I dont see Duke winning if he starts off within range of a strike which Link can do quite quickly. If anything, this thread is based purely on luck, "maybe" as Link strikes Duke his finger, as often happens will pull the trigger and blow Links head away....before i would argue Dukes range gave him some advantage in this thread but since its confirmed not, his fate is in the hand of Zeus!

Not circular logic, just posing the same query you did. He's a copy of Link, has the same skills, techniques and battle style and shows no reason to suggest he thinks different to Link. If there is solid evidence I can't seem to find it, so show me if you will. Yay for using gameplay mechanics...
So time stops when he used it too as 'they wouldn't do it otherwise'? Good to know. Even after setting up Farore's Wind Link can use it instantly as they're not going to show the flashy moves over and over again... The only part in question is forming the orb and implanting it into himself. The other movements dont form, charge or do anything besides being flashy movements for special moves.
Explain how "It can block any and all attacks besides Ganon's strength" is a mechanic. Obvious indication is obvious. Over 0.2 is great reactions if youre a bit tired.. Peak RT is 0.1, average is 0.2, slower is 0.3. Prove that 0.2+ is average/good RT then suggest a reason why youre not even using peak RT.. 0.2, 0.2, 0.2, 0.2. "Reaction time is the elapsed time between the presentation of a sensory stimulus and the subsequent behavioral response" aka RT = time from event to react. Go find proof for everything you just said if youre so sure otherwise.
OBD summed it up nicely in which I agree; if you can dodge a 100m/s melee attack you can dodge a bullet at 3.4m. A 1cm thick vest-plate can block bullets, his thick shield will hold up fine as well. Slow in your eyes, and once up Duke is out of options for harming him.
How dare you.. my fan fictions only contain the female LoZ cast 😐 .....*ahem* Don't see how it will take Link a second or longer to do these actions when A) NL's form and insert is fast without arm waving, and B) how a human could do the other things in a second, let alone Link.
