I recall moderators telling me that because Link can jump and fire arrows in the gameplay its the way developers programed it, I think it was along the lines of "developers would not display him this way if it was not the case", this swings both ways including how link handles the ball and chain, why would they program/animate him doing it this way if it was not the case?
Sword blocking Ganon is not impressive, as Ganons strength was just enough to knock a sword a few meters in a cutscene.
And Quanchi, depending on the sword (and any enchantment/magics it has) and whos wielding it, it could>>>>>A tanks cannon, let alone bullets. Not everything can be gauged vs a human being when were not talking about human beings or weapons made by them. I dont recall the feat Link has to survive a bullet, but the case stands physical force can beat a bullet.
Also that image of Link does not indicate any speed or reactoins, just him holding up his sword. It would take assumption to suggest he brought it up insantly to reflect whatever the magician (agahnim?) is casting which may or may not be a fast single target lightning bolt equel to natural lightning speed kinda like how in the other videos Ganon shoots slow moving energy balls. In this case even less so, the image clearly shows this specific power having an erratic area of effect.
