he has a bow, though. But just to be clear, you know the Green Arrow uses a bow to fire his arrows with out actully being called The Green [Bow and] Arrow, right?

So....

You're taking a hero who gets most of his powers and such from weapons, giving him his weapons, not all but the basic 3, and letting him go nuts.

And you're taking another character who gets roughly 90% of his power from his 1 weapon, taking that weapon away, stripping him naked (a clothed Sora would in fact win), and taking away the other 10% of his power by getting rid of his magic.

Yeah....fair. Link in a lolstomp.

ALSO: Considering that both of these boys are underage, I expect we will all be thrown in prison shortly for imagining this.

2nd Edit: Then again...Sora isn't exactly unimpressive without the keyblade...

Yeah, I know that.

What I don't know is how that would prove that I think you want it to prove.

Wait, they both are stripped naked with basic weapons, not even the weapons they have in the game. Just regular realworld stuff.

Yes, and Link fights with weapons basically identical to real world weapons, magic and such aside. Sora fights with a giant magical key. Who is more out of their element?

Link likely wins, though depends on the Link I guess. TP would be the best but I prefer this Link.

All of that "Sora is great with a sword" crap just flew right out the window, huh?

When faced with an opponent who can shoot an arrow into Sora's penis from half a stadium away, swordplay will not be a factor.

Don't change the subject. You were just bitching about it being a mismatch because Sora fights with a giant key. Which would be you admitting Sora isn't good with a sword after all.

Though he was saying how the Key gives him '90% of his power', not his skill with it.

It's more a mismatch because Sora outright depends on said magical key. Without it, he at a horrendously unfair disadvantage.

Sora's fighting style without the keyblade is generally the same, just here he is lacking the strength, speed, and magic to really win. Though could make the argument that he is still decently fast enough.

But Link does win this fight. Bow and arrow>katana.

Key word there: "Magical".

Give someone a magic sword that enhances their normal fighting capabilities. Now take it away and give them a normal sword. It is going to nerf them because it takes away the bonuses of the magic weapon.

Plus Link's the only one with some kind of defense.

Magic has nothing to do with it. You asked who was more out of their element, all but precisely stating that there is a difference between Sora's keyblade and a sword. Which means that Sora is not good with a sword.

If I actually have to explain all the things that make the keyblade different from a sword in real life, then I'll just post images.

Not that it matters. Several times the Keyblade is called a blade or sword from several sword wielding characters, so it's not that the keyblade is not a sword. Just not like one in real life. And especially not like a katana. And considering Sora is good with the keyblade, Sora would be good with a certain kind of sword. Katana not being one of them.
