SS Link vs TP Link

I'm not sure its open and shut that TP Link is stronger by feats.

His best strength feat is tossing Dangoro around with the iron boots equipped. Ghirahim's wall busting should be greater than that, but then again I don't recall SS Link and him having a direct contests of strength in their fights in which Link won, so its iffy.

SS Link's best strength feat is probably this:

^12:24-12:33. That hand would definitely weigh more than Dangoro.

As an aside for Ghirahim, he was also able to bust through Impa's force fields, and old Impa was able to hold back perhaps millions of tons of water with some magic seal...but I'm not going to assume that the two are equivalent since there are too many unknowns. Just saying since Paste brought it to my attention once before.

Not convinced with the statue grab. Link didnt physically resist it, that and we see him squeeze out of the grasp, meaning that there was just enough room for him to inch around. Impa would be a solid, high ranking feat if we could confirm that she was as strong as she was hundreds of years ago.

Oh another good one. IIRC, Link broke out of the grip of Tentalus. That boss was wrecking the sandship. Which is an impressive feat of strength because the sandship was durable enough to withstand three cannon shots and take no damage at all--only its cloaking device malfunctioned from it. the hull was in-tact.

11:50-11:57

This ship itself is huge too. I'd say at least 300 feet long. And Tentalus had no problem shaking it.

K, having calmed down a bit, I'm disappointed in all of you.

BR, I'm disappointed in you for lowballing TP Link's strength. Dangoro is not only far from his best strength feat, it's a feat TP Link performs at a time when he's told flat out he's unworthy of wearing the hero's tunic because at that time he's a ****ing wimp. 😐 Later he overpowers a weakened Ganondorf in a sword lock.

CC, I'm disappointed in you for this thread in general but also the stance you've taken in it. Really? Suddenly the triforce pieces don't actually do anything when they've been doing things for as long as the series has existed? Suddenly the canon can just reform because a Link comes along who doesn't receive a piece of it?

Really, a Link whose feats are inferior AND lacks a piece of the triforce somehow gets a pass? Why? Because SS is the better game? Unfortunately that isn't how debates work.

Oh, and using general size as a strength indicator is lulzy enough, but TP Link yelling when he's hit? TP Link yells when he jumps, lifts things, swings his sword, and sometimes when he sees things that interest him. He's pointedly undamaged by the strike and again it's very early in his quest when he's still not very powerful. The game stops to point this out.

Soloing an army of mooks is a cool gameplay section, but it's never been a great feat. Mooks are mooks. They are by definition non-threatening. There's not a Link in the canon I can think of in any of the games I've played that couldn't have replicated that feat, nor is there a feat SS Link performs I doubt TP Link could perform.

TP Link on the other hand does shit SS Link does not have the feats for. His enemy is more powerful, and his game comes from a time when the stakes have escalated. I will say this plainly. I do not think SS Link could have beaten Ganondorf, and nothing he does suggests he could've.

Ares, I'm disappointed in you for your stance that Ghirahim wounding Faron makes him even close to as powerful as Ganon. The characters that show the city busting power in SS are pointedly low tier. In TP Zant with a fraction of Ganon's power can defeat these ****ers with a thought. haermm

Impa's 'simple seal' can hold back billions of galons of water, does Impa suddenly jump to the top 10 list in terms of power in Zelda canon?

Now that I've said my part, I'm done. Everyone enjoy yourselves.

And besides not standing behind base Dorf having GG strength, there's also that zapped-out-of-Zelda-MS-slashing-his-weak-point-explosion-to-the-face-shot-with-Light-Arrows-slashed-by-the-MS-again weakened state of his. Brought to a state where it was a struggle for him to even stand, how much strength has he retained here assuming his base has GG strength?

Starting with the ToC; TP Link with it was brought up to the strength of <50 tons(or <1000 tons). On the other hand, OoT Link with it can't even lift a 10 ton rock without S.Gauntlets, and thats more than it gives to the other Link's.

And the ToP; Besides Dem's consciousness being sealed into the MS making him being fully reincarnating pretty tough, theres also if anything besides the hatred was passed on. And their shown feats. Dorf's biggest thing is freezing over the Zora domain, which by sheer size is far smaller than erupting a large volcanoe/shaking an island or that huge flood (Or around equal in overall power by bringing down Twilight). And Demise > Girahim > them, apparently. If that holds then Dorf is below them in feats and thus cant be stronger than Dem.

If it amps its not a consistent one.

So whats going on in the thread, I don't feel like reading. O.o
Might come out of retirement for this one. xD

That SS Link is stronger for matching sword-guys wall busting feat, and that its above TP Link throwing Dangoro.

And some tid-bits about Ganon/Dorf and the triforce :I

Ganondorf is stronger than Demise by a great deal insects.

Demmy's 'because I'm worth it' hair >

-TP Link overpowers a weakened Ganondorf.
-SS Link lacks ToC.
-Tossing Dangoro is one of TP Link's low end feats.
-You'd legitimately argue proto-Ganon's sword he made is stronger than actual Ganon? haermm

Yeah. No.

Dude.. I was just telliing Loys what happened o___o"

Though you did totally pass up on my ToC point. And that hurt, like, broken feelings and shiz.

LoZ makes you mad? BT is that you?

And yes, to squash down into a fun-sized bite; If the ToC/P/W is an amp, as at times it is not, it is definatly not a consistant one. So having the ToC isnt an auto win.

And what feat does he have above Dangoro if not from a weakened Dorf? O.o

Twlit Ice Mass: Blizzeta beats the Dangoro toss, as I recall.

What was it, 200-300 tons or something? Don't remember the exact number for that one.

As for the Triforce of Courage, I'm not sure we've really seen Link use it. If it is an amp, it appears to be mostly defensive in nature.

Oh snap... wait did I get the number for that?... Weird.

Right, 300 tonner then. Knocking thst on ice would be somewhere above the wall feat. Wouldnt bet that its far from a stalemate in strength.

Its the whole giving and slowly raising his strength as its offensive quality.

In other words, it's a shit storm? O.o

It would probably be a more civil debate if you just take out the Triforce all together... SS Link might not have the ToC at end game, but he wields the full Triforce near the end of it. Triforce talk is making this thread gay. Dx

And how is Gannondorf stronger than Demise? O.o

Shut up.

He's stronger because his feats are better.

Yeah forgot about Blizzeta, TP Link is the stronger one.

Who are you talking to?

Either the thread or the me of last month.

And what are the stronger feats Dorf has? According to Scream the three dragons are 'casual city busters', that Ghirahim is above them and Dem above even that. If he's above city busters isnt that above Dorf's sub-city power feat. (Not counting Twili shroud as a power/damage feat)

Dimension manipulation that leads into soulrape on a country scale for one.
