link would destroy Kratos with both hands tied behind his back.

Not really if Link was to use a spell it would most likely be Bombos, cause just like a bomb arrow Kratos wouldn't have a body left... it would be a million tiny pieces, thunderbolts wouldn't destroy the body, while explosives will. Also what would Kratos really have to shield himself from a bomb arrow if he hits it with his sword it explodes and takes an arm with it.

And honestly Link fights with brains and using the tools he has he could take down Kratos no problem, he wouldn't even get past the Ether spell.

Kratos...

Legend of Zelda games sell more, so Link. ;)

Link would never be able to defeat Kratos, but he'd never die himself. 20 hearts + Nayru's Love = unstoppable power. :P

Kratos would win. Everyone talks as if Kratos is some sort of steroid freak with a temper with no intelligence what so ever. Couple of things that need to be pointed out:

1) He has powers of the gods. Forget bombs and bows and arrows. He can make it rain fire and lightning. Who cares how many weapons link has when you can shove a thunder bolt from outer space up someone's backside.

2) He has literally survived Hell. Link hasn't even come close to it. The other world Link he goes into maybe bad, but Hell is not called Hell for nothing.

3) He has defeated gods. Link may have battled some big bosses or monsters, but none of them have been gods.

4) He is the God of War. Not only did he out smart the previous God of War, but now also out smarted Zeus and has now collated his own Army of Titans. In-between God of War 1 and 2 he has also strategically conquered cities and villages building his own army and commanding them. That takes intelligence, so anyone saying he is nothing but more then bad tempered is clearly wrong.

5) Healing Fairy's don't do any good against Immortality. Only a god can kill a god and Link is no god as great as he is.

6) The Mastersword maybe great but not as great as the Blades of Athena (made by the gods) and Zeus Sword (mAde by some gods).

Now Dante would give a better fight. The son of the greatest Devil against the son of one of the greatest Gods. That makes more of a debate and less of fanboy favoritism.

wow, really don't know what to say to this... so selling more games makes you a unbeatable :S I see your logic :s

Heh it's the fact that Link has spells, weapons, powers that come from all sources including the gods of Hyrule. Honestly to think Kratos could win is only because you're wowed by the blood and gore of the GoW games, Link has the far superior list of powers and tactics.

Fierce Deity Link! Sorry but that Link is just rigged.

Kratos can kill a God... Nuff said.
