I’m leaving a like so I can come back to this later. Play through myself I was thinking about making a video myself. He seems really powerful from where I am In the Game.
I wanna add something. At the end of BotW and the very beginning of TotK, Link has 30 hearts but at the end of TotK you can have a maximum of 40 hearts which also indicates that Link by the end of the game is a good chunk stronger than his previous strongest self from BotW
Not to mention that when getting the Master Sword in totk, you need stamina instead of hearts, meaning thar link is strong enough to wield the master sword from the get go.
@@moy9948Well he already proved himself in BOTW. The only reason it takes stamina this time is due to the Light Dragon trying to get Link off, not the sword itself resisting.
Flurry Rush is most definitely canon. Apart from the Ganondorf fight where both fighters flurry rushed each other. But there are logs where it’s implied it's an ability Link (or exceptionally skilled swordsmen) possesses where he can focus and react to incoming attacks in slow motion, while he moves at normal speeds. Definitely some supernatural shit going on but certainly canon.
I think that ganondorf has just reached a level of power so high he can do it , he is already a skilled fighter and the tear allows him to also dodge, but also he doesn't flurry rush only dodges links attack
@@tobytragen4363 no flurry rush is the window of attack. He just chooses not to input multiple strikes because that would be broken to fight against considering you don’t have I-frames.
@@Auvisome let me spin that a bit, maybe he doesn’t attack multiple times because he’s just TOO BIG! Think about it for a second, he’s huge, perhaps for him attacking multiple times on such a small target would be a waste of energy and offers too many chances for Link to Flurryrush back, attacking once does huge Permanent damage (during the fight) and leaves the tiniest moment of retaliation. But Link, Link is so small yet so PACKED with power, he is nimble yet also powerful enough to use and master any weapon he’s handed.
The fact that Ganondorf was able to shatter the Master Sword like glass and make BOTW Link look like a joke as just a sealed, fresh Thriller zombie is crazy.
@@CRISIS_COMICSI wanna add something. When you read Mipha’s diary, it says “One of them was a Hylian child of ONLY ABOUT FOUR years of age. His name was Link. One thing that surely sets him apart is his swordsmanship, which I hear is exceptional. He has even bested adults.” So he was actually younger if the diary is true.
The Yiga are also interesting because we see that they train constantly and value strenght and combat prowess. They terrorize skilled warriors and are a legitimate threat. But to Link they just seem like a joke. Hardly even a threat at all. Because that's what they are compared to him.
(TotK spoiler) You can literally infiltrate them and complete their Blademaster Exam and their combat training, where Link is the first Yiga to beat 9 other Yiga in training. They really are nothing to him.
My favorite power scaling feat is the fact that there's weapon durability at all. Link swings every weapon so hard they are all like glass in his hands when in any other persons hands they would have lasted years. If you read weapon descriptions lynel bows would be impossible for any person to use because of how much strength you would need to pull the string and link does it like it's nothing
I personally think Botw/Totk Link is canonically the strongest Link *IF* excusing godly armaments and weapons (Fierce Deity Mask and the Triforce). The feats this Link is capable of far exceed what any other Link in the past is physically capable of without retaining the power of a god.

I just wish that the Zelda games would advanced the combat to be more appropriate in showcasing Link’s abilities in combat. Dude is not just quick, he literally slashes enemies 8 times during dodge reactions. Just make it so combat is more like Sekiro in his movement and mobility, etc
I like how you picture the Master Sword, not as a tool that empowers the wielder but as a weapon that needs a strong wielder to be as strong as it is. Could also be interpreted as the Master Sword being the only sword that can compare to Links power. Just like how Mjolnir is to Thor in Records of Ragnarok.
Link also has impressive arm/shoulder/deltoid strength and durability: He can parry a Lynel charging directly at him at top speed, and it doesn't just deflect the beast, it completely halts its momentum! A Lynel is likely as heavy if not heavier than a horse, and I'd imagine its charge speed is close to 40-50 mph if not faster. That would shatter the bones of any regular human
Heavier than a horse my ass,those things are the toughest monsters in hyrule,they are massive,they are RIPPED,and most importantly they have a cool beard. Not to mention the things they carry and they can carry multiple
Just remember that Link would have to to put out a similar amount of energy released from a rocket engine to parry a lynel charge slam in slow motion. Also. In theory, Link can go an infinite height up with machines and glitches to pass the height barrier and slam down from that height and survive with Mipha's grace. He can also just freeze time and eat a whole meal in less than a second. Another factor is that he can parry lightning.
I'd like to note, Ganon in ToTK casually pulls the moon *much* closer to the planet than in BOTW, and the timeframe doesn't rely on gameplay, as the cutscene has it transpire in a much shorter amount of time. Also, although I don't believe guardian lasers are SOL, in TotK, light puzzles with beams of light that travel light speed in game, slow down in flurry mode.
This was really good and very informative of the Hero of Wild's power level! Though, there were 2 details that I noticed weren't mentioned in the video and I want to know your thoughts on them. The first is that, in Breath of the Wild, Link's whole purpose of going after the Shrines was to regain his old level of power that was lost while he was healing within the Shrine of Resurrection, so at the beginning of Tears of the Kingdom, wouldn't that mean that the weakened Ganondorf practically one shot a prime (physically at least due to loosing the Champion abilities) Hero of the Wild, who potentially defeated Calamity Ganon without his original level of physical power from 100 years ago, with only the mumified male Gerudo's Malice, prior to Link regaining his strength once again and growing stronger throughout the story? The other thing was that I'm surprised that you hadn't brought up the Master Sword being broken by weakened Ganondorf as easily as it was, as that is a feat that no other incarnation of the Demon King could accomplish, from the original evil in Demise when he was amped by some of Hylia's/Zelda's magic, the Gerudo Thief during Ocarina of Time to Yuga within the fallen timeline, despite the sorcerer possessing the body of the fallen timeline's Ganon, amped by the magic of Zelda and Hilda and possessing the fallen timeline's Triforce pieces of Wisdom and Power on top of each other.
Yes, Ganondorf from TotK is >>> Calamity Ganon; however the Master Sword in BotW and TotK is likely weaker than in most other titles as it lacks any blessings from Sages until Dragon Zelda amps it. The Encyclopedia notes that the MS' power requires fairies, sages, or Goddesses to maintain it's strength. Nothing in BotW or TotK are the strongest nor most powerful versions seen in the rest of the series.
@@CRISIS_COMICS alright then, and correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it confirmed that Breath of the Wild was so far into the timeline that all game events, no matter which of the 3 timelines they took place in, all happened at some point? So wouldn’t that mean that every buff the Master Sword received should be applied to the Master Sword weakened Ganondorf broke? I’m not saying that it was experiencing all of these increases in power at full force, as time would cause them to whither to some extent at least, but shouldn’t it still be relative to a standard powered Master Sword throughout each game it appeared in when it was initially broken in Tears of the Kingdom, such as the Twilight Princess or Ocarina of Time eras of the weapon as an example?
@@la7402 No, because there's a massive gap of over 10,000 years between BotW and any other game. When the Master Sword was amped in ALttP it reverted back to it's standard form by the time of ALBW for example, and that's a much smaller gap. Plus in Wind Waker it had lost it's power completely due to no Sages having amped it since OoT.
@@CRISIS_COMICS Oh! I just remembered something and I actually want to hear your thoughts on it since you brought up Wind Waker. Since Wind Waker Ganondorf is just an older version of his Ocarina of Time version, and we know that he recognised the Master Sword as a threat and thus weakened it by killing 2 Sages before the Hero of the Wind found it, wouldn't that mean he may have considered even the weakened version unbreakable to his own strength, despite his possession of the Triforce of Power from that era? Simply because I imagine someone as smart as Ganondorf, especially a version that has witnessed the power of that sword in the past like the Wind Waker version had, would attempt to break it if he even thought it possible. And yet, he settled for weakening it by killing 2 sages and didn't bother with the idea when he bested the Hero of the Wind in their first encounter, when the Master Sword still lacked its full power.
So this guy's pretty strong. Now imagine a hypothetical entity that combines all the abilities and arsenals of *every single Link from across the series.* We're talking a warrior so powerful, even the Doom Slayer is bringing his A-game.
@@Goose_was_taken Well I mean they do the same sorta thing so imagine Link *teaming up* with Doom Slayer And then cut to Satan himself crapping his pants
This is why I think he can take on Cloud Strife now. I was never a fan of how Death Battle lowballed link in his rematch. With Tears of the Kingdom Link’s time wielding abilities (similar to Phantom Hourglass’s time stop and stasis, and recall) Cloud cannot kill link. LET ALONE CUT THE TRIFORCE
I wasn't a fan on how they gave botw Link abilities and tools from the other Zelda games, like link has so many tools in abilities from breath of the wild that he could have used against cloud but instead they chose not to use any of them?
Here's the thing, hero of wild and hero of time links can both kick clouds ass. Hero of time just needs the fierce deity mask, Nayru's love and chateau romani.
8:24 The secret stones amplify powere that the user have, not a give a set power connected to the stone. The one that Zelda has, as an example, was Rauru's, wich amplified his light powers, whereas Zelda's amplify her time powers. Following that logic, and other Ganondorf's backgrounds, is easy to assume that the Gloom was a natural power of Ganondorf that was amplified by the secret. Also, I've read somewhere that the inscription in Ganondorf's secret stone looks like the japanese word for death, and that the other secret stones were similar to the powers of the other sages and Rauru. Don't know if it's true but if it is than it's pretty cool.
I’ll add one thing, it’s physically impossible to react to laser beams. The light doesn’t hit your eye until the laser hits you. Yet, Link does it anyways lmao
Unlike the previous games link can just go to Ganondorf with a stick a f stick and beat him without help Oh and he can do it without armor or the zonai arm/shika slate
Personally in terms of combat feats and prowess TOTK Link is an absolute beast. I would say all past Links could gang up and attack him and this Link would still beat them all.
@@Reallyjoyboyfr -Beats an entire army of monsters with Lynels alone with just a scratch. -Fends off an entire fleet of Guardians which can shoot light speed lasers. -Parrys a giant boulder with just one hand. -Beats Ganondorf (which is arguably the strongest Ganondorf ever) alone which all the other champions lost against. Others Links are strong but that's with their abilities boosted with items and equipment. In terms of raw strength and skill TOTK Link is unbeatable.
@@bowserfierykoopaking4235 thats only with the giants and fierce deity masks, hell totk link would probably defeat mm link before he can put on any mask. mm link is only the strongest due to his arsenal, while many other links are better overall like totk link.
I never knew Link was such a beast. The never explicitly show off any over the top insane feats, in-game like they do with Bayonetta of even Kirby so I just never knew.
I’m just gonna mention that inventory too. The fact that he can carry up to 251 unique materials, and each one he can hold 999 of, not to mention the solid steel weapons, shields, and bows that he can carry. And this is all while still being capable of moving at light speed, and casually jogging around hyrule
was just about to comment this, holding the amount of parts that he does with it being entirely unaffecting him is crazy, he can literally pick up every loose item on the continent of Hyrule.
Really like your Legend of Zelda videos. I was wondering what you'd think about scaling Kirby, as I think he's another slept on and underrated Nintendo powerhouse.
Question. Are you comparing links, raw physical strength, against magic? Just beacouse the way you described how link stands up against a wizzrobe confused me……
His magic weapons would scale above Wizzrobe's staff. Link also has magic empowering his physicality via Great Fairy buffs so it's easily transferable.
Where does this version of Link rank among the others in terms of strength? Are the Hero of Time and Twilight still the top 2 strongest incarnations of Link?
I'd say they still are because they have more powerful equipments. But there is a good argument to make that physically / in terms of skills, thus is the best link
How was link holding his own against the four age of calamity blights not talked about lol. Those blights are heaps stronger then the ones seen in breath of the wild.
Personally I think this version of link could potentially be on par with kratos in terms of strength if it wasn't for the fact that he's in an E rated game, he's held back so to the fact that he can't be more violent and show what he can really do.
Just imagine Totk/Botw Link with all his powers (zonai and sheikah runes and champion’s and sage’s powers) with the fierce deity mask (which he does get in both botw and totk)
I think aome of this is a bit out of proportion, but link is certainly very powerful and skilled. The master sword is imvued with hylias light and the 3 goddesses blessings so it acts as a conduit for their power against ganon. I dont think link can actually profuce 2 megatons of force as he does not directly face the beasts, but ibstead goes inside them and fixes them/frees them. Nobody is actually directly using that force it is merely their magic that does thaf
Why is link being able to produce 2 megatons of force so hard for you to believe? After all their are characters that have done crazy things in other games that have done crazy feats Kirby can crack a planet in and cloud can blow up a planets yet Link being that strong you do believe?
Ooo not to mention a rumor i heard that totk ganondorf was so powerful that not even his body could hold it in a sense. Like when he turns into the demon dragon there are these cysts all over his body that leaks his gloom whenever link strikes it down and ppl were saying that his power was too powerful that it was causing leaks all over his body.
11:29 Considering that the Light Force is a source of infinite energy that’s found in all things, that each and every Zelda possesses even without the Triforce or a piece of the Triforce. That would mean that the Light Force came from and was created by Hylia herself. Since Demise nearly killed her but Hylia was still clever enough to seal him away, that would mean he would possess infinite power himself. If not being in possession of succeeding the bounds of infinite power, due to Demise nearly scoring a win against Hylia herself. Since Demise already possesses infinite power (if not more) due to him rivaling and nearly killing Hylia, along with creating a hyperspace (subspace in Japanese which is a synonym for hyperspace). Demise would definitely and perhaps be easily above a Universal level of power. Great job Crisis.
I feel it worthwhile to note that in botw Link doesn't even need the master sword (or any sword, I've done bows only, it works) to beat ganon, so saying it was the sword's power can't even word in that instance.
True but all I was saying is that he possesses the strength to damage him with more than just the sword. And I wasn't saying it so as to downplay the strength of the master sword, only to bring to point the power he has along with it.
@@CRISIS_COMICSbut In totk you NEED the master sword to beat Ganon you have to pull it before you beat him no matter what so wouldn’t being able to beat ganon without it in the same universe be canon? Or atleast enough to prove calamity ganon doesn’t need the to be killed by the sword.
In TOTK it's conan that link never got the master sword until after defeating calamity Ganon I don't know why but that's what the memories say in TOTK.
Crisis I’m abt to finish my 4th and final area. Once that happens would u recommend taking a break and just doing shrines to gain more power before what comes next
Sora has the power of heart, dreams, and imagination (and borrowed powers of light and wind). Pit had lended powers from literal gods. Shulk can forsee and rewrite reality. Cloud…well, we need to see what he gets in FF7R but as of right now he’s a magic swordsman with some potent magic and materia combos but far lower than any of the others here.
While is non-canon because of smash bros, Link in ssb4’s palutena trailer (this is the hero of twilight as shown in design and similar claw shots) was shown throwing pit around during their battle. This is also a pit after kid Icarus uprising who fought and won against the chaos kin who created their own dimension
Nonono. The Master Sword had to have spent multiple *millenia* being charged by Zelda's power. In botw, it's stated that Calamity Ganon appears once every 10,000 year and did back when the divine beasts were first construction. But that event wasn't the first appearance of Calamity Ganon, it couldn't have been given that the Divine beasts were constructed specifically to counter it, and they imply he's appeared multiple times. At minimum, he appeared 3 times after the founding of hyrule and sealing of the demon king. That means Zelda who transformed shortly after the found of Hyrule was charging the master sword, at minimum, for 30,000 years. That's significantly longer than the entirety of human history. It is juiced in TOTK.
Yes. The Master Sword is the absolute strongest in TotK, only the following timelines or the same timeline but different game COULD be stronger than it is right now.
you missed a bit, the ending of totk implies that calamity ganon is but a fraction of ganondorf himselves power seeping out of hyrule castle while he is imprisoned, and link cooks ganondorf on a hot plate at the end of the game. aswell, if link had a secret stone (which goes far above quadrupling one’s power, evidenced by ganondorf), link would be able to destroy quite possibly any foe save for like arceus.
@@CRISIS_COMICS Hey Crisis Loved your video and all but How can HoT beat a master of combat like HotW? Because from my point of view HoT aren't landing a hit on HotW while he perfect parrying and furry rushing whatever is thrown at him.

@@RubenRyb66 dude… it’s not the job of the defender to prove that something is false, it’s the job of the accuser to prove that it’s true. And if you really want proof that his arms wouldn’t get ripped off, Link can go from falling at terminal velocity, to almost a complete stop by pulling out the paraglider. All of that force goes to his arms which, if they’re as weak as you seem to think, would get torn off
Really? I thought since Ganandof casually breaking the master sword some thing then not even Ocarina of Time Ganandof could do and then TOTK Link later defeating him three times put him as the strongest. Is the gap between those Links that big?

@@CRISIS_COMICS alright then, and correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t it confirmed that Breath of the Wild was so far into the timeline that all game events, no matter which of the 3 timelines they took place in, all happened at some point? So wouldn’t that mean that every buff the Master Sword received should be applied to the Master Sword weakened Ganondorf broke? I’m not saying that it was experiencing all of these increases in power at full force, as time would cause them to whither to some extent at least, but shouldn’t it still be relative to a standard powered Master Sword throughout each game it appeared in when it was initially broken in Tears of the Kingdom, such as the Twilight Princess or Ocarina of Time eras of the weapon as an example?
@@la7402 No, because there's a massive gap of over 10,000 years between BotW and any other game. When the Master Sword was amped in ALttP it reverted back to it's standard form by the time of ALBW for example, and that's a much smaller gap. Plus in Wind Waker it had lost it's power completely due to no Sages having amped it since OoT.
@@CRISIS_COMICS I see. Thanks for the new information then CRISIS.
@@CRISIS_COMICS Oh! I just remembered something and I actually want to hear your thoughts on it since you brought up Wind Waker. Since Wind Waker Ganondorf is just an older version of his Ocarina of Time version, and we know that he recognised the Master Sword as a threat and thus weakened it by killing 2 Sages before the Hero of the Wind found it, wouldn't that mean he may have considered even the weakened version unbreakable to his own strength, despite his possession of the Triforce of Power from that era? Simply because I imagine someone as smart as Ganondorf, especially a version that has witnessed the power of that sword in the past like the Wind Waker version had, would attempt to break it if he even thought it possible. And yet, he settled for weakening it by killing 2 sages and didn't bother with the idea when he bested the Hero of the Wind in their first encounter, when the Master Sword still lacked its full power.
So this guy's pretty strong. Now imagine a hypothetical entity that combines all the abilities and arsenals of *every single Link from across the series.* We're talking a warrior so powerful, even the Doom Slayer is bringing his A-game.
It's called comp link and people have debates online on who wins for example mario vs link
Comp link is a dangerous man
Doom slayer kills demons, Link kills the Demon King.
@@Goose_was_taken Well I mean they do the same sorta thing so imagine Link *teaming up* with Doom Slayer
And then cut to Satan himself crapping his pants
@@Goose_was_taken I mean technically they both did, Doom Slayer does this in the DLC for eternal
This is why I think he can take on Cloud Strife now. I was never a fan of how Death Battle lowballed link in his rematch. With Tears of the Kingdom Link’s time wielding abilities (similar to Phantom Hourglass’s time stop and stasis, and recall) Cloud cannot kill link. LET ALONE CUT THE TRIFORCE
I wasn't a fan on how they gave botw Link abilities and tools from the other Zelda games, like link has so many tools in abilities from breath of the wild that he could have used against cloud but instead they chose not to use any of them?
Here's the thing, hero of wild and hero of time links can both kick clouds ass. Hero of time just needs the fierce deity mask, Nayru's love and chateau romani.
@@runedoomNo way in hell are you saying that the guy who beat Safer Sephiroth loses to a goddamn ten-year-old-child playing with divinity.

Great video as always Crisis!
Thanks!
Link: *master of combat*
Nintendo: "let's give him 3 attack animations per weapon stance and no combos"

Was so looking forward to this after your Hero of Time vid
That Link still reigns supreme, Wild might be runner up tho
Who would win in a 1v1?
They need to add some of his abilities in Smash (preferably flurry rushes as a counter move)
8:24
The secret stones amplify powere that the user have, not a give a set power connected to the stone. The one that Zelda has, as an example, was Rauru's, wich amplified his light powers, whereas Zelda's amplify her time powers. Following that logic, and other Ganondorf's backgrounds, is easy to assume that the Gloom was a natural power of Ganondorf that was amplified by the secret. Also, I've read somewhere that the inscription in Ganondorf's secret stone looks like the japanese word for death, and that the other secret stones were similar to the powers of the other sages and Rauru. Don't know if it's true but if it is than it's pretty cool.
Great video. Been looking forward to it for a while.
I’ll add one thing, it’s physically impossible to react to laser beams. The light doesn’t hit your eye until the laser hits you. Yet, Link does it anyways lmao
Unlike the previous games link can just go to Ganondorf with a stick a f stick and beat him without help
Oh and he can do it without armor or the zonai arm/shika slate
Personally in terms of combat feats and prowess TOTK Link is an absolute beast. I would say all past Links could gang up and attack him and this Link would still beat them all.
Ight look I like this comment a lot so could u elaborate ?
@@Reallyjoyboyfr
-Beats an entire army of monsters with Lynels alone with just a scratch.
-Fends off an entire fleet of Guardians which can shoot light speed lasers.
-Parrys a giant boulder with just one hand.
-Beats Ganondorf (which is arguably the strongest Ganondorf ever) alone which all the other champions lost against.
Others Links are strong but that's with their abilities boosted with items and equipment. In terms of raw strength and skill TOTK Link is unbeatable.
@@Foiiiii1 also he killed ganon with a stick.
Mm Link still wins.
@@bowserfierykoopaking4235 thats only with the giants and fierce deity masks, hell totk link would probably defeat mm link before he can put on any mask. mm link is only the strongest due to his arsenal, while many other links are better overall like totk link.
I never knew Link was such a beast. The never explicitly show off any over the top insane feats, in-game like they do with Bayonetta of even Kirby so I just never knew.
Well now you need to do a dedicated Ganondorf video.
Damn. Imma save this video and come back when I beat the game. I don’t want spoilers
probably the second strongest link behind Majoras mask link.
Power scale zelda i don't see anybody else doing it
Please do a video on Samus next and then Samus vs Master Chief and then Samus vs a Space Marine after please. 🥺
Never played Metroid but never say never
WAHOO!
I’m just gonna mention that inventory too. The fact that he can carry up to 251 unique materials, and each one he can hold 999 of, not to mention the solid steel weapons, shields, and bows that he can carry. And this is all while still being capable of moving at light speed, and casually jogging around hyrule
was just about to comment this, holding the amount of parts that he does with it being entirely unaffecting him is crazy, he can literally pick up every loose item on the continent of Hyrule.
"Link defeated a lynel at a young age, proof of his mastery of the blade"
I got totally reckt by that red lynel first time I met him though
He's talking "lore" not "gameplay" my guy.
Yeah but when you get post game you can f up that lynel
Really like your Legend of Zelda videos. I was wondering what you'd think about scaling Kirby, as I think he's another slept on and underrated Nintendo powerhouse.
Question. Are you comparing links, raw physical strength, against magic? Just beacouse the way you described how link stands up against a wizzrobe confused me……
His magic weapons would scale above Wizzrobe's staff. Link also has magic empowering his physicality via Great Fairy buffs so it's easily transferable.
The fact that all the sages had powers and stones to amplify them, and link just has a sword and some courage shows how powerful link actually is.
Crisis got the best power scaling we need a Gannon scaling video
Is it fair to say the era of the wild incarnations of Link, Zelda and Ganondorf are the strongest characters?
No. OoT and TP are for sure >
@@CRISIS_COMICS agree with that.
I think this is the strongest ganondorf and zelda but not link
@@Goose_was_taken nah ganondorf in the timeline where he won got the full triforce
The Hero of Time is still the G.O.A.T.
Where does this version of Link rank among the others in terms of strength? Are the Hero of Time and Twilight still the top 2 strongest incarnations of Link?
Yes
I'd say they still are because they have more powerful equipments. But there is a good argument to make that physically / in terms of skills, thus is the best link
How was link holding his own against the four age of calamity blights not talked about lol. Those blights are heaps stronger then the ones seen in breath of the wild.
Would you ever make a video ranking all the links from weakest to strongest?
I would.
@@CRISIS_COMICS hero of time and hero of legend are definitely the top tiers
@@scuffed2reckless740 HoT #1
@@CRISIS_COMICS HoT and HoL are 1 and 2 respectively imo
HoS is the 1 cause he faced demise
Tell me again why some people think Aloy from Horizon can beat BOTW/TOTK Link?
They do?
@@CRISIS_COMICSI’m pretty sure it stemmed from here:
th-cam.com/video/KY9g4Os_mow/w-d-xo.html
So in short: If Link woke up one day and just decided to end the universe, he'd do that and thats it because there is nothing stopping him
Personally I think this version of link could potentially be on par with kratos in terms of strength if it wasn't for the fact that he's in an E rated game, he's held back so to the fact that he can't be more violent and show what he can really do.
BANGER ALERT!!!
Do you think totk ganon is stronger than oot ganon considering he broke the master sword while oot ganon even with the triforce of power couldn't?
Let them know crisis. Let these mario fans know that link, zelda and ganondorf isn't these moon level characters
The fact that Link is able to not only stagger but *push back* a fully grown, Lynel rushing at him is enough to tell me Link is broken
Just imagine Totk/Botw Link with all his powers (zonai and sheikah runes and champion’s and sage’s powers) with the fierce deity mask (which he does get in both botw and totk)
Awesome video! Please do one of these with the Hero of Twilight!
I think aome of this is a bit out of proportion, but link is certainly very powerful and skilled. The master sword is imvued with hylias light and the 3 goddesses blessings so it acts as a conduit for their power against ganon. I dont think link can actually profuce 2 megatons of force as he does not directly face the beasts, but ibstead goes inside them and fixes them/frees them. Nobody is actually directly using that force it is merely their magic that does thaf
Why is link being able to produce 2 megatons of force so hard for you to believe? After all their are characters that have done crazy things in other games that have done crazy feats Kirby can crack a planet in and cloud can blow up a planets yet Link being that strong you do believe?
It would be awesome to give Link hand to hand combat!
Don't forget the mechas that he can now build.
Ooo not to mention a rumor i heard that totk ganondorf was so powerful that not even his body could hold it in a sense. Like when he turns into the demon dragon there are these cysts all over his body that leaks his gloom whenever link strikes it down and ppl were saying that his power was too powerful that it was causing leaks all over his body.
11:29
Considering that the Light Force is a source of infinite energy that’s found in all things, that each and every Zelda possesses even without the Triforce or a piece of the Triforce. That would mean that the Light Force came from and was created by Hylia herself. Since Demise nearly killed her but Hylia was still clever enough to seal him away, that would mean he would possess infinite power himself. If not being in possession of succeeding the bounds of infinite power, due to Demise nearly scoring a win against Hylia herself. Since Demise already possesses infinite power (if not more) due to him rivaling and nearly killing Hylia, along with creating a hyperspace (subspace in Japanese which is a synonym for hyperspace). Demise would definitely and perhaps be easily above a Universal level of power.
Great job Crisis.
I feel it worthwhile to note that in botw Link doesn't even need the master sword (or any sword, I've done bows only, it works) to beat ganon, so saying it was the sword's power can't even word in that instance.
Canonically he got the sword. The player can get killed by skeletons, not everything the player does is canon.
True but all I was saying is that he possesses the strength to damage him with more than just the sword. And I wasn't saying it so as to downplay the strength of the master sword, only to bring to point the power he has along with it.
Is Calamity Ganon even true Ganon, or is it just this timeline’s version of Puppet Ganon?
@@CRISIS_COMICSbut In totk you NEED the master sword to beat Ganon you have to pull it before you beat him no matter what so wouldn’t being able to beat ganon without it in the same universe be canon? Or atleast enough to prove calamity ganon doesn’t need the to be killed by the sword.
Crisis do you ever plan to do a other video with a final fantasy character and W vid
Awesome video crisis

What’s the name of the song in time 16:24
In TOTK it's conan that link never got the master sword until after defeating calamity Ganon I don't know why but that's what the memories say in TOTK.
No. He got the MS in BotW, returned it to its pedestal to charge, then got it again just prior to TotK.
the power described throughout this video somehow still pales in comparison to the power the hero has when controlled by speedrunners
Crisis I’m abt to finish my 4th and final area. Once that happens would u recommend taking a break and just doing shrines to gain more power before what comes next
The dungeons aren’t that hard
The guardian lasers in botw/totk doesn't move at the speed of light though.
Did that Zelda vs Final Fantasy video you mentioned in this one get deleted? I’d like to watch it but I can’t find it on your channel.
It’s on Colin’s Channel.
@@ZeldaMultiverseUnderrated
Do you have a link?
I always love videos like this!!!❤
I find something amusing when IPs get into power levels of characters in which multiverse destruction is the only applicable unit.
Jesus. I don't usually like and subscribe on the first video i see from someone, but here you go bud.
Does that mean Link is as Powerful Sora(Kingdom Hearts),Pit(Kid icarus Uprising),Shulk(Xenoblade Chronicles) and Cloud(FF7)?
Sora and Pit, maybe. the others, yes
Sora has the power of heart, dreams, and imagination (and borrowed powers of light and wind). Pit had lended powers from literal gods. Shulk can forsee and rewrite reality. Cloud…well, we need to see what he gets in FF7R but as of right now he’s a magic swordsman with some potent magic and materia combos but far lower than any of the others here.
While is non-canon because of smash bros, Link in ssb4’s palutena trailer (this is the hero of twilight as shown in design and similar claw shots) was shown throwing pit around during their battle. This is also a pit after kid Icarus uprising who fought and won against the chaos kin who created their own dimension
Nonono. The Master Sword had to have spent multiple *millenia* being charged by Zelda's power. In botw, it's stated that Calamity Ganon appears once every 10,000 year and did back when the divine beasts were first construction. But that event wasn't the first appearance of Calamity Ganon, it couldn't have been given that the Divine beasts were constructed specifically to counter it, and they imply he's appeared multiple times. At minimum, he appeared 3 times after the founding of hyrule and sealing of the demon king. That means Zelda who transformed shortly after the found of Hyrule was charging the master sword, at minimum, for 30,000 years. That's significantly longer than the entirety of human history. It is juiced in TOTK.
Yes.
The Master Sword is the absolute strongest in TotK, only the following timelines or the same timeline but different game COULD be stronger than it is right now.
Plus the gloom hands which are just a small part of Ganondorfs power can turn the sun red
I think in terms of physical power without the help of magical items and triforce botw Link is the strongest imo
What if the hero of the wild had the sheica slate and the prura pad and his robot arm how powerful would he be
you missed a bit, the ending of totk implies that calamity ganon is but a fraction of ganondorf himselves power seeping out of hyrule castle while he is imprisoned, and link cooks ganondorf on a hot plate at the end of the game. aswell, if link had a secret stone (which goes far above quadrupling one’s power, evidenced by ganondorf), link would be able to destroy quite possibly any foe save for like arceus.
Did you watch the video? th-cam.com/video/PvrIpNGIcx8/w-d-xo.html What did I miss? Also ur smoking crack with that Arceus statement LMAO

Imo, Totk Link is probably the second strongest Link, only beaten by Majora’s Mask Link with the Fierce Deity mask
The Adult HoT would also win.
@@RubenRyb66 is there proof that botw Link would get his arm ripped off by a hookshot? Because unless there is, that point is entirely invalid
@@CRISIS_COMICS Hey Crisis Loved your video and all but How can HoT beat a master of combat like HotW? Because from my point of view HoT aren't landing a hit on HotW while he perfect parrying and furry rushing whatever is thrown at him. (Only reason HotW "died" to guardians in BotW was he was protecting a powerless Zelda from them)
@@Nortrodamas Because the Hero of Time is better at everything
@@RubenRyb66 dude… it’s not the job of the defender to prove that something is false, it’s the job of the accuser to prove that it’s true. And if you really want proof that his arms wouldn’t get ripped off, Link can go from falling at terminal velocity, to almost a complete stop by pulling out the paraglider. All of that force goes to his arms which, if they’re as weak as you seem to think, would get torn off
Sad I can’t watch this yet because I haven’t played the game yet…

Oh OK, so who are the Links that are above them? Because after watching your video it’s kind of hard to believe he’s not the strongest
@@satchelharding189 The Hero of Time and the Hero of Twilight for sure.

@@satchelharding189I dont know much at all about majoras mask or oot, but the answer is always about some bullshit mask that hot has?? fierce deity mask apparently turns him into some kinda god and thats why he slams totk link ig

Ngl Fierce Deity Link solo and the blood moon feat is low planetary and they are NOT in the same timeline
Link TotW is my favorite iteration of the character. (Tears of the Wild).
Ok so the 7 Teratons fodder was sudden
Imagine if you train Link in the Dragon Ball universe
link should be training them-
TLDR:
He’s a 4-dimensional god, with unimaginable power and speed many times faster then light
That eats rocks
Young LINK is 9 years old Nintendo has said that
That doesn't quite apply to every game with a child Link
Twilight Princess Link next plz
People always lowball Zelda characters but they are super busted
So what im hearing is Ganon could run a fade with Darkseid or Thanos. And Link could batter most Marvel or DC characters.
You heard wrong
master sword works by banishing since ganon would auto res in like a decade or something comapared to 100 years until some unleashes him
