Kratos has killed 3 Gods, the Fates and returned from the Underworld 3 times. Also, anybody who thinks that Kratos is retarded and poorly equiped should actually try playing a God of War game. Kratos would win, likely without much of a challenge. Seriously, how much damage could Link do when Kratos has endured everything from Zeus' lightning to striking attacks that would cut a normal man in half? How many times could Link survive attacks like the Army of Hades, Cronos' Rage or Zeus' Gauntlet? What about the Rage of the Gods/Titans? Don't bother with posting a point-by-point argument because they assume that Link would fight flawlessly while Kratos would make mistakes which is a silly assumption.
