[@MarioMastar]

Yeah if anything Spirit Tracks Link being a train conductor is worth a LOT of points. For one becoming a conductor takes specialized education akin to getting a college degree, so he's far more educated than the farmer or knight most other Links are as a stable job (or blacksmith in some cases, which is a respectable skill but I think only Link to the Past Link becomes a blacksmith after his uncle dies, Minish Cap Link likely becomes a royal knight or educated by Ezlo to become a scholar though so it's possible). Hehe people undervalue a good education, but it's definitely worth noting he's doing a lot more than most of us at his age. Keep in mind too, Spirit Tracks link is like 13 years old and already has a full time job.

In my opinion, Spirit Tracks Link doesn't even care about being a swordfighter.

[@1mariomaniac]

The Hero of The Winds is quite possibly one of the most badass Links lol. Not only did he sail the entire Great sea finding all of the fragments of the Triforce of courage off of the bottom of the sea to _choose himself_ as the new hero, but after that he also faced off against Ganondorf, a Gerudo man over quadruple his size.

Link from the 1st 2 games does.have a gimmick. 3 actually. 1: Becomes immortal. 2: has the most magical spells 3: The sword beam comes from him, not his sword. Most links need a magic sword, he uses any sword, even sticks. You also had the Minnish Link.

@@zachtwilightwindwaker596 It's a temporary state. The only other Link to do it, did it in someone else's dream.

[@galdoug8918]

@@LegendStormcrow im not saying its only a gimmick if its completely new. A gimmick is an advertising concept not a gameplay concept. It is something they stick into a game TO make it stand out, not something that is just different. The majoras mask thing was a gimmick, because it was used in advertising. (Although the gimmick for that was more the moon really) Because this is the first 2 games in the series, they weren't at a point yet to really need a gimmick for link other than "the game is an open world" which was a new concept at the time, so it would interest consumers.

[@conspiracypanda1200]

I love Spirit Tracks Link, but it's almost 100% canon that the kid can't swim. Which, yeah, a lot of Links can't swim, but this one lives on a freaking BEACH. C'mon, man... Your predecessor basically owned the waves, how are you sinking faster than a rock? AND he gets his butt handed to him in training if he decides to be a castle knight, even after defeating all the dungeons and a freaking demon! (His train outfit is awesome tho I love his lil hat and buttons).

I mean, about the training, he got distracted by Zelda calling out to him. So I wouldn’t really say it’s on him

[@mikeanthony3300]

To be fair, the Hero of Winds from Wind Waker is the same hero we see in Phantom Hourglass, a game where you also sink like a rock in water. So really ST Link is just following his ancestors footsteps. Maybe he did know how to swim and like the Hero of Winds, he just forgot how to at some point.

Maladus like Ganon is a king of demons so comparable in strength.

[@LuckyNumber39]

Just like this red bokoblin and this gold bokoblin. I'd say Malladus is the weakest out of the major antagonists bar Onox and Veran due to: - not having any major feats (example: Majora calling down the moon) - not having some source of incredible power (example: Vaati stealing the Light Force) - not requiring a weapon specifically designed to kill him (example: Bellum needing the Phantom Sword) If *Bellum* can be considered stronger than him, there are not many more that aren't

[@LoinkLoink]

@@LuckyNumber39 The Lokomo Sword is literally right there. Malladus did have a source of incredible power when he took possession of ST Zelda's body, which specifically said to have been blessed by the spirits of good. Also, Malladus was effectively a spirit for most of the game, hence why he didn't really have any opportunity to show feats. Even when he was revived in the form of Zelda, he still didn't have any opportunity as he had to adjust to having a physical form. For all we know, he could be as powerful as Demise and Ganon(and considering his title as Demon King, I find that likely), but we never got to see any major feats since he was taken out before he could have fully adjusted to Zelda's body.

[@LuckyNumber39]

@@LoinkLoink yes, the Lokomo Sword exists. And we can all agree out of the main sacred swords, this is the weakest one, being the equivalent of three tears of light; and it certainly wasn't made specifically to kill Malladus like the Phantom Sword was for Bellum. Yes, he had Zelda's body. For about 90% of his time unsealed. But he lost it, then lost his life to this Link and his bargain bin Master Sword (I say this as someone whose favorite game is Spirit Tracks). And sure, we don't have any concrete feats for him. But losing to just a boy with a sword with the power to stun his kind of evil is quite the anti-feat. And are you really going to tell me any kind of Ganondorf, even the one from ALttP, is as strong as time-conquering Demise?

[@LoinkLoink]

@@LuckyNumber39 I am not saying he _is_ as powerful as the two. I am saying that he very well _could be._ We never got to see Malladus use his full power, and Malladus claimed that he could end the world in his imperfect Cole-form. If Link and Zelda weren't there to stop him, he very well might have done just that. Nintendo doesn't give out the Demon King title to just any zelda villain. Malladus is supposed to be on equal footing with Ganon and Demise. He's likely the New Hyrule equivalent of the two. As for the Lokomo Sword, I also view it as the New Hyrule equivalent of the Master Sword. It lines up with a personal theory of mine about the Spirits of Good being the Goddess Hylia. It was made and wielded by the spirits specifically to defeat Malladus, and we don't get to see the full extent of what it can do-just like how we didn't get to see the full power of the Master Sword in A Link to the Past. If future zelda games bring the Lokomo Sword back, then we can start powerscaling it. As for him and Zelda's body-it was specifically mentioned by Anjean that it would take time for Malladus to adjust to Zelda's body. Time that allowed Link and Zelda to get to the point where they could stop him. If they were any later in confronting Malladus, he could have adjusted fully to the body and used her power without restraint. We didn't get to see what that would have looked like.

[@galaxyknight9631]

⁠@@LoinkLoink well lets start with this demise scales above ganon/ganondorf. He was easily capable of taking over hyrule and the skies despite hylia having the triforce and goddess sword she couldnt even kill him. Now thats absolutely wild considering not only the massive piwer boost you get from it but also the fact that you can make wishes on it. Even after death his power carried on in the reincarnation cycle. Malladus on the other hand was only theoretically capable of destroying new hyrule and didnt have any major feats or power boosts. What he got from zelda was no where near the level of the triforce or weaons like ghirahim and ganons trident. The lokomo sword was also just inferior to the master sword. The master sword was specifically made to be the bane of evil and has warding and sealing powers on top of spells like sword beams and medallions like the bomvos. The master sword just for reference was crafted and blessed by the goddess as well as the secret flames and sages which are all greater than that of the lokomo sword.

You’re saying this like he couldn’t just ram a train into most of the links and get away with it.

[@a-buttonace]

Imagine trying to rule a magical kingdom and some toddler with a train pulls up

[@WasatchWind]

I don't know why everyone acts as though he is younger than other Links. We don't even know his canonical age in this game. Considering he's literally finishing education to become an engineer, it's honestly more likely that he's on the older side.

[@rorimeclipse8228]

I ask the most important question: Which of the Links can dance? If he can't boogie, bro's gotta get a noogie

[@goldentalon557]

Aw comeon man dont pick on the train guy

[@alexread6767]

I have a lot of nostalgia for Spirit Tracks. The final battle is one of my favorite moments, especially Zelda running to Link's side for the last attack

[@Thor-the-BlueBoy]

Thank you for not doubting my man. 🙏🏻

[@sebastiangudino9377]

I mean, you might say might be small, but little dude went all the way up that huge ahh tower by foot, guy gets his cardio

In his timeline, someone without the Hero's Spirit killed Ganon. He had to fight something! Imagine being the great Hyrulian Hero of Legend, but your destined villian was already dead! Explanation: The protagonist of Wind Waker didn't meet the requirements for the Hero's Spirit. Among others, he isn't Hyrulian. He is a normal person that happens to look like and be named Link. Which is why Ganon can't come back in that timeline. He wasn't killed by THE Link, the one that posessed the Hero's Spirit. The cycle broke, and Ganon cannot resurrect. Haven't played Spirit Tracks outside a Target demo. But I assume a power vacuum was left. With Link, the Hero of Hyrule, having no Ganon to fight. Eventually the timelines will converge, and the Hero of Wind's miracle will be nullified. But for a time, in one time, Hyrule was freed from Ganon. Theory is, in the final game in the timeline, Zelda will kill Ganon, breaking the cycle. Concluding the Legend of Zelda.

He's cute and that's all that matters. The other links would be like little victorian boys in front of his train and they'd get run over

[@77DC77]

Hey don't disrespect my train boy! When you need to get places, he's gotchu 😎

[@Dw7freak]

Who needs strength when you can become the trolley question.

[@Wingspand1]

That ghost GF can also posses some pretty tough suits of armor.

[@Jmankiller325]

Dude in Hyrule warriors he’s able to SUMMON the spirit train to run over people. With full access to all of its artillery.

[@vaati9364]

You my friend have just earned a sub

[@m.gebrael]

A chain is only as strong as its weakest link

[@Ambipie]

Ah yes the link that got into trains after Zelda got ran over by a bus

[@m4sherman375]

Spirit track link has the Future of Warfare blasting while he fires the train cannons

[@Sirfinchyyy]

The giant badger showing up for the dead goat reminds me af a YT short, it was just someone recording a honey badger carrying the severed head of a goat... not relevant to the adventure im sure, but thx for forcing that repressed memory back to the surface of my thoughts😱.

[@EBEvitt]

Spirit Tracks was actually my first ever Zelda game when it came out. It was a rocky introduction to say the least.

[@WasatchWind]

Skill issue The DS games were my introduction to Zelda and I loved them

[@BobRenkes-ms6mb]

Argument in his favor: he managed to defeat a threat comparable to ganondorf with nothing but wooden swords and a bow and arrow

[@Niccolò765]

You should make a short about the 1000 year time skip in Kirby

[@Angushrothgar]

"One big baddie under his belt" damn, banging Zelda isn't enough?!

[@rockowlgamer631]

Considering he beat the evil back with a train, I'd say he did a good job.

[@TherapscallionYT]

Here's the thing... Spirit Tracks link is still pretty tough. Half of his arsenal serve as both utility AND weapons, plus he's got access to Light Arrows he doesn't even need magic for.

[@jellybelly8672]

Someone forgot about Phantom hourglass, where you can literally STOP THE FLOW OF TIME ITSELF.

[@SonMohammedAl-Goku]

He’s gonna run over you with his train for that

[@EvelynCondelli]

It caught me so off guard when u showed the korok being crucified

[@shockwave3864]

See he may be the weakest, but he is also the smartest, coolest, and he owns a train

[@faloughasch9239]

Don't you DARE diss the pan flute and stamp books. Literally the best parts of the entire game

[@stolkeyna]

Enemy: *exists* Link: here comes the choo-choo train!!

[@le9038]

Least powerful link? He has a girlfriend, do you?
