IIRC, The Hero of Winds wasn't chosen exactly. He just found the triforce to basically make them choose him or something... He just wanted to get his sister back...

That's not OoT, though.

It doesnt apply here but i hate fight debates that dont take personality and or character flaws into account. The mention of rules made me think that. Like the reason batman can beat superman is because superman isnt willing to go all out against even villains let alone batman.

That and Superman has established weaknesses that allow him to be defeated pretty easily under certain circumstances. Not everything is because he feels like lives in a world made of cardboard.

Well yeah batman needs his weakness but even with it if superman wanted him dead he could kill him before the krptonite dropped him. Hell ranged attack with heat vision. So bats does rely on supermans reluctance to kill in a straight up fight.

People like to bring up the OP equipment and magic Link has access to as though Cloud can't get to the point in FF7 where he can summon exploding comets and meteors, heal himself instantly with magic, revive himself in firey explosions (final attack phoenix), summon monsters strong enough to murder gods, and buff himself to the point where he can tank hits from physical gods. Seriously, it's possible to get idiotically overpowered in FF7.

And if Link has an inventory full of fairies and blue potions, Cloud has a 99 Elixers and enough HP to survive the sun exploding in his face.

That attack is designed so that it never puts anyone out of commission, though.

For what it's worth. I generally hate these kinds of arguments because it's usually just a big circle jerk of fanboys.
But I guess I'll weigh in anyways.
As a huge fan of zelda since the very beginning. Link could never win this fight.

Cloud has a larger back of tricks to pull from.
He can heal more than 4 times.
His auto-revive works 5 times and damages his opponent.
He can drain Link's magic meter.
He can double his offense and defense through consuming hero drinks.
He can further boost his defense with barrier and mbarrier. It's not "invincible" but it's about 75% reduction.
Then there's the question of...is Link susceptible to status effects? Poison? Slow? Stop? Toad? Mini? What about gravity based damage?

I mean...the odds are stacked against Link.

He really couldn't. You're assuming that Batman would just stand there holding a chunk of Kryptonite. Superman would almost certainly be under its effects before he realized Batman had a piece of it. And if Batman actually wanted to kill Superman, then Superman would be dead right at the start of the fight.

But Link has the power of destiny, Cloud does not.

Plus effects like those comets and meteor are easily survived within the context of FFVII, making them less impressive than their real world equivalents. In the context of a world where people have that level of power, Link certainly would as well. However, Link is a chosen one whereas Cloud is not. Link would win by default.

It's not so much that the battle is merely in Link's favor, it's simply that he would win because he's a chosen one and Cloud is not.

Im operating under the assumption the fight has begun before batman can pull out kryptonite. Yes if batman gets a preemptive strike he holds the advantage.

Death battle covered this and link won. Though i disagree with the results because one of the reasons link won was because they said his shield was unbreakable which I dont think ia official lore, more that theyve just never had shields breaking as a game mechanic till botw.

I think the auto revive fairies is what truly one him thr battle in their minds though since he can carry 4 of them in OoT (which i believe was the version of link they used)
Which would be countered with Final Attack+Revive and then another Final Attack+Phoenix.

If Batman was using a kryptonite-based weapon, it wouldn't just be a piece of kryptonite. And when people say Batman with planning can beat anybody, it means he's prepared for the battle beforehand and rigged the field.

Being the chosen one doesn't grant you any statistical benefits. It just means you have a shitty destiny that you can't fight.

Batman can't beat everybody even with planning.

There is literally a canon Zelda timeline where OoT Link dies in his final battle against Ganon. You are talking out your ass.

I was also operating under the assumption its just his normal gear which usually has 1 kryptonite ring in his utility belt that superman himself gave him.

Like the assumption is its a unplanned fight one attacks the other without forewarning. Basically between them two its a case of who attacks first should win if thr other aint expecting it.

It grants you the statistical benefit of winning 100% of the time.

GT was never canon though. Just some idiots thinking it was. They were the minority.

It was "canon" in pretty much the same way. Actually, no, GT was much canonical than this since GT was an actual continuation in the same media whereas the "timeline" was never directly supported in any game and is, as Nintendo employees themselves admit, "flexible and open to change"

The original creator didn't do it so it wasn't canon.
