That's completely off base as to what I am arguing. Link doesn't have the combat feats to support he's just super strong for his enemies to deal with. In his own game he's strong enough with the right gear for the job but on his own he doesn't do anything someone else didn't teach him with the right technique, skill or gear.
This shouldn't perplex the entire gaming community I am here to save you all from yourselves.

No. It's about you downplaying everything that you don't like.See my own previous argument, and the previous arguments on the subject from others. I'm not going to repeat things if you're just going to continue trolling me. So you better start coming up with some new bullshit to throw around, or else you'll have to find someone else to try and cross your bridge.
No, it doesn't. In fact, it's the opposite.
I'm not going to do your work for you, bro. You claimed you don't ignore evidence. Find some you didn't. I know how much you hate finding evidence. But, well, that's just too damn bad. Suck it up you big crybaby.
Read the above quoted post as it applies to you as well. Most of this is you just begging me to stop. I'm a shark in blood infested water I go for the kill, bro.
It's what I do.

Why does one have to be only skilled or only super strong? Why can't Link be both really strong and really skilled? That is how I see his portrayal and he has done things that required strength since...well the first game. Sometimes it takes items, here it doesn't. In this game, Link needs the boots because he is too light to stop a Goron, not because they increase his arm strength. [b]That is how the situation is portrayed.Why again is Link not portrayed as very strong? Why? Because his games tend to revolve more around puzzles than combat? That is garbage. If he does some strong things, they are by rights his feats. Just like Kratos.
You're logic of thinking, while something I think really does need to be considered in order to think of more interesting fights among these characters, is faulty. For example: The guy from the first video and Link are very similar. Both are portrayed as young androgynous teens who get their powers from items, particularly magical swords. Both are young but capable adventurers who save the day and blah blah blah. Who would win in a fight between the two? Arguing for portrayal basically makes this a tie correct? [/B]
Link is strong and above human strength as I have noted but what I do deem silly is this notion of him being super strong.
People tend to flare up when reading my well thought out responses mixed with both common sense and logic. You really need to just sit back and ignore the board myths this sub board(you and your msn friends have come to accept) as the dominant group in this part of the forum.
Every board you find there are arguments accepted as factual and they vary significantly from board to board. I make up my own mind and don't placate to the masses.
The boots make it clear that without increasing his weight he cannot compete with someone a lot heavier than himself. To make matters point to me being right Bo also just needed the boots which is the key here. It seems anyone in hyrule can negate their size advantage with the boots as Bo did before him.
Kratos has been shown to resist characters dwarfing mountains by himself due to strength alone. He's also shown himself to rip through most enemies and also being an exception rather than someone teachable to the same techniques and strategies before him. Also Kratos' enemies would make hyrule flee in terror as they have them beat in terms of numbers and sheer power to make even Dorf lose interest in his prized triforce of power.
I have no idea who would win between the two as I'd need to play through the game to get a good idea of what he is capable of. That's the problem most zelda fans are completely unaware of mk yet they storm in here with theories they themselves have no idea whether they'd work or not in mk due to ignorance and unfamiliarity.
