Link (Legend of Zelda) vs. Superman (DC Universe)

Originally posted by ScreamPaste
No. Superman is FTL, Link's arrows in OoT would be hypersonic, escape velocity is mach 11. And Supes is not only 'a little' FTL, he's very FTL. He's able to travel light years in fairly short time periods. (Krypton was some light years from Earth, forget exact number, for example, and he's been to where it was on more than one occasion.)

Even with the whole triforce, unless Link stops time (which he should be able to do) Supes will be much, much faster than him. He just 'shouldn't' be able to do any permanent damage to Link because he has no magical means at his disposal to overcome the immortality it should give him.

Again, this is mostly guesswork. And to be clear, without the Triforce Supes would still take this with ease.

Ok. I was just wondering because it Supes a minute (I believe) to reach the sun and back. My question was essentially "how long did Link's arrow take?" I guess you kinda answered my questions though. Still, I know it took less time, thus causing my speculation.

Keep in mind, Scream, they're not aiming to kill each other.

Also, Link generally does fight to kill, but with the full Triforce he (theoretically) has the option to render Superman harmless.

Technically, he gets three full triforces.

The cane of byrna protects link from all damage as well as harming anything that gets close.

Can superman break magical protection?

You're applying a no limits fallacy to that cane. It might protect from all-damage in-game, but we really don't know how it would deal when it gets punched by someone who can bench press celestial bodies.

Even so, Supes is strong and fast enough to KO a triforceless Link pretty easily, even Omni Link. The physical gap is too wide for anything other than Supes stupidly letting Link do something cheap like use the Spell spell to let Link have a win.

Typically, yes. Link does go for the throat, but he's usually confronting evil. Regardless of outcome, I see them befriending one another or some shit.

Link will somehow get an item/weapon/upgrade from Supes.

So... reflexes do nothing.

No! I wanna see blood, guts, brains and curbstomps! No surrendering.

No one's surrendering. Lol. They just likely wouldn't kill each other IMO.

i don't see why not. Superman is usually written that if he is sufficiently pissed or motivated there is almost nothing that can stand up to his physical might.

But would one kryptonite arrow really piss him off that much. And as his quiver is not made of lead, can superman deal with a few layers of magical protection and being that close to kryptonite?

Since you put it this way, it does seem as if Superman would approach it rather directly. Not to mention Link can still apply magic to those arrows. I can't say for sure though.

It takes time for Kryptonite to effect him, IIRC. It's honestly at its' most useful in his quiver so it stays on his person, Link should not be able to land an arrow.

Now that you mention it he will probably see the kryptonite in the arrows and either dodge or destroy them with heat vision.

And no it wouldn't piss him off that much. Superman doesn't throw planetary level punches so easily. Eventhough he will most likely break that barrier. In comics Kryptonite is not the "instant defeat" it has been in movies. THe Pre-Reboot Superman has sort of developed a resistance to kryptonite. He has endured being poisoned with kryptonite for weeks. Being shot with kryptonite. Bombarded etc. etc.

Paste's strategy works better. So 👆@Paste

It was jusy an example. Exactly what needs to happen for him to muscle through magic?

Him wanting to do it most likely.

Consistency is the problem with comics, but here on KMC we take characters at their best(no matter how other posters try to simply focus on other character's low showings)

Wanting to what though? The way I understand it, superman isn't going for the kill here. Hi punch shouldn't be at full power. Would he get in link's space that is constantly hurting him with magic and kryptonite for a strike that would blow his brains out? It seems like he would either back off and try something else or hold back on his punch, making it unable to pass through the cane's light.

Could you imagine how f**king awesome that would be?! Hahaha! 😄
