Russell Edgington vs. Link (TP)

I am under the impression he is using his nails.

Are his nails like, indestructible and sharp or something?

Eh, I'd be really hesitant to argue those. The only one that I would say would be a concrete durability feat is the desert one, but as you say thats completely off-screen. Theres no indication for there to be any water nearby (or is there?), but he could've have landed in some and then walked to where the scene picks up.

For the others he drops in water, and theres not much impact tbh. I would chalk it up to cartoon physics myself, but that is also debatable.

Edit: Russel can rip a guys spine out, which is something.

He's using his hand to rip people's spines out.

I will check out the scenes when I get home.

The cannons are moot, we've seen King Bulbin smack Link hard enough without hurting him that Russell can't put him down, honestly.

Link so much as draws his sword and this fight is over. How can Russell win?

King Bulbin didn't look all that impressive to be honest. From the video on the first few pages all I saw was him knock a pig over? Sure its a big axe and pretty impressive that he can swing it, but its not really that much more impressive than stopping a car unharmed. He's probably only got a few tons worth of strength.

And I can't find a video for the car thing, but I was told it was braking anyway. Makes the feat a little less impressive.

Short version: Russell cannot and will not put Link down before he draws his sword. Period. If Link does, he wins, immediately.

He ragdolled a gargantuan boar. "Knocked over a pig" is more than an understatement, here, haermm Link was unhurt.

It was about the size and weight of a horse, probably a bit more. Thats less than the weight of the average car. And knocking it a few feet through the air isn't as impressive as stopping a car in motion.

Russel will be hitting him alot with that kind of strength. IMO that's enough to hurt Link quite a bit.

Link wasn't hurt by the axe blow, and this is Link early on. Russell isn't bothering him.

It sure doesn't look that big in the video. I mean, I get perspective, but Link looks like he's standing pretty close to it and it doesn't look that much bigger than him, if at all.

Still seen no durability to piercing on Link's Side.

Russell is too fast and clearly could pierce Link. Sorry 😬

And, no, Link wasn't harmed by stopping a 60 ton Goron, Russell's strength is not enough.

Yes. If an enemy were to stab Link, would it harm him?

Go ahead, put in Twilight Princess and find out 🙂

I do not understand why you don't want to accept the difference in gameplay and canon.

Because it's absurd to bend the rules to accommodate a character that doesn't really exist unless you bend said rules.

Fact: In the game Link can be harmed by regular swords. There's no simpler truth.

*mentally gives the Kratos and Asura gameplay examples*

No simpler truth. It just hurts a little.

Oh, and giant blocks of stone weighing tens of tons just kind of bounce off and leave a bruise. Characters capable of physically smashing stone, tossing hundreds of tons, ect, can stab Link for just a little bit of damage, too. It doesn't kill him.

Ohwait, that's inconcistent! Could it possibly be because *gasp* gameplay mechanics are inherently inconsistant and not part of the canon, due to existing as, go figure, nothing more than a mechanic to enable gameplay?

We go by the canon and the feats. Those are the rules.

We are not bending them.

So, here are your options, Blight.

You can either A. look at the feats and actually have a debate, or B. continue to cover your ears, close your eyes, and shout 'nananananabooboo' over and over until the thread goes away, while contributing nothing of note except constant naysaying out of butthurt because you were surprised by a few feats.

I don't care either way, but make your choice clear so I know whether to keep responding to you.
