I thought the only way down was along the chain. Every other time Kratos got there he died, didn't he? Maybe I forgot. Either way link would die and Kratos can swim just fine the the river because he has Hades soul. :)

Kratos shoulda tried collecting the souls of all of the gods, they would have probably gave him more abilities/strength. 

Solid argument, but it requires Kratos to abandon the fight to pursue other goals, which defeats the entire question of Who Would Beat Up Who (TM). In this context, Link beats up Kratos, which is all that I'm talking about.

The Wings of Icarus don't allow him to fly unless there's an updraft, and this is true even in cutscenes, and canonically Kratos can only use Hermes's boosts for bursts of speedo ver short distances, because he can't control them very well. There's o instance, cutscene or otherwise, where he uses them in other ways.

Link would be inside Kratos's corpse, not his soul - Kratos is only dragged physically down into the Underworld when he's a god. Otherwise he just wakes up there.

Didn't he fall from Gaia to the underworld?

Commonman - thats cause khuutra decided to pull the double standard card a long time ago. He is trying to argue balance and pace of the game ditacted by the developers. This argument is useless and baseless... Khuutra really has no argument here.

Has that been proven?

Which may be true, but your tone and the dismissive nature of your posts make your arguments seem like simple attacks. If you are going to continue to argue, it would be a better "victory" if you accepted the rules he's put in place and stated several times and beat him that way.

The rules are contradictory and biased in favor of link. There is no use in arguing with him. I mean... unless we all believe that kratos drops dead the second he steps in to a restricted zone..

That bright light doesn't do to Link what it does to Sirens? Yeah.

You take away Ganon's invisibility by lighting a bunch of torches and flooding the place with bright light. This doesn't affect the Magic Cape.

As always, Khuutra, your debating skills are top notch.

This reminds me of the great debate of the Marvel Universe vs the DC Comics Universe.
Mythos from the real world... changed and adapted for mythos in the video game world...

I myself would have to go with which world the fight would take place.

If it was in the God of War Universe with the laws of physics and magic from that world, then Kratos would win.

If fought in Hyrule, Kratos doesn't stand a chance.

However, if on a neutral world, we need goalposts and the new laws of physics and magic to have a nice solid debate.

Let me get this straight.

You're saying that taking things as being canon, i.e. only operating within what exists within the narrative of the games, makes this match biased in favor of Link?
