The strongest Ganon that Link ever defeated is in Link to the Past, He's a ganon controlling the entire Triforce and in his own world, so by that metric alone, LTTP link might be the strongest Link, He has Medaillons who can kill anything on screen, He has the golden sword with is the master sword but upgraded twice. I've seen a few "Who is the strongest link video" who class him as the strongest Link ever.

[@CRISIS_COMICS]

Don't trust any Zelda power scaling that isn't mine. Ganon wasn't controlling an entire Triforce, he had it in another room but he wasn't being empowered by it. This is confirmed in the Nintendo Player's Guide to Link's Awakening, where they summarize the past games, and they state that Zelda 1 Ganon has the same power as he did in ALttP; Zelda 1 Ganon having no Triforce amp at all. The Dark World was created when Ganon wished on the Triforce, it has no correlation to his own power level. Killing fodder enemies isn't impressive, and the HoT's Master Sword gets upgraded many times by Great Fairies, with the Biggoron Sword being twice as strong on top of that.

Phase 2 Link uses Long-shot to put distance between himself and the AOE incoming. Then equips Fierce Deity mask to be able to fight better at a distance with his range slashes to not get caught by Kind Mickeys Hugs of Dominance and even the playing field with Radahns light slashes. After that it’s just the two big boi Deities left to duke it out with their big swords and they have a Rocky-Apollo Creed style double K-O in the end and Radahn gets hit so hard that he realizes he’s being duped by Mickey. In the interest of not wasting his chance at a second life, he and the Fierce Deity go out for some Seigbrau to enjoy life at the top.

[@Banjolarry-vz9fg]

I think that this argument is a misrepresentation of ER characters lore strength. The issue I believe comes from the fact that you compared Link at his cannon strength to ER characters directly from the game- if you were to compare both of their lore strengths, believe link would hold a significant disadvantage. This is because: Maliketh owns the concept of death, which he could just use to kill link without him even having a chance to fight back. Placidusax transcends time and could just fly away and blow up link with lightning. Fortisax has death root, which, because link has no canonical death root resistance, would immediately kill him upon contact with the body, without him having a chance to fight back. Malenia has scarlet rot and waterfowl, the former of which link would not be able to survive (you mentioned something about him using a cookbook, but he wouldn’t know where to find that or any other boluses so the rot would kill him before he could cure it) and the latter of which link could not dodge as it is a massive AoE and would heal Malenia back to full health due to her healing ability. She also has the explosion of her rot flower at the beginning of phase 2, which link would not know to run out of the way of, and even if link did survive and go onto win the rot would kill him anyways. I have heard some people mention that link could parry a concrete pillar which weighs around 80,000 or so tons. However, this pales in comparison to some of the feats of strength Radahn exhibits, as Radahn can hold back the stars while still fighting and under the influence of scarlet rot, with several massive spears stuck in his back. I will remind you: a small to medium sized star weighs around 1.98*10^30 kilograms. I also heard something about link being able to kill Majora. Majora was able to make a small star and a tiny little planet, and link could defeat him, which was a proof of links strength. However, Radahn defeated the owner (and thus creator) of much larger and more impressive stars and solar systems. Not just one, but multiple. This would be putting him on a plane above link when it comes to sheer battling skill and strength. Mohg could defeat link as he has the ability of nihil, which steals a huge chunk of the opponents health and gives it to himself. This could not be stopped by any defensive measures, as it penetrates all shielding aside from one crystal tear, which link wouldn’t know how to get, or how to use (or even know existed before entering the fight). The nihil would just kill him before he would have time to react. Radagon of the golden order could defeat link, as he is a literal god and has immense holy resistance, which is the kind of damage links arsenal is geared towards outputting. This could heal him instead of damaging him, even, and he flys around with a massive club dealing physical damage, so link could get the same resistance benefits back. Godfrey would win, as he has the move where he stomps the ground, which causes all enemies to fly up into the air and land on their backs. This would give him an easy opportunity to split link open with his axe, as he is lying there defenseless. Rykard, Lord of Blasphemy would win against link as he is 81’ tall and possess the power to help himself on hit. His sword can kill gods, lore wise, so he would have no trouble killing a 17 year old. Also: link doesn’t get the serpent hunter, so to damage rykard he would have to walk into his lava and hit him, which would melt links legs off and kill him. The fire giant would win because of his connection with the outer gods. He holds the ability to burn down the erdtree, which nothing else can do, and thus could melt link into a puddle using his massive fire AoEs, and outlast link with his massive pool of health and his huge stature (he stands at 115 feet). The Elden beast canonically has the ability to harness the power of celestial bodies, such as the sun. Using this power, he could beam link into oblivion with ease. You mentioned something about him have the power to destroy a small island, but I believe that the sun easily produces much more energy and could destroy entire planets if all of it is utilized at once, which is what the Elden beast canonically can do. The Elden beast can also teleport, so he couldn’t run. Also: you mentioned something about him moving at a ridiculous speed during the video, but we know this can’t be true: he couldn’t be moving faster than the speed of sound because we don’t see a sonic boom. In addition to all of this, link has quite weak defenses. I mean, look at the fellow: he’s wearing sweatpants and a light tunic, nothing that could stop a meteor, the sun, death personified, or a sword: he doesn’t even have any armor on. Link is also 5’ 2” canonically, which would make him get dwarfed in terms of raw size compared to Radahn (25 feet) the Elden beast (around 85 to 100 or so feet, depending on how much of his body is viable) or even Malenia (who is estimated to be around 7-8 feet). I also hear some people talking about him being able to parry: he doesn’t have a riposte, so that wouldn’t do shit for him. I also hear people speaking about flurry rushes: most bosses attack in a series of attacks, so if he hasn’t already been beamed down by the sun or a meteor, or been killed by death itself, while he is closing the gap to attack a second time he will be promptly ment by another quick swing which would easily split his body into 2. So in conclusion, I think that this argument failed as it puts lore accurate link against non-lore accurate Elden ring bosses. If you really explore the lore of Elden ring, the bosses in ER simply operate on a much grander scale which link could not keep up with. His small stature, lack of relative strength and low defense all contribute to this. Also I wrote this by myself on an iPhone pretty pwease like my fingers are bleeding (I’m the real loser here cause at least link has hoes)

[@THEO00900]

A big logical mistake made here was that Link will be empowered by holy attacks, meanwhile the demigods who are resistant to holy damage supposedly take full damage from master sword. Either same physics apply to both cases or neither.

[@KopperNeoman]

This. The Master Sword is the Blade of Evil's Bane. It's not like a Paladin's weapon from Quest for Glory, which can be Holy type, Fire type, or just a regular weapon depending on whatever will hurt the target more. (If a Paladin is around to will it to enflame, of course.) In that series, Paladin swords can bring down the Earth Elemental, who is immune to anything that isn't fire (explosions are just very fast fires), but can also harm the fire-immune Dragon of Doom.

[@donjandel]

The problem here is what "holly" is defined for each character, holly in elden ring comes from the greater will yet in zelda comes from their deities there. They're not exactly the same type of holiness

[@THEO00900]

@@donjandel this worsens the position of Link in this case, as his holy "arsenal" may not even work at all, as in the land between no Legend of Zelda god has any authority at all, even if the world is littered with gods that want to influence it. But just for the benefit of the argument let's say they work the same.

[@Xahnel]

​​@@THEO00900 Authority? We aren't talking about kings here. Gods are gods. They don't lose their power just because they're intruding on someone else's domain. Besides, the only deific being in Eldin Ring is the Greater Will, and it doesn't seem that powerful, since it operates through agents weilding blessings, boons, and tools. Further, the blade of Evil's Bane has repeatedly used against holy figures that were tainted, corrupted, or just outright turned evil. In the cases where a good or innocent being was corrupted the blade was able to expel the evil and return them to their previous state. If there is one thing you can say with certainty about the demigods of Elden Ring, they are corrupted, tainted, and/or evil. The reason they resist "holy" statted weapons and spells is because in Elden Ring, the Golden Light of Order is considered holy, it's what holy things draw upon for power. Hylia's holy blessings are not sourced from the Elden Ring or Erdtree's golden light. They come from her and her specific domains of Light, Sealing, and Time. If Link started going on a tear through the Lands Between, the Sword that Seals the Darkness would strike the darkness and corruption from the bodies, hearts, and minds of many of the bosses, and they would very likely _survive_ and pledge themselves to his cause. Radahn and Melania come immediately to mind as beings who would be purged of dark taint and healed by Hylia's mercy.

[@MorganSaph]

The mistake made is that, while the Master Sword is a sacred weapon, it doesn't actually contain holy power. It was made from the same powers that formed the triforce, so it's a whole ass level above the Divine and directly attacks whatever is evil, dark or demonic. The Demigods and Miquella are all absolutely evil, so the Master Sword would be doing full power to all of them, regardless of their resistance. If anything, they wouldn't even have resistance or holy power themselves, simply because the Master Sword absorbs holy, sacred and light powers to further strengthen itself.

The Hero of Legend literally beat a Ganon with the full triforce. He is far in a way the strongest.

[@CRISIS_COMICS]

It was in another room. Not amping him. ALttP Ganon couldn’t overpower the seal of the Maiden’s, who are verbatim weaker than the OoT Sages. He’s also stated = to Zelda 1 Ganon who has 0 Triforce pieces, proving that he wasn’t actually amped in ALttP. Glazing ALttP is based on myth.

[@Auvisome]

@@CRISIS_COMICS "it was in another room" 😐 literally why bother having it at all? His boar form is quite literally a manifestation of his success being realised lol. We know the triforce amps its beholder. Even if it’s not a detail considered at the time of making LTTP, it’s something we consider in hindsight given the direction of the series. brother... LTTP Ganon is literally OOT Ganon after he won. Possessing the full triforce alone is proof of that. He was then sealed into the sacred realm by the sages, to which he corrupted into the dark world. Worst case, we can assume he wished himself stronger, which already upscales himself. He is categorically stronger beyond any reasonable doubt. Tell me, how in any reasonable case would he get WEAKER after beating the Hero of Time and then receiving the strongest artefact in the verse, presumably granting his wish? Ganondorf in OOT was sealed still possessing the triforce of power (as later shown in TP). It goes to show that the triforce isn’t omnipotent. However possessing all 3 is evidently is superior. Also the Ganon in Zelda 1 is not the same as the one in LTTP, and most definitely not as strong. Put 2 and 2 together buddy. He was resurrected as a weaker mindless monster in the oracle games. The natural pipeline suggests that they are incomparable characters given that entry in between both titles. Denying LTTP is borderline foolishness and arrogance. There is no argument here. Hero of Legend defeating a STRONGER Ganon to the Ganondorf the Hero of Time fought, is proof he is the strongest. TOTK Link is stronger than OOT Link as well.

[@CRISIS_COMICS]

@@Auvisome He acquires the Triforce pieces, then they become the physical True Force outside of his body as seen in Wind Waker. You’re making a baseless assumption, in fact in ALttP it’s blatantly stated that Ganon feels that he needs to build his power in the Dark World before even attempting to invade Hyrule. If he’d wished on an omnipotent power source to become more powerful then he wouldn’t need to, and the Hero of Legend only beat this too-weak-to-invade-Hyrule Ganon; while getting rocked mind you and canonically abusing health potions. Remember that OoT Ganon with a single Triforce piece was beyond anything the Sages could do, who are stronger than the Maidens that ALttP Ganon feared. Hyrule Historia states flat-out that the Triforce became weaker after OoT, you can’t refute that. And the Link’s Awakening Player’s Guide states that Ganon of Zelda 1 was restored to his old power, which can only mean ALttP at that point. Ganon wanted to use the Trueforce to make a wish in the Light World, it wasn’t amping him as it wasn’t in his actual body anymore once all of the pieces are completed. And the Triforce itself lost power as the blood of Hylia was diluted. TotK Link is a jobber. No Triforce, and probably isn’t even canon to the rest of the timelines. You’ve done a cursory glance of the series without actually consuming and connecting the official material to get a holistic view.

[@nathanpfirman625]

@@Auvisome He can't utilizie them unless he's directly touching them or has them as port of his body. If he had all 3 he could wish for pretty much unlimited power or just for the Hero to be annihilated from time and space.

[@selkiara1272]

Wouldn't it be funny if at the end of all this, Link only went to the Lands Between on a misunderstanding, thinking a description of Radahn sounded a LOT like Ganon. "Giant red headed warrior with massive blades and the power to control an ancient magic? Guess it has been about enough time, huh?"

[@dndhydrate]

I was following the logic of parts of the video that explains what's possible in the world of ER but the Zelda stuff seems to reach way too hard into the meta-cosmic stuff while almost completely disregarding Link's actual abilities. As far as I understand, simply having a piece of the Triforce doesn't channel a goddess's power like they are an avatar or vessel. They seem presented more like separate ideals held by mortals that can change the fate of the world if all three pieces were to unite.

[@CRISIS_COMICS]

It’s stated many times in the series to grant you strength of the goddesses while literally being pieces of their power. IE the scans used in the video.

[@kestradavis5372]

@@CRISIS_COMICS Given the fact that the Triforce is also responsible for maintaining the form of the world, as ALBW shows when Lorule's Triforce is destroyed, I'd say that at the very least the Triforce would grant a similar level of power as the Elden Ring, another artifact that maintains the order of its universe.

[@antoineguerrier2965]

@@kestradavis5372 I'd say the full Triforce is equivalent to the Elden Ring. Link only has a piece of it, but given he's the reincarnation of the hero, is implied to be blessed by the goddess Hylia and has the Master Sword, that should put him on par with the Elden Beast / Radagon / Marika / enslaved Radahn and the evil twink. And Ganondorf being in that ball park seems right. Bear in mind that gods in ER aren't all powerful beings but neither are they in Zelda. Hylia got defeated by Demise after all. A god's capacity for creation doesn't say anything about martial prowess.

[@coreywest9597]

​@@antoineguerrier2965 I agree completely with everything except I'd like to point out that by Zelda standards Hylia is a lesser goddess whose power is drastically dwarfed by the golden goddesses. She was essentially just the babysitter for mankind put in place by the golden goddesses and was weak enough that she (almost but essentially) got beaten by demons, which are *far* weaker than most gods by Zelda standards. It's really not fair to compare all of the other gods to Hylia, since, to use Greek mythology as an example, it's like comparing Heracles or Medusa to Nix or Chronos.

[@JacobKc-m2b]

In my opinion, Hero of the Wild (BOTW-TOTK) Link is the most powerful. We’re assuming here that he has both the sages and the champions’ abilities, along with Rauru’s Arm and a Shiekah Slate. He can fuse Silver Lynel horns to a 5 shot bow and shoot it to the head, and you’re done. He also has Mipha’s Grace, which can give him a second chance if he gets caught lacking. He also has 5 more people fighting with him. He also killed 2 Ganons and all their minions, defeated countless Lynels with a just the Master sword (its shown in a BOTW memory), can slow down time (flurry rush, bullet time) can survive any attack if he has full health, can regain all that health back just by doing an instant mukbang, and can instantly make any weapon many times better by fusing something to it. He’s op.

[@quicksavepoint]

Just putting this out there, people underestimate how powerful the Fierce Deity actually is On top of that, we dont know if he ever got rid of the mask either. AND The Shade is confirmed to be OOT, on top of that, it means he WILLED himself to exist despite the fact that two with the heros spirit should not exist at once. his golden wolf form likely hinting that he used the triforce to make it work. He personally taught twilight the skills to end Ganondorf for good. He only couldnt do it himself because the imprisoning war would have been happening while he was a child, and thats when he went to termina. This link also fought PRIME ganondorf, not just an older one like other links (twilight/wind). I would say Twilight is probably the second strongest though. On the video note tho I disagree that Link would get overwhelmed. He even has Nayrus love to protect him which can keep him safe from lava in OOT, meaning even the rot wouldnt break that and it would give him easy defense on the light based attacks that come at him, again as long as he has magic. Not to mention MMs bunny hood (which we are still assuming he has as stated in the beginning of the video) doubles his speed so his dodging ability is pretty high on top of him having his shield bash (shown from the shade) so this means he even has a parry. His defense is pretty heavy Edit to also add Hero of legend is a CLOSE 3rd, he only barely loses to Twilight to me due to Ganondorf being SO ridiculously strong. Then Sky then Wild so 1: Time 2:twilight 3:legend (two and 3 can be swapped based on which scale we are talking) 4:sky 5:wild Also yeah legend has fought beast ganon with the full triforce, but weve seen beast ganon without ganondorf, meaning we don't even know if he's the same being or just a new beast ganon (no dorf). I'm sorry but Ganondorf is just too strong on a scale with JUST his TF of Power added in with his fighting skill as a gerudo warrior. which is also why Twilight is scaled so high here. HOWEVER I still say there are feats where Legend outscales twilight, but still not OoT link, again that Fierce deity and having the skills to permanently end ganondorf (teaching twilight to use them) makes him like RIDICOULOUSLY STRONG. I could also argue that Wild COULD outscale Sky in some ways, but skys feats are pretty impressive. And dont get me started on the most traumatized link good god

[@rudysarmiento8700]
