The Weakest link

Woah woah woah.. Ill give you Spell, the barriers and maybe the time thing, but the medallions and arrows? They're not afflicting moves or things that can be reflected.

They are indeed afflicting moves, lol. Turning people into slimes and stuff, also why wouldn't the arrows be reflectable? We know the mirror shield can reflect them.

Spell turns some into slimes. The other three are cold wind, earthquakes and fire which aren't afflicting.

Arrows because for whatever magical property the shield hash, the MS must strike things to reflect them. If he strikes an arrow it will just break as per in-game. If an arrow hits his body it will act as it usually does, as would the three medallions.

Ether Medallion paralyzes all enemies on screen, an affliction.

Bombos turns most into slimes. An affliction.

The Master Sword can explicitly repell and dispel magic, either way it's the single most effective defense on the field and any Link without one is severely handicapped.

Ether freezes enemies with ice, Bombos only burns things. Quake is able to turn mid-mobs into slimes or damage them with the shockwave, so only that half of Quake would be negated.

It is but when Link's rarely carry afflicting spells, all it is is a strong blade that may shoot out beams with some Link's.

So the master sword is only used to protect them from ALttP?

Well then. It may not be master sword level, but MM does have the ocarina of Time for protection.

Which is handy, it should protect him from OoA Link aging him longer than his expected life span with the HoA.

Lazzzyy... who's winning what in this? :T

I think we agreed that the hero of Time won round one, and now were just seeing which indivdual game is strongest. I believe it to be MM but screampsste thinks his lack of master sword is too much of a handicap.

With the OoT Link there exists a timeline where he loses to Ganon in the final battle. No such scenario exists for the other Links that I am aware of. So wouldn't he be a weaker one? 313

As the other timelines are created via time travel, I like to think that future game will touch on that.

I'm backing aLttP :T

Fire/Ice rods and Medallions granting him AoE ice, fire and shockwave attacks. Temp invisibility and forcefields, and he owns the Silver/Light Arrows. Physically his special tunics reduce damage, Titan Mitts makes him into a 50 tonner plus he is one of the Link's who can fire off blade beams. Annnddddd his Master Sword's strength can be increased in power via Tempered sword and further with the Golden Sword, strongest weapon in LoZ.

aLttP's greatest advantage is his magic, which is limited and the most dangerous aspect, the transformation, is protected against. Any other Link with a Master Sword can still tag him when he's intangible and the Lens of Truth counters his invisibility. MM Link actually has longer lasting invis than aLttP from the stone mask.

The fire and ice rods can be deflected, and silver/light arrows won't be particularly useful against other Links.

This is, imho, between WW Link and OoT Link for top spot.

Then it is that magical advantage which will be his claim to veektoreh!

'cause ya cant deflect AoE, or the blade beams. Pew pew mother****er.

Tbh even though his strength is < OoT, TP and WW, the power of the Golden Sword must aid in that department.

I see no reason the blade beams can't be deflected uhuh Barring that, damage him.

The AoE's shouldn't be too much trouble for the other Links.

TP Link is kinda out, no ToC means his inhuman strength is likely not in play.

Because they're beams.. made out of blades.. thats why :<

They should as the beams would still be like getting slashed by a guy who throws tanks, and the AoE's too. Link's have been shown to be susceptible to heat outside of tunics (cept lava), so Bombos could get a shot in. Every Link can be frozen over, even if temporary it can happen with Ether. So even if its not a major damage thing, Ether/Ice rod can be combo'd with the Golden Sword.

Wat, cant take the guys strength away :0 don't the other Link's get better durability for having the ToC too?

It's hard to say how much of their physical capability is the ToC. This thread is confusing due to none of them having any of the triforce pieces, and it being hard to say what that does to their relative power.

Fine, only wisdom and power are banned. I just didn't want any wishes for instawins.
