a child/teenager in green who allways just happens to get a shield and sword then save the world vs 300 pounds muscular steroid freak god-slayer who just won't stay dead and rips out limbs like they're made of paper?

Who knows who would win in a fight

I choose the green teenager!

He'll use his camoflauge and hide in grass then when the freak passes bye him....the freak's throat gets sliced :D

There is a popularity metric requirement?   How does Cole get to play in these battles but not Samus or Kirby?

And of course, Kratos would kill them all.  He's a demigod destined to kill everything he comes across.

The entire concpet of comparing characters on their brute power is ridiculous by itself.   Not every video game character must have the strength of Hercules or the powers of Zeus.  Fictional constructs are bounded only by the rules set forth by their creators.  Comparing character in a one on one fight is irrelevant.  What prevents Aonuma from designing Link in the next game to be capable of eating planets and shitting comets?  Nothing.

Thats the point, the characters are as strong as the creator makes them to be. Which is why kratos would beat link in a fight, and is why Goku would kill everyone. And Cole is still more popular then all those characters going by sales.

Wait, how is Cole more popular going by sales? Metroid, Kirby and Fire Emblem have been around much longer and have sold much more units. Unless I misunderstood something here


This generation infamous has sold more than those games individually. Either way if someone made a thread about kirby vs kratos....well lets just say it would be funny lol.

Aren't we looking at the characters though and not their individual games?

@ all those people claiming, in their ludicrous way, that Kratos would kill Link in a fight

 

1)If you're capable of working that out, so is Link.

2) Link will not attack if he will die.

3) Kratos is an idiot, all muscles and no brain. He is also slow compared to Link.

4) Thus Link will not attack Kratos untill he has found the item he needs to beat Kratos. Kratos could chase link all around their respective worlds, but never manage to corner him.

 

5) therefore Link will win.

 

Same logic goes for why Samus will beat any competition.

anybody with the triforce of courage I deem as 'so powerful', whether they are Link or not

I don't want to get sucked into this, and I want to see someone actually respond to this post with a better argument than "Nu-uh, Kratos is better!", so I'll just leave this here.

WRONG, all wrong. Kratos is the leading general in the spartan army. He lives to fight and solves some of the hardest puzzles in all of greece. And his hermes boots make him fast as hell. Have you even played a GOW game? Thats right, he beat the god of speed, hermes. He litterally grabbed him and cut his boots off of his legs. Never seen Link do that.

Link is strong in his own universe, like Mario is strong in his and all he's doing is jumping on things. If you're comparing him to Kratos or something it's stupid because Link isn't supposed to be that type of demigod character that can always crush anyone and anything (outside of his own universe).


THANK YOU! Listen to this guy, he post some good shit.

There is no way to prove that any of these characters are more popular than the other because its acutally pretty close. Fire emblem is unheard of, Metroid Prime is pretty unheard of this gen, maybe kirby because he had his own tv show.

Nobody thinks Link is powerful. Ganon is powerful, Triforce of Power and what not. Link is courageous, and he always seems to beat Ganon.

Please do more research before posting, sir.
