So you admit Link is physically stronger than a giant, twilight amped super Goron?
You admit that the boots do not make him stronger?
You admit he tossed around a Goron so heavy it snapped the chains holding up the platform they were on, and shifted the massive weight of it just by moving around it?
You admit that Link can walk in boots so heavy they outweight the aforementioned Goron?
You admit he's so strong that even while they're being pulled by magnets that can hold the massive weight of said boots against gravity, even when those magnets and gravity are both pulling in the same direction, more than doubling their effective weight?

The same guy didn't handle Link and Achilles. LOL.
That doesn't change how Link stacks up to his peers. That's why feats don't mean much a lot of the time.
This was just generalized rules he adheres to. I didn't say it was all relevant to our discussion.
Link also has another older gent who can beat Gorons as well with the boots. His feats don't separate him from his peers.
When they power up at some point they can. It's unlikely but when they become more powerful it usually comes through in gameplay. Not the case here since he really doesn't.
Link isn't a 100 tonner. It's like saying Gladiator destroys planets but that doesn't mean much when he runs into the Hulk.
Kratos is portrayed as beyond his peers and is on another power level entirely.
Asura is also portrayed on another level. Link is not.
Bo is as well with the boots. Not stronger but strong enough. Link's 'older out of shape peer did the same thing. He isn't some super strong badass in his own game.
This is still up? Achilles had a god showing against my namesake, but Link's on a whole other level here. He might humor the Pitt, but in the end he wins.

I think Link wins. Link has battled monsters from the ground to the sky to the water. His power would cleave Achilles in two. Link isnt stupid. He wouldnt rush in. He would take his time, find an opening, and exploit it however possible.
I never said he wasn't superhuman but I contest the degree in which you and others put him at.
Being proactive and acting immediately. Indecision is the worst thing a warrior can do. Due to his sudden appearance. Link did nothing to even protect himself or put himself in a position to do so.
Not that it does in theory per say but in the manner in which it occurred to Link in the dire situation he was in you are damn right it was.
People are throwing spears at him and shooting arrows while he is fighting people. Acting like he doesn't have to be aware of his surrounding when stimuli is occurring everywhere is stupid.
I never said he needs her aid with his sword drawn but in other areas he does.
I have probably like 3 times the posts you do. All that means is you aren't high on my priority list.
Being shy around girls shows a lack of confidence ie. lack of intelligence.
In the dire situation Link was in he should be wary of anyone especially someone who just appeared before him.
Link just stood there like a dope.
He survived it but it all depends what does it really hit like in any fight. Link isn't immune to sword or ax strikes because of that scene.
Can't he also die if he does this wrong ? LOL at him oneshotting henchmen.
Achilles cut through solid gold and easily. LOL at rock busters. Bo also beat a Goron in a wrestling match. They are big and weigh a lot. No biggie.
We don't see Bo in those situations. We do know that with the boots both can best Gorons showing it isn't that great. Bo isn't some great warrior nor is he in his prime.
Most in fiction are superhuman including Achilles.
Link isn't immune and does amazing things but most heroes do in fiction. You try to twist his feats and his portrayal constantly. I don't. This happens all the time to heroes. They frequently do amazing to the point it becomes the norm.
While arrows are being shot and spears are being tossed. Maybe you think it's just two people he needs to worry about. LOL.
That isn't anything comparable to all the stimuli one would see taking a beach with arrows and spears coming in all direction. i can keep my eye on four r five people just fine but hundreds, nope.
So basically Link does have the physical strength to lift and throw the weight of a Gorons, regardless of Boots because Link is superhuman? Could have said that ages ago, we already knew you didnt agree with the specific weight.
You havent answered why. Why on Earth would Achilles attack a defenceless stranger who isnt paying attention to him let alone attacking him? Can you honestly tell me that in the same position Achilles would, after seeing said stranger standing there doing absolutely nothing, draw his weapon and suddenly attack the guy or hide behind his shield? Do you turn around and punch anyone that happens to be near you? No.. well I hope thats a no.
And Link's always in a dire situation, does that mean he should be not only wary of, but get straight into a offensive/defensive stance around every stranger thats near him?
That was about Dorf. And that summed up as 'yep, it does'.. not really a reasoned response.
Though the same things said in the other thread so guess we dont need that topic here.
When did I say he didnt have good awareness? He does, like irl humans that went into battle situations like him. Difference is those irl humans are Athletic, he's Peak. He has battle awareness, but thinking its so high that no human can ever come close to that level is baseless.
In what areas does he need her then that shows a lack in anything for Link? How she teleports him long distances? How she TKs large objects?
Why are you talking about post count? I'm talkin' about real life busy, not making other posts busy O.o
..on what planet does confidence to talk to girls = intelligence? Have you seen fictional and irl nerds? And when was this shy scene?
How does it not end at "He survived tanking an axe to the face"? Only receives damage in gameplay, still doesn't kill him.
No the specific attack just leaves him open, but its not the specific attack thats my point, its that with a strong strike like this Link can one-shot foes. And the only thing that arent taken out in one hit are mini-boss level monsters and up, so the bomb tanking Shadow Beasts are taken out in one slash.
Which scene did he cut through gold? And please tell me its not the beach scene where he throws his sword through a thin gold helmet.. Gorons can /eat/ rock, not even their physical strength, chewing, or even by rolling.. Gorons have higher punching feats. If the gold cutting was that helmet, chewing rocks alone is above it.
Basically you have no proof that Bo could replicate any of Links other strength feats? No proof that Bo could even lift a Goron? No reason to believe Bo is stronger that when we know? (Who said he didn't do it in his prime?)
But how many superhumans are doing things anywhere near the level of the feats Link has shown?
How exactly is it twisting a feat? Link does a feat, we see him do a feat, we say he did that feat.. help me find the twist when the creator stepped up to say he has the strength to do these feats.
You might want to re-watch the scene again. After the Tortoise shield do you remember how many arrows and spears were flying about? One.. the single arrow that hit his shield.
So yeah, all he was doing was taking one 2 at a time with a third guy standing out of range. 2+ people, not hundreds. 4 Darknuts >> 2+ humans.
Can take that as a yes then?

I said this ages ago. Never once did I say he was a human level character.
Due to the circumstances of what he's going through. Link is on a epic adventure and he stands there like a dope. Achilles isn't the wait and see what this guy does type of guy. If I am on a massive quest in Hyrule I wouldn't let my guard down. You want to ignore the circumstances at the time. I don't.
In that circumstance you are damn right he should have.
I doubt there is a single instance of a human being ever coming close to replicating those feats in reality. You can pretend they have or can but it's just you being unrealistic. To fight Dorf's animal form.
yeah, yeah.
Yes, most nerds lack intelligence when it comes to dealing with women. Same goes for nerdy Link.
The axe didn't hit his throat or anything. it was vague. The scene doesn't say hey axes can't hurt him.
certain foes. The foes he does so to aren't very powerful and there are more examples of foes he can't oneshot than foes he can.
He cuts the statue of Apollo's head off with his sword. That feat doesn't mean to me that everyone in the film is nothing compared to him. It's just an impressive feat his skill is what separates him from his peers. The portrayal is obvious.
It's a shared feat. We only have one direct comparison showing Link isn't beyond some old Mayor type character. Link isn't beyond his peers so I don't need to prove anything. You need to prove in direct comparison he's beyond them all.
Bo does so.
Acting like those feats override how he interacts with his peers. it'd be like me saying Achilles cuts through gold so all his peers can't even stop his sword due to his strength feats. it's twisting a feat in order to portray him in a more favorable light.
I never said it was more than one arrow. I didn't want you to take my words literally.
No. There are far more people in the same vicinity than in Link's battles. Much more to adjust and react to than Link's scenarios.

Link's stopped multi ton masses in motion without being crushed, been hit in the face with an axe (by someone much stronger than achilles) and been unhurt, been fired at the ground out of a cannon in the sky, been unhurt.
It is not unproven. A bronze xiphos won't do shit here.

That happens all the time in fiction and as soon as a sword hits the guy they are all cut. If you don't have one example you are using fanboy physics. To make a claim you need to back it up.
Thor and Superman have awesome durability unlike Link. They have examples of resisting said tactics unlike Link.
I can resist a punch but that doesn't mean no punches can hurt me. Same thing. We also know what scene doesn't imply immunity. The scene just shows him surviving it.
Achilles can cut through gold. Achilles can cut through Link's skin. You have no proof as to suggest otherwise.
Gender: Male Location: 1/9.7'rd Horseman of the Apocalypse
Lol. An axe from someone who can toss around rhinoceros sized boars is a very different animal from what Achille's has done. A thin sheet of soft, malleable metal? That's supposed to compare?
Link is more durable than Achille's weapon, Quan, it is worth nothing here.
