This thread really went 7 pages long??

Simple answer as to who wins. ME. I exist in the real world, and I can unplug my console and then neither character exists. ;)

You forget, you're not the only person who plays God of War and Zelda. Theoretically, in order to really beat those characters, you'd have to turn off every console on which a Zelda or God of War game is being played. Now I'm not sure how constantly God of War is being played, but I'd put fairly even odds on the idea that someone, somewhere is playing a Zelda game every minute of the day, esspecially considering how many of those games there are. It's possible that's not the case though, but even then, it would be whoever turned off their console last that would really count as "beating" those characters.

 

So you're saying I need a moveable planet that I can block the sun out with, and an EMP that will affect the world. Hmm. I might be able to make such a device , a "death star", if you will.

=D

If you combining all games with all power ups and Items Link wins by like 10000 tousand miles. He would not only have 10 ways to be invincilbe but would also have badass magic swords ranged weapons allies and not to mention the god of Hyrule always backs Link in the end. Kratos is a lone gunner, Link is not and never has been.

 

If you combining one GoW to one LoZ then link still wins, Arrows hurt Kratos in game just like deku nuts hurt link. Link has a horse and the Light arrows or Ice arrows or Fire arrows a sword that can shoot frigging lazer beams. Kratos also has Magic, Link has ways to relflect said magic Via Mirror shield. Kratos has limited life and potions so does link but in GoW 1 & 2 you can't carrier much, link has a magic pouch to store infinte amounts of anything this is and always has been a part of links armory.

 

The big thing everyone seems to be forgetting if you put both of them on a filed with nothing around them to give either home turf advantage link would still win as his arrows have no range limit and he can see forever via no horizon and 3rd person view.

Kratos in no of the GoW game I have yet to play can on his own view the world in anything but a Isometric type style, which means to hit or see link it would have to be on his screen which is thousands of times more compressed then links. View in front of you in a 1-1 fight > Viewing an area aroudn you.

 

I hate to go into such detail, but Kratos isnt a do all kill all do anything he wants charecter hes an emotional get revenge bound to rules type charecter to give him dynamics.

Link Samus FF charecters are do all, be all, end all, most powerful beings to ever enter video games they can power them selfs up way beyound need in any other there games. Kratos just scrapes by in hard modes for 99% of players and Link Samus and FF charecter totaly demolish anything in there paths at max power in there games.

Kratos is designed to be weak and emotional, Link has very little emotion and is not bound by laws. This is why I can beat temples in totaly wrong orders or in Metroid I can fit 250 missles in my arms, or in Final Fantasy I can remove all charecters but 1 from my party and still mop the floor with any boss in any of the games.

Lets face it though guys Mario with a Star > Any gory killer you can think of, because in the end nothing beats the star.

For the love of........gameplay=/= storyline.  I know it's annoying to hear it for the millionth time, but you're still thinking in fantasy land where everything goes a certain way according to the way you want it to go (which is the main reason to avoid gameplay details in a fight between two characters of different universes) .  You mention a bunch of BS like the God of Hyrule backs up Link and he can see far into the horizon in first person view LOL.  Kratos isn't a part of Zelda and vice versa, you can't prove he would be hurt by arrows, you can't prove that Link can carry as much as he can in the Loz games because he wouldn't even be fighting against Kratos in the Zelda universe with the same mechanics. 

 

It's logic like this that gives me a brain seizure, so please stop it!  >_>

Maybe you were doing it to make the argument interesting or something...........but this thread is.........just way off...............*brain seizure*  breakfast.   

 



This will only take a moment of your time. *steals your watch*

I've got news for you all: Kratos isn't real.



DAMNIT!!
NO POWERS!!

Just give link his sword and shield, and kratos his blades of chaos.

I say Kratos.


If we compare them with thier powers this thread will never end.

Let's take away all of Batman's tools and gadgets, then pit him against Superman and see who wins.

1) I think what you mean is gameplay=/= base abilities.

2) yeah, but that doesn't stop arguments of Batman vs Superman, etc. That's all this basically is, and if we're going to be totally logical and balanced, we'd realize that neither character exists, so it's a moot point, but then there wouldn't be any argument and that's no fun

3) yeah, I groaned at this part too, using the game perspectives to give an advantage was a bit too much even for me.

4) Obviously we can't PROVE anything since we already recognize that neither character is real and exist in different worlds with different rules, but there are still common mechanics and objects that we can draw parallels in an attempt to mesh the worlds of these 2 characters together to make this fight possible. Obviously we can't prove their abilities, but part of the fun of the argument is attempting to hash out what the details would be. Does Kratos get access to his God Powers, will they affect Link the same way minor characters are affected in Kratos world, or will it do teh type of damage that Link usually receives from similar attacks in his world, etc... Just as you say you can't prove Link's ability to carry that many items due to game mechanics, I could point out that might just be one of the abilities he has access to as hero of courage, etc.

It's a mental excersize. The fact that you're getting brain cramps from it probably means you're out of shape :P

This is a solid point, Link's vast armament resources basically ARE his powers.

^actually i found them in the real world, see above post



 

@WordsOfWisdom
the comparison you made is spot on. The moment i read the title of the thread i was reminded of the countless arguments ive had with my Supes loving buddies.
Going by the level of puzzles in the two games, Link definitely has the intellectual advantage.I'll bet that'd count for something if both are devoid of their inventories
