Well, Superman has failed and succeeded to. But both are non-canon instances.So in-verse its characters like Thor and Cap that should be compared to Link. And seeing as what made Thor worthy was herotic self-sacrifice, a trait both Cap and Link possess, Link should be able to lift it.
I am going with that since reboot is weirdo vile.
Nah, it isn't that easy.

I asked if Superman failing to lift it was canon. No answered me and continued citing Superman and Woman as examples, so I assumed it was. Should've known better than to think a DC/Marvel could be canon, but okay.So Captain America vs. Link. That sounds like a closer match.

I'm not sure I recall Superman going through any trials to wield any legendary weapons...I'm not saying Link can lift Mjolnir just because he's some hero. I'm saying has specifically been proven wield of a lot of things that require their user to be worthy of them. Link proving his worth is a huge part of every game featuring the Master Sword, and a large part of several that don't. The Triforce of Courage can choose any host, but it goes to him. Twili gods and Fairy Queens have deemed him worthy of their power.
I'm afraid I just don't see why that kind of history doesn't count for anything. A lot of great heroes have failed, sure. How many have been deemed worthy of other legendary weapons?
So because he lifts up other legendary weapons he can lift up Mjolnir?
That seems like a very weak argument. I sure as hell wouldn't think King Arthur would be able to lift it for example.

Yes? It's a bit more than concrete than any other argument for lifting Mjolnir, so I'm not seeing the problem. I figure the best indication of someone being able to wield a weapon that requires a vague, ill defind 'worthiness' aspect is to have already wielded a weapon that requires a vague, ill defined 'worthiness' aspect. Link has done so. Mjolnir is apparently too arbitrary for any argument to hold water, so why not just establish a Legendary Weapon pattern?
I mean, what other argument is there? I'm curious how one is supposed to argue something like this. I don't see why King Arthur couldn't lift it, either. It feels like all we've established here is that no one should be able to wield Mjolnir.
