So, uh, back up what you said before or stop resorting to insults? 🙂
And nothing noteworthy happens.
Wait, you're citing the standard 'fell into a hole' mechanic that's been in Zelda games since 1991, as evidence that, despite nothing pointing to it, and many things, like Link not actually dying, that Link dies? Wut. haermm That happens anytime you go somewhere that you can't get out of. It doesn't teleport you to the beginning of the dungeon, either, just the door you came in from. Want to know what happens when Link actually dies? He dies. Put on the Zora armour, jump in, you get a gameover.
So, next you're going to tell me Link isn't strong enough to break a door or jump a gap? Puzzle gameplay is enabled this way, lol. Or that falling into holes kills him, even though we know he's been fired at the ground out of a cannon? 😬
Dudes with clubs hurt Link in gameplay, that doesn't prove anything. We know he's very durable. Everything we're shown on the subject points to Link not reacting to heat the same way we do. He'd have to be much less resistant to heat than his ancestor to die from falling in lava, and falling in lava doesn't do anything unless you wear armour that makes you weak to heat. He uses the iron boots to walk through steam vents that would cook a man alive and hangs around inside active volcanoes inches from lava.
Not that any of this is relevant anyway because Link is the better marksman and has actual defense whereas Khan does not.

🙄Link has never been displayed as being able to resist very high temperatures certain,y not to the level of phaser weaponry. In fact, in OoT, merely going into a volcano hurts him.

Link may be the better marksmen, but he is bring a bow to a gun fight and I have yet to see Link shoot an arrow faster thanKhan could get a shot off.
I'll admit, with the magic armor, Link wins. Without it, don't really see how other than maybe reflecting some shots of his mirror shield.

I thought you were beyond oversimplified logic? Conclusions such as "guns > swords" fails in the realm of fiction.

Link can also shoot him from far away and Link's arrows are not something he wants to be hit with, they pierce stone.
He doesn't.

Read what I said. I doubt Link could get an arrow off before Khan pulls the trigger.
Getting dangerously close to gameplay mechanics here. By the logic we're operating under, the fact that falling into magma merely "hurts" Link instead out outright killing him should be enough to prove he has superhuman heat resistance. Though we already knew that from his ability to walk near magma, which is enough to roast people alive. Is that what we're going with?
In any case, Khan's gun isn't really machine gun fast. He typically fired in short 4 or 5 shot bursts while sweeping it anyway. Link can block or dodge that pretty easily until Khan decides to use the big gun, and it has a charge time.
