Link links Mario to a stomp.

Link. He can tank way more punishment with his shield(s), defensive magic and any health restoring items he may have in his bottles as well as fight effectively at any range.

This is a stomp if it is A Link to the Past Link or Majora's Mask Link.

Does mario have his ROG power ups? If so I see him winning 6/10, due to the Garnet Star.

Mario wins thanks to RPG stats.

Link is much faster & a better fighter.

Not to mention Mario dies by getting hit by a 4 foot tall turtle.

That was original Mario he has evolved since then and has a warehouse of power ups to choose from countless games allowing him to rain down meteor's and turn himself into indestructible metal, bypass all defenses and so on.

Mario is also much more agile, Link's maneuverability and speed is sluggish in comparison.

@Dextersinister: His metal ability is a special addition to his normal abilities. He doesn't have constant access to it, right?

Mario's agility is rather inconsistent. He usually can't avoid a simple swing of a sword very easily.

The metal body is a badge or something along those lines from his many RPG's.

I am going by his in game agility to jump incredibly high, bounce of wall's and run pretty fast vs Link's standard human agility. On experience Mario is still the same character from countless games where Link although the same person in spirit still only retains the memory of one.

and he also got to make cake with Peach wink wink.

Finding this rather hilarious, being its a parallel with Superman vs Batman only here...its not so completely one sided. But ah anyway, the two will have a hard time killing one another seeing as there isn't any limits on what they have other then Mario eating only one mushroom at a time...then it seems to be a stalemate.

However, Link could use the 4Sword making 3 other copies of himself to help out(though Mario could do the same too with the Copy Flower). Mario's star only last a few seconds right? A minute at best before he has to use another one? So within that time gap, then Mario could be killed. The same could possibly happen to Link, however that is more difficult given he can survive some pretty hard stuff, and with all his gear he is very versatile and such. Not to mention Nyru's love, runs on magic while his Magic Armor runs on rupees....which is funny if you think about the names...but anyway ya, so this fight either goes on forever or one of them dies which I am leaning towards Mario on dying before Link.

I mean unless Mario can use the Invincibility leaf, but that only comes out after Mario has died 5 times...so unless he has it then he can lose.

Mario has flip flopped in power a lot. Even if we give him all of his gear, his physical "stats" in his most recent games (Super Mario 3D land, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Super Mario Bros Wii U) aren't that impressive. Mario could use his power-ups but most of them cannot be "stacked" with each other, and most of the best ones are temperary. Switching between them will be when he's the most vulnerable.
