Who would win a Death Battle? Connections: Iconic Nintendo protagonists that save princesses from evil kings.
Mario
Link
Look Mario has objectively better feats in almost everything but he also dies if he runs into an enemy twice. I am going with Link because he can take more damage and he has a sword.
What is Link gonna do when Mario picks up to invincibility star?
Dodge until it runs out, I guess. Those things only last for a like a minute, right?
Would Link have enough time to out run it?
Well, the Link in the picture is Breath of the Wild Link. So this Link is shown to have incredible reflexes and an amazing ability to dodge. Combine that with the Hylian shield, which can take a stupid amount of damage, and I think he can probably dodge or block long enough for it to run out.
We are also compositing Link to every mainline game, so that might help him more.
If this is a composit Link then Iâm even more inclined to give it to Link. According to Skyward Sword the Hylian Shield is unbreakable so Link now has an unbreakable defense.
If weâre giving him every item then he also has multiple items that can match Marioâs invincibility star. The Magical Armor from Twilight Princess and Nauruâs Wisdom from Ocarina of Time come to mind. He also gains a number of hax abilities that make the fight even more unfair, like the ability to rewind time.
Assuming you only meant physical stats, Link still gains all of the training that SS Link went through and all the techniques that the Hero of Time developed.
I once saw someone claim TP Link dodged light speed lasers from the Beamos but I find that one difficult to believe.
We are also compositing Mario to every mainline game as well.
Mario has a likely equally ridiculous amount of hax available to him in that case and far better feats. He kicked an actual castle a ridiculous distance away once off the top of my head.
I still feel like this comes down to Linkâs ability to dodge and block. If Mario gets a single hit in he should win. But neither opponent is just going to stand there and let the other person hit.
If thatâs how itâs gonna be can we give Mario multiple lives?
Sure! That actually sounds really fair. After all, even just Wild era Link has multiple methods of resurrecting himself, Miphaâs Grace and fairies. So itâs only fair that Mario gets his extra lives.
How does three lives for Mario and one use of Miphaâs Grace and one fairy for Link sound? I think that puts them at an equal amount of revivals.
Yeah that sounds fair.
