Entertainingly, that further supports this result- Even he, as arrogant as he is, defers to her without comment or even an attempt to have her be the one to change.
Not so shure, on the champion's ballad dlc, you fight wind blight gannon with a regular falcon bow, not revalli's signature great eagle bow, and on the hyrule worriors dlc, on the windblight gannon fight, you see revalli is fighting him at nighttime, botw ritos are based in birds of prey, but not on owls, and outside of owls, other birds of pray have horrible night vision, while at that time all the other champions lost their fights on their full power, if nintendo went out of their way to nerf revalli on his fight with windblight gannon so he could die, if that don't say he was the strongest champion, and would survive on better circonstances, in don't know what do.
@@uchihajunior5648 Well, Urbosa fought Thunderblight Ganon. Considering that Thunder is in his name, we can agree that he was probably more resistant to electricity than most others. So Urbosa's furry was sort of nerfed as well.
I think Urbosa deserves a 9 or 10 in personality. Not only is she extremely intelligent, but she can read people like a book. She sees what's going on between Link and Zelda, and is overall extremely wise. She could probably predict her opponent's battle style with ease.
They're traits are very different from the original champions so I actually would be interested in seeing how they match up. I would probably give it to either Yunobo or Sidon honestly. Yunobo is the only one to inherit his ancestors signature ability which basically makes him invulnerable, meanwhile Sidon at least still has Hydrokinesis and his hulking frame albeit he can't heal. Teba is incredibly skillful but unlike Revali he can't summon gales meaning he's at the mercy of his environment in terms of being able to fly high into the sky, meaning in most cases he'd have to fight on the opponents terms (albeit he's probably beter at close ranged combat as a result of that llimitation). Same goes for Riju, she depends heavily on the thunder helm to be able to control lightning and Patricia to get her around the place and fight, she's not that skilled in actual traditional combat and is easily the shortest and youngest of the bunch.
Urbosa: shoots lightning at enemy's Daruk: protected from almost everything Mipha:can heal fatal wounds Revali: I can fly faster when I'm already a bird
I think Urbosa would also be most able to exploit Revali's arrogance and lure him into some move he wouldn't normally make. I feel like Mipha would be too busy trying to stay alive to do the same and Daruk is such a wholesome person he probably wouldn't think to do it.
Revali isn't arrogant but highly insecure. Well at least the Japanese and German revali is. The english version really robbed you guys of one of the most interesting and nuanced characters I have ever seen in zelda.
The only thing about Revali's wind being the least useful among the other champions is that it was mentioned in Breath of the Wild that, yes, the Rito could fly but couldn't make their own wind fly. It was also stated in the game that Revali found a way to create his own wind. Therefore, he basically created his own magic.
@@qxtuvoslays That's effectually true, though Mipha's Grace has saved me WAY more often, and is more useful in a pinch (though is admittedly just a glorified fairy). I turn off Urbosa's Fury AND Daruk's Protection when I play. I like to do my OWN parrying and don't want a thunderstorm every darn time I perform a charge attack.
Agreed, Revali put in much more work than the other champions to gain his champion ability, whilst the other abilities are alluded to be innate or passed down from parent to child.
@@Simply_resharkable knowing urbosa she would definitely have a fighting type move for ground types. And if we talk in that sense, mipha would have most likely beaten daruk
It doesn’t really matter. Pokemon types don’t effect this. Overall I think Revali is the better warrior, but fury is just too well suited to dealing with them in a fight
Something I think is impressive about Revali, it is at least implied that the other champions were born with their abilities, haven’t gone lore hunting in botw at all so I can’t say if it was actually confirmed or not, but Revali made Revali’s Gale all on his own with seemingly no outside help from a bloodline or others helping him hone his abilities. He invented his own magic, and then was THAT good at it. I’m not sure if that should be extra points for his magic skill or intellect or both, but something should get bonus points for that I think
@@Wither_Strike "written 4 months ago..." The game has been in development for more than 4 months and has prequels to support it, anyway. According to lore, control of the wind comes from the descendants of the sages of the rito race, which Revali's is some kind of descendant
@@slay0130 development yes, but it wasn't playable, all we had were trailers. That statement is still accurate unless you're omniscient or a Nintendo employee. The canonicity of age of calamity is dubious at best. And I did not know of the fact that control of the wind comes from descendants, as stated I haven't gone lore hunting in botw. Although to my knowledge revali and tulin aren't related, we see tulins dad in botw and to my knowledge there's no hints that revali and tulins dad are related, I've also not played TOTK enough to know if tulin even mentions a relationship with revali. I do believe tulin got his powers from the sage, I just don't think revali did. We've also seen the moment revali mastered his abilities, which was much later in life, so it's implied to be something he wasn't born with but had to work for
@@legomaster2538 Highly doubt it. Her defense and weakness to lightning would make her very wary of Urbosa's magic since she can incorporate electricity through her weapons and body. So with that said, it would be very stupid for her to just run in like no care in the world to try and take her on through this strategy and she knows it. Plus, Urbosa knows how to parry, which although isn't as strong as link's which can parry lynel charges and guardian beams, it can still parry with lots of skill and strength and assuming she can parry, she would also have superior reflexes since she can react as fast as frickin lightning and would easily be enough to block most of mipha's attacks assuming she doesn't try and use her water magic which wouldn't work against since electricity is more potent when there is water around, and with how devastatingly precise her thunder strikes are, it would make quick work of Mipha. Also, side note: I'm not saying Mipha is bad but compared to other champions, she is definitely the weakest because of her weaknesses and lack of defense and strength
if urbosa had a no magic rule fight with Mipha the spear _Would_ be a bit more of an issue but that would be a personal sparing match for them to improve their fighting styles and not a round robin to the death 'who's the strongest' situation
@@DryBonesandSilver I'd heard so much about Thunderblight's boss battle and how hard it was, I walked into that fight overpowered as heck. I was terrified. Had it been my first blight, I would have absolutely gotten bodied. That honor, however, went to Waterblight, because I didn't realize you could use Runes in fights at that point.
Honestly, I think the biggest thing that Zeltik missed is water's impressive ability to kill momentum. Given the fact that AoC shows she can generate almost a limitless amount of water from seemingly nowhere, there's nothing stopping her from surrounding herself with water and sapping her opponents stamina away by repeatedly forcing them to fight against drag. While this would doubtlessly leave Urbosa's elemental advantage against her unchanged (though Mipha is likely smart enough to catch Urbosa off guard and have her shock herself considering she has little to no experience fighting in/around water), it would render Revali's arrows useless forcing him to approach her and risking him getting soaked, which would severely cripple his flying ability. Still a great, thought provoking video though!
@@twentytwosticks6531 Lol, if she will use water to defend herself, then Revali can absolutely destroy her with thunder arrows, so it's not really a problem for him
17:34 and on heels! She's fighting on sand and irregular terrain with a pair of fancy d'orsay type heels. I have no idea how is Urbosa not sinking on sand nor tripping over with such a irregular rocky terrain. Even Link had to get some special foot wearing to properly walk on sand.
Garudo grew up in those conditions, and generally are tough (not goron tough, those guys are quite literally rocks), ganondorf can be used as an example to a degree, but the tri force limits that. Still, she'd of had her entire life to learn how to do that so it's likely she had practiced it
She got used to heels. If she wears normal link shoes she would literally fall over, because her feet is already experienced of atrophy, making her feet down curved so her feet could fit in a heels.
Revali is definitely strong, but I think it would’ve been more fair to give him a 6 or lower in that category. (especially considering a 7 is the same score Urbosa got, and she is definitely stronger)
I dunno revali can fly which is already strong then he can carry people on his back ( I don’t think I’ve ever seen him do it but when facing medoh in botw there’s a rito that carries you) and then he can change direction in the air pretty fast which takes muscle and he’s basically same height as urbosa and urbosa is fucken thin compared to him so he literally has more muscles and they’re more put to use then her so he’s probably stronger unless the gerudo are strong because magic or something but otherwise he has more muscle and the muscles he has are more trained so he stronger
An average man is stronger than a pretty strong woman. Urbosa might look strong, but she's not a jacked man, just a skinny woman with some skinny muscles showing. Remember what the UFC women are saying - They might be great fighters in womens UFC, but they dont stand a chance if they were to fight their average guy husbands.
@@aliataya1089 birds have different bones to humans as the guy in the video said they’re hollow but have ligaments and such for stability but that still doesn’t make them anywhere near the sturdiness of mammalian bones so it would be much easier to crush his bone than it would be for a human. which tbh i’ve always thought is a bit of a bizarre evolutionary choice since if a bird was to break a bone in their wing that would render them functionally useless but whatever i’m going off topic LOL
@@kiwamihollie well I mean I still think it would be really hard to hit him and honestly I think he’s the physically strongest besides daruk since flying a long time takes muscles and being able to lift a person while flying
i love how sassy and passive agressive Theba is to Revali, when he's like "well that was...enlightning" Like "I had no idea that Revali was such an asshole..."
Urbosa: A certified SnS main who can shoot lightning from the sky ala Thor, and is also incredibly agile despite heels. Daruk: Has a damn near impenetrable barrier and, y'know, is a literal boulder. Mipha: Power to heal others while also holding her own with the trident/spear. Revali: *i am speed*
Mipha is a support character. Her strength is in healing allies and using range to distract and weaken enemies with water while others finish them off.
We also need to take into account that Urbosa is incredibly agile, even in sand, despite the fact that she wears heels. That is truly something that is near impossible
Something that wasn't mentioned in the revali mipha fight was that a lot of birds can't fly when they are wet and that bomb arrows don't work in the rain/water
Shock arrows do though. 😉 And as is shown in BotW, electricity is the Zora's weakness as they can't even touch those arrows. Mipha would be dead in seconds.
Ye but how will revali get wet if he’s really far away and also even if bomb arrows don’t work he could still use other types of arrow since arrows work underwater and in the rain and it’s not like she particularly strong against getting shot in the face so revali still solos
Most birds have a special coating on their feathers to prevent them from being grounded by rain, the exceptions are stuff like owls that sacrifice that coating for stealth
Not only the speed but also the fact that she can literally swim up waterfalls would make her ridiculously strong. If he compares Revali to real life birds in terms of strength, you can also compare Mipha to real life fish and you can imagine the strength of a human size fish. Mipha is heavily downplayed in the strength category
Absolutely, I mean, Mipha’s father straight up yeeted a guardian off a cliffface! I wouldn’t be too surprised if mipha could yeet a Moblin in a similar fashion.
Revali might be arrogant for sure but he's not that dumb. His battle with link prpves it. And in my view, revali had the upper hand. Link was still on his back while revali is already in position. No matter how fast link is, revali would still be first to hit.
@@stellar1463 well the thing is though, as many have pointed in other talks about this fight and this video: Zelink gave Revali the benefit of the doubt by having him always keep his distance, which is kind of a given, because of his ability of flight, stay clear, shoot from afar and all that, of course as further cutscenes have shown his arrows are not unlimited. Now this is were things get interesting, and the reason why most people anonymously agree Link would have ended up winning. Whatever Revali tried before, failed, and quite literally got him sent flying, and it's very likely he tried attacking from a distance and it proved to be ineffective, so he then he tried a different approach, and it was here that Revali made the fatal mistake, of getting in close. This is where things start getting ridiculous about Link, characters in game and theorists have pointed out, that he has some kind of ability, where his perception of time is significant slowed down, and he even has this ability on Aoc though the game doesn't tell you this, and I'm not talking about flurry rushes. The point is, it's not a case of Revali being dumb or not, as impressive as Revali's manoeuvre was, Links reaction speed is just significantly faster, hence why he still ended up blocking the arrow at point blank. You also need to remember, Link bested wind blight Ganon, where as Revali failed and died, and he could do this without the master sword in hand.
@@somerandomguy3835 i dunno abt that theory but all i said was in that scene. I never said revali would win. All i saod was he would be first to hit. Link would be superior from the 4 champions. What i'm tryin to point out is that he can best out urbosa. Urbozas fury may have a wide range but it aint that far. And with battle with link revali proved them wrong.
28:40 my favorite thing about this scene is how the fight wouldn’t have ended there, as Revali’s arrow is blocked on the sharp edge of Link’s sword. It beautifully shows how insanely skilled they both are.
Urbosa is the strongest I mean, her instant lighting, amazing agility, and cool personality, stacked on top that she can fight in heels in the desert i mean-
@@hnlgd37 Daruk doesn't even need Rubber armor, Gorons NATURALLY resist Lightning without protection anyway, the rubber would just slow him down even more.
Can we talk about the fact that Revali often uses bomb arrows that deal huge amounts of damage unless it rains? Yeah, in the hot places like Death Mountain they would explode but still
If i remember correctly, bomb arrows will explode before being shot in death mountain, so it would be a disadvantage for revali if he fought in that environment
Honestly, the blights are moreso a show of how powerful Link is if anything. Even with the help of their descendants, the Champions almost lost to the Blights. However, Link managed to, if only for a brief moment, square off against all four at the same time. And I think it's fair to say that were he only going up against one, he could've beaten them.
@@cooperchance7720 He did so against the original Blights. Remember that these are more powerful, element infused Blights that are different from the original timelines' versions.
@@KingMerrDG We do see that she regularly admonishes Revali. If anyone could get under his skin and goad him to drop his guard, it's her. The fact that she regularly gets on his case for his ego is more than enough to make Revali want to prove her wrong, and coupled with how clever Urbosa is in a fight, she'd pick up on this. I'd wager she'd call him a coward for staying airborn, and say he's not good enough to face her up close, which would get the better of Revali's fragile ego. Then to prove her point she'd unleash her fury, grounding the winged archer. Annoyed that his advantage of flight was stripped away by her lightning, he'd probably try to maneuver around her, without much luck. Her shield and parry abilities would quickly deflect and disarm him, with a fatal blow not far behind.
@@kaitoudark1 I doubt this scenario is likely. Revali is a skilled warrior, with an ego yes, but he knows his advantages. Against link, we see him avoid head on contact, and he probably would’ve landed a clean hit of Zelda didn’t stop it. (Though he doesn’t block the attack, revali did hesitate, but I think there’s a 50/50 chances of this working, just because Link is a beast.) And honestly, the very unlikely situation you described is probably the only way Urbosa wins, depending on how accurate her lightning is. We saw Revali keep Link on the defensive, though it was his own territory, but his arsenal is much wider. Really, you can argue about who’s strongest, bust Revali is the most skilled by far, only second to Link skill wise. Though, I think he stands a chance at beating Link, over the others. I kinda rule off Mipha off the bat, and the only thing saving Daruk is his strength, but we see Link reflecting Lynel blows with ease(debatable, I guess), so I don’t know how solid that is. I do think Daruk is considerable stronger then a Lynel, but I could see Link parrying it anyways. But I have no doubt that either way, Link wins. That leaves urbosa and revali. (I don’t know how this became the champions vs link but ok) I think Urbosa can probably hang with Link for a long time, but I have no doubt Link is more skilled. And when it comes to Revali, it’s probably the closest fight, in canon. But with a bow, this is a win for Link, probably. (Revali probably more skilled with a bow, and quicker with wings, but I also don’t see Link letting himself take damage) But back to the original point, 7/10 Revali beats urbosa.
@@KingMerrDG Well even if Revali was soaring in the air, Urbosa could strike him down even if he switches direction and take that time when he falls to strike him with her moves of the seven. Revali could camp up there for as long as he wants she WILL eventually strike him down, her skill is amazing and once he falled down it's the end for Revali.
I only recently learned the AoC DLC added several scenes involving Revali and Tulin (who had apparently followed Teba through.) Revali is very skilled, but is probably a teenager- or at least some level of adolescent. He still has his cheek markings; the ones that all the kids have but none of the adults in Rito Village have.
You are right. I personally believe that Revali isn’t even 20 years old, probably around Link and Zelda’s age. In Urbosa’s diary (Champion’s Ballad DLC) she lumps him in with Link, Zelda, and Mipha as “young”, and from Revali’s own diary, he sounds like he doesn’t have a whole lot of life experience, again leading me to believe he’s younger. Small point I would like to make, I’m pretty sure Mipha is still young for a Zora. That’s why she’s so small, she’s literally still growing. In human years she’s probably 60-80 but that would mean she’s around 15-17 in Zora time. This is why her crush on Link is innocent young love, and not weird.
@@joypink5599 I agree; I firmly believe that Sidon is older than Mipha ever got to be. Tears of the Kingdom pretty much confirmed Revali for me too. The older Rito children still have the cheek spots, now shaped more like Revali’s. The guy was a teenager, probably with no Teba to try and curb his arrogance.
Just 2 things. Revali's fights depend HEAVILY on where he is fighting. If it's inside a builing/dungeon/cavern with low ceiling, it's not happening for Revali. It also seems it was considered almost unlimited arrows for Revali. In an open place he can leave a stash wherever he feels like only he can reach, but in closed space, not so much.
Death Mountain would also hold Revali back far more than any other champion as he wouldn't be able to use his bomb arrows in the intense heat without them exploding in his face, likely killing him. Let's give the champions the benefit of they have fireproof potions to keep from burning up in the intense heat, that wouldn't change Revali being put at a huge disadvantage as his main source of offensive being his bomb arrows it taken away from him. He'd be limited to using normal arrows which could also burn up in the intense heat before they reach their mark. Revali's gale may also be a detriment to him here as any fires from his arrows burning up could lead to him fanning their flames making them burn more quickly leaving his stash of arrows dwindling very quickly. I believe Revali's also the only champion with a wooden weapon so it'd also eventually catch fire which would be even worse in a drawn out battle against Daruk or Urbosa waiting for the right moment to strike him with lightning. This would be single handedly the worst place Revali could fight one of the other champions especially Daruk and his tough hide shrugging off his arrows and no bomb arrows to overwhelm his protection. Mipha still loses... sadly.
Additionally, birds can’t fly if their wings are wet. So Mipha just shoots him with a waterfall and kills him with a trident while he tries to shoot her from the ground... just imagine...
And even if revali was arrogant as f*ck, he ain't dumb. He's actually smart. Why would he actually fight in a space of disadvantage? No matter his cockiness, it ain't proven that he'll be tricked. Remember when he challenged link? Where did he wanted the match? In vah medoh where he had the advantage. And imo no champion can keep up with revalis speed and agility especially in flight mode. No one can reach him and all they'll be seeing are raining down arrows
I can see it now. Daruk, thinking: _well I don’t want to hurt the little lady..._ Mipha: *lands a single blow on Daruk* Daruk: *falls over dramatically* ah! Ah! You got me! I’m down! You win!
Also funny enough, when you use Mipha in the Daily Drills: Gorons (or whatever it's called) mission, and when you get to fight Daruk, he mentions that he won't go easy, though he doesn't like it
Mipha I feel was nerfed here, especially in strength and endurance. It takes a HUGE amount of both to swim that fast and that far. So her strength and speed should be at least a 5. Also, her control over water can wear her opponents down, exhausting or drowning them. Water can even crack rock so she'd have a more even chance against Daruk.
@@Reihaa It takes strength for someone who isn't a zora, swimming that way is pretty much their special ability. Just like electricity resistance is a Gerudo ability, and heat resistance a goron ability The zora have the shape of a shark and sharks have a naturally hydrodynamic design, maybe more than any other sea animal with their smooth skin. So it's logical to assume it doesn't take a zora anywhere near the same effort as another species to swim
I mean water can break anything it just take millions of years so bruh and also technically revali can fucken fly for a long time so shouldn’t he be technically right under daruk since he’s like equal length with urbosa and he seems to have more muscle
@@crabbyboi7416 well yeah, but when is Link EVER an interesting character lol. The characteristics and life of link are intended to come from you, the player. You’re supposed to connect with link throughout the adventure and feel like you have become the hero too.
"[the daybreaker shield] is made from lightweight, durable gold" ironically, those are not attributes gold normally has, so Urbosa has magical gold or something
Still watching, but I just want to say that the fact that this is almost an hour of fascinating Zeltik content with this level of time, effort and editing skill put into it is seriously impressive. This is very high quality stuff we are talking about and I hope Zeltik knows that. Keep up the good work, and may the Goddess smile upon you!
@@jokermain6665 She is arguably the most intelligent. She knew that disguised hylians were yoga clan members. She has great agility, she kept up with blight ganon the fastest ganon. She has a shield second only to duruks protection. She also has the best offensive with her lighting ability.
Idk, Daruk surprisingly puts up a solid fight (although she's really just dancing around him taking electrical potshots until he's had enough), and vs Revali she basically has to overwhelm and out-snipe a sniper looping around/above her while it's raining explosives. Overall Revali's arrogance will be turned against him by Urbosa... unless Revali feints an arrogant streak to make Urbosa take advantage of an 'opening' and flips the script.
The fact that his bow is one of the strongest in the game... think of the poundage of pulling that bow back as many times as he does? in life archery contests have a limit of 60 poundage pulls and they pull 100's of times to be able to pull back without shaking. Revali does this in the air, with three arrows. the cutscene where zelda meets revali at the flight range, the english version says "must stay in the eye of the whirlwind." Dude is getting battered by a mini tornado every time he uses his gale. The Revali vs Link cutscene... he didn't intervene until after he got too close and got "info" about the invaders. He also uses battle tactics ALOT in that scene. He tried two times and successfully got Link's shield away, once with his talons, and the other with one of his efficient bomb arrows. The one thing that had a chance of blocking his arrows. He used the smoke screen a few times. The other thing, is he INVENTED his magic. For every other champion their magic could be chocked up to genetics, or an inheritance. Revali MADE his
Bruh finally someone gets it like he can pelt them with arrows and he wins like literally he has so much range and he accuracy he could aim at the feet of urbosa so she can’t block mipha takes time to heal so he can stop her and kill her with a single shock arrow then daruk can have his shield destroyed by bomb arrows
@@yoimama647 Not to mention he draws comparison to real life birds and how strong they have to be from a musculature standpoint, but then gives Mipha less than half Revali's physical score when she can swim *up a waterfall* at superhuman speed...ignoring just how ludicrously strong you'd have to be to perform a feat like that.
The editing is ON POINT my dude! The shot with Zora suit Link hitting a bird with the trident... the cutscene of Revali getting struck in the air (by windblight) to illustrate him getting stuck by lightening... The whole video is a masterpiece of editing, it's beautiful! :)
Worth noting as well, about Urbossa’s agility and speed-she’s able to keep up with and almost outmaneuver Thunderblight while wearing *high heels* (Now THAT is skill)
What I love about Zeltik videos is his masterful weave of music, visuals and soothing voice. The three joined together makes me forget about time, and just makes me enjoy the video without any distraction. Thanks Zeltik, for blessing us with your art and skills
This is my opinion feel like urbosa would be the mom and Mipha would be the sister revali would be the cocky younger brother and daruk would be the dad
If you look at Urbosa's interactions with Zelda Urbosa is much more suited to the mother role than mipha imo. As is mipha more suited to being a sister than a mother (especially seeing as she already is a caring older sister with Sidon)
Definitely agree with your rankings, but also want to add this: of all the champions, I feel like Urbosa is the one most likely to manipulate Revali's arrogance to set him up for a mistake.
Zeltik, you should make "Which Incarnation of Zelda is the Strongest" and a "Which Champion Successor is the Strongest" Edit: OMG Zeltik noticed me! I love your videos!!!
Honestly botw zelda/age of calamity Zelda is probably the strongest. She has experience using the sheikah slate, and unlocked her sealing power that was able to hold off Ganon for 100 years and implied that she has the full triforce, as her wish of protecting everyone caused terrako to wake up and and travel through time to create a new timeline. So indirectly Zelda was strong enough and utilize the full triforce to change reality itself. Let’s be honest most zeldas outside spirit tracks,Botw,Aoc,OoT did jack shit lol. Windwaker and TP Zelda literally only pulled out the bow of light last minute. And honestly probably the smartest one too, as she is actually depicted as wise, tech savvy, and obsessed with research. As opposed to just being a “wise” sage
I think Revali would know he'd be screwed but I'd love to see mind games between him and Urbosa, using his arrogance to his advantage. Making Urbosa think he's getting reckless or trying to deal a finishing blow only to bait Urbosa into countering to put her in a situation that allows him to deal a sizable hit or 2
Revali is weak to taunts, but he’s not stupid. He’d most likely keep his distance most of the fight, and maybe try to make the finishing blow close range (which he’d most likely do anyway, but since Urbosa taunted him to do it she might still be able to get the read on him).
I do agree with this assessment, but I do think that revali had 1 weakness no mentioned. His bow needs arrows, and no matter how strong he is, he can't carry infinite arrows, regular or otherwise
Given how we've never seen him run out despite repeated usage, however many he can carry its enough that it isn't a factor except in extremely prolonged fights.
Do you remember the photo taken after the naming ceremony? Daruk made everyone have a weird face/position ... except Urbosa, who was just as fabulous as ever. That is her greatest power: style.
I think this video is very accurate, though I just think that Mipha is always a bit underrated. In this scenario of course, her opponents are very strong, but she has the precision of a spearfighter, rivaled only by revali. The long lifespan of the Zora and the preferred weapon they use as shown by sidon wielding spears does truely make her fightingstyle one of a kind. Because of this incredible skill, I think she would be very agile as positioning is one of the most important things when fighting with a weapon that has a longer range, thus I think she could have a chance against daruk, being able to dodge his attacks and defeating him with small attacks here and there, using his slow moves against him. Having incredible stammina because she lives in water, this makes her a master when it comes to playing the long fighting game, thus she would have got more time to strategize
Poor Mipha. Not only does she get killed before she can propose to the man she loves, she gets to see him fall for the woman she gave her life in service of. Then she gets no wins. Girl shoulda sided with Ganon 😂
If Revali's strength as a bird is being taken into account, the muscle strength Mipha needs to rapidly swim up a huge waterfall should also be considered. Mipha and her family clearly have sharklike traits, and sharks are 85% muscle mass. It takes much more power to propel through water than the air, and Mipha swims up a waterfall with so much force she shoots out when she gets to the top. I'm not saying she would be very durable but her strength imo is much much higher
Well yea but even if she’s 85% muscles she’s still a lot smaller than all of the champions other than link so she’s still weaker and also the swimming up waterfalls can be done by anyone with zora armour even a goron
@@aliataya1089 But then that stance shoots itself in the foot. If size is such a factor, then *Link* is inherently weaker than everybody else, too, which we know isn't true. Also, the armor _GRANTS_ that ability to its wearer, but is an innate ability of the Zora Princess. Besides, if Mipha wasn't a strong warrior, she wouldn't have been invited to become a Champion in the first place, nor would King Dorephan have permitted her to swim to her death, just like that.
@@BoyProdigyX I mean link is way fucken weaker than all of them but he still wins like there’s literally not a single soul saying that link is stronger also people are saying that swimming up means that she’s stronger since it takes effort but for a zora it doesn’t since all zora can do it and yes it grants the ability I don’t get the point you’re making you just said the same thing as me also yes mipha is a strong warrior but she’s just shittier than the other also it’s mostly her ability to heal wounds which actually makes her useful other than that she’s basically not that good
Let’s see....Mipha can heal allies and she’s pretty quick with close range combat. Daruk can protect himself and his attacks are hard hitters. Revali can barely be touched while in the air, and Urbosa can wipe out crowds with a snap of her fingers
I think the magic side of it is the manipulation of wind. Seeing as all of the other champions can wield specific elements (aside from link, who wields the triforce of courage instead) i.e. Daruk has earth/fire, Mipha has water, and Urbosa obviously has Lightning, it would make sense for Revali to be able to manipulate/ bend air and wind. This would also explain his speed and agility in the air relative to other Rito, as well as how he is able to glide so fast for so long without needing to flap his wings as much as one would expect. I believe the part of this ability that he perfected (the part you are calling scientific) is specifically tunneling the wind he can manipulate into an updraft, which we see him perfecting in one of the memories from botw. Him having the ability to basically airbend also explains how holding his wing above the ground in a specific way to make the air around him flow upwards is even possible.
Good question but I think it’s a mix of both, mostly magic however. We were told that Rito’s can only glide very well, they don’t exactly “fly.” And the scene of Revali practicing the Gale, one tiny wing flap creates an updraft which is where I think the magic comes in. Then the science comes in when he has to learn how to keep balance while rocketing upwards.
@@kaitlyn3386 Yeah that makes sense too. But then that doesn't explain how link is able to do it so easily. When Link gains access to Revali's gale he is instantly able to stay within the funnel perfectly fine, which any other theory would lead you to believe took Revali years of practice. Which is why I think the magic part is the manipulation of wind and the skill part is specifically forming it into a funnel. I think when Revali was practicing it he wasn't necessarily practicing staying inside of the funnel, but instead he was practicing making a funnel that was able to keep him inside of it.
@@chefboyardong1008 Remember that Revali is the one who activates the power around Link. Link doesn't use the move, Revali does. That's why Link needs to recharge it and Revali doesn't. Because Revali is using great strength and magic to use it around Link, who could be all the way across Hyrule.
@@chefboyardong1008 SuperMario is correct, it’s not Link summoning the updraft. When you use it Revali’s spirit flies around Link and forms the updraft. And like SuperMario said, it explains why it has to recharge.
@Pupsicle what about if the real Gerudo king was kidnapped and Ganondorf took his place, but Link manages to find him somehow and the king begs him to help him take back what’s rightfully his.
I think we all saw that coming, haha. Especially after I saw Urbosa's busted stats. I gotta say, this also speaks volumes about how terrifyingly powerful Ganondorf was. The man was likely trained in the same Gerudo martial arts as Urbosa, but also has the greater physical strength that comes with being a male Gerudo, had access to dark magic, *and* wielded the power of Demise's hatred. *Annnnd* that in turn speaks volumes on *Link's* strength, who bodied him throughout almost every timeline and reincarnation. 😅

I think you forgot to add Revali's infinite ammo cheat to his magic stat! If he were limited to one quiver of arrows, Daruk would probably stand a much greater chance.
@@skaionex If you count running away as a win, then Mipha beats everyone but Urbosa. Daruk can't chase her down, and Revali can't really shoot someone that teleports.
Very true. I considered that. Bomb arrows are his best bet, but he’d eventually run out. I mean they’re mad expensive, how many could he possibly afford? And I think if there were any champion that Revali would get cocky against, it’d be Daruk. He’s big, comes across as gullible and less intelligent, and clearly has no way of damaging Revali in the air. That would certainly tempt him to taunt and test Daruk, and could eventually result in him taking a huge hit. Overall, I agree that Revali would win more often, but I don’t think it’d be every time.
It probably just the camera and perspective works that made him sometimes taller and shorter. If you put Link, Urbosa and Ravioli together in a playable section, you'll see that Link is shorter than Ravioli, and Ravioli is shorter than Urbosa Also, Urbosa is shorter than average Gerudo
A bit late, but for the curious, Revali is extremely less rude in the Japanese language. He actually recognises Link's strength and does not hesitate much in saying so. Sure, he is still confident in his skill, but he also admitted when he was defeated by the blight, instead of saying that he did not taken his opponent seriously.
I feel you underestimated mipha a lot, have you seen what happens to proyectiles when launched through water? The momentum Is lost in an instant. Mipha could easily surround herself un water to stop Amy arrow. Also bomb arrows and fire arrows would not work being wet
True, I feel like she'd have a good chance against revali, because she can get high through waterfalls, but its hard to tell. Urbosa would fry revali and daruk couldn't touch revali unless he was in a cavern and daruk could cause rumbles of rocks
are we going by hyrule warriors logic? because im pretty sure she cant just summon water at will. she'd only win if they were in a water environment like a deep lake/sea
ehhh, bowfishing is a thing. yes, revali's bomb arrows will be instantly put out but regular arrows could still get her. now what she could do is summon a fiant water tornado to get revali drenched so he can be brought down out of the sky. then she would win
I agree she could definitely mitigate Revali's dmg, I don't think it's enough to change the outcome. Overwhelming aerial supremacy is... well, overwhelming .
I agree she is very strong but she is just not that strong compared to the other champions ( excluding link ) like Zeltik said the lightning from Urbosa is just not fair for Mipha and if Revali wether or not with shock arrows will kill her and Daruk would overwhelm her its just facts but she is still very powerful.
@Lady Mercy I also think people highly underrate Mipha's physicality. Somehow, Revali was given higher physical stats than her when all he did was attack Link by using the momentum of falling down from the sky, and instead of flying back link just got pushed back a little and shrugged it off. Meanwhile, when Link was fighting all 4 Champion Hollows, Mipha's Hollow was straight up able to overpower Link and push him back with her trident as well as break his sword in the process. That's not even taking into account the superhuman levels of strength that would be needed by the Zora to pull off most of their swimming feats (and it's stated that even for a Zora, Mipha is a first-rate swimmer). And it's not like she's a glass canon either. Yes, she's very weak to electricity. So much so that she can't even defeat the Lynel of Ploymus mountain alone but she still has some good durability too. In her Champion's ballad cutscene, we see her slide down the waterfall and jump down into the water from quite high . Most normal people who would have jumped from that high into the water would have gotten most of their bones fractured. Yet Mipha was perfectly fine when landing in the water. Overall, I think Revali should have been given the lowest physical stats. Especially when you compare all the Champion's strength to Link. Urbosa was able to block Sooga's sword attack for longer than Link, Mipha's hollow straight up pushed Link back and Daruk is obviously stronger than Link. Meanwhile Revali barely pushed Link despite attacking him by falling from the sky.
@@heroofangst Also, I agree with your point about how everybody underestimates Mipha's fighting abilities. However. I think Age of Calamity did a disservice to her fighting abilities. For exemple, unlike with the other Champions who we got to see fight their Ganon blights, they don't show us Mipha fight with Waterblight. We only get to see her exhausted before she gets saved by Sidon. There's also a cutscene where an electric Bokoblin was about to attack baby Sidon and Mipha was watching helplessly until grown Sidon came to save baby Sidon. I found this cutscene to be very dumb because: 1. Why didn't Mipha have her trident on her? It felt very convenient that at that specific moment, her trident was nowhere to be seen. 2. There were other Zora soldiers around and somehow, none of them heard Mipha scream for Sidon, or saw the giant electric Bokoblin roaming in the fort or saw the other Zora soldiers fighting monsters outside of the fort. 3. Mipha watching helplessly baby Sidon as he's about to be attacked by the electric moblin feels extremely out of character. She's said and shown multiple times that she was ready to die in combat for the people she loves. Honestly, this entire scene felt really dumb and just like some PIS (plot induced stupidity) to give Sidon a forced cool moment. And it sucks because I think it would have been nice if we could have seen Mipha save baby Sidon from danger by herself for once. And to add more, in the mission where we recruit Mipha, when fighting the Lynel to save baby Sidon, some of Mipha's dialogue shows us that she's exhausted. How could she even be exhausted fighting a single red-maned Lynel?! In Breath of the Wild, it's stated she could single handedly defeat 3 Guardian Skywatchers and 1 Guardian Turret during her Champion trial but in age of calamity, despite literally having help from Link (who we know could single handedly take the beast down easily) she's exhausted from fighting a single red-maned Lynel?! Yeah, it's kind of doesn't make sense to me. She can take down multiple flying guardians but a single Lynel pushes her to her limits? Yes the Lynel does have electric arrows and when electric arrows hit water, they turn into a large sphere of electricity making it harder to dodge them but there was no water on the ground when Link and Mipha were fighting the Lynel so Mipha should have been able to dodge the arrows. And clearly the arrows didn't hit her because otherwise she would have probably been knocked out, not exhausted. So why would she be exhausted? Overall, Age of Calamity doesn't portray her as a very good fighter compared to the other Champions (meanwhile statements from Breath of the wild would make you think the complete opposite). She always needed to be saved or had help. That's not taking into account the fact that they didn't give her a single fight scene.
if you had Mipha and Urbosa go against Revali and Daruk, it would be interesting, since those pairings would probably be the most balanced and have each side get the most out of each other's abilities. Daruk would be able to make up for Revali's close combat weakness by challenging anyone in direct combat while Revali sets up for unguarded ranged attacks, as well as being very good at protecting Revali as well as positioning and zoning the opponent with his lava pillars, and Revali being able to help maneuver Daruk, such as using Revali's gale while Daruk rolls up to either give him height advantage to roll down onto someone, launch him into an opponent, or possibly even let him drop onto someone, all while using his protect spell. Mipha and Urbosa would also be really good, as Mipha could heal attacks from Revali and Daruk, flank opponents with her spear while Urbosa can take on even multiple opponents at once by having both a sword and a shield which she can practically use interchangeably (as well as being able to stun an opponent), being more than fast, bulky, and equipped enough to defend Mipha from any direct combat, and Mipha being able to straight up boost the power of Urbosa's Fury both in it's accuracy and damage by having control over water, negating any resistance that Daruk or Revali would have to it. I feel like Mipha and Urbosa would probably win, since Urbosa would greatly benefit from being healed and having her best attack, already the best attack any of them have, buffed by a lot, and Mipha's weakness in combat being covered by Urbosa's great speed and reaction time as well as her defensive capabilities, making trying to attack Mipha would result in being damaged yourself and letting Mipha simply heal your attacks against herself and Urbosa, and flank you with a sharp stabby hurty spear on top of it. Being able to move fast, attack and defend at the same time, and have an on demand any range kill switch on top of an even more mobile supporter who heals all attacks you don't block and makes your on demand any range kill switch more deadly and reliable would make Urbosa even more overwhelming, even with Revali and Daruk's great synergy.
I think Mipha could do a lot more than just heal Urbosa and flank. One thing I think Zeltik missed is that Mipha could create giant water geysers in her moveset in AoC, so I think she could help get to Revali and knock him out of the sky (or at least catch him off guard) while he's most likely trying to take down Urbosa. Urbosa would most likely be fighting Daruk, knowing that Mipha could probably handle herself, only ever retreating for healing or to help Mipha if she does start struggling. Don't get me wrong, Urbosa is definitely the MVP in that team, but I just think Mipha could help a lot more than you said.
I mean I think that daruk by himself is second place and could beat urbosa and mipha by himself since they can’t damage him with they’re weaponry and he can breathe underwater and urbosa’s lightning can’t hurt him (he is rocks) so honestly adding on revali (first place) would just be overkill
@@ijustwantedtocomment8319 I mean I feel like as soon as the battle starts revali would already be in the fucken stratosphere so it wouldn’t change to much because he has a birds eye view so like doubt he’ll get caught lacking
@@ijustwantedtocomment8319 yuuup and also if mipha even catches revali ONCE in a water attack that severely weakens him since the waterlogged feathers will weigh him down, both slowing him and potentially even render him unable to fly. not to mention a waterlogged revali + urbosas fury is absolutely just straight up gonna be a one hit ko lol
Great video! Just a little thing I noticed is that you mention that it seems that gorons can breathe underwater because of the one in twilight princess, but there are no air bubbles coming from his mouth and he has no visible gills or anything, which would instead suggest that instead of breathing underwater, they don't breathe at all which just adds another thing to the list of questions as to how gorons work but ok
Think about it. Urbosa can use her thunder ability to take down two members. Because the zora are vulnerable to electric attacks, and ritos are well… in the sky. So unless revali can melee attack, urbosa takes down both revali and mipha.
One thing that struck me about Mipha's grace is the *damage* it inflicts. Combine this with the hand gesture and it makes me wonder - is she pulling health from her enemies in AoC?
I think you forgot to mention one of Revali's biggest weaknesses against Urbosa. His arrogance. He believes that he is the strongest champion of them all; so much so that he considers Link unnecessary to stop the Calamity. This would work against him when fighting Urbosa, who is a competent leader of her people, and a skilled fighter who be able to read her opponent's moves to predict their actions. Revali would most likely underestimate Urbosa and leave himself open to a counterattack. Moreover, Revali's pride would never allow him to admit that he is in a bad position and He is a would capitalize on that. All in all, Revali is skilled to be sure, but his Pride and arrogance just can't match up to Urbosa's honed mentality as a warrior and as a leader.
Well while Urbosa has lightning magic,it seems to have a limited range. If Revali stays out of the range,or if ancient arrows existed back then,he would just arrow spam urbosa
I think Mipha's strength stat is very underestimated. Why? Even having a body shaped for swimming, you would have to be very strong to move through water in speeds like Zoras do. Not only that she swims upwards waterfalls. That's gravity plus extra resistance. Let's give her some credit, she is FIT!
@@aliataya1089 I mean you might be right about this if you take into account the armour, but if you're considering armours then Mipha is even more powerful. Why? Because she basically just have to put the rubber armour and bam! No weaknesses anymore. And with this, we know Mipha is faster, controls water ( which can slow down their attacks and defense reflexes) so Mipha would be the strongest of them all
@@Brigid_Spirit nah I’m saying literally anyone can climb up waterfalls as long as they have the armour so I’m just saying that it’s not that big of a feat of strength also arrows can just fucken pierce water so revali solos her
@@aliataya1089 Well, I don't think it's that easy to climb an waterfall yk? It's just like the rubber armour the Zora armour grants you some sort of magic that enhances your strength in order to climb it. Otherwise no one except Mipha can do this, which shows that even if she might not be as strong as Daruk she is still freaking strong if we don't count her electric weakness.
@@aliataya1089 And also about arrows piercing water, that's not true. Arrows are shot in air with a strength that eventually weakens depending on the distance because of the gravity. However if arrows can be thrown that fast and that far it's because the resistance of the air against it is not as important as the resistance of water. So even if an arrow can be thrown in water, it doesn't mean it can reach Mipha in a huge amount of water and if it reaches her, the strength of the impact will be considerably reduced.
Also worth noting about Revali's Agility and Magic scores. Revali created his Gale technique in the first place because Rito cannot ascend on their own.
I genuinely knew that Urbosa was going to get 1rst - although all the champions have their own extremely epic features, Urbosa has a little bit of everything which makes her a warrior QUEEN in battle.
I dunno revali can go out of her range whilst still being in his range and raining down bombs arrow that he could aim at her feet so they explode under her so she has 0% chance of blocking and even so her shield has limited health
@@aliataya1089 And he can fly away at any given moment... watching this again I feel like Revali and Urbosa are tied, maybe, just because of Revali being, well, a bird.
@@aeia_a Daruk is 2nd in my opinion He quite literally only needs 2 hits at max with the BB, and electricity has poor conductivity in rock.(like really poor) At that point its Urbosa's speed vs Daruk's stamina, and like her fight against Thunderblight she's gonna get tired, and then the BB comes out and she gets C'd(clapped)
I actually want to point out Zeltik that in the cutscene you can hear the klink of the metal from the arrow coliding with metal and considering the position Link was in at that moment, I dont think Zelda stopped the fight. I'm fairly positive Revali let loose that headshot he had lined up and Link deflected the arrow with his sword.
I had the same thought. Link was already mid swing and Revali isn't the kind of person to be ordered out of a fight that easily so I don't doubt he would have loosed that arrow. I would have been very interested to see how the rest of that fight would have gone
If you watch the cutscene though, the arrow flies up at an angle past link, it seems revali just slightly adjusted his aim before he let his arrow fly. The arrow was already flying at the adjusted angle before link even turned around, he wouldnt have had time to deflect it.
@@RGMtz99 it wasn't already flying when link turned around tho. You can see Revali has the arrow pointed right at link's head as he is flying over him and in the time it takes to pull it back and for him to pause to say "But I'm better" in that split second you can see link turns his head and is already swinging his sword almost in front of the arrow when Zelda yells "Stop! Please!" And then you hear metal clanging on metal as the arrow flies directly upwards. Meaning there's only two possible ways the interaction could have gone. Either A, Revali shot directly at Link's head but link deflected it with his sword, or B, Revali turned and fired the arrow at link's shoulder plate causing it to bounce off his armor. Seeing as we can see the exact moment before the arrow is fired and Revali hasn't turned at all, it's safe to assume the former happened in this scenario
@@RGMtz99 I actually just rewatched it frame by frame and while yes, the arrow is technically turned while link hasn't moved his sword there yet, you can see a white clash just in front if the bow, far from where link's armor should be. So, either Link was intended to deflect the arrow and the timing is an error in the animation, or some outside interference saved link from the arrow
@@chefboyardong1008 Yeah i was paying more attention to the scene after revali says "but im better" where link is facing away from revali. But the scene before shows link clearly already facing revali. As it changed their positions between the two scenes that were supposed to have occured one after the other i do agree with you that it might have just been an error in the animation.
My humble opinion: Urbosa's agility should be amped up to a full 10 for the sole reason that she's doing all of her moves IN *HEELS*
True
Boondocks taught me a critical lesson with agile women in heels.
Agreed
Ha ha
Also she was fighting thunder blight and it was the fastest by far
39:20 The mental image of Mipha just suddenly YEETING her trident at Revali and oneshotting him is hysterical. He would be SO mad!
Idk if you can be mad when your dead
He'd probably look away, close his eyes, scoff, and say something like "As expected, you stand no chance against my level of ski- *BLEEECK* "
No he would be dead but yeah mad as a ghost
That’s where Mipha wins, due to his arrogance he flies like a dummy then mipha just YEETS
Couldn’t Mipha use her water bending to control her trident at least a little bit?
Fun fact: in the champions ballad picture, Revali and Urbosa were doing the same pose before Revali realized and changed his pose
3:51 Well shit, you're right
Entertainingly, that further supports this result- Even he, as arrogant as he is, defers to her without comment or even an attempt to have her be the one to change.
I never noticed that! haha Whenever Urbosa is on screen, she's the only one I can ever see, so it's not surprising I guess...
Not so shure, on the champion's ballad dlc, you fight wind blight gannon with a regular falcon bow, not revalli's signature great eagle bow, and on the hyrule worriors dlc, on the windblight gannon fight, you see revalli is fighting him at nighttime, botw ritos are based in birds of prey, but not on owls, and outside of owls, other birds of pray have horrible night vision, while at that time all the other champions lost their fights on their full power, if nintendo went out of their way to nerf revalli on his fight with windblight gannon so he could die, if that don't say he was the strongest champion, and would survive on better circonstances, in don't know what do.
@@uchihajunior5648 Well, Urbosa fought Thunderblight Ganon. Considering that Thunder is in his name, we can agree that he was probably more resistant to electricity than most others. So Urbosa's furry was sort of nerfed as well.
I LOVE to watch Urbosa fight!! The way she moves, constantly putting her shield up and pulling it back out completely seamlessly.

I think Urbosa deserves a 9 or 10 in personality. Not only is she extremely intelligent, but she can read people like a book. She sees what's going on between Link and Zelda, and is overall extremely wise. She could probably predict her opponent's battle style with ease.
Yep

@@dalejhunter1 true
Speed to riju
Yesssss! Came here to say the same thing!
They're traits are very different from the original champions so I actually would be interested in seeing how they match up. I would probably give it to either Yunobo or Sidon honestly. Yunobo is the only one to inherit his ancestors signature ability which basically makes him invulnerable, meanwhile Sidon at least still has Hydrokinesis and his hulking frame albeit he can't heal. Teba is incredibly skillful but unlike Revali he can't summon gales meaning he's at the mercy of his environment in terms of being able to fly high into the sky, meaning in most cases he'd have to fight on the opponents terms (albeit he's probably beter at close ranged combat as a result of that llimitation). Same goes for Riju, she depends heavily on the thunder helm to be able to control lightning and Patricia to get her around the place and fight, she's not that skilled in actual traditional combat and is easily the shortest and youngest of the bunch.
Urbosa: shoots lightning at enemy's

I think Urbosa would also be most able to exploit Revali's arrogance and lure him into some move he wouldn't normally make. I feel like Mipha would be too busy trying to stay alive to do the same and Daruk is such a wholesome person he probably wouldn't think to do it.
Daruk feels like he wouldn't fight somebody unless they insulted someone he likes
@@dabi410 daruk wouldn't fight someone unless they refused to eat a rock roast
Revali isn't arrogant but highly insecure. Well at least the Japanese and German revali is. The english version really robbed you guys of one of the most interesting and nuanced characters I have ever seen in zelda.
I mean I feel like revali would just say “ I’m not retarded and here’s 200 bomb arrows btw”
Also not to mention
Revali probably doesnt have infinite arrows
The only thing about Revali's wind being the least useful among the other champions is that it was mentioned in Breath of the Wild that, yes, the Rito could fly but couldn't make their own wind fly. It was also stated in the game that Revali found a way to create his own wind. Therefore, he basically created his own magic.

@@qxtuvoslays That's effectually true, though Mipha's Grace has saved me WAY more often, and is more useful in a pinch (though is admittedly just a glorified fairy).

Agreed, Revali put in much more work than the other champions to gain his champion ability, whilst the other abilities are alluded to be innate or passed down from parent to child.
So basically, based on their Pokémon typing, Urbosa wins.
Daruk would be some mix of two of the following: rock, fire, ground and fighting.this means there is a 1 in 4 chance of Daruk wins in it.

Flying is super effective to electric
Ahmad Rafa its the other way around
It doesn’t really matter. Pokemon types don’t effect this. Overall I think Revali is the better warrior, but fury is just too well suited to dealing with them in a fight
Something I think is impressive about Revali, it is at least implied that the other champions were born with their abilities, haven’t gone lore hunting in botw at all so I can’t say if it was actually confirmed or not, but Revali made Revali’s Gale all on his own with seemingly no outside help from a bloodline or others helping him hone his abilities. He invented his own magic, and then was THAT good at it. I’m not sure if that should be extra points for his magic skill or intellect or both, but something should get bonus points for that I think

I do believe tulin got his powers from the sage, I just don't think revali did.

Mipha would probably win if Urbosa didn’t use her lightning.
@@legomaster2538 Highly doubt it. Her defense and weakness to lightning would make her very wary of Urbosa's magic since she can incorporate electricity through her weapons and body. So with that said, it would be very stupid for her to just run in like no care in the world to try and take her on through this strategy and she knows it. Plus, Urbosa knows how to parry, which although isn't as strong as link's which can parry lynel charges and guardian beams, it can still parry with lots of skill and strength and assuming she can parry, she would also have superior reflexes since she can react as fast as frickin lightning and would easily be enough to block most of mipha's attacks assuming she doesn't try and use her water magic which wouldn't work against since electricity is more potent when there is water around, and with how devastatingly precise her thunder strikes are, it would make quick work of Mipha.

if urbosa had a no magic rule fight with Mipha the spear _Would_ be a bit more of an issue but that would be a personal sparing match for them to improve their fighting styles and not a round robin to the death 'who's the strongest' situation
Can we talk about how Urbosa fights with heels on IN THE SAND!! How are her ankles not completely broken ??
She's a Waifu, that's why
I guess gerudo calf muscles are just far stronger than any human's
Being fly as hell
they're probably as sturdy as steel
The fact Ganon had to send an absolute SWEAT of a blight to defeat Urbosa is a clear sign that she beats all other champions.
Facts! Out of all the blight ganons, thunderblight was the only one that killed me... a lot... Lol
@@DryBonesandSilver I'd heard so much about Thunderblight's boss battle and how hard it was, I walked into that fight overpowered as heck. I was terrified. Had it been my first blight, I would have absolutely gotten bodied. That honor, however, went to Waterblight, because I didn't realize you could use Runes in fights at that point.
Right? Also, Urbosa’s Fury made Calamity Gabon a joke of a final boss!
Ha sole
The thing is link can deflect a death Lazer... *with a pot lid.*
Honestly, I think the biggest thing that Zeltik missed is water's impressive ability to kill momentum. Given the fact that AoC shows she can generate almost a limitless amount of water from seemingly nowhere, there's nothing stopping her from surrounding herself with water and sapping her opponents stamina away by repeatedly forcing them to fight against drag. While this would doubtlessly leave Urbosa's elemental advantage against her unchanged (though Mipha is likely smart enough to catch Urbosa off guard and have her shock herself considering she has little to no experience fighting in/around water), it would render Revali's arrows useless forcing him to approach her and risking him getting soaked, which would severely cripple his flying ability.
Still a great, thought provoking video though!
You made me gain brain cells bro
@@twentytwosticks6531 same lol
@@twentytwosticks6531 Thanks, lol
Lol, if she will use water to defend herself, then Revali can absolutely destroy her with thunder arrows, so it's not really a problem for him

17:34 and on heels! She's fighting on sand and irregular terrain with a pair of fancy d'orsay type heels. I have no idea how is Urbosa not sinking on sand nor tripping over with such a irregular rocky terrain.
Even Link had to get some special foot wearing to properly walk on sand.
Garudo grew up in those conditions, and generally are tough (not goron tough, those guys are quite literally rocks), ganondorf can be used as an example to a degree, but the tri force limits that. Still, she'd of had her entire life to learn how to do that so it's likely she had practiced it
SHE IS A QUEEN
No malice, but I think the heels were a ridiculous design choice for an already-eight-foot-tall sand warrior.
She got used to heels. If she wears normal link shoes she would literally fall over, because her feet is already experienced of atrophy, making her feet down curved so her feet could fit in a heels.
Cuz when you run in heels you gain the ability to have the ultimate friction ans out run a T-Rex

Revali: [offended ostrich face .. you know the one]
Revali is definitely strong, but I think it would’ve been more fair to give him a 6 or lower in that category. (especially considering a 7 is the same score Urbosa got, and she is definitely stronger)
I dunno revali can fly which is already strong then he can carry people on his back ( I don’t think I’ve ever seen him do it but when facing medoh in botw there’s a rito that carries you) and then he can change direction in the air pretty fast which takes muscle and he’s basically same height as urbosa and urbosa is fucken thin compared to him so he literally has more muscles and they’re more put to use then her so he’s probably stronger unless the gerudo are strong because magic or something but otherwise he has more muscle and the muscles he has are more trained so he stronger
An average man is stronger than a pretty strong woman. Urbosa might look strong, but she's not a jacked man, just a skinny woman with some skinny muscles showing. Remember what the UFC women are saying - They might be great fighters in womens UFC, but they dont stand a chance if they were to fight their average guy husbands.

@@aliataya1089 birds have different bones to humans as the guy in the video said they’re hollow but have ligaments and such for stability but that still doesn’t make them anywhere near the sturdiness of mammalian bones so it would be much easier to crush his bone than it would be for a human. which tbh i’ve always thought is a bit of a bizarre evolutionary choice since if a bird was to break a bone in their wing that would render them functionally useless but whatever i’m going off topic LOL

Take this out of context
As much as I am a fan of Revali, I knew there was no way he was winning against Urbosa with the second most overpowered snap in media.

Why would you like revali??
@@maxkarl5283 Ravioli is great. He's the one keeping you on your toes
@@maxkarl5283 bc is sounds like ravioli
I feel like Mipha should get 10 in magic since she can do almost anything with her water, and bring someone back from the dead
Urbosa: A certified SnS main who can shoot lightning from the sky ala Thor, and is also incredibly agile despite heels.
Daruk: Has a damn near impenetrable barrier and, y'know, is a literal boulder.
Mipha: Power to heal others while also holding her own with the trident/spear.
Revali: *i am speed*
Gotta move speed
Lightning McQueen is still faster
Revali: *yo you wanna see some real speed bitch*
Revali: *you wanna see some real speed*
Ravioli gotta be a jerk on top of the dang speed too though.
Mipha is a support character. Her strength is in healing allies and using range to distract and weaken enemies with water while others finish them off.
yeah. she’s much better when working with her allies
I just commented that bruh
Mipha is quite the adorable character! But, Urbosa is my fav!
@@Marriwil too late that is
@@BS-bd4xo yeah I commented it and then saw this comment
We also need to take into account that Urbosa is incredibly agile, even in sand, despite the fact that she wears heels. That is truly something that is near impossible
Something that wasn't mentioned in the revali mipha fight was that a lot of birds can't fly when they are wet and that bomb arrows don't work in the rain/water
Shock arrows do though. 😉 And as is shown in BotW, electricity is the Zora's weakness as they can't even touch those arrows. Mipha would be dead in seconds.
Would he have a basic ability to swim given that His race is a branch off of the Zorra?
@@betterlatethannever4529 I mean they branch from zora but they’re way different and of course he can swim better than a hylian but worse than a zora
Ye but how will revali get wet if he’s really far away and also even if bomb arrows don’t work he could still use other types of arrow since arrows work underwater and in the rain and it’s not like she particularly strong against getting shot in the face so revali still solos
Most birds have a special coating on their feathers to prevent them from being grounded by rain, the exceptions are stuff like owls that sacrifice that coating for stealth
One thing you didn't consider, when revali runs out of arrows he's pretty much screwed in regards to fighting the other 3 champions
I think he would start fighting like Mipa, and Urbosa against duruk, using his talons as he dives down like a hawk.
@@housebluephoenix3904 but then again, Daruk can rain magma balls on him and can slap him, even with a bare fist and knock him out in one hit
Revali: ono I’m outta arrows
All other champions: he he {insert champion weapon here} go brrrr
I would imagine revali would use built-in weapons(talons and swoops)or use items around him.
but he hardly misses sooo it doesn't really matter
I think Mipha's strength has been underestimated slightly. The strength required to swim as fast as she and other zoras can is substantial.
Very true.
Not only the speed but also the fact that she can literally swim up waterfalls would make her ridiculously strong. If he compares Revali to real life birds in terms of strength, you can also compare Mipha to real life fish and you can imagine the strength of a human size fish. Mipha is heavily downplayed in the strength category
Mipha is way younger than the other champion's so i think it's important to mention that too, but she's immensely strong for her age.
Absolutely, I mean, Mipha’s father straight up yeeted a guardian off a cliffface! I wouldn’t be too surprised if mipha could yeet a Moblin in a similar fashion.
@@AAZ-yu5ss wait when did he do that
Another point in favor of Urbosa against Revali: Urbosa has the intelligence and guile to be able to use Revali's arrogance against him
Also one hit of a single thunder would paralyze Revali as a bird touches a lightning cable
*It's just...asinine.*
Revali might be arrogant for sure but he's not that dumb. His battle with link prpves it. And in my view, revali had the upper hand. Link was still on his back while revali is already in position. No matter how fast link is, revali would still be first to hit.
@@stellar1463 well the thing is though, as many have pointed in other talks about this fight and this video:
Zelink gave Revali the benefit of the doubt by having him always keep his distance, which is kind of a given, because of his ability of flight, stay clear, shoot from afar and all that, of course as further cutscenes have shown his arrows are not unlimited.
Now this is were things get interesting, and the reason why most people anonymously agree Link would have ended up winning. Whatever Revali tried before, failed, and quite literally got him sent flying, and it's very likely he tried attacking from a distance and it proved to be ineffective, so he then he tried a different approach, and it was here that Revali made the fatal mistake, of getting in close.
This is where things start getting ridiculous about Link, characters in game and theorists have pointed out, that he has some kind of ability, where his perception of time is significant slowed down, and he even has this ability on Aoc though the game doesn't tell you this, and I'm not talking about flurry rushes.
The point is, it's not a case of Revali being dumb or not, as impressive as Revali's manoeuvre was, Links reaction speed is just significantly faster, hence why he still ended up blocking the arrow at point blank. You also need to remember, Link bested wind blight Ganon, where as Revali failed and died, and he could do this without the master sword in hand.
@@somerandomguy3835 i dunno abt that theory but all i said was in that scene. I never said revali would win. All i saod was he would be first to hit. Link would be superior from the 4 champions. What i'm tryin to point out is that he can best out urbosa. Urbozas fury may have a wide range but it aint that far. And with battle with link revali proved them wrong.
28:40 my favorite thing about this scene is how the fight wouldn’t have ended there, as Revali’s arrow is blocked on the sharp edge of Link’s sword. It beautifully shows how insanely skilled they both are.
Urbosa is the strongest I mean, her instant lighting, amazing agility, and cool personality, stacked on top that she can fight in heels in the desert i mean-
I think the others could potentially also wear a full rubber outfit set or/and shock resistance consumable to mitigate and protect from that damage
@@hnlgd37
Daruk doesn't even need Rubber armor, Gorons NATURALLY resist Lightning without protection anyway, the rubber would just slow him down even more.
I do think that daruk could beat her tho, but that’s just my opinion
daruk wins, cuz no one will hurt that wholesome man

The ‘“Except…” Urbosa snaps her fingers’ moment was so amusing. I’m so sorry Mipha.
I was kinda expecting that. Man, I feel bad for Mipha

@@giratinaslayer and put him CLOSER to the clouds?!?! 🦅 ⚡️ 💀
That would also apply for bird dude... especially since he's only ever in the sky.
I audibly winced when she snapped her fingers
can't forget about Rivali's most powerful magic
infinite bomb arrows, him using regular arrows at all is a mere courtesy
Can we talk about the fact that Revali often uses bomb arrows that deal huge amounts of damage unless it rains? Yeah, in the hot places like Death Mountain they would explode but still
If i remember correctly, bomb arrows will explode before being shot in death mountain, so it would be a disadvantage for revali if he fought in that environment
@@igmoreno3579 I am aware of that. However he could also wear down Daruk or they may battle on a neutral battlefield or in Hebra
I never noticed Thunderblight dodging Urbosa's Fury, that thing is fast as hell. No wonder she lost.
Or when they won
@@Zeldinion They only won because of reinforcements they almost lost even with the backup
Honestly, the blights are moreso a show of how powerful Link is if anything. Even with the help of their descendants, the Champions almost lost to the Blights. However, Link managed to, if only for a brief moment, square off against all four at the same time. And I think it's fair to say that were he only going up against one, he could've beaten them.
@@brycebitetti1402 Obviously he could’ve beaten the Blights on his own- he did so in BOTW.
@@cooperchance7720 He did so against the original Blights. Remember that these are more powerful, element infused Blights that are different from the original timelines' versions.
Something about the real-world bird footage playing while you discuss Revali makes me laugh
Revali is just a very angry duck that someone taught how to use a bow 😆
@@olivewithana5185 I’m pretty sure revali is self taught.
And a duck? *Never insult our dear lord revali*
you mean a ostritch
And also Urbosa would be clever enough to mock Revali and make him mad to put him off his game
We’ve never seen that happen, so assuming that is.....eh
It sounds like something she would do
@@KingMerrDG We do see that she regularly admonishes Revali. If anyone could get under his skin and goad him to drop his guard, it's her.
The fact that she regularly gets on his case for his ego is more than enough to make Revali want to prove her wrong, and coupled with how clever Urbosa is in a fight, she'd pick up on this.
I'd wager she'd call him a coward for staying airborn, and say he's not good enough to face her up close, which would get the better of Revali's fragile ego. Then to prove her point she'd unleash her fury, grounding the winged archer.
Annoyed that his advantage of flight was stripped away by her lightning, he'd probably try to maneuver around her, without much luck. Her shield and parry abilities would quickly deflect and disarm him, with a fatal blow not far behind.
@@kaitoudark1 I doubt this scenario is likely. Revali is a skilled warrior, with an ego yes, but he knows his advantages. Against link, we see him avoid head on contact, and he probably would’ve landed a clean hit of Zelda didn’t stop it. (Though he doesn’t block the attack, revali did hesitate, but I think there’s a 50/50 chances of this working, just because Link is a beast.)
And honestly, the very unlikely situation you described is probably the only way Urbosa wins, depending on how accurate her lightning is.
We saw Revali keep Link on the defensive, though it was his own territory, but his arsenal is much wider.
Really, you can argue about who’s strongest, bust Revali is the most skilled by far, only second to Link skill wise.
Though, I think he stands a chance at beating Link, over the others.
I kinda rule off Mipha off the bat, and the only thing saving Daruk is his strength, but we see Link reflecting Lynel blows with ease(debatable, I guess), so I don’t know how solid that is. I do think Daruk is considerable stronger then a Lynel, but I could see Link parrying it anyways. But I have no doubt that either way, Link wins.
That leaves urbosa and revali.
(I don’t know how this became the champions vs link but ok)
I think Urbosa can probably hang with Link for a long time, but I have no doubt Link is more skilled.
And when it comes to Revali, it’s probably the closest fight, in canon. But with a bow, this is a win for Link, probably. (Revali probably more skilled with a bow, and quicker with wings, but I also don’t see Link letting himself take damage)
But back to the original point, 7/10 Revali beats urbosa.
@@KingMerrDG Well even if Revali was soaring in the air, Urbosa could strike him down even if he switches direction and take that time when he falls to strike him with her moves of the seven. Revali could camp up there for as long as he wants she WILL eventually strike him down, her skill is amazing and once he falled down it's the end for Revali.
I only recently learned the AoC DLC added several scenes involving Revali and Tulin (who had apparently followed Teba through.)
Revali is very skilled, but is probably a teenager- or at least some level of adolescent. He still has his cheek markings; the ones that all the kids have but none of the adults in Rito Village have.
You are right. I personally believe that Revali isn’t even 20 years old, probably around Link and Zelda’s age. In Urbosa’s diary (Champion’s Ballad DLC) she lumps him in with Link, Zelda, and Mipha as “young”, and from Revali’s own diary, he sounds like he doesn’t have a whole lot of life experience, again leading me to believe he’s younger.
Small point I would like to make, I’m pretty sure Mipha is still young for a Zora. That’s why she’s so small, she’s literally still growing. In human years she’s probably 60-80 but that would mean she’s around 15-17 in Zora time. This is why her crush on Link is innocent young love, and not weird.
@@joypink5599 I agree; I firmly believe that Sidon is older than Mipha ever got to be.
Tears of the Kingdom pretty much confirmed Revali for me too. The older Rito children still have the cheek spots, now shaped more like Revali’s. The guy was a teenager, probably with no Teba to try and curb his arrogance.
@@joypink5599 the fact that sidon is older then mipha as mipha died young is depressing (agreeing with your statement)
@@Isthisiropin It really truly is.
can we talk about how urbosa dose all this in high heels
So what she’s the biggest badass out of all the champions
Wearing high heels in a fight are Urbosa way of flexing on her opponents.
I watch this and I was like props to urbosa for doing it all in high heels
It's like shadow with the rings on his arms and what not if she takes them off she's just WAY to good
In heels ON SAND!
Just 2 things. Revali's fights depend HEAVILY on where he is fighting. If it's inside a builing/dungeon/cavern with low ceiling, it's not happening for Revali. It also seems it was considered almost unlimited arrows for Revali. In an open place he can leave a stash wherever he feels like only he can reach, but in closed space, not so much.
Also is Revali's Gale even magic? I believed it was more of a science. Out of all the champions, his magic rank should be the lowest.
Death Mountain would also hold Revali back far more than any other champion as he wouldn't be able to use his bomb arrows in the intense heat without them exploding in his face, likely killing him. Let's give the champions the benefit of they have fireproof potions to keep from burning up in the intense heat, that wouldn't change Revali being put at a huge disadvantage as his main source of offensive being his bomb arrows it taken away from him. He'd be limited to using normal arrows which could also burn up in the intense heat before they reach their mark. Revali's gale may also be a detriment to him here as any fires from his arrows burning up could lead to him fanning their flames making them burn more quickly leaving his stash of arrows dwindling very quickly. I believe Revali's also the only champion with a wooden weapon so it'd also eventually catch fire which would be even worse in a drawn out battle against Daruk or Urbosa waiting for the right moment to strike him with lightning. This would be single handedly the worst place Revali could fight one of the other champions especially Daruk and his tough hide shrugging off his arrows and no bomb arrows to overwhelm his protection. Mipha still loses... sadly.
@@morphstarchangeling8024 also let's not forget feathers burn, if his arrows are on fire then he is also on fire.
Additionally, birds can’t fly if their wings are wet. So Mipha just shoots him with a waterfall and kills him with a trident while he tries to shoot her from the ground... just imagine...
And even if revali was arrogant as f*ck, he ain't dumb. He's actually smart. Why would he actually fight in a space of disadvantage? No matter his cockiness, it ain't proven that he'll be tricked. Remember when he challenged link? Where did he wanted the match? In vah medoh where he had the advantage. And imo no champion can keep up with revalis speed and agility especially in flight mode. No one can reach him and all they'll be seeing are raining down arrows
Funny enough and kinda a spoiler warning, Mipha asks Daruk if she can train fighting with him, and I have a feeling he'd go easy out of pure kindness.
I can see it now.
Daruk, thinking: _well I don’t want to hurt the little lady..._
Mipha: *lands a single blow on Daruk*
Daruk: *falls over dramatically* ah! Ah! You got me! I’m down! You win!
Also funny enough, when you use Mipha in the Daily Drills: Gorons (or whatever it's called) mission, and when you get to fight Daruk, he mentions that he won't go easy, though he doesn't like it
“Train” 😉
@@tylercoon1791 Daruk has big dad energy so this is pretty accurate, I'd say.
@@optillian4182 is describe it more as Fun Uncle energy
Mipha I feel was nerfed here, especially in strength and endurance. It takes a HUGE amount of both to swim that fast and that far. So her strength and speed should be at least a 5. Also, her control over water can wear her opponents down, exhausting or drowning them. Water can even crack rock so she'd have a more even chance against Daruk.
Fallacious. The zora can swim effortlessly, it doesn't take a big amount of strength or endurance for them to perform that action
@@MybeautifulandamazingPrincess Just because it's effortless for them doesn't mean it doesn't take huge amounts of strength.
@@Reihaa It takes strength for someone who isn't a zora, swimming that way is pretty much their special ability. Just like electricity resistance is a Gerudo ability, and heat resistance a goron ability
The zora have the shape of a shark and sharks have a naturally hydrodynamic design, maybe more than any other sea animal with their smooth skin. So it's logical to assume it doesn't take a zora anywhere near the same effort as another species to swim
1 Shock arrow from Revali and she'd be dead.
I mean water can break anything it just take millions of years so bruh and also technically revali can fucken fly for a long time so shouldn’t he be technically right under daruk since he’s like equal length with urbosa and he seems to have more muscle
Revali’s ego is more inflated than Venezuela’s currency.

@@jokermain6665 She is arguably the most intelligent. She knew that disguised hylians were yoga clan members. She has great agility, she kept up with blight ganon the fastest ganon. She has a shield second only to duruks protection. She also has the best offensive with her lighting ability.
well lets face electric is super effective against water and flying
- pokemon jokes
Idk, Daruk surprisingly puts up a solid fight (although she's really just dancing around him taking electrical potshots until he's had enough), and vs Revali she basically has to overwhelm and out-snipe a sniper looping around/above her while it's raining explosives. Overall Revali's arrogance will be turned against him by Urbosa... unless Revali feints an arrogant streak to make Urbosa take advantage of an 'opening' and flips the script.
The fact that his bow is one of the strongest in the game... think of the poundage of pulling that bow back as many times as he does? in life archery contests have a limit of 60 poundage pulls and they pull 100's of times to be able to pull back without shaking. Revali does this in the air, with three arrows. the cutscene where zelda meets revali at the flight range, the english version says "must stay in the eye of the whirlwind." Dude is getting battered by a mini tornado every time he uses his gale. The Revali vs Link cutscene... he didn't intervene until after he got too close and got "info" about the invaders. He also uses battle tactics ALOT in that scene. He tried two times and successfully got Link's shield away, once with his talons, and the other with one of his efficient bomb arrows. The one thing that had a chance of blocking his arrows. He used the smoke screen a few times. The other thing, is he INVENTED his magic. For every other champion their magic could be chocked up to genetics, or an inheritance. Revali MADE his
Bruh finally someone gets it like he can pelt them with arrows and he wins like literally he has so much range and he accuracy he could aim at the feet of urbosa so she can’t block mipha takes time to heal so he can stop her and kill her with a single shock arrow then daruk can have his shield destroyed by bomb arrows
Zeltik: Urbosa's physical strength is second only to Daruk's

I liked when while fighting Daruk, Urbosa snaps her fingers, and a sound effect plays with a black screen.
Worth noting as well, about Urbossa’s agility and speed-she’s able to keep up with and almost outmaneuver Thunderblight while wearing *high heels*

Definitely agree with your rankings, but also want to add this: of all the champions, I feel like Urbosa is the one most likely to manipulate Revali's arrogance to set him up for a mistake.

@@MigueUgartechea Yeah, riju lacks the stupidly broken thunder, meaning that teba can just camp all of them.
Honestly botw zelda/age of calamity Zelda is probably the strongest. She has experience using the sheikah slate, and unlocked her sealing power that was able to hold off Ganon for 100 years and implied that she has the full triforce, as her wish of protecting everyone caused terrako to wake up and and travel through time to create a new timeline. So indirectly Zelda was strong enough and utilize the full triforce to change reality itself.
Let’s be honest most zeldas outside spirit tracks,Botw,Aoc,OoT did jack shit lol. Windwaker and TP Zelda literally only pulled out the bow of light last minute. And honestly probably the smartest one too, as she is actually depicted as wise, tech savvy, and obsessed with research. As opposed to just being a “wise” sage
One point you forgot to mention: Revalis Arrogance
If anyone can tempt him to get into close combat, it would be Urbosa.
He does mention it though. 25:44
I think Revali would know he'd be screwed but I'd love to see mind games between him and Urbosa, using his arrogance to his advantage. Making Urbosa think he's getting reckless or trying to deal a finishing blow only to bait Urbosa into countering to put her in a situation that allows him to deal a sizable hit or 2
Revali is weak to taunts, but he’s not stupid. He’d most likely keep his distance most of the fight, and maybe try to make the finishing blow close range (which he’d most likely do anyway, but since Urbosa taunted him to do it she might still be able to get the read on him).
Revali isn’t arrogant, he’s just overconfident. He won’t fall for a taunt.
Yup
I do agree with this assessment, but I do think that revali had 1 weakness no mentioned. His bow needs arrows, and no matter how strong he is, he can't carry infinite arrows, regular or otherwise
Given how we've never seen him run out despite repeated usage, however many he can carry its enough that it isn't a factor except in extremely prolonged fights.
@@shadenox8164 it should be a factor, he doesn't wear pants or have a quiver, where he keeping all those arrows?
He can just fly away and get some new ones though. 🤷🏼♂️
I mean if he's like Legolas then he's good XD
I mean let’s say he can carry 30 of all types of arrows other than ancient arrows he’d still have 450 arrows cuz of his bow
Don't forget Urbosa always fights in High Heels, even on Sand.
That really shows how powerful she is!
I always forget Abt the high heels strength
Mipha: Ironic. She could save others from dying... but not herself.
nice star wars referance 🤘
I like to think that it’s referencing how kind she is and willing to help people, being selfless
So its the same type of stand as crazy diamond?
I mean... Use her Special ?
She will always be alive in my heart
Do you remember the photo taken after the naming ceremony? Daruk made everyone have a weird face/position ... except Urbosa, who was just as fabulous as ever.
That is her greatest power: style.
I think this video is very accurate, though I just think that Mipha is always a bit underrated. In this scenario of course, her opponents are very strong, but she has the precision of a spearfighter, rivaled only by revali. The long lifespan of the Zora and the preferred weapon they use as shown by sidon wielding spears does truely make her fightingstyle one of a kind. Because of this incredible skill, I think she would be very agile as positioning is one of the most important things when fighting with a weapon that has a longer range, thus I think she could have a chance against daruk, being able to dodge his attacks and defeating him with small attacks here and there, using his slow moves against him. Having incredible stammina because she lives in water, this makes her a master when it comes to playing the long fighting game, thus she would have got more time to strategize
Poor Mipha. Not only does she get killed before she can propose to the man she loves, she gets to see him fall for the woman she gave her life in service of. Then she gets no wins. Girl shoulda sided with Ganon 😂
If Revali's strength as a bird is being taken into account, the muscle strength Mipha needs to rapidly swim up a huge waterfall should also be considered. Mipha and her family clearly have sharklike traits, and sharks are 85% muscle mass. It takes much more power to propel through water than the air, and Mipha swims up a waterfall with so much force she shoots out when she gets to the top. I'm not saying she would be very durable but her strength imo is much much higher
Sharks are hydrodynamic. It doesn't take a lot of power for them to swim
Well yea but even if she’s 85% muscles she’s still a lot smaller than all of the champions other than link so she’s still weaker and also the swimming up waterfalls can be done by anyone with zora armour even a goron
@@aliataya1089 But then that stance shoots itself in the foot. If size is such a factor, then *Link* is inherently weaker than everybody else, too, which we know isn't true. Also, the armor _GRANTS_ that ability to its wearer, but is an innate ability of the Zora Princess. Besides, if Mipha wasn't a strong warrior, she wouldn't have been invited to become a Champion in the first place, nor would King Dorephan have permitted her to swim to her death, just like that.
@@BoyProdigyX I mean link is way fucken weaker than all of them but he still wins like there’s literally not a single soul saying that link is stronger also people are saying that swimming up means that she’s stronger since it takes effort but for a zora it doesn’t since all zora can do it and yes it grants the ability I don’t get the point you’re making you just said the same thing as me also yes mipha is a strong warrior but she’s just shittier than the other also it’s mostly her ability to heal wounds which actually makes her useful other than that she’s basically not that good
The real best part about Age of Calamity is that we now have much more footage of pre-Calamity Hyrule to be used for theories
Mhm
Let’s see....Mipha can heal allies and she’s pretty quick with close range combat. Daruk can protect himself and his attacks are hard hitters. Revali can barely be touched while in the air, and Urbosa can wipe out crowds with a snap of her fingers
39:45 my immediate thought was "Oh no, Mom and Dad are fighting" lol
Is Revali's Gale even magic? It's not like he was gifted with it, he had to practice over and over so I assumed it was more of a science?
I think the magic side of it is the manipulation of wind. Seeing as all of the other champions can wield specific elements (aside from link, who wields the triforce of courage instead) i.e. Daruk has earth/fire, Mipha has water, and Urbosa obviously has Lightning, it would make sense for Revali to be able to manipulate/ bend air and wind. This would also explain his speed and agility in the air relative to other Rito, as well as how he is able to glide so fast for so long without needing to flap his wings as much as one would expect. I believe the part of this ability that he perfected (the part you are calling scientific) is specifically tunneling the wind he can manipulate into an updraft, which we see him perfecting in one of the memories from botw. Him having the ability to basically airbend also explains how holding his wing above the ground in a specific way to make the air around him flow upwards is even possible.
Good question but I think it’s a mix of both, mostly magic however. We were told that Rito’s can only glide very well, they don’t exactly “fly.” And the scene of Revali practicing the Gale, one tiny wing flap creates an updraft which is where I think the magic comes in. Then the science comes in when he has to learn how to keep balance while rocketing upwards.
@@kaitlyn3386 Yeah that makes sense too. But then that doesn't explain how link is able to do it so easily. When Link gains access to Revali's gale he is instantly able to stay within the funnel perfectly fine, which any other theory would lead you to believe took Revali years of practice. Which is why I think the magic part is the manipulation of wind and the skill part is specifically forming it into a funnel. I think when Revali was practicing it he wasn't necessarily practicing staying inside of the funnel, but instead he was practicing making a funnel that was able to keep him inside of it.
@@chefboyardong1008 Remember that Revali is the one who activates the power around Link. Link doesn't use the move, Revali does. That's why Link needs to recharge it and Revali doesn't. Because Revali is using great strength and magic to use it around Link, who could be all the way across Hyrule.
@@chefboyardong1008 SuperMario is correct, it’s not Link summoning the updraft. When you use it Revali’s spirit flies around Link and forms the updraft. And like SuperMario said, it explains why it has to recharge.
urbosa single handly won this, based on the fact that she’s wearing high heels in the desert

@@popsicIes I agree
@Pupsicle what about if the real Gerudo king was kidnapped and Ganondorf took his place, but Link manages to find him somehow and the king begs him to help him take back what’s rightfully his.
I think we all saw that coming, haha. Especially after I saw Urbosa's busted stats. I gotta say, this also speaks volumes about how terrifyingly powerful Ganondorf was. The man was likely trained in the same Gerudo martial arts as Urbosa, but also has the greater physical strength that comes with being a male Gerudo, had access to dark magic, *and* wielded the power of Demise's hatred.
*Annnnd* that in turn speaks volumes on *Link's* strength, who bodied him throughout almost every timeline and reincarnation. 😅

I think you forgot to add Revali's infinite ammo cheat to his magic stat! If he were limited to one quiver of arrows, Daruk would probably stand a much greater chance.
Even still, whats daruk gonna do? Lol revali could just fly away and grab more arrows haha
@@skaionex If you count running away as a win, then Mipha beats everyone but Urbosa. Daruk can't chase her down, and Revali can't really shoot someone that teleports.
Very true. I considered that. Bomb arrows are his best bet, but he’d eventually run out. I mean they’re mad expensive, how many could he possibly afford?
And I think if there were any champion that Revali would get cocky against, it’d be Daruk. He’s big, comes across as gullible and less intelligent, and clearly has no way of damaging Revali in the air. That would certainly tempt him to taunt and test Daruk, and could eventually result in him taking a huge hit.
Overall, I agree that Revali would win more often, but I don’t think it’d be every time.
To be fair, flapping your wings to create an updraft isn't worthy of an 8 "magic ability" by itself.
Daruke can throw magma rocks but nope definitely no ranged attack to hit a bird here
I think you lowballed Urbosa and highballed Revali in certain stats, but since the outcome is the same it doesn't matter too much

Ok, *sometimes* Revali is as tall as Urbosa. Other times, he's Link's height. In AoC, he's almost exclusively the latter. He bounces around in BotW.
That is confusing
he bends down / squats if im correct
im probably not but i'm pretty sure he does in a few of the cut scenes.
In a couple AoC scenes, Revali is shorter than Link, in some shots he's taller than Link, and in some they're equal.
It probably just the camera and perspective works that made him sometimes taller and shorter. If you put Link, Urbosa and Ravioli together in a playable section, you'll see that Link is shorter than Ravioli, and Ravioli is shorter than Urbosa
Also, Urbosa is shorter than average Gerudo
all the champions except Daruk are pretty short compared to their people
A bit late, but for the curious, Revali is extremely less rude in the Japanese language. He actually recognises Link's strength and does not hesitate much in saying so. Sure, he is still confident in his skill, but he also admitted when he was defeated by the blight, instead of saying that he did not taken his opponent seriously.
Why did the US release make him more cocky exactly?
@@Dovah_Slayer Cocky was definitely the wrong word. I changed it to rude.

@@adventureoflinkmk2 dude i did not watch the vid yet and you spoiled but tbh i am suprised i thought it would be daruk
I feel you underestimated mipha a lot, have you seen what happens to proyectiles when launched through water? The momentum Is lost in an instant. Mipha could easily surround herself un water to stop Amy arrow. Also bomb arrows and fire arrows would not work being wet
This comment deserves more likes.
True, I feel like she'd have a good chance against revali, because she can get high through waterfalls, but its hard to tell.
Urbosa would fry revali and daruk couldn't touch revali unless he was in a cavern and daruk could cause rumbles of rocks
are we going by hyrule warriors logic? because im pretty sure she cant just summon water at will. she'd only win if they were in a water environment like a deep lake/sea
ehhh, bowfishing is a thing. yes, revali's bomb arrows will be instantly put out but regular arrows could still get her. now what she could do is summon a fiant water tornado to get revali drenched so he can be brought down out of the sky. then she would win
I agree she could definitely mitigate Revali's dmg, I don't think it's enough to change the outcome.
Overwhelming aerial supremacy is... well, overwhelming .
I feel like everyone underestimates Mipha's fighting abilities. Mipha is INCREDIBLY strong, and I don't know why people say that she is not.
Yh bro the king him self chose her as the Zoras champion, for crying out loud.
I agree she is very strong but she is just not that strong compared to the other champions ( excluding link ) like Zeltik said the lightning from Urbosa is just not fair for Mipha and if Revali wether or not with shock arrows will kill her and Daruk would overwhelm her its just facts but she is still very powerful.
@Lady Mercy I also think people highly underrate Mipha's physicality. Somehow, Revali was given higher physical stats than her when all he did was attack Link by using the momentum of falling down from the sky, and instead of flying back link just got pushed back a little and shrugged it off.
Meanwhile, when Link was fighting all 4 Champion Hollows, Mipha's Hollow was straight up able to overpower Link and push him back with her trident as well as break his sword in the process.
That's not even taking into account the superhuman levels of strength that would be needed by the Zora to pull off most of their swimming feats (and it's stated that even for a Zora, Mipha is a first-rate swimmer).
And it's not like she's a glass canon either. Yes, she's very weak to electricity. So much so that she can't even defeat the Lynel of Ploymus mountain alone but she still has some good durability too. In her Champion's ballad cutscene, we see her slide down the waterfall and jump down into the water from quite high . Most normal people who would have jumped from that high into the water would have gotten most of their bones fractured. Yet Mipha was perfectly fine when landing in the water.
Overall, I think Revali should have been given the lowest physical stats. Especially when you compare all the Champion's strength to Link. Urbosa was able to block Sooga's sword attack for longer than Link, Mipha's hollow straight up pushed Link back and Daruk is obviously stronger than Link. Meanwhile Revali barely pushed Link despite attacking him by falling from the sky.
@@bastienlafleur5838 EXACTLY. I couldn't agree with your points more
@@heroofangst Also, I agree with your point about how everybody underestimates Mipha's fighting abilities.
However. I think Age of Calamity did a disservice to her fighting abilities.
For exemple, unlike with the other Champions who we got to see fight their Ganon blights, they don't show us Mipha fight with Waterblight. We only get to see her exhausted before she gets saved by Sidon.
There's also a cutscene where an electric Bokoblin was about to attack baby Sidon and Mipha was watching helplessly until grown Sidon came to save baby Sidon. I found this cutscene to be very dumb because:
1. Why didn't Mipha have her trident on her? It felt very convenient that at that specific moment, her trident was nowhere to be seen.
2. There were other Zora soldiers around and somehow, none of them heard Mipha scream for Sidon, or saw the giant electric Bokoblin roaming in the fort or saw the other Zora soldiers fighting monsters outside of the fort.
3. Mipha watching helplessly baby Sidon as he's about to be attacked by the electric moblin feels extremely out of character. She's said and shown multiple times that she was ready to die in combat for the people she loves.
Honestly, this entire scene felt really dumb and just like some PIS (plot induced stupidity) to give Sidon a forced cool moment. And it sucks because I think it would have been nice if we could have seen Mipha save baby Sidon from danger by herself for once.
And to add more, in the mission where we recruit Mipha, when fighting the Lynel to save baby Sidon, some of Mipha's dialogue shows us that she's exhausted. How could she even be exhausted fighting a single red-maned Lynel?! In Breath of the Wild, it's stated she could single handedly defeat 3 Guardian Skywatchers and 1 Guardian Turret during her Champion trial but in age of calamity, despite literally having help from Link (who we know could single handedly take the beast down easily) she's exhausted from fighting a single red-maned Lynel?! Yeah, it's kind of doesn't make sense to me. She can take down multiple flying guardians but a single Lynel pushes her to her limits? Yes the Lynel does have electric arrows and when electric arrows hit water, they turn into a large sphere of electricity making it harder to dodge them but there was no water on the ground when Link and Mipha were fighting the Lynel so Mipha should have been able to dodge the arrows. And clearly the arrows didn't hit her because otherwise she would have probably been knocked out, not exhausted. So why would she be exhausted?
Overall, Age of Calamity doesn't portray her as a very good fighter compared to the other Champions (meanwhile statements from Breath of the wild would make you think the complete opposite). She always needed to be saved or had help. That's not taking into account the fact that they didn't give her a single fight scene.
if you had Mipha and Urbosa go against Revali and Daruk, it would be interesting, since those pairings would probably be the most balanced and have each side get the most out of each other's abilities. Daruk would be able to make up for Revali's close combat weakness by challenging anyone in direct combat while Revali sets up for unguarded ranged attacks, as well as being very good at protecting Revali as well as positioning and zoning the opponent with his lava pillars, and Revali being able to help maneuver Daruk, such as using Revali's gale while Daruk rolls up to either give him height advantage to roll down onto someone, launch him into an opponent, or possibly even let him drop onto someone, all while using his protect spell. Mipha and Urbosa would also be really good, as Mipha could heal attacks from Revali and Daruk, flank opponents with her spear while Urbosa can take on even multiple opponents at once by having both a sword and a shield which she can practically use interchangeably (as well as being able to stun an opponent), being more than fast, bulky, and equipped enough to defend Mipha from any direct combat, and Mipha being able to straight up boost the power of Urbosa's Fury both in it's accuracy and damage by having control over water, negating any resistance that Daruk or Revali would have to it. I feel like Mipha and Urbosa would probably win, since Urbosa would greatly benefit from being healed and having her best attack, already the best attack any of them have, buffed by a lot, and Mipha's weakness in combat being covered by Urbosa's great speed and reaction time as well as her defensive capabilities, making trying to attack Mipha would result in being damaged yourself and letting Mipha simply heal your attacks against herself and Urbosa, and flank you with a sharp stabby hurty spear on top of it. Being able to move fast, attack and defend at the same time, and have an on demand any range kill switch on top of an even more mobile supporter who heals all attacks you don't block and makes your on demand any range kill switch more deadly and reliable would make Urbosa even more overwhelming, even with Revali and Daruk's great synergy.
I think Mipha could do a lot more than just heal Urbosa and flank. One thing I think Zeltik missed is that Mipha could create giant water geysers in her moveset in AoC, so I think she could help get to Revali and knock him out of the sky (or at least catch him off guard) while he's most likely trying to take down Urbosa. Urbosa would most likely be fighting Daruk, knowing that Mipha could probably handle herself, only ever retreating for healing or to help Mipha if she does start struggling. Don't get me wrong, Urbosa is definitely the MVP in that team, but I just think Mipha could help a lot more than you said.
@@cloverkalimba3368 If Mipha caught him off guard he might not have enough time to react. But yeah, fair enough.
I mean I think that daruk by himself is second place and could beat urbosa and mipha by himself since they can’t damage him with they’re weaponry and he can breathe underwater and urbosa’s lightning can’t hurt him (he is rocks) so honestly adding on revali (first place) would just be overkill

Great video! Just a little thing I noticed is that you mention that it seems that gorons can breathe underwater because of the one in twilight princess, but there are no air bubbles coming from his mouth and he has no visible gills or anything, which would instead suggest that instead of breathing underwater, they don't breathe at all which just adds another thing to the list of questions as to how gorons work but ok
The fact that they don't breathe also says something about their stamina. For better or for worse? I don't know, I'm not a geologist.

24:51 when diving, link is still faster when doing a flurry rush
Think about it.
Urbosa can use her thunder ability to take down two members. Because the zora are vulnerable to electric attacks, and ritos are well… in the sky. So unless revali can melee attack, urbosa takes down both revali and mipha.
One thing that struck me about Mipha's grace is the *damage* it inflicts. Combine this with the hand gesture and it makes me wonder - is she pulling health from her enemies in AoC?
She also creates a water barrier which technically explodes and does damage
I think you forgot to mention one of Revali's biggest weaknesses against Urbosa. His arrogance. He believes that he is the strongest champion of them all; so much so that he considers Link unnecessary to stop the Calamity. This would work against him when fighting Urbosa, who is a competent leader of her people, and a skilled fighter who be able to read her opponent's moves to predict their actions. Revali would most likely underestimate Urbosa and leave himself open to a counterattack. Moreover, Revali's pride would never allow him to admit that he is in a bad position and He is a would capitalize on that.
All in all, Revali is skilled to be sure, but his Pride and arrogance just can't match up to Urbosa's honed mentality as a warrior and as a leader.
Like n 70
Revali is arrogant. But also smart he might not underestimate her.
"Urbosa wins" was that not expected? Shes a red-haired amazon with lightning magic
I actually expected Revali to do better. Mipha too
Yes but also big rock boy
I was just coming here to see Urbosa win. Because obviously, she’s the baddest of them all. OBVIOUSLY.
Well while Urbosa has lightning magic,it seems to have a limited range. If Revali stays out of the range,or if ancient arrows existed back then,he would just arrow spam urbosa
ayo spoilers dud whats the point of me watching the video now hmph
I think Mipha's strength stat is very underestimated. Why? Even having a body shaped for swimming, you would have to be very strong to move through water in speeds like Zoras do.
Not only that she swims upwards waterfalls. That's gravity plus extra resistance. Let's give her some credit, she is FIT!
I mean as long as you have the zora armour you can swim up waterfalls even a goron so the waterfall thing doesn’t really count
@@aliataya1089 I mean you might be right about this if you take into account the armour, but if you're considering armours then Mipha is even more powerful. Why? Because she basically just have to put the rubber armour and bam! No weaknesses anymore. And with this, we know Mipha is faster, controls water ( which can slow down their attacks and defense reflexes) so Mipha would be the strongest of them all
@@Brigid_Spirit nah I’m saying literally anyone can climb up waterfalls as long as they have the armour so I’m just saying that it’s not that big of a feat of strength also arrows can just fucken pierce water so revali solos her
@@aliataya1089 Well, I don't think it's that easy to climb an waterfall yk? It's just like the rubber armour the Zora armour grants you some sort of magic that enhances your strength in order to climb it. Otherwise no one except Mipha can do this, which shows that even if she might not be as strong as Daruk she is still freaking strong if we don't count her electric weakness.
@@aliataya1089 And also about arrows piercing water, that's not true. Arrows are shot in air with a strength that eventually weakens depending on the distance because of the gravity. However if arrows can be thrown that fast and that far it's because the resistance of the air against it is not as important as the resistance of water. So even if an arrow can be thrown in water, it doesn't mean it can reach Mipha in a huge amount of water and if it reaches her, the strength of the impact will be considerably reduced.
Gosh darn do I just love the BOTW Champions. What a great group of characters

I dunno revali can go out of her range whilst still being in his range and raining down bombs arrow that he could aim at her feet so they explode under her so she has 0% chance of blocking and even so her shield has limited health
@@aliataya1089 And he can fly away at any given moment... watching this again I feel like Revali and Urbosa are tied, maybe, just because of Revali being, well, a bird.

I actually want to point out Zeltik that in the cutscene you can hear the klink of the metal from the arrow coliding with metal and considering the position Link was in at that moment, I dont think Zelda stopped the fight. I'm fairly positive Revali let loose that headshot he had lined up and Link deflected the arrow with his sword.
I had the same thought. Link was already mid swing and Revali isn't the kind of person to be ordered out of a fight that easily so I don't doubt he would have loosed that arrow. I would have been very interested to see how the rest of that fight would have gone
If you watch the cutscene though, the arrow flies up at an angle past link, it seems revali just slightly adjusted his aim before he let his arrow fly. The arrow was already flying at the adjusted angle before link even turned around, he wouldnt have had time to deflect it.
@@RGMtz99 it wasn't already flying when link turned around tho. You can see Revali has the arrow pointed right at link's head as he is flying over him and in the time it takes to pull it back and for him to pause to say "But I'm better" in that split second you can see link turns his head and is already swinging his sword almost in front of the arrow when Zelda yells "Stop! Please!" And then you hear metal clanging on metal as the arrow flies directly upwards. Meaning there's only two possible ways the interaction could have gone. Either A, Revali shot directly at Link's head but link deflected it with his sword, or B, Revali turned and fired the arrow at link's shoulder plate causing it to bounce off his armor. Seeing as we can see the exact moment before the arrow is fired and Revali hasn't turned at all, it's safe to assume the former happened in this scenario
@@RGMtz99 I actually just rewatched it frame by frame and while yes, the arrow is technically turned while link hasn't moved his sword there yet, you can see a white clash just in front if the bow, far from where link's armor should be. So, either Link was intended to deflect the arrow and the timing is an error in the animation, or some outside interference saved link from the arrow
@@chefboyardong1008 Yeah i was paying more attention to the scene after revali says "but im better" where link is facing away from revali. But the scene before shows link clearly already facing revali. As it changed their positions between the two scenes that were supposed to have occured one after the other i do agree with you that it might have just been an error in the animation.
