The Scenario
Greater Sci-Fi combatant

Russell's car feat isn't very impressive considering its context. It wasn't going very fast and is not nearly as heavy as a Goron. Russell tipping the car up on its front tires, however, is a bit better. On the other hand, we've also seen Link toss around blocks of solid ice much larger than a car, and Wolf Link did stop Beast Ganon without boots.
He isn't faster nor is he stronger IMO. Russell doesn't need a sword to rip through flesh but it seems Dorf does. No, it doesn't. Russell has slap killing powerful vampire strength.
Ganondorf made a Sage explode by grabbing him. A bit more impressive than a slap-decapitation. If Ganondorf hit Russell there would be vampire chunks flying everywhere. It'd be a real mess. Recall that Link blocks that kind of strength with ease.
The cannon is a looney tune feat which is different there. It's a ride not designed to kill. You fans take it out of context. This isn't the game and Russell only needs one attack to kill him. Link isn't invulnerable nor do you have any proof he is.
So? It still happened and whether it is toony or not is irrelevant given the sheer consistency of Link's resilience. You are aware he Link improves over time, yes? Why would 1 attack from Russell kill Link when it would take 48 hits in the game? "This isn't the game"? So what is it, the cutscenes? The ones that have Link being fired out of cannons and tanking axe blows to the face?
Please make up your mind, quanchi, on which version of Link we're using.
We don't know what happens but ultimately Dorf does win. Midna might have fallen and sprained her ankle.
For that claim you'll need evidence (Fused Shadow Midna has no ankles.) As it stands, we see Midna's actual attack and the immediate aftermath of Ganondorf winning. That's enough to show he was clearly unharmed by her attack. Do you have anything that disputes this?
Voldemort made himself immortal by splitting up his soul whereas magic keeps the wound from being fatal. Completely different.
Yeah, Voldemort used magic to keep his soul removal from being fatal, as seen when he dies after the magic is cut off. It was keeping him alive, he is undead according to you. I don't recall any vampires having big wounds that don't heal, either.
He did not live forever though. He was soundly defeated in this game every time he showed up.
Nor did Voldemort, what is your point here? Ganondorf remained immortal until the artifact that gave him immortality was removed.
Apples and oranges.
Exactly, Ganondorf's "evil power" (Triforce of Power) and the Twili's magic (Fused Shadows/Mirror of Twilight) cannot be compared the way you are trying to. They are different and required different methods to remove in game.
That power backed him. That is indisputable. We have never seen the Twili magic used against Dorf in this manner then say by fused shadows. Midna failed.
You know how Link and Ganondorf play magic tennis sometimes? Whether you call it Ganonball or Dead Man's Volley, one thing is made clear: Ganondorf is not fully immune to his own magic. Why then, is he shown to be immune to Twili magic Fused Shadows power? Why, then, was he affected by Twili magic in the form of the Mirror of Twilight a long time ago? The answer is rather simple: Ganondorf gained a great amount of magical resistance over time.
So with that magical resistance, Marnie isn't doing anything to him. In fact, Ganondorf could just possess Marnie. Antonia did, so we know Marnie is vulnerable to possession. Then, Ganondorf's a necromancer, too. He controls Stalfos (skeletons), Redeads (zombies), and his Phantom horsemen. Zant used Ganondorf's power to control an undead creature as powerful as Stallord. Heh, Marnie and the vampires are just Ganondorf's puppets now.
