Game mechanics don't care. Link can be hit by immense monsters and take barely any damage, lol. So if you use them, Achilles is helpless.Without them, he's still helpless.
Achilles is clearly more skilled. Never bled in his entire movie from a sword strike.
Originally posted by ScreamPasteWe don't see if anything cuts his throat. That's the difference it is only vague damage ie. we don't know. You continue to make baseless claims. It's things like this which make it apparent to me why you don't ever do a battlezone against me.
Cutting his throat is only half a heart of damage.
Link's throat is more durable than Achille's sword.
Link is a better swordsman with a longer weapon who will kill him before he gets close enough.Take your pick.
Due to some of the cutscenes in the games, we can probably assume that hylian skin is tough enough that they don't have to worry about lacerations, but they can only take so much blunt force trauma. Achilles could beat link down, if he just stood there or faught with his basics, but the hidden skills have him jumping and rolling around fast enough to mess with Achilles's skill. I get that you're not a fan of zelda, but it's just logic dude
Originally posted by NotAllThatEvilIt's not Hylians being tough so much as Link himself, really, as the game progresses he steadily becomes more powerful, but even early on the force of a 60ish ton Goron smashing into him doesn't hurt him.

Originally posted by NotAllThatEvilIt's a kiddie game we won't see lacerations. The game is too kiddie to include something this graphic. Kids like paste are drawn to something this kiddie. There is no single example of him being unable to be cut by a sword. Saying he can is illogical, dude.

We have a cutscene of him being unable to be cut by someone stronger than Achilles with a giant axe. haermm
Also, yeah, sure is kiddie, that's why there's blood even in the E rated games, and two of those end with swords through the face, and TP ends with an impalement. Right.
Zelda doesn't need to be a tryhard over the top gorefest to get it's point across and deal with mature themes.

Kiddie impalement. Go to gow or dante's inferno for some maturity. I get that looking over the same dungeons for basically the same game enthralls you. I look for more.
If the punch doesn't hurt you at all and someone with less than 1/10th the strength tries the same thing, actually yes it does. This is the case here, Quan. Achilles' strength is insignificant, his weapon is made of bronze, he's too slow and too soft skinned to survive if Link so much as closes his eyes and flails his arms.
Gore=/=maturity.
Originally posted by ScreamPasteMy strength dwarfs that of a 5 year old but my skin will still be cut wide open by a knife from a 5 year old. The game makes it clear he receives damage from swords.

It's an aspect of maturity. Otherwise pg movies would be like r rated gore fests. LOL.
I don't care how 'strong' you think you are, Quan, you've never taken an axe to the face from a grown man and been unharmed by it.
It's not an aspect of maturity at all, it's a design and aesthetic choice.
Rating determines what's appropriate for view, not what's mature. There are hundreds of R and M rated movies and games that are totally immature.

Argue with the ratings boards then. They seem to think it is a maturity thing. Acting like it isn't is hilarious.
Gore determines the rating. Always has and always will. You act like it doesn't because you're an idiot.
Achilles cuts him and kills him.
Originally posted by ScreamPasteIt's obvious he was hurt but not fatally.
Prove that. Go ahead, prove Link was hurt, contradict the cutscene showing him not being hurt.You think American Pie is a 'mature' movie, rather than just a movie inappropriate for children?
Rating =/= Maturity.
Achille's sword would bend first, I doubt Achilles has the strength to do even that.
Maturity means it's inappropriate for children.
Yes, it has everything to do with maturity.
Show me a sword bending against Link's skin. A goat can knock him over yet a sword breaks on contact. Only in paste's world.
Prove he was hurt.
Maturity means:
ma·tu·ri·ty
/məˈCHo͝oritē/
Noun
The state, fact, or period of being mature.
The time when an insurance policy, security, etc., matures
Gore is not mature, it is just inappropriate.
Rating =/= Maturity.
You mean at the beginning of the game? Before he actually becomes powerful? Lol. Also, heavier masses in motion, Quan.
Prove the axe hurt Link.

You can still be knocked on your ass throughout the entire game. he needs the technique to do so.
Prove it didn't.
Ratings deal in preventing inappropriate content from being shown to children, nothing else.
Oh, really, when's the next time he wrestles a goat?
Gorons can in the early section of the game, sure, but they're giants made of stone. Heavier masses in motion.
The cutscene shows that it didn't.
Prove it did.

The same opportunity can occur later in the game.
They aren't made of stone. They have some stone on their large bodies. you twist because you are a fanboy. They are just large characters nothing special.
Surviving something doesn't mean immunity.
Run along.
