Link vs. Aku/Samurai Jack vs. Ganondorf

The respective protagonist of both series have been tasked with defeating the great evils of each other's worlds. Link and Ganon will be examined as their OoT and TP versions. All things considered for every character. All abilities and standard equipment will apply. CIS off. Will our heroes prevail?

If the Master Sword can hurt Aku(which even standard I'm sure it can), and Jack's katana can hurt Ganon(which again yes), then yeah, they both win.

They've got feats enough from the game and show respectively that in a straight fight they can take the big bads down.

However, if they had to do what the other did in it's entirety, then they fail.

1 v 2 v 1?

Link vs. Aku

Samurai Jack vs. Ganondorf

I can definitely see the protagonist winning in both cases.

Hmmm, do I need to add to the heroes' challenge somehow, or is it still a fair contest?

Nah. This is interesting as is.

Jack's sword is certainly capable of hurting Ganondorf, but it lacks certain qualities the Master Sword does, such as protection, which is why Aku keeps BFRing him. Ganondorf should come out on top because hax, imho.

Aku's semi-hax himself IIRC. Time manipulation and such. Plus, Jack's athleticism (superior to this version of Link IMO) and cunning could compensate for his shortage of specialized armaments.

Jack can run with a 700 ton sumo on his back, IIRC, that shouldn't put him above Link physically. mmm

Can't he also jump 100ft. carrying 20 tons? I don't remember the specified version of Link being quite that strong, but that's besides the point.

Jack shrugged off being crushed by a 700 ton sumo, never actually lifted the guy fully. What he ran (and did acrobatics) with was a Dangoro sized rock, I'd say he's above TP but below OoT in pure strength.

Jack's sword has reflected energy balls, so I can definitely see a round of Dead Man's Volley happening. Jack's pretty fast, too. .

I read it and looked for it, but couldn't find Jack ever moving with Sumoto on his back, only surviving the weight.

[Scene: Sumoto jumps up and bellyflops Jack. Jack pops his head and arm out from under the flab, unharmed that we can tell, and struggles to move any further than that. Its only when he's struggling to get his other arm out where his topknot tickles Sumoto, who's weakness and reason for defeat is being ticklish.]

Otherwise he's doing as Sacred said, hundred feet jumps with large boulders on his back.

Edit: Dammit Scene >__>

Don't forget the water drop feat. (Thanks for showing me that. 😄)

Ganon should be able to handle that level of speed with little problem. The real issue is and will be that Jack's sword is pretty freakin' hax if he actually hits you with it. With CIS off, that should never happen, Ganondorf should just TK him or AoE him at the start. shrug

Considering it was forged by three gods (of different theologies) from righteous energy from one pure of heart (Jack's dad), I could only imagine.

One can't help but see the thematic similarity between these characters.

In holyness I cant see it being more or less effective than the Master Sword.

Overall stats and that sword, Jack should be on par with TP Link. Differences being Jack's skill adv and the MSs protection, and given the opponent he's facing Id wager that the protection has is more important.

Dorf is shown to be physically equal to TP Link, who only wins due to the offensive and defensive properties of the MS. Jack lacking half of that can only be dangerous, so Id say hed lose most of the time..

..then again he did defeat Aku, right?

That was my thinking. Even if Aku isn't quite as dangerous as Ganondorf (disputable), he's a comparable foe in many different ways, so there should be SOME familiarity.

Dunno about that. For equaling Jack, Aku should equal Dorf in stats, with Aku having greater destructive magic with Dorf taking better hax.

Only thing I remember from their fight is that they did some h2h action, no sword. Unsure what happens if Aku directed his magic at Jack.

I'm missing the part where Jack is physically comparable to Ganondorf. 😐 I mean, it's not all that relevant since all of Jack's killing power is in his sword, not his strength, but struggling under 700 tons doesn't sound to be in the ballpark of Link or Dorf. shrug Irrelevancies.

Keep in mind OP has the CIS off as well.

Jack is quick enough to make up anu stats/protection link has over him. I see both swordsman winning... probably more easily than up against their own badguys.
