Being able to freeze volcanos, rip apart boulders, take out giant monsters with only your wits, out sailing/fighting pirates, and wielding 1/3 the power of omnipotence= kickassery.

That ain't nothing compared to Gabriel or Kratos.

You beat a game I really didn't care for. You seem to judge yourself by beating a kiddie game. How unbelievably sad. It does make it unappealing to me. I don't find kiddie art appealing.

I highly doubt it. Gabriel Belmont and Kratos kick ass. Link not so much.

A game you got stuck on.* haermm

Then why did you run away instead of doing the battlezone?

Yes, I did. Games seem to be the center of your universe and how you define yourself. Not the case with me.

There was no formal challenge or thread created to show a real serious interest.

I beat a videogame when I was 10, obviously I center my universe on games. durlaugh

NemeBro intended to battlezone you, and you scampered off. Nothing less. 'There was no thread, bawh' is an excuse.

Nemebro never pmed me he simply made a comment or so in a random thread. You can tell me when I am serious because I go into forums with an open ended challenge. You backed down. I knew you would.

Keep saying it, it'll never be true.

NemeBro showed up, you slunk away. Nothing less. No excuses.

he made a comment. He didn;t issue a formal challenge. Anyways, are you his slave ? He does have balls I will give him unlike you. You are the lowest. he'd actually ante up. You never would.

that's adorable coming from someone whose backed down on 3/3 battlezones since I've known him.

Girls girls, you're both very pretty, but I think we may be a wee bit off topic here.

Things get that way with Quan. He doesn't absorb reason of facts very well so bouncing them off of him gets boring, quickly.

Also, I'm prettier. TELL ME I'M PRETTIER.

The only person who has backed down from a challenge is you. You had the chance and proved once and for all you don't have a pair of nuts.

He's upset someone accepted. It only highlights his cowardice.

Yep. That guy who tried to double the stakes, he's the coward, not the one who backed down, right?

I don't have the time nor am interested in your offer. I entertained the idea of a another but the matchup is something I do not find appealing in any way, shape, or form.

Cutting a gold statue sheet Vs knocking a 5 ton animal around (just under a large bull Asian elephant, 6 tons). Assuming Achilles has 1 ton strength, Bulbin was striking Link's flesh with at least 5 times that.

Assuming Link did suffer damage, it was obviously not fatal seeing as he got back up instantly unphased. In fact he took it better than a person takes a punch.

E.g. Compare getting punched by a guy that can bench 250 lbs to a guy that can only bench 50 lbs. If the first guys attack only dealt minor damage, how much damage will the second guy do?

I said this ages ago. Never once did I say he was a human level character.
Due to the circumstances of what he's going through. Link is on a epic adventure and he stands there like a dope. Achilles isn't the wait and see what this guy does type of guy. If I am on a massive quest in Hyrule I wouldn't let my guard down. You want to ignore the circumstances at the time. I don't.
In that circumstance you are damn right he should have.

Then why argue the Boots thing? Anyhow, so what you're saying is that if you were Link you would not only draw your sword and get into a stance with every single person that just so happens to be standing near you, but you would also strike to kill them even if they are innocently standing there and not paying attention to you? Can you show me Achilles killing a man that was doing nothing but standing there? Can you show me Achilles putting up a guard against an innocent passer by?

If Zant was actually a good guy, in that situation Link should have still killed him instantly just for being there?

I doubt there is a single instance of a human being ever coming close to replicating those feats in reality. You can pretend they have or can but it's just you being unrealistic. To fight Dorf's animal form.
yeah, yeah.

Any close quarters war situation. It will not be on the level of Achilles, but it means that athletic humans can fight a man while being surrounded by dozens of people . Again, not on his level but it shows that humans can have a decent battle awareness. Make that human a peak human and you'll have something similar to this.

In the whole game, one instance? How does Midna helping Wolf Link stop a charging Ganon show any lack in human Link's combat area when he can stop him without her?

Yes, most nerds lack intelligence when it comes to dealing with women. Same goes for nerdy Link.
The axe didn't hit his throat or anything. it was vague. The scene doesn't say hey axes can't hurt him.
certain foes. The foes he does so to aren't very powerful and there are more examples of foes he can't oneshot than foes he can.
He cuts the statue of Apollo's head off with his sword. That feat doesn't mean to me that everyone in the film is nothing compared to him. It's just an impressive feat his skill is what separates him from his peers. The portrayal is obvious.
It's a shared feat. We only have one direct comparison showing Link isn't beyond some old Mayor type character. Link isn't beyond his peers so I don't need to prove anything. You need to prove in direct comparison he's beyond them all.

So its intelligence with women now? Not general or practical intelligence? Still haven't said what scene.

It hit his body, body=skin. Like I said if Link can survive (don't even need to say unharmed and tanked) being struck from someone several times stronger than Achilles, how much damage do you think he's going to deal?

Enemies Link can not one-shot in game: Ganondorf, Dorf empowered Zant, Stallord and Darknuts. Zant who can take the IronBall strike with little damage is heavily damaged by it. Stallord is a whale sized skeleton, and even then it only takes like 5 of these hits to kill it. Darknuts, which are tougher than some bosses, only survive because when the hit lands it knocks their armour off. These are the only ones. Besides Dorf theres the durable Zant taking massive damage, the massive Stallord taking massive damage and the durable Darknuts armour being destroyed.
Enemies Link can one-shot: About 70 other types of enemies, including the mini-boss Darkhammer who can fling that Iron Ball around effortlessly.

Just saw, cutting the likely hollow statue, so thin gold plate again. Which puts him just above peak human, and well below 90% of Link's feats.

No, that single feat is a shared one. Just because Bo is able to push back a movable Goron doesnt mean he can lift up the same Goron, the giant one or replicate any other feat Link does. I'm not even sure of the logic of saying two people are equal when one only does one of the weakest feats the other did.

Bo does so. Acting like those feats override how he interacts with his peers. it'd be like me saying Achilles cuts through gold so all his peers can't even stop his sword due to his strength feats. it's twisting a feat in order to portray him in a more favorable light.
I never said it was more than one arrow. I didn't want you to take my words literally.
No. There are far more people in the same vicinity than in Link's battles. Much more to adjust and react to than Link's scenarios.

Bo pushed over a 5 ton Goron in a friendly wrestling match. Which is still more impressive than the majority of low level superhumans that are barely above peak.

Me, you, everyone and the creator says he's superhuman.. and the only thing you have against it is how he acts with his peers? Even when he's able to one-shot.. literally 96% of the enemies in LoZ. And peers? The only ones who can take an attack on their actual body are Dorf, Zant and Stallord. The three strongest bosses in the game. So no there's no twisting.

"Maybe you think it's just two people he needs to worry about" Seeing as it was a single arrow, yes I can safely say he only had 2+ people to worry about.

For like a few seconds as he was running to the clearing, and how many of those people in his vicinity were attacking him? 2. 2 humans < 4 Darknuts.
