Think it's a toss up between OoT Link and TP Link, though ultimately I think OoT Link would take it.

Then again, my knowledge of The Legend of Zelda in general is a bit lacking considering i've actually played any of the games (Insert dramatic gasp here).

A paradox happens and the universe is destroyed! But have really just played OoT, TP, WW, MM between those 4....wow I really cannot say theres so many variables with all of them having their items. Its like Batman vs Batman vs Batman vs Batman vs Batman vs Batman vs Batman vs Batman, only they don't really need prep time due to all of them being able to think quick on their feet, really quick. 
 
In the end though...Link wins. :P

If you beat the game and then replay through it on Hero's mode (in skyward sword) Link can spam skyward strikes pretty fast, and technically (motion plus wiimote ftw) he has the best control of his sword therefore he has the best swordsmanship, at the end of the game with the True Master Sword he's cutting demons down in one hit (low class ones but still), gonna go with him.

I will say the rest of his gear isn't all that great, has the best slingshot, probably the weakest version of the bow (Twilight princess had bomb arrows), a whip that can steal stuff, a beetle he uses to scout things out of reach, the gust bellows (only use is blowing away sand), double clawshot, sailcloth that lets him drop from insane heights (from above clouds) and land safely, he can go underground with the mogma mitts, he has bombs that he can roll like bowling balls along with the usual overhead lob, water dragon's scale lets him swim underwater very well and gives him a spin attack, and fireshield earrings that help shield him from intense heats so he doesn't take burn damage

MM Link turns into a giant and stomps on all of them.

MM link hands down, he has so many options. If he can use fierce deity he will easily stomp due to his immense power and ability to shoot lightning from his sword in this form. If he can use giant's mask he will be so much larger and stronger than them that he will again easily win. I think it unlikely that he would be able to use these for this fight though considering fierce deity is only for boss battles, and giant's mask can only be equipped in the Stone Tower boss fight. However he can still use the stone mask to blend in so none of them will be aware of his presence, and by the time Oot link uses lense of truth to see him he could have spammed arrows, bombs or simply snuck up on him with his sword. Then there's the bunny hood which increases his speed greatly which is an obvious advantage. Finally he can take the form of a deku scrub (not much use), Goron (extremely strong and can roll extremely fast and sprout spikes) or zora (has to boomerangs, expert martial arts skills and can become invulnerable for a short time using magic metre). There are so many ways for him to easily win that this is a hideous curbstomp however you look at it.

Yeah, because all of the other Links have never fought a giant enemy before. The giant mask might help him here if it weren't for two things, while in giant form he can only use his sword and shield and he can only use the giant mask while in the boss room of Twinmold.

Fierce Dieties mask is disabled. Giant mask has it's obvious drawbacks and even if he could use it he wouldn't wouldn't be any stronger than Oot Link(Golden gauntlets), Lttp Link(Titan's Mitts), Loz Link(Power bracelet) etc.

Even if none of the others can see him(with the exception of Oot) they'd still hurt him every time they use an area effecting spell or item like Din's fire, the Quake medallion, Wolf Links Twilight attack, the Thunder spell, or even a spin attack. Other than Oot Link, TP Link would be able to sniff him out while in wolf form. Most of the other Links could easily counter it as well using items like Nayru's Love, Cane of Somaria, Magic Cape, Magic armor etc. to make themselves invisible and/or invincible.

The bunny hood is fast, but not as fast as the Pegasus boots or Wolf Link and SS Link while there sprinting and if he gets hit with a Boomerang he'll be stunned for a few seconds anyways.

All his transformation while powerful have obvious drawbacks, Goron Link still isn't as strong as the golden gauntlets or Titan's mitts and his punches are only as powerful as the Master Sword, since all the other Links have swords just as if not stronger it'll be hard for him to get a hit in and he can be easily tossed aside by TP Link (Iron Boots/Wolf Link).

Zora Link doesn't have nearly as many drawbacks, but he is weak to fire so fighting enemies who constantly use items like Fire arrows, Din's Fire, bombs, bomb arrows, Magic Candles and Fire spells is just setting himself up for failure.

@BlueComet: Im a huge Link fan whose your favorite character?

#10 Posted by BlueComet (997 posts) - 4 months, 17 days ago - Show Bio

@InnerAssassin: A Link to the Past.

Out of all the Zelda games I've played this one was the best so obviously he's my favorite.

This is a tricky one but I`m going with either Ocarina of Time, Skyward Sword or Twilight Princess but personally I think it would be Twilight Princess.

I just find it a little weird how everyone(so far) is saying that one of the newer versions of Link would win, Oot, MM, Tp or SS. It's like no one is even considering how much damage Loz or Lttp could do either that or who's posted hasn't played them. For one they both used Silver arrows which were so powerful they could literally destroy Ganon whereas the Light arrows only stunned him, not only are silver arrows more powerful they don't use up the magic meter either. There's a ton of other advantages that Loz and Lttp have, but I won't mention them right now.

@BlueComet: Awesome points! It was hard to decide though as I haven`t played all of the Legend of Zelda games and I haven`t played one in a while but only a few, but you bring up some really good points, and I agree. From what I know the earlier Links usually would fight or take out Ganon with ease. What do you think of Skyward Sword Link, wasn`t he pretty strong considering that he took down Demon King Demise? Also the Twilight Princess incarnation (possibly my favourite version of Link) has access to the Magic Armor, has the ability to transform into a Wolf and seems physically strong as well as he is also skilled due to having Hidden Skills.

#14 Posted by BlueComet (997 posts) - 4 months, 16 days ago - Show Bio

@NeonGameWave: I can't blame you for favoring TP Link, he's one of my favorites too. The fact that he has the hidden skills on top of having the natural sword skills that every incarnation of Link possess makes him by far the most skilled fighter. While other incarnations of Link focus on inventory over sheer skill TP Link has both and Wolf Link is just a beast. Haha

However, I'm still going to side with the Lttp incarnation. His weaponry and equipment more than make up for lack of skill, his Golden Sword, for example, is an upgraded version of the Master Sword and is twice as powerful as TP Mater sword plus it can shoot sword beams when he's at full health. He also has the Mirror shield giving him an advantage in the defense department.

Let me do a run through of some of his other weapons:

  • Silver Arrows: already mentioned
  • Titan's Mitts: Basically his version of the Golden gauntlets
  • Fire Rod: Shoots powerful fireballs
  • Ice Rod: Shoots freezing magic
  • Pegasus Boots: Let's him dash at high speeds, using his sword as a spear
  • Red Tunic: Cuts the damage he receives to 1/4

Giant Link would be one of their bigger enemies, i would say around 50 or 60 feet. He's had other enemies that large, but he's usually defeated them using the area or targeting their weak spot. The boss room thing is mainly a game mechanic. And while he only has the sword and shield, being stomped on would probably do decent damage, and it's not hard for him to do so repeatedly. Most of the Links with Gauntlets and other strength enhancement items, usually use it on stopped objects or slow-moving ones (maybe with the exceptions of Gorons, but i consider them to be pretty slow). And not a single one of the Links mentioned have ever had to face a Blade the size of Giant Links sword (they have faced foes with giant swords, but not one the size of Giant Link's).

@BlueComet: Are they all the same person?

#17 Edited by BlueComet (997 posts) - 4 months, 16 days ago - Show Bio

@Soothing_Sounds: You completely underestimate the other incarnations of Link. There strength items(Golden Gauntlets, Titan's Mitts, Power Bracelets etc.) are all in use here, so whether they've used them to stop a giant enemy before is irrelevant because the fact is they could lift Giant Link and throw him with ease, even Wolf Link tossed Ganon like it was nothing, so stepping on the other Links is a horrible idea. The fact that the Giant Mask can only be used in a specific area is not a game mechanic it has to do with the Masks origin and even if he could use the mask not only would he not be able to defeat the other Links(he might be able to take 1 or 2), but the mask drains his magic and when he runs out his Game's over.

@InnerAssassin: Not technically, they're just different incarnations of the same person, like Aang and Korra from Avatar.

Well OoT and MM are the same person, so it causes  a paradox as they fight thus ripping away the fabric of time and space and destroying the universe.

Yes but that fainting thing was just 1 of 2 possible things that could have happened, it was just so lucky(plot) that Jennifer only fainted. :P I mean when Marty was at the dance, Doc warned him not to run into his past self or it could cause a paradox.

wow seriouslly thats kinda dissapointing that they're not the same guy.

#22 Posted by ArticulateT (181 posts) - 4 months, 16 days ago - Show Bio

Majora's Mask Link and Ocarina of Time Link are the same person, technically. At the end of OoT, the timeline was split. Adult Link was deleted from the Sacred, or Adult Timeline as Zelda sent him back to experience his childhood. The Hyrule, or Child Timeline Link returned the Master Sword to the Temple of Time and then Navi left. Link's reason for leaving Hyrule then was to find Navi.

As for who would win, it's a toss up between OoT Link and TP Link, though, SS Link puts up a good fight, mainly because SS Link is actually a Soldier, TP Link has shown evidence of sword use prior to the game's begining, while OoT Link only just picked up a sword. Then again, a lot of the items in OoT would give that Link a decent upper hand.

Though, MM Link might make a decent showing, given that one of his masks turns him into a god and all.

@BlueComet:The items never hard to work against an opposing force besides gravity. The Giant Mask thing not working outside the stone temple because of it's origins is probably correct. I kinda remember something in the description about that, but that just seemed to be there so that it wouldn't seem odd that it didn't work anywhere else. Then there's other ways besides stomping to kill the Links, like slashing away at them with a giant sword, or bashing them with a giant shield. And if he runs out of magic, i thought he just reverts, once again that's probably something i'm wrong about as it's been a decent amount of time since i played the game. I don't think i'm underestimating the other Links, i just think that turning into a Giant would be pretty useful.
