So what are you basing their individual stengths on then?

Are you comparing purely their raw strength, or incorporating their collected items/magics/powerups?

One could also argue that attaining the required items/magics/powerups to defeat evil is directly tied to Link's strength (or courage), so not having what is required would still be Link's fault, and weakness.

This also assumes that failing to defeat Ganondorf in OoT was indeed a result of missing the required means to do so, whereas it could also simply be the lack of skill/strength/courage to do so.

That's great and all, but think of it like this. Pretend you were the greatest Zelda player ever, but you got a copy of the game with no silver arrow. Does the fact that the silver arrow does not exist in this version of events affect your caliber as a player?

But what about all the other items/magics/powerups? By your logic, you should be comparing each Link's base strength/skill/courage.
