Khan (Into Darkness) vs. Link (TP)

And don't arbitrarily present me with some recommendation to "watch the movie." I did that twice when it first came out, and again since then. It doesn't render your fallacious verdict somehow self-evident. You'll have to do better than that.

Let the record reflect that I enjoy both of these characters AND their respective media. My opinion on this is, and remains to be, objective.

It is about matchups. Link is a medieval warrior given the proper gear up against medieval threats which isn't the same as what Khan brings to the table. He is a highly skilled assassin who knows how assess his foes strengths and weaknesses. He will have a field day with laser guns against someone with medieval weaponry.

Shame how you can't actually prove that oh so advanced tech can do anything noteworthy to Link.

We see his weaponry take down ships whereas we have seen clubs ko Link.

Take a seat, noob.

He did modest damage to a small shuttle. Link could have done more with an arrow, lol. That's worth nothing. Also, he keeps missing in this clip, he probably won't even hit Link with his ineffectual gun. 🙂

The scene makes it clear his skill level. Link would be shitting his pants as the Klingons murdered him.

Khan wouldn't be able to handle magic.

What's more durable, my futuristic iPod, or the rock fired from a trebuchet?

Link's feats >

The scene makes it clear Khan is outmatched. His aim is not as good as Link's, his weapon is less deadly.

Link has been drummed by idiots wielding clubs.

Khan destroys him from a distance. The guy wields a sword and shield like a caveman.

A human is as durable as Link? You can't be this stupid?

Link has resisted being crushed by rolling Gorons.

Khan can't hurt him with that BB gun. Also, I lol'd super hard at you trying to imply lasers > arrows.

Let's see a real laser.

Now a real arrow.

The arrow is more dangerous, even using the real life counterparts.

The fact that Link's arrow is more akin to a rail gun slug is just icing.

Would be awesome if cavemen had swords and shield.. with futuristic iPods playing death metal.

In which case, how would Khan do trading blows with someone who tanks castlebusting attacks, crushes the responsible magical superweapon with his bare hand, and takes numerous hits from a sword that can cut out landmasses wielded by one with Class T+ strength?

You put far too much faith in Khan's weapon, and forget also that Link is capable of near instant combat analysis. Your comparison suddenly seems much less meaningful.

These lasers have more impressive showings than links arrows. Try and stay on point. You're an idiot.

The guy turns bodies into stumps while arrows don't. The über gun destroys ships whereas arrows would bounce off. You really are a menace to the intellectual community.

Link had help from Midna, gear, and a party helping him. He has no chance against someone from a distance with the guns and the training Khan has.

Link's arrows have done more impressive things than damage a small shuttle, lol.

Link's arrows would tear through that shuttle, liquify everyone inside and pull them out the exit hole due to the vaccuum left in its' wake. 🙂

Khan isn't going to trade blows but if he did he'd use leverage and his skill to hurt Link who has been ko'd by clubs to the head.

What magic here from Link can't he handle ?

You misunderstand. Link doesn't deal with only medieval weaponry. He fights giant monsters, magical artifacts, and spellcasters. Heck, he's had lasers and energy blasts fired at him before, and he can reflect them.

Has Khan ever dealt with a shapeshifter? He's never seen someone turn into a wolf before. He's never fought ghosts, or giant skeletons or dragons, and he's certainly never fought against Twilight.

Link has fought lasers and energy blasts, plus all of that and superhuman foes. Link has the edge in experiences here.

What have they done which is more impressive ?

No, that's hilarious since they don't even destroy the weaklings from Hyrule. Keep being silly.

Link's arrows blast apart giant boulders.
