Honestly, Link wading through Lava is impressive, and while it is a game mechanic, Nintendo could have just made him instantly dead once he touches Lava, which is what happened in a lot of games back then, and since the game is the SOURCE MATERIAL, we have no choice but to take feats straight from the game.

So let me get this straight. I think the gloves make link stronger. You think they make what he picks up lighter? That goes against the in game text.
And you still haven't given a reaon why you think thor would win.
Ps. The master sword cut a continent in half. The biggoron sword is not stronger.

So the damage link takes is a game mechanic that shouldn't be taken seriously,

but the damage link gives is an 100% accurate description and should be taken as fact despite going against the gane's cutscenes and lore?
Except the text that tells you now have superstrength when you get them. The only reason you think they don't is becsuse of a game mechanic. TP link regularly tosses around giant rhino goats and gorons, but he doesn't hit hard enought to decapitate a bulbin in one go. The damage enemies take is as muchagame mechanic as snake being able to survive getting shot a thousand times.
And besides all that, you still haven't told us why tou think thor would win.

The description if very specific in regards to the ability granted.

It was implied. That text does say you now have extra power in your arms. If it gives you power to lift, it gives you power to hit. Its applying force.

But I couldn't comment on the first round because I haven't seen any of the Thor movies.

A hydraulic jack can't throw something like link did. Its bot just lifting, he also tosses those pillars around.
My point was, they're not commutative. Just because you can lift and throw heavy objects does not necessarily mean that you can swing a sword faster, which is the requirement for increasing the swords deceleration at impact.
You're grasping at straws to justify capabilities that Link has not shown.

No one argues that the Golden Gauntlets augment lifting-capacity, we know that from game-play.
Now that we've, at the end of page 2, established that Links gear does what Links gear does (I'm sure next I'll have to prove that Link breathes, or something?) do you have any other questions?

Ah, I see, you're being intentionally obtuse. The gauntlets give him strength.

Now you're just playing with semantics. The gauntlets give Link the power/strength to lift and move heavy objects, he does this in-game. It did not increase the damage he delivered with his sword or any other weapon in-game; and there is no external reason to believe it would from an analytical standpoint either.
Interesting point of view you have there.

Originally posted by AstnerI'm not sure this situation is the correct time to use that, as, according to them, it can't be applied to this situation.
Equivocation.
He has gauntlets that make him stronger, therefore he is stronger.
As far as it goes with punching power, I dunno.
But a sword swing should definitely qualify as a good use for the gauntlets.
