given how fast he reacted to that arrow when it was inches away from his face, yea it's pretty clear he wasn't giving it his all. (worth noting too, had zelda not stopped them and he stayed committed to that swing he used to block the arrow he would have probably ripped right through revali.)
He did? Since when did he parry jack shit? Revali had him dead to rights, arrow drawn, and Link hadn't even begun to swing his sword yet. Revali had him straight up dead if it wasn't for the Princess.
@@Soulbone3 Lol you must be imagining something else in your head, because no such thing happened. Revali had the arrow fully drawn before Link even began to swing his sword. Revali merely stopped because of the Princess.
@@skins4thewin you’re the one who’s imagining something. I saw it in slow motion, he was already swinging it before Zelda stopped them, when she did stop, he was mid swing.
@@skins4thewin 1:32 you can hear the parry and see the arrow be deflected. Revali still fired the arrow he stopped fighting Link afterwards. He still got his shot off bro. You gotta pay attentional the details. Link would’ve won that fight. Random Fact: If Link at like age 6 can reflect guardian beams point blank with a pot lid to save some random kid I’m pretty sure he can do the same with an arrow at 16/17. (This feat was a key point in Link becoming Zelda’s appointed Knight so early)
@@afifsahrin5708 watch it again. When zelda yelled, revali let off the arrow like the dishonorable douchbag he is and link parried it. Thats why the arrow is falling back down in the next shot. If Link didnt stop his swing he would have cleaved revali right in two.
@@snikerz5886 yes I watched it in 0.25 speed, Revali let off the arrow to the air. He's a professional anyway, and one of the champion, a gentleman, not a villain that want to kill Link.
I love how Zelda said stop but revali still shot the arrow and link was like “oh cool don’t mind me let me just smack that arrow with a millimeter width blade”
@@thedukeconiosantiago9180 he *manipulated*? It seems you really are a Revali fanatic, it’s obvious that Link parried it, first of all, you can see Revali had a fully drawn bow aiming at Link, there is no time to flip around to shoot upwards, and the part where you said “manipulated” doesn’t make sense, he ain’t an Air Bender or sum to “manipulate” an arrow, secondly, if he DID shoot upwards, how can you argue the sound of metal (which also sounds like a botw parry) clanking? A sword doesn’t just make random sounds whenever you stop swinging, Link’s sword hit something, and that something is the arrow, I wanna see you argue with that
@@boomdx2109 ah yes you're underestimating revali, as you can imagine since revali is obviously the better archer and fighter besides sword. He knows how to use the fight in advantage, if revali wanted to he could have killed link with multiple shots and possibly create tornadoes such as in game, besides everything is in slow motion to him so he must have changed it or altered the direction just a smidgen to not hurt or kill link. Link was in a disadvantage at best and he would have died much more then revali.
Watching Revali fight, it makes me rather surprised that he fell to Windblight. Seems he fell just for storyline purposes as he is clearly skilled enough to win that battle.
Probably being cocky. Plus Revali’s only real advantage besides being a snipper is flying. If the enemy can fly as well it drastically changes the fight. Wind blight could’ve just flown towards him tanked a few arrows and killed him.
Just to point out, saying "lawl Windblight easy therefore weakest canon" doesn't mean anything. There have been numerous times in a game that a boss can bring about the end of the world, but are laughably easy to fight gameplay wise. Actual story trumps gameplay mechanics. Canon-wise, each of the blights are fairly equal in strength as are the champions to each other. Also of note, each Blight was made to counter each of the champions, Windblight was no different.
@@IamCanadian3333 agreed. Plus a reason why windblight was easy was because link have the ability to slow down time by aiming in the air. If you recall how Teba commended on link that he was practically stopping time to hit the 4 targets. Those easy 4 targets is considered to be very challenging for a normal person, yet link is just overpowered to that extent.
Revali only loss because he was going up against someone who has the ability to be the complete opposite of him just like the other champions He had skills of range and flight his opposite would have a tank like windblight You can also see this with the others mipha was a support character that aslos can use water as a defence and offence use Her opposite would have dps and ice Urbosa only loss because thunderblight had the power to be absorb lighting and use for speed And as for Daruk his abilities was tank so someone stronger had to fight him
Nope, revali was the best marksman no doubt abt it but the problem was the blights was made to counter every champion. Windblight manipulates wind which is why revali didn't even land a shot. Close combat is a big no no for revali if it's windblight. No matter how skillful his aim was, windblights uses the wind to stop the arrows.
Personally, I’m gonna say link would’ve won that fight. Even with the strategical and situational advantage Revali had, he still managed to bring it to such an incredible close standoff. Link managed to correct his error after revali had baited his attack through the smoke in an insanely short amount of time, and he even parried his arrow shot at point blank. You can tell he did because of the metal clanging noise. Revali also had a *fully drawn bow*, and it would be literally *impossible* to aim and shoot the arrow in that trajectory and that slow speed in that amount of time. Link also gained a very advantageous position against him after blocking the arrow. Seeing as revali was upsidown during the shot that was parried, all link had to do was slash again and revali would’ve died. Link clearly can slash fast enough to achieve that and can react fast enough as well. Link is the more skilled of the two by FAR when it comes to close combat, so revali would’ve died for sure. Link definitely had that in the bag, but Zelda stopped the fight.
I did just that and did not see what you are saying. The arrow came nowhere near Link's sword. Seems to me Revali whiffed on purpose to spare Link. Revali had his arrow aimed straight at Link's head before he even turned around, and well before he began to swing his sword. Revali was the one holding back, not Link.
@@skins4thewin then what did it hit cause link probably could of used bullet time and hit the arrow cause revali never changed his aim and link was swinging
@@gambler942 I never knew Hylians celebrated Thanksgiving... I also never thought Link would be the one stuffing the turkey X'D Ah, damn. I'm definitely going to Hell for this one.
1:33 clearly link parried the arrow There's a bright spark animation in between right as revali shoots the arrow & as link turns not to mention the clank sound effect indicating metal clashing so there was contact the scene just wasn't synced to perfection
People saying Revali could have beaten Link, despite clearly a clank being heard, arrow projectile of falling down couldn't happen if shot in a different direction with a fully pulled bow, and Link canonically beat WindBlight Ganon, whereas it destroyed Revali to oblivion, so Link wins TBH. Moreover, it was Revali who had the advantage of Home Ground, starting the fight without any fair challenge to duel, and if Revali fanboys can't accept that Link Won, atleast accept that Revali was in a better position during the fight and because it is still so close(for some people) to become a debate of who won, I can easily give it to Link even for a draw against such an unfavorable surprise start to the fight.
@@brianhong5070 yeah, that makes sense. I had my doubts cause I figured the metal "clank" was of Link's armor or the sword coming to a dead halt (Inuyasha's sword would loudly clank when he readied it) but the arrow's velocity makes a lot of sense
Revali was in bullet time. Yes, Link parried that arrow, but Revali could've shot him anywhere else where his sword wasn't coming... I honestly think Revali just underestimated Link, seeing how he had no idea who Link was, and he could've fought better by just staying out of range and plummeting arrows at him. Maybe Link was going easy as well, but I doubt he dropped his shield on purpose there
For everyone saying Revali Had Link beat no Link parried the arrow at 1:33 And u guys do realize link blocks and dodges point blank shots and attacks all the time right. Like laser beams and thunder blight which move way faster than those arrows. And also don’t forget that memory when he took down a horde of enemies and multiple Lynels
If you're really critical about the animation, i saw the arrow never changed path after it left revali's bow. Link was a few millisecond late. It could just be an animation flaw where it isn't synced correctly, but judging literally, link's sword did not come into contact with the arrows.
Link certainly has faster reaction speed, as Revali couldn’t dodge Windblight Ganon’s lasers and Link does that for breakfast. However, that swing where Link parries the arrow wouldn’t have hit Revali. You can see how far away they are in the shot just before Revali fires and how he moves away from Link as he lands faster than Link’s sword actually swings if you slow the footage down. From the looks of it, while Link does have faster reaction speed, Revali actually moves faster. And while Link would certainly win a melee fight due to this also because of armour and specialty in melee weapons, Revali could just have kept raining down bomb arrows after disarming Link’s shield. Also that a sword won’t block a concussive blast like it would a solid arrow
Pretty sure they both would've died if Zelda didn't intervene. Revali would've shot Link and Link's sword still would've had enough velocity to kill him
@@Khaliljt outclassing warriors doesn't mean you're invincible. If the situation proves wrong you might just end up dead. Revali missed on purpose if you look carefully
@@RenMagnum4057 What? If the arrow deflected off of Link’s sword and his sword was directly in front of his face, that means the arrow was aimed at his head. He didn’t miss, he just got his shit blocked.
@@a.jthomas6132 I have gone over this topic many times to all sorts of people, but I've concluded that Revali begrudges Link because he thinks he is privileged. This is the semi-in depth version: If you read his Diary and look at the way Hylians have treated others such as the Gerudo in history- Most Hylians are snobbish and self-centred, I'm sure the King's behaviour only proved his notions about Hylians too tbh. Revali thinks Link didn't work for what he has and got his role just because he was a Hylian. In the storyline, you can see Revali worked his aŝs off to become the best Warrior for his clan, to the point where he is in pain from pushing himself- Link on the other hand did train and go through pain, both emotionally and mentally, of course, but had talent from the get-go and fought off Swordmasters by the time he was 10. In the start, Revali wanted to showcase his skills and get respect and recognition from Link, (because even if he would never admit it, that mattered to him-) But Link stood there in silence never smiling or speaking a word to him. In his Diary, you can see Revali translated that as Link being a snob himself and that he was too good to even dignify the conversation with a response. After that Link was on his shït-list basically. I can't fault Revali for his dislike of Hylians as they were very privileged and controlled most everything in Hyrule, but Revali's mistake was his fear and miscommunication along with making assumptions without trying to communicate and understand further. Revali and Link would have probably been best friends if they were able to overcome this, as they both understand pressure and loneliness and how it feels to be trapped in another's expectations. The only thing here is that Revali coped with his problems differently than Link (both coping mechanisms that ultimately weren't healthy.) Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, and if you couldn't tell, yes Revali is my favourite Champion.
@@BloodInTheStrawberries few likes, but i love your comment, great analysis, sometimes what prives us of a great friendships its The fear to comunicate and do supouses in his stead
2:09 Revali (and his whole squad) barely defeating a couple Moblins and Bokoblins. Meanwhile BoTW memory #5 shows Link (alone) barely injured after clapping three Silver Lynels and several other monsters. To everyone in the comments debating who would've won the fight I feel like this is enough evidence
@@Leeooooooo...To be fair Sooga is kinda a beast himself. Also he has DUAL WIND CLEAVERS DEAR HEAVENS!!!! So, Link could have also been blasted by the wind too on top of any strength Sooga already had.
@@Starlitsoul0359 True, but that means Revali would be able to somewhat blow him away since he can manipulate wind if he does something like a kick at the same time, and I think we kind of see him kick Link and blow him back anyway. Another example of how Link's strength can vary so much is he parried a giant rock that was about to fall on Zelda at one point
you guys realize how laser cannons right? a laser cannon is just what you need to shoot a bird out of the sky, no matter how skilled they are. all windblight needed was good aim
I think Revali knew Link was going to turn arround and he was actually aimming at his hand, but Link deflected the arrow with the hilt of the sword, not the blade, and Revali dind't intent to kill, just disarm him
This comment section is goofy because link would obviously win. Dude can parry guardian beams, stop a full speed Lionel in its tracks with a fling of his arm, and has the master sword. Not to mention he was trying to recruit revali as an ally, not murder him. Also he blocked the arrow whist mid swing and brought the sword to an instantaneous stop because Zelda told them to stop. All this and dude wasn’t even using the master sword or a shield
Revali: about this pathetic knight in your service... are you sure he's got what it takes? Link: i was made before you you f"bip"ing clown Revali: ! me: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
@@danielt7708 nah link had him in a very convenient spot if the princess didnt came to stop link would have slice off revali’s head Plus he in that slash he would still block and hit revali so revali had it lucky
@@zanediezeljuan8999 that’s if Revali didn’t move out of the way in time. That whole fight was pretty much link trying to not get hit, there’s nothing Link could really do to hit Revali.
I love Link and I think he was supposed to parry the arrow, but if you slow down to .25 speed at 1:33 and go frame by frame Revali had already shot the arrow before Link had turned around but the frame after that the arrow moves in a angle away from Link. Link also hadn’t fully turned around to block the arrow yet it makes a ding sound like link parried it. That’s why I think link was supposed to parry it but for some reason didn’t.
The reason for this is because the devs did not intent for the scene to be slowed to .25 speed.. So why animate something the human brain can’t perceive. Or rather, will 100% perceive otherwise if other triggers are set(like the clang noise).
Personally I found it annoying that they even fought in the first place. Considering they went to Rito village to recruit Rito's champion the moment the Rito showed hostility they should have either backed down or figured out a way of convincing them their weren't a threat. The fact Impa and Link (I blame Impa more since it was her idea) decided to push through and continue to attack them (at a moment they were vulnerable) completely justifies Revali's 'rudeness' towards Link (and even the others) throughout the rest of Age of Calamity. After a stunt like that they were lucky Revali even agreed to join them at all.
Yes but this scene was not played with the intention of being watched on slowmo speed. You can clearly hear the metal clanging sound, indicating that link parried the shot with the small width of the side of his sword. Why would you put extra work into making the arrow go to the sword and launch up, if it would be too hard for a human to process when watching it in normal speed anyway, because the action is already too fast? So it’s not unfortunate, link did parry it. He’s cool like that.
Revali straight up could have killed Link here. He had his arrow pointed square at the back of Link's head before he even began to turn around, and well before he started to swing his sword. Revali was clearly holding back & could have killed Link if he wanted to. Only the Link fanboys somehow see this scene differently. Some ppl are even trying to say that he deflected the arrow with his sword but even if you slow the video way down, the arrow is never anywhere near Link's sword. I'm honestly not sure why the arrow does what it does at the end, kind of strange. That was one sweet ass parry when he came rushing out of the smoke & parried Link's sword & went straight into that arrow shot at the back of his head. Link was a straight up dead man at that point.
Link deflected the arrow. You, clearly, see the arrow leave Revali's bow at a downward trajectory, only to shoot straight up in the air after the, very clear, 'clang' of metal on metal is heard. As per your first point, Revali, clearly, underestimated the speed at which Link would be able to turn around, and react to his attack, indicated by his supreme confidence at the battle being over. If Link hadn't reacted in time, he would be dead. You have no proof, whatsoever, that Revali was, in any way, 'holding back'. That is, pure, speculation, and fanboyism on your part. Purely within the canon of 'Age of Calamity', Revali had to be saved from Windblight Ganon by Teba. By contrast, Link held off all four blights by himself, even being so comfortable as to be on the offensive at multiple points within the battle. If we include the greater canon, (meaning BoTW) Revali is killed by Windblight Ganon, which Link slays after a 100 year slumber. There is no question as to who the superior fighter is, both in this battle, and outside.
Josiah Estremera I think if you see at around 1.33 with 0.25 speed , from link's position it seems like he wouldn't be able to catch up with the arrow. Although the arrow itself just fly in different direction than the bow in immediately after it was released... i don't know, i personally think that revali deliberately fired to the air after hearing zelda's voice. I think if they both give it they all link probably would win, but in this fight it seem like revali does have an upper hand.
@@ikhwansyatrichahidayatulla7158 Even at 0.25 speed, we can't see every frame of the arrows flight. What we CAN see, however, is the arrow leaving Revali's bow at a downward trajectory, only to shoot straight up, after an audible 'clang'. These are the facts: Revali's bow was pointed downward, the arrow was seen leaving at a downward trajectory, there was an audible 'clang' of metal on metal, (the only other metal between Link, and the arrow being Link's sword) and the arrow, immediately shot up. I think it's very clear that the arrow was deflected. The burden on proof is on those who believe it wasn't. How, then, did the arrow shoot straight up if Revali's bow was pointed down, why was there an audible 'clang'? To believe that Revali, purposely, 'missed', or that Link didn't, in fact, deflect the arrow is in spite of the facts. Note that only you, and skins4thewin are using terms like 'not sure', or 'don't know'. Your point of view carries uncertainty, and requires speculation. My point of view is supported by the video evidence, and facts. I only need point them out.
I dont know why it took me so long to realize that if revali wanted he could have killed link, because we can see that in the botw dlc memory revali can shoot 13 targets in about 3 seconds, so if he actually wanted to be fast he could have shot link in the head before link parryed the arrow with his sword
@@shockwave3864 Revali also has bullet time, which is much better than Link's bullet time. Link is good with arrows but Revali is better. I think both Revali and Link were being easy on each other, Revali could've rained arrows on him
I think the main reason Revali lost to windblight ganon was because they were trapped inside medoh. And Revali's strength was to glide as fast as he can while bombarding the enemy with arrows which he can't do inside medoh because of the space
They never showed botw ravioli fighting windblight, botw ravoli was probably inside and couldn't reach a good vantage point giving him to much to watch out for. His weapons a bow and he need to fly to fight as seen by how he uses the bow. Aoc ravoli was outside so he could still have lost but the odds were more evened out. But then again. Because of botw lack of champion death cutscenes we can't ever know where ravioli dead.
“Are you sure he’s got what it takes.” Lets see he beat the ganon that killed you while he was still weak and remembering how to fight. He also beat the ganons that killed the other champions. He beat calamity ganon. Then he beat the beast it turned into. Yeah he had help with a lot of that, but he’s still kicking while you got solo killed by a fodder version of ganon. If you spent less time talking and more time training, then maybe you’d have survived long enough to see how outclassed you are.
All the delusional ravioli fanboys giving me a headache. Ravioli was trying to/injure, used dirty tactics, and still lost Legit every fanboy be saying "LiNk DiDnT pArRy" it's quite obvious he did. Just stop. At least until you can come up with a logical and original argument
I don't think link was fighting to kill him, just for self defense, meanwhile Revali didn't know who he was looking at and thus, was trying to kill him. I think Link would've run him over eventuslly, even without the best eyesight, should he have been trying to kill him
Except that Revali wasn’t better. Link would have won the fight (he’s just that good), but the scene carries two interesting framings for the Zelda story. Either, Zelda’s very “cry” brings peace (the arrow already released, the sword already moving) OR at Zelda’s cry Link WILL do the “impossible”.
Everyone is still arguing about who won but consider two things: 1: Link would've killed Revali during their battle if he wasn't there to form an alliance with the Rito and help Zelda recruit Revali A clearly weaker version of the same Link would go on to react to attacks far faster than Revali's arrows and kill the same enemy that ended up killing Revali.
Link is a goddamned beast!!! He BLASTED Revali into that gate. Revali is very fast and has great mobility along with powerful ranged attacks the Ganon Blights must have been very fearsome indeed.
for some reason, i think ravali never really tries to injure link or offend him, (he is, but hear me out) what he really tries to do is get a reaction out of him. if you read ravalis diary in botw, you will see that he ponders what goes on in links head. Thats like the one thing ravali doesnt get what he wants
Lol, all these people arguing over a non canon alternate universe event. 😆 But seriously, the evidence is obvious and the general number of likes on comments backs it up... Link was in no real danger and he wasn't trying to kill Ravioli. That overgrown turkey drumstick, on the other hand most certainly was trying to kill Link. Link is superior in the opinions of true fans and Ravioli's clear display of jealousy proves it, otherwise why be jealous? 😏
“Non canon”??? The events that don’t abuse time travel are canon(i.e this fight), aoc takes place before botw, meaning this fight did happen. It probably explains why Revali is so egotistical towards Link
@@gg_ez69lol63 this game isn't canon to the Zelda timeline. I don't think any of the games called "Hyrule Warriors" are. I don't know, I might be wrong.

@@gg_ez69lol63 but they beat ganon in hyrule warriors snd khoga joins them. why would he leave their alliance 100 years later after realizing how bad ganon was? it just doesn’t make sense to the botw timeline.
Revali's ego wouldn't let him win a fight against Link. He has underestimated him multiple times and probably has no idea what Link is already capable of. His cockiness would be his downfall if they were to fight.
Had Zelda not interfered, I think Revali would have beaten Link. During this scene, Link is not able to even land a hit on Revali, except for at the beginning where he knocked him into the gate. It’s pretty much just link trying not to get hit, which he wouldn’t have been able to keep up since he lost his shield, and there’s no way he would be able to block all of Revali’s arrows with his sword, not to mention bomb arrows. Link was saved by the bell, the bell being Zelda
That’s because link didn’t come for a fight he was basically ambushed plus revali had home advantage and link still managed to deflect that last arrow with no shield.

nahh real thing i noticed would the small egg boi warning link have given him an edge? and more so if revali didn't speak. looking back at this now if revali didn't said a word, link wouldn't have reacted fast enough to the already drawn bow which could have easily shot link.
Probably being over cocky. Plus Revali’s only real advantage besides being a snipper is flying. If the enemy can fly as well it drastically changes the fight. Wind blight could’ve just flown towards him tanked a few arrows and killed him.
Like how this ganon is way more powerful than botw ganon, windblight should also be way more powerful than botw ganon. And i believe its not as of a pushover as botw.
I'd say it's because they were caught completely off guard when the calamity hit. They were all the way over at Lanayru Promenade at the time, and Revali had to fly across pretty much the entire map to reach Medoh. By the time he actually arrived, he would have been exhausted, not to mention the fact that the guardians turning against them would've caught them even *more* off guard - and who knows how many of them Revali would've had to fight off on his journey to get back to Medoh. Keep in mind that right up until it was far too late, it was always assumed that the guardians would be Link's personal escort army as he rushed the castle to take on Ganon - just as it went 10,000 years prior. So by the time Revali arrived, supplies would be low, he'd be tired, he was pretty unprepared.
1: They were killing his people and invading his home town so his anger is completely justified, 2: Link would get cooked because Revali can shoot 13 targets in 3 seconds. 3: He has bomb arrows with a multi shot bow so he can hit a larger area. 4: Link can’t use bullet time because he needs some sort of height to activate it. 5: Revali is way too fast for Link
He's still calling him a pathetic knight when link parried that arrow with his fcking sword and losing to windblight. And link freed revali and vah medoh. If they continued revali would have sword wounds all in his back 😂
1:33 why do people keep saying link parried the arrow? Slow it down, and you can see in this exact moment the arrow is already above his head before link even swung his sword
1:30 Revali:Good bye you sack of shi- *Parried* Revali:(Chuckles nervously)Heeyyy I’m a reasonable and calm guy why don’t we discuss this hehe Link:You ever hear how fried chicken is made? Revali:Let’s not be so aggressive here 😅😅😅 Link:(Sheaths sword) Revali:See?Calm and reasonable like I thought you’d be! Link:Step one of the recipe… TENDERIZE THE CHICKEN!!! Revali:Wai wai wait!!! No No No!!!
Lol at these comments. The link wank is crazy Yes reval if had the intent to kill he would of won this cutscene fight And let me explain why. At 1:12 reval gets rid of link shield 1:13 reval literally has link in a position where he could of shot him dead but what does he do instead? 1:14 He shoots explosive arrows missing on purpose. Note link does not react to the attack at all meaning if reval actually shot him head on with real arrows link would of checked. Link only reacts to the attack atfer the explosions start going off and hitting the ground. So yes if reval was serious the fight would of ended here. Y’all can stop saying link “ won” this cutscene fight because they were both either holding back or only reval was holding back. And btw at 1:24 the only reason why link reacted to the attack was because reval took the chance to gloat by saying “ but I’m better” If reval didn’t do that link would of just got shot. So It’s clear that reval cocky attitude was his downfall as he gloating about his abilities the whole fight looking down on link. If y’all stopped being link fanboys just for a second and payed attention you can see that link would of lost at two points during this fight. Now this is only for the cutscene fight we have no idea what happened during the gameplay fight but it’s clear link had the advantage somehow. However because we have nothing to go off of other than link having the advantage I can’t really tell if link was holding back or serious. The only person we know that was holding back clearly is reval because he was playing with his food.
Link fighting to kill has been seen with all the blights and monsters take links abilities in botw and apply them hear. Link can dodge thunder blight canon during the speed marage dance thing it does. If that link whos the same link as this one in a weakened state then wouldn't link here do the same? Link is also blinded yet only hears a few words that's not enough to just attack the person in the exact direction they come from which is what link actually did. Link here isn't serious and isn't going for the kill but still used his precise reaction time. Link also turns and parries the arrow. Though people say link should have got shot anyway because of the party angle link still parried it regardless. Ravioli shot before zelda said to stop. Meaning the battle eas becoming life or death. And link again fights thunder blight canon in his weakened state making peak link from aoc even more capable. Also I dont like link much compared to other characters but I have to give him all of his abilities anyway because if you think this is enough to put down link I'm sorry but thats just a bad conparison.
@@NicklausHaynie because wind blight ganon needed to be close to the divine beast on order to keep control of it, so in the end range was wind blights downfall, also in age of calamity wind blight doesn't need to be in medoh because its not possessing it so it can move freely. So in other words all the blights are at their peak when not possessing the divine beasts bit the still have lost of their power its just wind blight ganon who got the most nerfed.
Slow it down linger than 0.25 and you'll see a diferent story, thre was no parry, the arrow just decides to change routes... Links arm was not even close and Revali did not change aim either... The arrow decided that down was up or Revali flicked or the animators got lazy... But that metal sound was off or it was just ther for special effect and drama.
No he didn't, Link parried his arrow 1:33 you could hear the clash of the metal arrow against Links sword. Link parried the arrow because Revali still shot it despite Zelda saying stop. That just shows you how much he really dislikes Link
@@danielt7708 Link would've closed in on him at that point. Link's reflexes are basically the best in Hyrule.

Revali has amazing speed so he might've dodged it, but if he were to get in close to Link at any point, Link would counter and close in for the kill. The only thing Revali has over Link and the other champions is the fact that he can fly. Although against Urbosa, he'd still lose a fight
@@danielt7708 besides, link might've lost his shield, but it's not like he couldn't have gotten it back, considering how Revali fights Link would've had time to grab his shield and continue the fight

I don’t feel like link was fighting with intent to kill.
But how he parried that fucking arrow was hype as hell
given how fast he reacted to that arrow when it was inches away from his face, yea it's pretty clear he wasn't giving it his all. (worth noting too, had zelda not stopped them and he stayed committed to that swing he used to block the arrow he would have probably ripped right through revali.)
He did? Since when did he parry jack shit? Revali had him dead to rights, arrow drawn, and Link hadn't even begun to swing his sword yet. Revali had him straight up dead if it wasn't for the Princess.
@@Soulbone3 Lol you must be imagining something else in your head, because no such thing happened. Revali had the arrow fully drawn before Link even began to swing his sword. Revali merely stopped because of the Princess.
@@skins4thewin you’re the one who’s imagining something. I saw it in slow motion, he was already swinging it before Zelda stopped them, when she did stop, he was mid swing.
@@skins4thewin 1:32 you can hear the parry and see the arrow be deflected. Revali still fired the arrow he stopped fighting Link afterwards. He still got his shot off bro. You gotta pay attentional the details. Link would’ve won that fight.
Random Fact:
If Link at like age 6 can reflect guardian beams point blank with a pot lid to save some random kid I’m pretty sure he can do the same with an arrow at 16/17.
(This feat was a key point in Link becoming Zelda’s appointed Knight so early)
When Link blocks the arrow with half a centimeter of his sword 👀
Well he is able to dodge a laser beam lol
Then again, Revali probably hesitated when he heard Zelda, letting link parry his shot.
I thought Revali purposely let off the arrow, not blocked by Link
@@afifsahrin5708 watch it again. When zelda yelled, revali let off the arrow like the dishonorable douchbag he is and link parried it. Thats why the arrow is falling back down in the next shot. If Link didnt stop his swing he would have cleaved revali right in two.
@@snikerz5886 yes I watched it in 0.25 speed, Revali let off the arrow to the air. He's a professional anyway, and one of the champion, a gentleman, not a villain that want to kill Link.
How are people even arguing Revali shot upwards lmfao wtf. Link clearly parried the arrow.
You can hear the arrow hit links sword.

I love how Zelda said stop but revali still shot the arrow and link was like “oh cool don’t mind me let me just smack that arrow with a millimeter width blade”
Nah more so revali stopped half way at shooting and just dropped it to links sword letting him deflect hit >;3
@@thedukeconiosantiago9180 No, Revali definitely shot, and Link definitely parried it.
@@bluphenyx nah he manipulated the arrow and link thought he blocked it.
@@thedukeconiosantiago9180 he *manipulated*? It seems you really are a Revali fanatic, it’s obvious that Link parried it, first of all, you can see Revali had a fully drawn bow aiming at Link, there is no time to flip around to shoot upwards, and the part where you said “manipulated” doesn’t make sense, he ain’t an Air Bender or sum to “manipulate” an arrow, secondly, if he DID shoot upwards, how can you argue the sound of metal (which also sounds like a botw parry) clanking? A sword doesn’t just make random sounds whenever you stop swinging, Link’s sword hit something, and that something is the arrow, I wanna see you argue with that
@@boomdx2109 ah yes you're underestimating revali, as you can imagine since revali is obviously the better archer and fighter besides sword. He knows how to use the fight in advantage, if revali wanted to he could have killed link with multiple shots and possibly create tornadoes such as in game, besides everything is in slow motion to him so he must have changed it or altered the direction just a smidgen to not hurt or kill link. Link was in a disadvantage at best and he would have died much more then revali.
Watching Revali fight, it makes me rather surprised that he fell to Windblight. Seems he fell just for storyline purposes as he is clearly skilled enough to win that battle.
Probably being cocky. Plus Revali’s only real advantage besides being a snipper is flying. If the enemy can fly as well it drastically changes the fight.
Wind blight could’ve just flown towards him tanked a few arrows and killed him.
Just to point out, saying "lawl Windblight easy therefore weakest canon" doesn't mean anything. There have been numerous times in a game that a boss can bring about the end of the world, but are laughably easy to fight gameplay wise. Actual story trumps gameplay mechanics. Canon-wise, each of the blights are fairly equal in strength as are the champions to each other.
Also of note, each Blight was made to counter each of the champions, Windblight was no different.
@@IamCanadian3333 agreed. Plus a reason why windblight was easy was because link have the ability to slow down time by aiming in the air.
If you recall how Teba commended on link that he was practically stopping time to hit the 4 targets. Those easy 4 targets is considered to be very challenging for a normal person, yet link is just overpowered to that extent.
Revali only loss because he was going up against someone who has the ability to be the complete opposite of him just like the other champions
He had skills of range and flight his opposite would have a tank like windblight
You can also see this with the others
mipha was a support character that aslos can use water as a defence and offence use
Her opposite would have dps and ice
Urbosa only loss because thunderblight had the power to be absorb lighting and use for speed
And as for Daruk his abilities was tank so someone stronger had to fight him
Nope, revali was the best marksman no doubt abt it but the problem was the blights was made to counter every champion. Windblight manipulates wind which is why revali didn't even land a shot. Close combat is a big no no for revali if it's windblight. No matter how skillful his aim was, windblights uses the wind to stop the arrows.
Link really said “call an ambulance call an ambulance! But not for me”
Lmao
Personally, I’m gonna say link would’ve won that fight.
Even with the strategical and situational advantage Revali had, he still managed to bring it to such an incredible close standoff.
Link managed to correct his error after revali had baited his attack through the smoke in an insanely short amount of time, and he even parried his arrow shot at point blank. You can tell he did because of the metal clanging noise. Revali also had a *fully drawn bow*, and it would be literally *impossible* to aim and shoot the arrow in that trajectory and that slow speed in that amount of time. Link also gained a very advantageous position against him after blocking the arrow. Seeing as revali was upsidown during the shot that was parried, all link had to do was slash again and revali would’ve died. Link clearly can slash fast enough to achieve that and can react fast enough as well. Link is the more skilled of the two by FAR when it comes to close combat, so revali would’ve died for sure. Link definitely had that in the bag, but Zelda stopped the fight.
revali could have just rained non stop bomb arrows from the sky if he wanted to.
Yea but keep in mind he didn’t have a shield
And Zelda didn’t stop the fight in time to where revoli was upside down and link tried to slash him but he dodged him
Also wth revoli is weak now he can die in 1 hit
@@Greenfield924 Cut off his head? He doesn’t just have an hp bar.

Ah yes a naruto and loz fan
These two are both so badass… THIS is how to do a fight scene.
I agree
The popular kid VS the quiet kid.
If you slow the fight down to .25 speed you can see Link deflect the arrow with his hilt. Revali really doesn't even have a chance against this guy.
I did just that and did not see what you are saying. The arrow came nowhere near Link's sword. Seems to me Revali whiffed on purpose to spare Link. Revali had his arrow aimed straight at Link's head before he even turned around, and well before he began to swing his sword. Revali was the one holding back, not Link.
Link definitely would have blocked it to an extent if revali decided to kill him, but he definitely wiffed the shot.
@@skins4thewin then what did it hit cause link probably could of used bullet time and hit the arrow cause revali never changed his aim and link was swinging

1:33 clearly link parried the arrow
There's a bright spark animation in between right as revali shoots the arrow & as link turns not to mention the clank sound effect indicating metal clashing so there was contact the scene just wasn't synced to perfection
People saying Revali could have beaten Link, despite clearly a clank being heard, arrow projectile of falling down couldn't happen if shot in a different direction with a fully pulled bow, and Link canonically beat WindBlight Ganon, whereas it destroyed Revali to oblivion, so Link wins TBH. Moreover, it was Revali who had the advantage of Home Ground, starting the fight without any fair challenge to duel, and if Revali fanboys can't accept that Link Won, atleast accept that Revali was in a better position during the fight and because it is still so close(for some people) to become a debate of who won, I can easily give it to Link even for a draw against such an unfavorable surprise start to the fight.
With a fully cocked bow if Revali had aimed anywhere else the arrow would not have flown up like that. It would have had a lot more speed
@@brianhong5070 yeah, that makes sense. I had my doubts cause I figured the metal "clank" was of Link's armor or the sword coming to a dead halt (Inuyasha's sword would loudly clank when he readied it) but the arrow's velocity makes a lot of sense
Revali was in bullet time. Yes, Link parried that arrow, but Revali could've shot him anywhere else where his sword wasn't coming... I honestly think Revali just underestimated Link, seeing how he had no idea who Link was, and he could've fought better by just staying out of range and plummeting arrows at him. Maybe Link was going easy as well, but I doubt he dropped his shield on purpose there
For everyone saying Revali Had Link beat no Link parried the arrow at 1:33
And u guys do realize link blocks and dodges point blank shots and attacks all the time right.
Like laser beams and thunder blight which move way faster than those arrows.
And also don’t forget that memory when he took down a horde of enemies and multiple Lynels
If you're really critical about the animation, i saw the arrow never changed path after it left revali's bow. Link was a few millisecond late.
It could just be an animation flaw where it isn't synced correctly, but judging literally, link's sword did not come into contact with the arrows.
@@Marnige he hit it, if you listen you can hear it
Link certainly has faster reaction speed, as Revali couldn’t dodge Windblight Ganon’s lasers and Link does that for breakfast. However, that swing where Link parries the arrow wouldn’t have hit Revali. You can see how far away they are in the shot just before Revali fires and how he moves away from Link as he lands faster than Link’s sword actually swings if you slow the footage down. From the looks of it, while Link does have faster reaction speed, Revali actually moves faster. And while Link would certainly win a melee fight due to this also because of armour and specialty in melee weapons, Revali could just have kept raining down bomb arrows after disarming Link’s shield. Also that a sword won’t block a concussive blast like it would a solid arrow
@@jaydenroberts2615 ahh, but that's not just any sword, friend. 😏

Pretty sure they both would've died if Zelda didn't intervene. Revali would've shot Link and Link's sword still would've had enough velocity to kill him

@Commander Fox it didn't cut through it it hit it so it flew up. You gotta know this dude can make stuff slowmo
Link would’ve still parried the arrow. Link far outclasses any other warrior hence why he is able to solo the blightganons and the champions died

Exactly! Don’t understand why Revali has a grudged on him.
@@a.jthomas6132
I have gone over this topic many times to all sorts of people, but I've concluded that Revali begrudges Link because he thinks he is privileged. This is the semi-in depth version:
If you read his Diary and look at the way Hylians have treated others such as the Gerudo in history- Most Hylians are snobbish and self-centred, I'm sure the King's behaviour only proved his notions about Hylians too tbh. Revali thinks Link didn't work for what he has and got his role just because he was a Hylian. In the storyline, you can see Revali worked his aŝs off to become the best Warrior for his clan, to the point where he is in pain from pushing himself- Link on the other hand did train and go through pain, both emotionally and mentally, of course, but had talent from the get-go and fought off Swordmasters by the time he was 10. In the start, Revali wanted to showcase his skills and get respect and recognition from Link, (because even if he would never admit it, that mattered to him-) But Link stood there in silence never smiling or speaking a word to him. In his Diary, you can see Revali translated that as Link being a snob himself and that he was too good to even dignify the conversation with a response. After that Link was on his shït-list basically. I can't fault Revali for his dislike of Hylians as they were very privileged and controlled most everything in Hyrule, but Revali's mistake was his fear and miscommunication along with making assumptions without trying to communicate and understand further. Revali and Link would have probably been best friends if they were able to overcome this, as they both understand pressure and loneliness and how it feels to be trapped in another's expectations. The only thing here is that Revali coped with his problems differently than Link (both coping mechanisms that ultimately weren't healthy.)
Thank you for coming to my Ted talk, and if you couldn't tell, yes Revali is my favourite Champion.
@@BloodInTheStrawberries few likes, but i love your comment, great analysis, sometimes what prives us of a great friendships its The fear to comunicate and do supouses in his stead
What if the reason terrako is so protective of link in that scene was that it knew one of them had the potential to kill the other.
Both could kill each other honestly, my money is on link tho 8/10
Agree. While it's undeniable that Link is much more skillful, especially in melee combat, Revali boasts the unfair advantage of flight
2:09 Revali (and his whole squad) barely defeating a couple Moblins and Bokoblins. Meanwhile BoTW memory #5 shows Link (alone) barely injured after clapping three Silver Lynels and several other monsters. To everyone in the comments debating who would've won the fight I feel like this is enough evidence
Link's strength can be... varied. Sooga knocked him back with just his swords, and Link beat up all those monsters
Flower girl neg diffs link
@@Leeooooooo...To be fair Sooga is kinda a beast himself. Also he has DUAL WIND CLEAVERS DEAR HEAVENS!!!!
So, Link could have also been blasted by the wind too on top of any strength Sooga already had.
@@Starlitsoul0359 True, but that means Revali would be able to somewhat blow him away since he can manipulate wind if he does something like a kick at the same time, and I think we kind of see him kick Link and blow him back anyway. Another example of how Link's strength can vary so much is he parried a giant rock that was about to fall on Zelda at one point
Revali should have BEATEN Windblight Ganon. I can't see how he would lose. He's clearly very skilled.
he is a jerk that is why.
Majorly late but revali didn't have his own bow for the fight, if he did he would've won for sure
@@simplyshoto3396 yeah, if anything is implied in The Champions' Ballad, Revali fought Windblight without his signature Great Eagle Bow
you guys realize how laser cannons right? a laser cannon is just what you need to shoot a bird out of the sky, no matter how skilled they are. all windblight needed was good aim
The rito doesn't see at all during the night and ganon awaken during the night so Revali was really not in a good position
I think Revali knew Link was going to turn arround and he was actually aimming at his hand, but Link deflected the arrow with the hilt of the sword, not the blade, and Revali dind't intent to kill, just disarm him
This comment section is goofy because link would obviously win. Dude can parry guardian beams, stop a full speed Lionel in its tracks with a fling of his arm, and has the master sword. Not to mention he was trying to recruit revali as an ally, not murder him. Also he blocked the arrow whist mid swing and brought the sword to an instantaneous stop because Zelda told them to stop. All this and dude wasn’t even using the master sword or a shield

As much as Falco deniers wanna disregard Revali, I’m quite content he let out a subtle line straight outta StarFox 64.
Revali went toe to toe with Link. That's insane
I love Link and I think he was supposed to parry the arrow, but if you slow down to .25 speed at 1:33 and go frame by frame Revali had already shot the arrow before Link had turned around but the frame after that the arrow moves in a angle away from Link. Link also hadn’t fully turned around to block the arrow yet it makes a ding sound like link parried it. That’s why I think link was supposed to parry it but for some reason didn’t.
The reason for this is because the devs did not intent for the scene to be slowed to .25 speed..
So why animate something the human brain can’t perceive. Or rather, will 100% perceive otherwise if other triggers are set(like the clang noise).
Revali: You maybe think you are good
My mind: *YES YES YES YES. YEEEES!*
Revali: But im better!
Wolf: Thats my bird
Zelda: Hey! We will get sued by nintendo if there is blood and death in this game so, stop please!
Personally I found it annoying that they even fought in the first place. Considering they went to Rito village to recruit Rito's champion the moment the Rito showed hostility they should have either backed down or figured out a way of convincing them their weren't a threat. The fact Impa and Link (I blame Impa more since it was her idea) decided to push through and continue to attack them (at a moment they were vulnerable) completely justifies Revali's 'rudeness' towards Link (and even the others) throughout the rest of Age of Calamity.
After a stunt like that they were lucky Revali even agreed to join them at all.

if you slow it down, unfortunately revali *did* aim the arrow above links head on purpose
Yes but this scene was not played with the intention of being watched on slowmo speed. You can clearly hear the metal clanging sound, indicating that link parried the shot with the small width of the side of his sword. Why would you put extra work into making the arrow go to the sword and launch up, if it would be too hard for a human to process when watching it in normal speed anyway, because the action is already too fast? So it’s not unfortunate, link did parry it. He’s cool like that.
I'm glad i'm not the only one to notice revali misses link on purpose.
love how Revali would legit have just died right there if Zelda hadn't said anything
Revali straight up could have killed Link here. He had his arrow pointed square at the back of Link's head before he even began to turn around, and well before he started to swing his sword. Revali was clearly holding back & could have killed Link if he wanted to. Only the Link fanboys somehow see this scene differently.
Some ppl are even trying to say that he deflected the arrow with his sword but even if you slow the video way down, the arrow is never anywhere near Link's sword. I'm honestly not sure why the arrow does what it does at the end, kind of strange.
That was one sweet ass parry when he came rushing out of the smoke & parried Link's sword & went straight into that arrow shot at the back of his head. Link was a straight up dead man at that point.
Link deflected the arrow. You, clearly, see the arrow leave Revali's bow at a downward trajectory, only to shoot straight up in the air after the, very clear, 'clang' of metal on metal is heard. As per your first point, Revali, clearly, underestimated the speed at which Link would be able to turn around, and react to his attack, indicated by his supreme confidence at the battle being over. If Link hadn't reacted in time, he would be dead. You have no proof, whatsoever, that Revali was, in any way, 'holding back'. That is, pure, speculation, and fanboyism on your part. Purely within the canon of 'Age of Calamity', Revali had to be saved from Windblight Ganon by Teba. By contrast, Link held off all four blights by himself, even being so comfortable as to be on the offensive at multiple points within the battle. If we include the greater canon, (meaning BoTW) Revali is killed by Windblight Ganon, which Link slays after a 100 year slumber. There is no question as to who the superior fighter is, both in this battle, and outside.
Josiah Estremera I think if you see at around 1.33 with 0.25 speed , from link's position it seems like he wouldn't be able to catch up with the arrow. Although the arrow itself just fly in different direction than the bow in immediately after it was released... i don't know, i personally think that revali deliberately fired to the air after hearing zelda's voice. I think if they both give it they all link probably would win, but in this fight it seem like revali does have an upper hand.
@@josiahestremera851 fax
@@ikhwansyatrichahidayatulla7158 Even at 0.25 speed, we can't see every frame of the arrows flight. What we CAN see, however, is the arrow leaving Revali's bow at a downward trajectory, only to shoot straight up, after an audible 'clang'. These are the facts: Revali's bow was pointed downward, the arrow was seen leaving at a downward trajectory, there was an audible 'clang' of metal on metal, (the only other metal between Link, and the arrow being Link's sword) and the arrow, immediately shot up. I think it's very clear that the arrow was deflected. The burden on proof is on those who believe it wasn't. How, then, did the arrow shoot straight up if Revali's bow was pointed down, why was there an audible 'clang'? To believe that Revali, purposely, 'missed', or that Link didn't, in fact, deflect the arrow is in spite of the facts. Note that only you, and skins4thewin are using terms like 'not sure', or 'don't know'. Your point of view carries uncertainty, and requires speculation. My point of view is supported by the video evidence, and facts. I only need point them out.
Josiah Estremera yeah, sure
2:29 temper tantrum
I dont know why it took me so long to realize that if revali wanted he could have killed link, because we can see that in the botw dlc memory revali can shoot 13 targets in about 3 seconds, so if he actually wanted to be fast he could have shot link in the head before link parryed the arrow with his sword
Yes but link can slowmo time when shooting, so he could shoot WAY more than 13 targets in the time of 3 seconds.

Also needs to be in midair
Link needed grappling hook :
I think the main reason Revali lost to windblight ganon was because they were trapped inside medoh. And Revali's strength was to glide as fast as he can while bombarding the enemy with arrows which he can't do inside medoh because of the space
You don’t fight windblight INSIDE medoh tho, you fight outside. He most likely just got cocky and was caught off guard
They never showed botw ravioli fighting windblight, botw ravoli was probably inside and couldn't reach a good vantage point giving him to much to watch out for. His weapons a bow and he need to fly to fight as seen by how he uses the bow. Aoc ravoli was outside so he could still have lost but the odds were more evened out. But then again. Because of botw lack of champion death cutscenes we can't ever know where ravioli dead.
“Are you sure he’s got what it takes.” Lets see he beat the ganon that killed you while he was still weak and remembering how to fight. He also beat the ganons that killed the other champions. He beat calamity ganon. Then he beat the beast it turned into. Yeah he had help with a lot of that, but he’s still kicking while you got solo killed by a fodder version of ganon. If you spent less time talking and more time training, then maybe you’d have survived long enough to see how outclassed you are.
All the delusional ravioli fanboys giving me a headache.
Ravioli was trying to/injure, used dirty tactics, and still lost
Legit every fanboy be saying "LiNk DiDnT pArRy" it's quite obvious he did. Just stop. At least until you can come up with a logical and original argument
I don't think link was fighting to kill him, just for self defense, meanwhile Revali didn't know who he was looking at and thus, was trying to kill him. I think Link would've run him over eventuslly, even without the best eyesight, should he have been trying to kill him
Except that Revali wasn’t better.
Link would have won the fight (he’s just that good), but the scene carries two interesting framings for the Zelda story. Either, Zelda’s very “cry” brings peace (the arrow already released, the sword already moving) OR at Zelda’s cry Link WILL do the “impossible”.
Everyone is still arguing about who won but consider two things:
1: Link would've killed Revali during their battle if he wasn't there to form an alliance with the Rito and help Zelda recruit Revali
A clearly weaker version of the same Link would go on to react to attacks far faster than Revali's arrows and kill the same enemy that ended up killing Revali.
1:35 lol wolf reference
Link is a goddamned beast!!!
He BLASTED Revali into that gate.
Revali is very fast and has great mobility along with powerful ranged attacks the Ganon Blights must have been very fearsome indeed.
for some reason, i think ravali never really tries to injure link or offend him, (he is, but hear me out) what he really tries to do is get a reaction out of him. if you read ravalis diary in botw, you will see that he ponders what goes on in links head. Thats like the one thing ravali doesnt get what he wants

But seriously, the evidence is obvious and the general number of likes on comments backs it up... Link was in no real danger and he wasn't trying to kill Ravioli. That overgrown turkey drumstick, on the other hand most certainly was trying to kill Link. Link is superior in the opinions of true fans and Ravioli's clear display of jealousy proves it, otherwise why be jealous? 😏
“Non canon”??? The events that don’t abuse time travel are canon(i.e this fight), aoc takes place before botw, meaning this fight did happen. It probably explains why Revali is so egotistical towards Link
@@gg_ez69lol63 this game isn't canon to the Zelda timeline. I don't think any of the games called "Hyrule Warriors" are. I don't know, I might be wrong.
@@hannaheverafter Age of Calamity is before Calamity Ganon killed all the champions and before Link slept for 100 years(in other words, past botw). This hyrule warriors is the only one that is canon-esq(only somewhat as there are many times where non-canon things happen)
@@gg_ez69lol63 but they beat ganon in hyrule warriors snd khoga joins them. why would he leave their alliance 100 years later after realizing how bad ganon was? it just doesn’t make sense to the botw timeline.
@@gg_ez69lol63 also nintendo confirmed it to be non canon
Revali's ego wouldn't let him win a fight against Link. He has underestimated him multiple times and probably has no idea what Link is already capable of. His cockiness would be his downfall if they were to fight.
Had Zelda not interfered, I think Revali would have beaten Link. During this scene, Link is not able to even land a hit on Revali, except for at the beginning where he knocked him into the gate. It’s pretty much just link trying not to get hit, which he wouldn’t have been able to keep up since he lost his shield, and there’s no way he would be able to block all of Revali’s arrows with his sword, not to mention bomb arrows. Link was saved by the bell, the bell being Zelda
@Pierre Holguin Martinez ...ok
No, link is my favorite video game character. I even mained him in smash since brawl. I just really think that Revali would have won this fight
@Pierre Holguin Martinez seems like you hate me with all of your tiny whiny guts, friend
plot armor link would have won plot armor i strongly disagree with you
@@amogusboy4395 that is true...you can’t beat plot armor
Bro revali would’ve put link in a body bag 😂 link did not have control of the battlefield in that cutscene…
That’s because link didn’t come for a fight he was basically ambushed plus revali had home advantage and link still managed to deflect that last arrow with no shield.
@@aceofspades3330 my guy…he had enough hang time to fit a one liner revali was throwing him off the whole time I’ll give you home feild advantage but no way if Zelda didn’t interrupt revali wouldn’t have stopped
@@aceofspades3330 also the first rule of invading an area is to come prepared link was not prepared to fight revali
@@roasteddragon1334 link isn’t a hostile character why would he prepare to fight revali when they needed his help they saw link as a threat literally for no reason at all plus if u think link was serious your lying to yourself revali already admitted link was better than him in botw anyways
@@roasteddragon1334 I’m not taking anything away from revali cause he’s strong as well but don’t act like that was a even fight like you said link wasn’t prepared to fight him cause that was never the plan
Epic fight
im no revali finatic, I 100% think link is better but after watching it in 0.25 the arrow goes up before it hit links sword, no Idea what the clinking sound is from because the arrow never goes for it. im sure Link would've blocked the arrow but I dont think he parried it in the actual cutscene
nahh real thing i noticed would the small egg boi warning link have given him an edge? and more so if revali didn't speak. looking back at this now if revali didn't said a word, link wouldn't have reacted fast enough to the already drawn bow which could have easily shot link.
I still wonder how he lost to windblight
Probably being over cocky. Plus Revali’s only real advantage besides being a snipper is flying. If the enemy can fly as well it drastically changes the fight.
Wind blight could’ve just flown towards him tanked a few arrows and killed him.
Like how this ganon is way more powerful than botw ganon, windblight should also be way more powerful than botw ganon. And i believe its not as of a pushover as botw.
I'd say it's because they were caught completely off guard when the calamity hit. They were all the way over at Lanayru Promenade at the time, and Revali had to fly across pretty much the entire map to reach Medoh. By the time he actually arrived, he would have been exhausted, not to mention the fact that the guardians turning against them would've caught them even *more* off guard - and who knows how many of them Revali would've had to fight off on his journey to get back to Medoh. Keep in mind that right up until it was far too late, it was always assumed that the guardians would be Link's personal escort army as he rushed the castle to take on Ganon - just as it went 10,000 years prior.
So by the time Revali arrived, supplies would be low, he'd be tired, he was pretty unprepared.
Man Revali truly is a jerk. Link should fight him again so that Revali can learn a lesson in humility.
1: They were killing his people and invading his home town so his anger is completely justified, 2: Link would get cooked because Revali can shoot 13 targets in 3 seconds. 3: He has bomb arrows with a multi shot bow so he can hit a larger area. 4: Link can’t use bullet time because he needs some sort of height to activate it. 5: Revali is way too fast for Link
GODDAMMIT ZELDA!!!
@Link any TRUE fan knows it. 😏
He's still calling him a pathetic knight when link parried that arrow with his fcking sword and losing to windblight. And link freed revali and vah medoh. If they continued revali would have sword wounds all in his back 😂
Link fucking paried the arrow with the blade of his sword. Revali would've failed anyways
Tbh I feel like revali stopped the arrow going full force so idk if link truly by himself did this feat.
Revali missed the arrow on purpose and y'all can't convince me otherwise. The sound was just for dramatic effect. Don't @ me
Nice to see link really would have beaten revali
1:27 *LINK PARRIED THAT* but revalu did that for the next target (Zelda)
1:33 why do people keep saying link parried the arrow? Slow it down, and you can see in this exact moment the arrow is already above his head before link even swung his sword
istg I can hear Diluc
Who else wants him to join smash
Bro I WANTED A DEATH BATTLE DAMN IT
1:29 revali would've turned into kfc frfr
Link is better than revali
no
@@thedukeconiosantiago9180 yes
@@ConfusedButRight no
@@thedukeconiosantiago9180 yes!
@Pierre Holguin Martinez eh nah, you need to read his diary to understand him better lmao. besides link is just a robot.
1:30
Revali:Good bye you sack of shi-
*Parried*
Revali:(Chuckles nervously)Heeyyy I’m a reasonable and calm guy why don’t we discuss this hehe
Link:You ever hear how fried chicken is made?
Revali:Let’s not be so aggressive here 😅😅😅
Link:(Sheaths sword)
Revali:See?Calm and reasonable like I thought you’d be!
Link:Step one of the recipe…
TENDERIZE THE CHICKEN!!!
Revali:Wai wai wait!!! No No No!!!
bro revali is so cocky, if link completed that last swing he would have been dead.
You are good but im better. What is this star wolf?
revali thinks he is him, he is revali not him, link is him
Lol at these comments.
The link wank is crazy
Yes reval if had the intent to kill he would of won this cutscene fight And let me explain why.
At
1:12 reval gets rid of link shield
1:13 reval literally has link in a position where he could of shot him dead but what does he do instead?
1:14 He shoots explosive arrows missing on purpose. Note link does not react to the attack at all meaning if reval actually shot him head on with real arrows link would of checked.
Link only reacts to the attack atfer the explosions start going off and hitting the ground.
So yes if reval was serious the fight would of ended here. Y’all can stop saying link “ won” this cutscene fight because they were both either holding back or only reval was holding back.
And btw at 1:24 the only reason why link reacted to the attack was because reval took the chance to gloat by saying “ but I’m better”
If reval didn’t do that link would of just got shot.
So It’s clear that reval cocky attitude was his downfall as he gloating about his abilities the whole fight looking down on link. If y’all stopped being link fanboys just for a second and payed attention you can see that link would of lost at two points during this fight.
Now this is only for the cutscene fight we have no idea what happened during the gameplay fight but it’s clear link had the advantage somehow.
However because we have nothing to go off of other than link having the advantage I can’t really tell if link was holding back or serious. The only person we know that was holding back clearly is reval because he was playing with his food.
Link fighting to kill has been seen with all the blights and monsters take links abilities in botw and apply them hear. Link can dodge thunder blight canon during the speed marage dance thing it does. If that link whos the same link as this one in a weakened state then wouldn't link here do the same? Link is also blinded yet only hears a few words that's not enough to just attack the person in the exact direction they come from which is what link actually did. Link here isn't serious and isn't going for the kill but still used his precise reaction time. Link also turns and parries the arrow. Though people say link should have got shot anyway because of the party angle link still parried it regardless. Ravioli shot before zelda said to stop. Meaning the battle eas becoming life or death. And link again fights thunder blight canon in his weakened state making peak link from aoc even more capable. Also I dont like link much compared to other characters but I have to give him all of his abilities anyway because if you think this is enough to put down link I'm sorry but thats just a bad conparison.
Ok but how did link beat windbligt gannon
@@NicklausHaynie because wind blight ganon needed to be close to the divine beast on order to keep control of it, so in the end range was wind blights downfall, also in age of calamity wind blight doesn't need to be in medoh because its not possessing it so it can move freely.
So in other words all the blights are at their peak when not possessing the divine beasts bit the still have lost of their power its just wind blight ganon who got the most nerfed.
Lol people are really claiming that the guy who was killed by WindBlight, would’ve have beaten the guy who destroyed WindBlight 🤣
Slow it down linger than 0.25 and you'll see a diferent story, thre was no parry, the arrow just decides to change routes... Links arm was not even close and Revali did not change aim either... The arrow decided that down was up or Revali flicked or the animators got lazy... But that metal sound was off or it was just ther for special effect and drama.
1:25 Powned!!!
It wwwhhhhhhaaaaaaaaat
IT WHAAAAAT?
STOWP PLEASE
Wait, does he not wear pants?
😊😊😊
Revali had Link dead to rights. Zelda saved Link's life.
No he didn't, Link parried his arrow 1:33 you could hear the clash of the metal arrow against Links sword. Link parried the arrow because Revali still shot it despite Zelda saying stop. That just shows you how much he really dislikes Link
@@aherosshowcase1945 Dang, he sure did... You even see the arrow flying away from the sword. Huh.
Yeah, Zelda saved him. There was nothing Link could really do to attack Revali. And just because he blocked the arrow doesn’t mean he would have won.
@@danielt7708 Link would've closed in on him at that point. Link's reflexes are basically the best in Hyrule. My boy deflected an entire arrow, mind you all Link needed to do was take a step closer and thrust his sword. Revali has amazing speed so he might've dodged it, but if he were to get in close to Link at any point, Link would counter and close in for the kill. The only thing Revali has over Link and the other champions is the fact that he can fly. Although against Urbosa, he'd still lose a fight
@@danielt7708 besides, link might've lost his shield, but it's not like he couldn't have gotten it back, considering how Revali fights Link would've had time to grab his shield and continue the fight
Nobody can beat link 🔥 not even goku
