Isn't that an older Dorf?

Besides the 7 years experience in OoT, he was revived for a while(years?) before WW and was more driven. Its unlikely he was as strong as pre-skip Dorf.

So you are under the impression tha the went on some incredible workout to make him much faster and stronger than he was?

What basis do you have to claim Ganondorf is base Link physically?

Question: It's the same Ganondorf in every game, right?

Obviously not.

The timeline splits, Ganondorf in WW is the same as Ganondorf in OoT (Adult timeline), and Ganondorf in TP is the same in the child sections of OoT.

I don't know about physically, but I'd say yeah to magically. Actually, what besides the Night/Rain curse and erecting a barrier? Compare pre-ToP Dorf in OoT and TP to WW Dorf.

Dorf goes from being unable to break chains, gets the ToP and gains the strength to later match TP!Link's. Unless those were some steel+ chains, pre-ToP Dorf was at the strength of OoT!Link w/o Gauntlets.

Batman cannot win for a few reasons.

He might not be able to get the spiritual stones, because where Link is selfless and helpful, Batman is threatening and mean, and that just doesn't work on Gorons. haermm

Even if he did, he wouldn't be able to draw the Master Sword because it chooses its' own wielder. Now, if we force that because Neph said so, he probably won't get the ToC. Link got the ToC because it chose him for his qualities.

So the triforce of Courage has nothing to do with.... courage? And more to do with being likeable?? 😕

Batman is only threatening and mean to his enemies. If the Goron's aren't perceived as enemies then why would he try to intimidate them?

Isn't Batman's general ruthlessness why Dick left?

Um. No.

There were a lot of reasons Dick Left. He was harmed and Bruce told him he needed to take a break from Robin. He basically said no and became Nightwing. He also wanted to leave Batman's shadow and become his own man.

Isn't Link killing any enemy more ruthless than what Batman does?

No he left due to several factors such as batman letting go after being shoot in the shoulder by joker and their methods in dealing out crime. That and he wanted to be more independent.

edit: Ninja'd, but as BR said Link killing is will be consider more ruthless in batman's standards.

😂

That's a huge point I hadn't thought about.

I ask because if that's true then I doubt Batman will be bound by his No-Kill policy, since the Master Sword never seems to actually kill him. By the time of OoT he's already revived once as I recall.

Also I think Batman makes exceptions in the case of people who have already died/zombies, such as Solomon Grundy and the Court of Owls (?). He also killed Darkseid. Furthermore, if he learns that the Master Sword is the only way to stop Ganondorf, then that would also urge him to use it on him.

This thread annoyed me to the point of registering an account for the sole purpose of making an argument lol.

Batman is the world's greatest detective. Once Zelda explains how the spiritual stones and the Master Sword work, Batman would deduce that the Triforce is safe in the sacred realm because Ganondorf cannot remove the Master Sword from the pedistal, therefore he does nothing. Instead, he works on finding a way back to Gotham.

Wait, how could Batman navigate the Desert Temple? He's too big for some of the corridors. Link had to go back in time as a kid to progress to get the power gauntlets.

The problem with this argument is that the Legend of Zelda canon shows that Ganondorf was able to access the Sacred Realm if left unopposed. If Batman thinks doing nothing will work and leaves it'll be the same as the end of Ocarina of Time, and possibly worse, since there will be no Hero's Shade to train the next Hero in the era of Twilight.

Edit: Neat thread, Neph. At first I was like 😬 But after reading through, it's been getting some decent dialogue. 👆
