I love how CDI Link is constantly referencing his original game's dialogue while Cartoon Link is constantly speaking with those saturday morning cartoon quips, the entire episode was super charming.
This is my first time catching a Not DB and I have to say I really appreciate all the effort that went into the research and debate, as well as the animation. You wouldn't expect this much genuine passion from a parody a lot of the time. As for the episode itself, I'm shocked at how genuinely close and multifaceted the debate was here. All the dialogue was really entertaining and their powers were used in really interesting ways, I really didn't see the bell coming at first. Really good stuff! I'm definitely gonna check out some more of these, I hope you do Zelda vs Zelda sometime
Watching this live was absolutely incredible, the fake outs genuinely got me and while I was sad to CDI Link lose, the animation was so expressive and funny that i just had an absolute blast. Sharpie vs Highlighter has no reason to go as hard as it does and I'm hyped for that when it comes out. Both you and Whoand clearly put your all into this and I can tell you it was so worth the final product,
The writing and action in this episode were really good. Action was way more solid than I was expecting, and I loved those cheesy one-liners and Cd-i Link’s obliviousness.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm actually hyped for this fight. No matter who loses, the rest of the Zelda Community and the world as a whole wins. Edit: I loved this episode. It had good characterization and writing. The animation went surprisingly hard, and the research and conclusion were about what I expected. The voices for both were also pretty spot on, but with these two, idk if that's a good thing or not 😂.
Besides a Battle Royal with 5 or 6 versions of an actual Link, this is one of the few alt version fights I wanted to see for Link and this did not disappoint. Honestly was surprised that DiC Link had a lot of bad ass moments and cool sounding feats where as CDI Link....was pretty expected where you had to give more leeway and examine stuff to make him more impressive. Also didn't think some stuff that is now a staple of BotW/TotK would have its start in the DiC cartoon with shield surfing and bomb hopping. Definitely made me find the DiC Link more impressive and interesting. I think my favorite part of this is that CDI Link sounds almost wimpy while DiC sounds like a meat head jock which really fits him. The only flaw I'd give this is I think DiC Link should have had the taller, more masculine sprite while CDI had the more cartoony, dopey looking one. The taller one with some alterations I could see as DiC Link while some alterations to the short one I could see looking pretty good for CDI. At first, and this is probably me being dumb, I thought the tall one was DiC Link and was confused why his sword was so long when you made constant jokes about it but again, could just be me being dumb. All around, this was a good video of a matchup I'd love to see and you did really well with it. Honestly don't even want DB to touch it because it'd be more condensed, they'd likely just make the same jokes but likely not as funny and come out as forced and they likely wouldn't make much mention of either Link being thirsty because they seemed to have really turned down Boomstick's pervertiness so instead would go on some tangent about nice guys or incels or something. All in all, with maybe some rough parts of this video ironed out, I think you honestly did this matchup way better than DB could ever do it, if they ever did because at this point they'd only do what's more popular, big and current.
CDI Link vs. Cartoon Link Breakdown (specifically the reasoning on why Cartoon Link won) While CDI Link can heal himself, has a one-shot option, has better ranged options, has similar speed to Cartoon Link and has some similar equipment, there's not much he can do. Cartoon Link can get around the one-shot or shoot CDI Link before he can use it, and his deflector shield can send back all of CDI Link's ranged options, forcing him to right at close range. However, with Cartoon Link's greater AP, durability and skill, Cartoon Link would have the edge, even if they used their strength increasing equipment.

Bar in none the best episode of ndb . Really loved the hand drawing characters for the analysis. This has to be one of the best ones you guys have put out. The animation, chefs kiss. Really loved the effort you guys put out. Keep on the great work you guys.
After letting this stew in my head for a while, this episode of Not Death Battle is now in my top 5. It still doesn’t beat Destoroyah vs Iris, but it’s high up there.
Out of curiosity, why did you decide Zelda's Adventure and Captain N are canon to their respective Links? Aside from being made by the same companies, I can't see much connection between them and their source material just looking stuff up. Hell, Zelda's Adventure was made by a different developer. Although this wouldn't really change the outcome, given Zelda's Adventure had the strongest feat CD-i Link could possibly scale to while Captain N was supporting evidence at most. I'm just curious. Was it just to have more to review than a single game and thirteen fifteen-minute episodes?
I think link wins this, Link is stronger than link but link is faster than link but link has better hax than link but then again link has a better arsenal than link. Linkception.
Luxo Jr vs Man In The (Moon Pixar vs Dreams works) connections their logos of the two biggest 3D movies studios they are the first characters you see before the movie starts i’m pretty sure there’s a third thing but whenever it’s Pixar and DreamWorks fight
I know you're trying to copy boomstick or something but your voice is really hard to understand. Maybe it's your mic quality, audio EQ or straight up pronunciation needs work.

"Gee, it sure is boring around here."
vs
"Well Excuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuse Me, Princess."
Only one of them can do the duck walk.

This matchup of all things had no reason to go as hard as it did, well done Nem.
Also Sharpie vs Highlighter woooooo!

27:40 I reaaaaaallly hope that's a reference to Link vs. Cloud 2012

Ngl this is the matchup is one that should happen officially. The quality here is stellar.

Let's go this was a meme legend match
Now we just need Hotel Mario vs the super Mario show mario
Or Super Mario from the Super Show VS Sonic from the Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog
Gay Luigi VS Mama Luigi
No matter who wins, people will still call them Zelda.
Zelda vs Metroid. When?

What an odd coincidence that a few days ago, I suddenly started to think about that rivalry between Young Link and Toon Link, lol.
In Canon young Link and Toon Link are the same person they just have different art styles for the games

This was really good credit to all the people who worked on this
This is the best video on the internet

I missed Not Death Battle it’s nice to see it back
Sharpie vs Highlighter let's fucking gooooi
HERE COMES A NEW CHALLENGER!
My money was on cartoon link for more showings and cdi link didn’t really fight ganon, he just opened up a book and sucked him in
24:54 was such a clever joke
This was great and intense! Good job to everyone involved!
Based Smosh Zelda Rap footage.
I legit got hyped by this episode!
After letting this stew in my head for a while, this episode of Not Death Battle is now in my top 5. It still doesn’t beat Destoroyah vs Iris, but it’s high up there.
I got a request, how about Glue VS Tape?
Nemesis confirming why he is the peak death battle content creator
The irony is if we included their memed counterparts, this becomes a stomp in cdi link’s favor.
Please make Shao Kahn(Mortal Kombat Annihilation) vs Piccolo(Dragonball Evolution)
That is the best Ytp fight ever
CDI bowser laugh solos

Probably to make cdi more impressive
This is the epitome of vs content
Ok this was generally a awesome fight
here's a suggestion for a not death battle
Clawroline (Kirby) VS Lopunny (Pokemon)
This idea is amazing
why does this go hard
I think link wins this, Link is stronger than link but link is faster than link but link has better hax than link but then again link has a better arsenal than link. Linkception.
Link negs 😴
@@VisalPlayzThe3rd Easy
"The winner is Link."
My prediction right now before watching: Cartoon Link wins.
Edit: I won!
Well excuuuuuuuuuuse me Nemesis
Zalgo vs the Scarlet King!
Super Mario super show Mario Vs hotel Mario when ?
I wonder if there are any other protagonists flanderized through bad yet enjoyable T.V shows
Also with a musical number in every episode.
Fucking Peak
Better than the Saitama honestly
The voices could use alot of work, not boomstick espically, its hard to hear what he's saying over their boomstickiness
On of the vc sounds like hes moaning overall good fight
Mario VS Mario (Super Mario Bros. (1993) VS The Super Mario Bros. Movie (2023))
anyone?
Luxo Jr vs Man In The (Moon Pixar vs Dreams works) connections their logos of the two biggest 3D movies studios they are the first characters you see before the movie starts i’m pretty sure there’s a third thing but whenever it’s Pixar and DreamWorks fight
🔥🔥
Just glad link won you know
I know you're trying to copy boomstick or something but your voice is really hard to understand. Maybe it's your mic quality, audio EQ or straight up pronunciation needs work.
Can u guys do Barbie Vs Oppenheimer
nah this was to jokes
when I paused the video to watch it on a separate computer I stopped it on 9:11 insert joke about that here
24:54 was such a clever joke
