For those asking... YES, an updated version of this video is in the works, including Tears of the Kingdom! Stay tuned...
I feel like with The Hero of Wild getting an update he's gonna to be one of if not the strongest of the links
I can only assume Hero of the Wild is the strongest because he can make stealth bombers and mechs.
Here I am waiting for Wild to build a mecha when fighting against other Links
night be worth mentioning the prequel to breathe of the wild, age of calamity
Take all the time you need. We are willing to wait a month, and spoilers are still relevant about The new characters.
10 months is a bit long tho.
"Twilight Princess was obviously this Link's first and only adventure" SOMEone hasnt played Link's Crossbow Training
Peepo best zelda game
Peepo FACTS
@Peepo lol links crossbow training was so boring
Bunny Rupers he was being sarcastic
@@thewizardbusiness6788 i know lol
If the moon was crashing into hyrule in BOTW, link would just parry it with a pot lid into the sun.
Or dont time it correctly so he has to load a new file and try it again
@@submazuschauer9711 LMAO and see a black screen with words, "You've met with a terrible fate, haven't you?"

OH MY GOD YES!
Love how Gannon is defeated "once and for all" several times during this video
And we can blaim that all on demise
Actually, Gannon is only defeated once in this video as future appearances were spelled Ganon 🤓
in THAT timeline, not the other timelines
There are at least 3 Ganondorfs, each of which produced at least 1 Gannon/Ganon, and there are 3 timelines with the 2nd Ganondorf/Ganon. So plenty of room to defeat a Ganon once and for all.
If it's unclear - the first Ganondorf is the one from TotK that is retroactively placed at the founding of the kingdom of Hyrule sometime after Skyward Sword. The second Ganondorf is the one we see in OoT. Four Swords Adventures is said to have a Ganondorf who reincarnated, which would be a 3rd. Though debated (due to Miyamoto claiming there is only one Ganon despite that clearly being false even then) and exclusive to that timeline.
The various phantom Ganons are technically Ganons, but most people wouldn't count them as they're minions of another Ganon. I'm also going to keep chains of Ganon (ie. revived or attempted to revive) together. So we have:
- Calamity Ganon and his transformations from Ganondorf 1. This is technically defeated for the final time in BotW, but only because of how TotK ended.
- Ganon from OoT which is defeated once and for all at the end of OoT in the Adult Timeline (separate from Ganondorf's defeat once and for all in Wind Waker)
- That same Ganon from OoT is killed in the Downfall Timeline in LttP. You could argue what Twinrova brought back in the Oracle games was a separate mindless beast, but it's the same Ganon in body at least. Link Between Worlds revives him arguably as a separate Yuga Ganon, but it's still from the same origin and mind. Again, revived and killed in the original game, and revived again in the game over screen of Zelda 2. You could argue the original Zelda is this one's "once and for all" but they could always stick another on the end of this timeline.
- The Child Timeline has a new incarnation of Ganon that briefly comes into existence in Twilight Princess before being destroyed, and then Ganondorf 2 that it derived from is killed in that timeline.
- Also in the Child Timeline, Ganondorf 3 is introduced in Four Swords Adventures, who gathers a trident and other powerful artifacts to become a new Ganon, which is sealed in the Four Sword (NOT defeated once and for all).
So that's 5 separate Ganons, 3 of which are defeated once and for all, with the other 2 either sealed away or getting revived with no indication that someone can't just revive them again. Ganondorf 2's OoT Ganon might get revived in the Downfall Timeline, and Ganondorf 3's Ganon might get unsealed in the Child Timeline.
@@Merennullibro don’t even try with the time lines we all know that they don’t care about staying true to the timelines
And now Link is at his most powerful.
He is able to commit warcrimes against Koroks
Yea hero of the wild is the strongest
The hero of war crimes
I would say Hero of Wilds is now third most powerful with totk. Yes, he’s much more powerful than he was in botw, but if you just look at what the Hero of Time and Hero of Legend can do, it’s just not even comparable. Don’t get me wrong, Hero of the wild is my favourite in the series, but putting aside personal bias, there’s no way he’s actually the most powerful
@@calebjp8904while I agree with oot link(fierce deity), i think that hero of legends is actually debatable now(he still wins but its a conversation)

yeah this video is extremely speculative and arbitrary.....

I love how being able to jump is a huge accomplishment for any Link.
wind waker link had to commit deforestation just to walk through a gap of trees that he could've easily pushed across, being able to jump is a huge accomplishment for him.
@@JimMilton-ej6zi Wind waker Link is hilarious if you think about it, in wind waker, he basically just starts as a boy on an island and his only motivation was to save people, he picked up a sword with no training whatsoever and immediately learnt how to properly use a sword from orca. He picked up a baton and immediately knew how to conduct. He sailed across the great sea determined to find his sister/ save the princess. He had to force the gods to choose him by finding all the tri force shards. Then later he goes an establishes an entire new Hyrule with Tetra and STILL gets treated like an idiot. (Also he can do a cool trick with his eyes in pictomode)
The reason it is is because all other links are secretly obis
The fact that most Links can't jump shows how much of a skill it is.
Plus: Are uou seeing those jumps?? Most are jumping higher then they are tall!
Hero of time: can have the power of a god
Hero of sky: can defeat the source of all evil
Hero of spirits: haha train go chukuchukuchuku
spirit tracks link: proceeds to snipe them with train canons
Still waiting for zelda airliner where you take control of a blimp
Hero of Winds: Let’s go sailing!
Also Hero of the Wild: Has his own champion ability allowing him to move faster than the blink of an eye
@@cloudcomics3488 wait what
A conversation between Links:
Link: "So what makes you so special?"
Link: "I can jump."
Link: "Okay, and?"
Link: *"Without* using an item."
Link: _"Understandable, have a nice day."_
WHO IS WHO
Hero of legend and Hero of the wild
except all we can hear is Hyah's
Link: "Man, I didn't even get to the climbing. . ."
CDI Link: "I can talk."
I would like to add that the hero of winds can't just use weapons 3 times his size, he can also chuck them a whole football field in front of him with ease. That's mildly concerning for a kid who lived on an island his whole life.
Y que pasa con young link la espada de majoras mask?
@@YeeticusTheGameri think so?
Who cares have you played Ocarina of Time or A link to the past?
@@dailthegoat799 yeah, and i wasn't saying the hero of the winds is the strongest by any means, i just thought it was funny how he can chuck giant weapons with ease💀
Zeltik: Talks about how the hero of the sky beat demise in single combat.
Also Zeltik: Puts him in the third last place.
fr that's something I don't understand 😭 he's the only one that has fought the demon god who originated all the other ganon's. Dude literally fought a god TWICE and won both times 😭 I would've thought he's one of the strongest
“He wasn’t chosen by the gods, he forced the gods to choose him” easily one of the most badass links there is

I love how the ability to jump is treated like this "almighty power" that very few Links can do.
Imagine kid links playing together and one of them goes
"I'm stronger than y'all"
"Wha? How?"
"I can....jump"
*Gasp*
Believe it or not but jumping non stop forever can be quite the challenge
@@EthanWintersLeftHand m o o n j u m p
I know. Like obviously Link can jump?? We just don't have the ability as players.
I mean… have you ever tried to jump without bending your legs?
I think one thing that was left out on the Hero of Time was when he was a kid he could take the impact of falling rocks from Death Mountain and keep going. All he had to do is crouch down and let it hit him on his back with the shield and he just kept going.
Also just the fierce deity mask alone makes him into a dark god.
Yes and realistically when he crouches there is more of a force acting upon him due to the rocks pressing onto the shield and onto his back, this makes him stronger than he already is (durability wise)
Then most of the Links could just fall in lava and wake up line if nothing happened
the hero of legend could also take rocks far larger than those in ocarina and did not need a shield, he just took full on impact and it hardly affected him
Or the fact that the hero of twilight could turn into a freaking wolf , and teleport objects in to drop on enemies 😂
It’s amazing that Shigeru Miyamoto and his team could take one character and create such a broad spectrum of adventures and character abilities across the games. It would have been easy to make each game a rehash of the one that came before it, but they’ve managed to make each one unique for going on 37 years now. Not many franchises can stay so culturally relevant for so long. Kudos to them.
welcome to incarnation stories, stories with incarnated characters are some of the best stories out there *cough* bible *cough*
"He wasn't a hero chosen by the gods. This Link forced the gods to choose him. He dragged the Triforce of Courage up from the bottom of the ocean and forged it back together."
This is the most amazing, badass description of the cutest Link, the Hero of Winds.
Wind Waker Link is the best one for me, boi was badass enough to go with unknown pirates to rescue his sister and got tangled up in an adventure to save the lost kingdom of Hyrule, showing himself worthy of the gods, embodying the hero of time guided by the king himself, went exploring the unknown ocean to create a new land of Hyrule and had to fight a phantom octopus on the way to save tetra and all of this started on his birthday lol
I dont like windwaker link
@@shrampywampy 😂
Whenever I think of wind waker link I think of the time this tiny little link lifted boulders 10x his size!
he's my favorite :)
You basically spent about 5 minutes explaining why BOTW Link is an all-round badass, and then give him an average rating.
@Colton Lopez Ok proxy account.
True
It is gonna be fierce deity link
Use time stasis on Fierce deity. Maybe use the magnesus to remove the mask? Regardless, he could just fast travel away and wait for him to take it off. Or just use his motorcycle and keep driving. Or strike his head with lightning. Or have Fierce Deity use his strongest attack and use the Gorons defense, reflecting it on him. He can also use fairy's every time he "dies" and come back. He could also use Miphas grace and get full regen. We also aren't even at the end of his journey, he can still grow far stronger.
Sloth from The Goonies I believe his should have max everything
There is something that I would like to point out, in Majora's Mask if you buy the Chateau Romani's Milk it gives Link infinite magical power (until the moon falls or you play the song of time to go back to when you first leave the clocktower) So wouldn't this milk along with Naru's love and Fierce Diety's Mask give more of an edge towards the hero of time than the hero of legend?
No , hero of legend link is literally invincible when he uses his cape and can even attack in that state too
@@theoriginal3362 The hero of time can be invincible too, with Nayru's love. It costs a ton of magic but combined with chateau for infinite magic he can basically be invincible indefinitely.
@@LilacMonarch chat does this mean he can beat the hero of legend then?
The hero of time would win.
You raise a really good point. But let's assume chateau Romani last 3 days right, since that's how it works in Majora's mask. I wonder what's stopping alttp link from running out the clock? He could run away with the cape, and chug mana potions to effectively hide until the effects wear off. He's a smart Link, with the most experience. Or a better question is could the silver arrows pierce nayrus love? They are designed to kill ganon, in more than one game. Just saying, there room for discussion! Is a good way!
Honestly i think i have to give it to Link here. Their power and movesets makes them a lot more powerful in comparison to Link
fr like hes so strong
NoNo you've got it wrong, it's obvious that link is the most powerful. He has a legendary Sword, and is the hero of his entire world- link just doesn't compare. This definitely means that link would absolutely destroy link in a 1v1
Well actually link would be more strong since he had a powerful sword and shield as well as managing to save the world, meaning link would be pitiful in comparison, its clear link is stronger than link, link, or link
"He" not "they". "They" refers to a group, not one person. Singular pronouns are "he" and "she" there is no in-between.
That moment when jumping immediately makes you more powerful than generations worth of heroes
*High Ground Intensifies*
Well all the 3d links can jump just not on command.

@@Sebastian_A_Var_Herman same
I pretty much liked this comment to make it 100 likes
What minute is that
@@albertobe3339 it was when we was covering toon link from wind waker
Between the Hero of Time and the Hero of Legend, I'd give the edge to the latter. Yes, the Hero of Time trained the Hero of Twilight, but the Hero of Legend is more than hinted to be Gramps from A Link Between Worlds, and serves as both the hardest (optional) boss in the game and as the behind the scenes mentor for the Link of that age. All of that as an old man, so it's clear he's passed down a significant legacy of warrior training.
And most convincingly--he succeeds specifically where the Hero of Time falls. He cleaned up a Ganon with the FULL triforce that Ganon got by DEFEATING the Hero of Time, which IMHO solidly places him in the number one spot.
However, don't forget the Hero of Time has the Fierce Deity's mask.
Hero of time lives in a timeline, then gets godlike powers
I think that if we talk about the Link of Skyward Sword, he also can gain a lot of experience with the spiritual trials of each piece of the triforce, and also he can rematch against his enemies in the thunder dragon's trial...

"As brave as you are, that does not make you immortal"
Tell that to Mipha's Grace and the 10 fairies I crammed into my underwear.
And you can still carry more fairies (up to 20/21)
Don't forget the literal banquet he can stow away inside his clothes.
Underwear?
Oh the poor poor fairy.
That's gotta smell after a while.
w-wait... link keeps the Fairies i-in a j-j-jar? oh no, oohhhh no
Боян Върбанов Link from Botw would definitely be the most powerful. And plus after the sequel he might be even more powerful. Stasis plus is so overpowered
For me, Link is the strongest among all the Links.
So true
I agree
Whatever link is better
But is link as good as link?
Nah link is far superior to link
Reminder that the Hero of the Wild managed to learn how to do infinite sky jumps, become immortal to survive over 500 explosions, learned how to attune himself to the very earth, how to detach himself from the very earth and *split time* out of sheer spite and desire to kick a smug bird in his cloaca
i hope this is satire
He still isn’t beating a full tri force Ganon buddy
If you are counting glitches then hero of time can complete the game with a rock.
He references Kleric. A man of culture 🤝
@@Fake_blader Yes,yes he is, he can.
I guessed Fierce Deity Link, but imagine my pleasant surprise when my favorite Link, the Hero of Legend, ended up comparable. The Links from my two favorite Zelda games side-by-side, I love it.
We all know who’s the strongest link: Mario Kart Link
true
yes... praise the banana throwing link
😂
Toady Hoady you mean deluxe
But isn’t Mario kart link Twilight Princess/ BOTW Link?
Not only did he kill a Guardian with a pot lid, he is more than capable of killing Calamity Ganon with a backpack full of sticks .
His most dangerous technique is bringing a cuco.
That link took pity.
Hahahhaha
@@brotbrotsen1100 I understood that reference. Glory to General Clucks!

I know it’s unusual, but my first LOZ was Twilight Princess, and to this day, most others have felt far too cartoony to be taken as seriously as I took TP, BOTW and TotK have brought me great joy at matching that kind of darkness!
No link can surpass my wolf boy
Most people's favorite was their first, mine being OoT lol
@@joshmakarenko5809 My first was MM but TP link just has so much more character depth than the other links, he's even the great grandson of OOT link and carried on OOT links legacy so he's easily my favorite.

i love it the n64
That's honestly the great thing about totk and botw, they show that you can make a serious story without the game itself looking dark and gloomy.
Everybody gangsta until TOTK Link shows up with BOTW abilities.

@@keronmoreyjr8681 Well, in the Master Sword cutscene it's explicitly an item that they carry around that lets him shift forms, and he included Goron, Zora, and Deku Link (as well as the Giant mask even though that can only be used in a single boss fight)
Wolf link is rlly physically strong.... also..... twilight link didn’t do this but which link did the golden deadlift
I feel like the Hero of Time takes the title with the advantage that Romani Milk provides. Infinite magic + Fierce Diety Mask should manage to take out any competition.
I feel like Age of Calamity alone would bump up the Hero of the Wild drastically.
Yeah and also botw link although doesn't have magic or very strong strength like golden gauntlets he's still way stronger than most and has both tech and magic relics on his side!
He has the bow of light that shoot infinite light arrows and doesn't break,shikea tech like lightsaber swords,shields,one shot arrows, infinite bombs form his shikea slate, freeze people in time for a minute or two and armor and he has master sword, Hyilan shield and armors that give him immunity to all three elements, fire,ice and light and that plus food that can enhance his physically capabilities further!
We already knew he is strong and skilled. He doesn’t get any more tools in AoC, and he only gets experience for killing Calamity once (because they are alternate timelines towards the end). Age of Calamity would not change anything here.
Tears of the Kingdom death machines are another story, if they count.
@@loupandsnoop TotK would stack in his favor massively, and I’m talking Age of Calamity because it lets us visualize just how ridiculous his feats are. Sweeping through armies like nothing while moving at breakneck speed would be crazy
1) We already knew he did that.
2) We already knew he could slay giants with a wooden spoon.
3) If AoC moveset buffs his crowd-clearing ability, then the first hyrule warriors equally buffs hero of wind, time, twilight, and skies. Hero of legends already has 3 different screenwipes, so he doesn’t care.
AoC doesn’t change much, because BotW literally starts with a synopsis of AoC.
If you include totk then you have to include the dupe glitches
Hero of the wild: Can literally not only stop a Lynels rush in an instant but also make it recoil with only a shield and his left arm
This dude: Meh, a five.
He can also move several times faster than he chooses to, as ahown by the flurry rish
Plus he can swim up any waterfall, ride bears, wield any weapon he finds, defeat a giant bubbly Hinox in the dark, create flying machines, shield surf, parry Guardians, take selfies, cook food and potions, resurrect horses, drop rocks on Koroks, solve labyrinths, have all his inventory taken away, defeat Ganon the moment he leaves the Great Plateau, and go absolutely anywhere at any moment.
But, yeah, average Link.
OOT link with gauntlets can pick up your house and throw it at you.
Twilight link won a sword lock with canon with the triforce of power. Hero of the wild hasn't done anything to that lmao
@@bluenitethewarrior9332
Has that Link beaten Calamity Ganon with a stick?
*I think not*
WW link: *pulls master sword*
OoT link: "how old are you?"
WW link: "im a kid"
OoT link: *looks up* "WHY DID I HAVE TO WAIT 7 YEARS, WHEN HE CAN JUST PULL THE THING OUT"
Actually, you're right. Thanks for ruining my childhood lmao
OoT Link was just the chosen (read:spoiled) hero of the gods, while WW Link is the badass link that forced the gods to choose him. Of course he can pull out that sword if he just wants to.
Ganondorf had killed the sages, weakening the master sword significantly
din: eh we decided to be pricks
nayru: yeah
farore: sorry man
hylia: im fucking dead
If we go by age then WW link is around the same age of Majora's Mask Link (10-11) not Oot Link (9-10) because he was too young to use certain items properly like bow and shield so he was little older.
If we go by lore the master sword in WW was under powered because the sages were dead.
If we go by difficulty then Oot had more dungeons, monsters and a Ganondorf that ruled over 7 years and had the triforce, while in WW we had fewer dungeons not under the influence of Ganondorf that recently escaped and didn't had the triforce in the final battle.
I think it check ups
The hero of trains was literally just vibing for the whole game wasnt he?
Just discovered these videoes and really enjoy it. I would love if you add like a "re-cap"-screen in some form at the end showing all of them in the final ranking.
“This link is a *beast* !”
*4/10*
Missy Duffy my thoughts exactly
Definitely BOTW Link. The dude can eat 56 apples in one go. He can ragdoll down a mountain and survive. He can wear a Gerudo's outfit and look fabulous. He can combine monster teeth, nerve and all, and eat it. He can squat by a fire for half a day. And most powerful of all... he can make dad jokes.
🤣🤣🤣
he ate 2 0 0 apples in a sitting in my playthrough
What about the part where he defeats Ganon 45 minutes after he wakes up and still naked? Or the fact that he can shield bounce across Hyrule in a single bound? Or that he can toss trees through the air or fly on mine carts? I feel like he got the short shrift in this video. Lol
Absoluty right!
Consume all the forbidden fruit!!
If you want to count the manga (I know there's several manga out for all of the different timelines, this is just the only one I've read a little bit of) The Hero of Twilight is actually a trained knight who was able to easily defeat all of his peers thanks to his left-handedness and general prowess. This also gives an explanation as to how he could rival a goron in strength amongst other things.
"the hero of sky, who's just a kid from an island" my mans was a student at the knight academy though
"Breath of the Wild's link is a beast"
*Only fills the bar up halfway*
True
He needs to save space for the sequel
KHB 2312 true
I think he honestly doesn't give him enough credit :( he can slow down time a lot which not many links can do and I find the most powerful ability
How do you think I feel. Skyward sword link beat demise, the sorce of all evil, and king of the monsters, so he would be the strongest enamy link can face, yet he only fills up the bar half way.
“He can summon thunder, earthquakes, he’s invulnerable to all damage and can lift giant boulders and dinosaurs. And he can jump”

The pure fact that the Hero of Time is known about and regarded as a legendary hero in multiple games speaks VOLUMES to how purely strong he was, even while nobody knows that he quite literally turned to a GOD containing the hopes and dreams of everyone in an entire parallel world, and then defeated an all-powerful malevolent entity mask..
also, the Hero of Time can become a giant. also, he can just grab himself a slightly alcoholic magic milk drink and get infinite magic.
zeltik missed some shiet
You forgot about literally all of the shrines that the Hero of the Wild did
that's almost 140 trials
& all the armors, which when including upgrades and set bonuses make Link damn near invincible.
And all the stamina and health you can have also even if you don’t have all the hearts and stamina you can have there is still the golden extra life and extra golden stamina bar
And the arsenal of ice, fire and electric weapons.
Also, ignored the experience PRIOR to the game, like the whole "ELIMINATING SINGLE-HANDEDLY LEGIONS OF ENEMIES TO PROTECT ZELDA"
And he fought ganon 6 times in a single quest (after all, the blights are Ganon).
Oh. And HE CAN COOK. FOR FUCK SHAKE HE CAN COOK. Ok that one's a joke.
Or is it?

And the fact that he is damn well invincible with all of the full regeneration meals that he can make with 60 minute (I think) insane defense or attack or elemental resistance potions

Yes! XD
I also love how 4 Swords Link can use a Chain Chomp, which is a Mario reference that we all got
Mario is a God
@@king_helion8342 technically they are called Bow Wows in Zelda

I grew up with a GameCube, so seeing the hero of time end up so high in the list felt great. Thanks for making this video. Have a good day
You have very good points but the hero of time will forever reign as top dog in my books. Great video!!
Talking about Twilight Princess Link-
“In terms of raw, physical strength this Link is an absolute beast.”
*I see what you did there.*
Yeah :l
Cool
i do too mr sublime beast.
i don't get it
@@jvsfyt twilight link can turn into a wolf
Botw link can literally kill Ganon naked with an inventory of sticks.
Also botw link uses regular sticks not deku sticks so stop comparing them deku sticks are obviously going to be stronger than regular sticks you find on the floor.
And toon link can summon a deadly cyclone with a 4 inch piece of metal.
@@firewolf595 botw literally can slow down time to almost haulting it
so can the hero of time lol you clearly dont know they power of the deck stick
FAAACTS
BOTW link can stop time mid air while shooting an arrow, making his accuracy almost perfect.
Glad you got this right and definitively answered this question for all time.
And, yes, I like the Hero of Legend best. 😛
Loved games when you upgrade the master sword. ^^ I also forgot how powerful link to past link is
imagine murdering the literal source of all evil in a 1 on 1 sword fight after training as a knight most of your life and then losing to multiple different 10 year olds, one of which's power is just to become smol.
Idk man, one of those 10 year olds also had a sword fight with evil incarnate and later gained a time stopping power that could make DIO shudder
And a ten year old can become a deity and cut the moon I half sooo
@@Hirabeatz yeah but the winner ended up having a dehydrated fever dream and died in the middle of the ocean
@@macafromthewired yeah hero of time should have won imo
We have a kid who with the help of a companion fairy can stop all time for a few seconds, and with the swordsmans scroll they’ll be a dio beyblade
“he forced the gods to choose him” that’s a terrifyingly raw line to come from a video like this
TIL toon link is an absolute madman
@@katatonikbliss Hes insane he literally forced the gods to choose him, put the triforce of courage back together, faced gannon head on with only a few distractions, did a jump in the end fight to put Cristiano Ronaldo's jump to shame, and rebuilt a new version of hyrule for BOTW link. He is def not the strongest but hes an effing monster when it comes to willpower. All because his sister got taken away by a sub par miniboss bird.
@@ULayzee wtf does wind waker have to do with botw???
@@wkkqewqaver7766 well I messed up, I meant the great plateau, but that's literally Zelda lore. At the ending cutscene he probably made the great plateau and that was their Hyrule since real Hyrule was under water. He literally made an artificial island my guy. BOTW is over a few thousand years ago after the water level dropped and revealed the rest of Hyrule, so there is evidence to support it.
@@ULayzee did Nintendo say this?
The Twilight Princess Link has been in another game, it was after his adventures, he decided to run a successful shooting range
Great video! Needs an update with the new abilities from totk
Hero of legend: i fear no man. But that thing...
Points at a cute little chicken
Hero of legend: it scares me
Really all link had to do was take a chicken and throw it at Gannon. Gannon hits chicken. Gannon is killed in an event that makes all the Birds movies look like a walk on the park
Hero of wild can use chicken as weapon
The best part is that your right
So does The Hero of Time.
CHICKENS ARE DEADLY. THEY HAVE THE BLOOD OF DINOSAURS. THEY WILL NOT HESITATE TO KILL YOU
You forgot to mention the vast variety of armors that BoTW Link can wear for various effects. And that well, he isn't afraid to kill enemies in their sleep. A fighter willing to play dirty does count for something.
Breithe Nua, An Aspy Gamer Or drop bombs from a high ground and keep chipping away at their health until they eventually die.
The wild is the wild, you gotta do what you gotta do to survive. *It’s kill or be killed out there*
@@momononon my favourite thing to do is if I come up on a camp on top of a mountain is to freeze the enemies while they sleep then throw a bomb and knock them off the mountain.
A dishonorable hero hero would get negative points.
CHIVALRY FTW
BotW Link can also EAT ROCKS AND WOOD, which I would argue make his physical attributes stronger than pretty much any other Link. He can also jump from very tall places while taking not too much fall damage. And the best thing: HE DOESNT NEED SLEEP.
He also has fairies to his disposal, which, in theory, allow him to come back from the dead indefinitely so long as he can restock on them from time to time. You would never get a game over.
He can also jump on LAVA without dying. Sure, he takes damage, but still, it's more impressive than Mario.
He also still has boomerangs, he can skip time with firecamps, he can fast travel, magic rods, a wider arrow variety than other Links and can carry more arrows than any other Link. A bigger variety of bombs whose carry amount is infinite, since they are the rune. He can also identify enemies from a distance with the camera. He can also attack on the water with the help of the Zora Helmet, a feat few Links can do.
I think Zeltik severely underrated BotW Link
Im surprised the iron boots werent considered as a boost for the Hero of Twilight's strenght
You seem to forget the fact that the Hero of Time has the Ocarina of Time that can literally control the flow of time as seen in Majora's Mask
And that's not even counting the fact he has the power of an ancient dark god that puts even Majora in his place with 0 effort, and who's full extent of his power and strength can't even properly be shown because he just dogs on all the bosses like a walk in the park.
Great video though I thoroughly enjoyed it
Yeah, he kinda got a bit dodgy in the end there. I'd guess he's just not as familiar with OOT and MM, as there were some obvious misses.
Wind waker link really is just doing his thing.
“I wasn’t chosen by the gods? They don’t have a choice.”
“I’m just a little kid? I can wield massive weapons better than large monster warriors can without augmentations.”
“Seal Ganon away? Why don’t I just *kill* him.”
Save Zelda? Fuck that, I'm gonna save my sister.
Ganon: "You fool !You may seal me now, but i will come back in a few yea- Hey ! HEY ! What are you doing ?! No ! That's not how that was supposed to happen !"
as a toon link fan i extremely agree with you
Link is actually an adult in the windwaker because windwaker takes place in the adult timeline
@@airtiger4577 the adult timeline is the timeline where Adult Link (Ocarina of Time) sealed Ganon and was sent back in time to relive his childhood, creating the child timeline and leaving the adult timeline with no Link, so Wind Waker Link is not an incarnation of him and he is just 12 years old.
The most powerful Link? The link in the description.
Wow. . .that's amazing😂

Can you imagine if a fangame was made including all of these different Links at their full power battling against each other in an arena and it was multiplayer so you could get your friends to join in and play as their favorite Link
If I wasn't braindead when it comes to modding I'd do something like smash bros with sets like Wild Link having revalis gale and ascend as up B daruks protection as shield Legend having fire rod instead of bow young link switching between the transformation masks like pokemon trainer with FD as the obvious final smash etc
the hero of winds really said "I'm the hero now, deadass."

He also caused the whole Gannon reincarnations and link reincarnation along with all malice reincarnations leading to endangerment or destruction of hyrule in general so
Couldn't agree more mate...It was idiotic tou put him in this rank
@@zacharykelly8535 i think the reincarnation thing is other link, the one from the manga
Link defeated Demise but got him and zelda(also known as the goddess Hylia) cursed in the end
Ngl with totk out, I wanna see how he measures up to the other links now. I'd say the biggest increase is his utility, due to the new fuse, ultrahand, and recall abilities, as well as new items. Strength and skill might increase, but will mostly stay the same, and experience will increase, but idk how much because I haven't beat totk yet.
Awesome Video and research brother. To me the Hero Of Time will forever be my favorite.
You mean the most powerful Zelda

Wait you mean to tell me Botw link cannonically defeated a guardian with a pot lid?!
Yes and you can do it in the game too (I did it) making it 100% confirm
This is the same Link who could just waltz his way up to Hyrule castle and kill Calamity Ganon in around 30-60 minutes. The fact he could destroy a Guardian with a pot lid should not be a surprise.
@@Darkfiro0 I knew you could parry with a fucking pot lid in game but I didn't know Link actually did it in the story
@@fantoast6932 yeah, its written in a jorunal somewhere that link parried the lazer. Lol id say that gives him the most skill considering that lazers travel at light speed
Don't worry, Breath of the wild itself is not cannon to the overall story, as confirmed by the creator.
With Tears of the Kingdom out, I gotta say the Hero of the Wilds has to be at least in top 3 now.
Hero of the Wilds can literally control time at will, stasis with the Sheikah slate and recall with his new arm. He's also the most resilient Link since he has fallen to Ganon two times already but comes back way stronger every time. Also, he can increase his defense and speed considerably by just eating food cooked by himself. Not to mention all the armor he has at his disposal, some of which make him invulnerable to fire/thunder/ice. That means he also has access to the Fierce Deity armor and Helix Sword, albeit a weaker version (can't shoot out beams), nevertheless his physical strength is greatly increased while wearing it as well, making the already physically strong Link even stronger.
Also, he has access to Auto build which gives him the ability to build literal warfare/mechs in seconds which annihilate anything in its path without Link having to lift a single finger.
Were it not because he's the only Link who has failed two times against Ganon (even on his weakest sealed form), I would rank him as the strongest Link out of them all. Still, he's definitely on par with the Hero of Time and The Hero of Legend.
Even with all of that, The Hero of Wilds simply doesn't have the same experience as the Hero of Time. They may have the fierce deity set but as you noted it's a weaker version that only imbues link with a power up, where as the mask transforms link into the Fierce Deity. The Hero of Time also had to visit the moon after who knows how many time resets, in order to get the sacred mask. They go on to survive till they're much older as the Hero's Shade, imparting their techniques and what knowledge they can to a new Hero, the Hero of Twilight. They gain who knows how much additional combat and world experience during the time between Majora's Mask and their training of the Hero of Twilight, and we know he still refused to pass on until he had shared what he needed to with a new hero.
The Hero of Wilds is strong don't get me wrong. They're definitely one of the stronger Links out there. But they aren't on par with The Hero of Time, they're a step below just slightly out of reach. As you pointed out, they also failed two times while the Hero of Time succeeded twice (Once against Ganon, a second time against the manifestation of Majora). The Hero of Wilds can autobuild a number of things, the Hero of Time can control the weather, time, stun undead enemies with the Sun Song, put gorons to sleep, and just straight up warp to places. He also knows the four giants and the oath to order, though there's really no telling if he could ever use that one outside of Termina.
@@ShaggyDabbyDank the hero of time after he gets striked down by a orbital laser he cant deactivate
@@Reset2150676what would last longer, the Hero of Time’s Nayru’s love plus château de romani or the Hero of Wild’s Battery life with large Zonai charges. Truly a battle for the ages.
@@GhostHunterDipperPineslmao
He still beat ganon both times
I wanted to add something about the new hero of hyrule from a link between worlds :
the great spin attack he gets from fiding 100 maimais is overpowered, it deletes almost all non-boss with the level 3 master sword. Hardcore
I think botw link could be considered the most durable as he’s a scammer that can just pause everything, heal and then come back
I mean, with a mass weapon arsenal that has shitty durability, the scam is all I'm thankful for.
So can others
magi king Joe rly, haven’t played any other Zelda game sry
That’s.....actually a good point
Most video games have this sort of exploits. I suggest looking at speedruns of other zelda games (or those animatics of speedruns that also are going over techniques) but BOTW link can go naked. So that’s cool
“Breath of the Wild’s link is a beast”
(Twilight Princess Link)
“Am I a joke to you?”
Sky: *breaths heavily* if it weren’t for me you wouldn’t exist
He's powerful no doubt. But when BOTW Link kills a god damn lynel with a pot lid as a child can increase his speed by up to 12 times the norm (albeit for short bursts.) Can literally freeze enemies in a god damn time prison and summon lightning, an unbreakable shield, a powerful vortex giving him better aerial mobility and is for the most part immortal as he can be not only revived but brought back to beyond full strength upon receiving a fatal blow. And the goddamn cherry on top he's taken the master sword to a level never seen before and has arrows that are literally one way tickets to Oblivion. (And if you consider it Canon BOTW Link can wear the feirce deity set giving him God like strength and shooting his atk power through the roof). Twilight princess Link is a fantastic swordsman with a great amount of versatility in his arsenal, training from one of the strongest heroes of all time, and the magic armor which will make him drop his life savings before he gets hurt, it doesn't really matter when BOTW Link just has a stronger arsenal and utilities that could allow him to completely bypass the effectiveness of the magic armor. Every hero on this list is extremely strong in one way or another. But for whatever reason BOTW Link was born with an insane natural talent for combat, and his adventures to rescue the fallen champions and the princess have probably made him more experienced. Truth be told any of the other heroes in Zelda who would challenge him to a duel would be better classified as suicidal than a combatant.
To be fair, you can use TP link as your own doggo in Breath of the Wild, so the chain of command has been instituted here
(I know, not canon. Just joking)
Flash to Link shield parrying a Lynel's charge attack*
@@SnaZZyBlur botw link is not only Link all you talk about is the souls of champions ofc it's valid as they gave him their will and power to use for his own
Also this Ganon with botw2 seems to be the strongest Ganon as well
The Hero of the Wilds was insanely strong, and that's before he could use the force. Theres also something to be said for how early in his adventures he gets ready for his final challenge. If not so easily distracted, it seems like all he really needs to defeat Ganon(dorf) is a pulse and maybe some stuff lying around on the floor.
You forgot to account for the fact that fairies could be used to distract other links like we see at the beginning of majoras mask, and giving the hero of time an advantage for having two, plus any that are collected in a bottle to heal
(Same would go for any other hero’s able to obtain any sort of fairy similar to navi, tael, or any healing fairy)
Twilight Link.
Turns into a big puppy and all the other Links MUST pet him.
IKR!!!!
It's the one we all know and love
😂😂😂
He's the most powerful because he can become his fursona.
You mean the Twink?
Zeltik: The Hero of Legend is completely invisible
Lens of Truth: Allow us to introduce ourselves
God.
Lol
When HoL thinks he can just sneak anywhere but he runs into OoT Link.
He defeated him with hairspray and a lighter.
HoT doens't even need Lens of Truth, he can just use Goron Lullaby, i mean, even if HoL can turn invulnerable and invisible he still can hear, right?
I think the hero of spirit is the hero of winds. I read somewhere that Spirit Tracks was his next adventure after Windwaker. Plus they both look like they're about 10 years old like in Windwaker
Guardians: designed to aid the hero in combat against the calamity
Also guardian: gets defeated by a pot lid
Ah, but does Calamity Ganon have a pot lid? I think not.
😜
Potlid op pls nerf
Botw Link killing a guardian with a pot lid reminds me of the John Wick pencil story
senko
To be fair, BOTW Link is implied to have time-slowing combat abilities based on the bullet time gameplay and some diary entries.
And Link has been better than the strongest Hylian soldiers since he was a child.
Hero of the wilds link: Young adult
Also hero of the wilds link: Is 118 years old
Actually he is 117 years old
no breth of the wield link is the best!!!!
cj haynes not really
Seems like him and Captain America would get along just fine: they're both older yet younger looking than anyone. They both also conveniently have near-unbreakable shields.
Weird Kid we don't know, do we ? He might not have the same age as Zelda.
Seeing all these different versions of Link makes me want to see a game with an even older Link. Like a middle aged version. Or even an Old man Link. There was decades of peace and he has to get back into hero shape in order to fight off the new evil that emerged
Old man Link would be dope
Something to factor, which people often forget, is that BotW Link was effectively a prodigy on the level of DBZ and fought like he was in Hyrule Warriors. He could beat grown men in duels at age FOUR, drew the Master Sword at 13, fought armies of monsters on his own, and only fell because he was simultaneously protecting Zelda and fending off dozens of guardians at once. His pre-game exploits pretty much overshadow the accolades of all but the most experienced Links even factoring their game adventures.
The reason for this being forgotten is likely the fact Age of Calamity ignored this backstory in favor of having him be a gifted, but common, knight, as he'd have already possessed the Master Sword for at least 4 years if they went off the botw backstory. (Assuming he's around 17-18 when the Calamity hit)
No matter how strong they are, i respect the Link from windwaker the most, because as you said: "He wasn´t a Hero chosen by the gods, this Link forced the gods to choose him." He had no destiny, but forged his own path to defeat ganon.
To say he has no destiny doesn't really make sense, he was destined to do that. It's just that he wasn't born to be a hero, but stepped into the role
@@ibrahimhassan37 You didn't get the point; or you did, but decided to be picky about it.
BotW link wasn't chosen by the gods either, sort of. I mean, he technically sorta is yes chosen by Rauru, but that's only because of Zelda's faith in him.
Feel like you’re arguing about predetermined destiny and free choice. Not sure if you can say WW link forged his own path or if it was destiny that it would happen that exact way.
Hero of time hands down
Botw link killing ganon in shorts with amnesia and a stick he found on the floor: Am I a joke to you?
Lol only ONE LINK CAN DO THAT
See though that’s not canonical cause you can glitch into Gannons battle in oot and kill him with a Stick as a kid
Lucas Payton yes because glitches even everything out
@@shadered6955 what im saying is its not canon that link killed gannon with a stick in botw same as oot
Andrei Salvaleon master sword is canon death
17:40 The Red Ring has one use: it cuts down damage dealt to Link by enemies to a quarter compared to his original tolerance.
Hero of the Wild was massively underplayed here.
And that’s not even counting his current arsenal with the new game out.
Dude has bullet time, and while his arsenal in BotW isn’t deep, it’s how he uses the arsenal that makes him dangerous. Not to mention the fact that his sword is also upgraded three times making it three times as powerful.
Current Hero of the Wild is easily top contender and it’s not even funny. The amount of enemies he has defeated, not to mention what he can do with his weapons now?
I can’t wait for Zeltik to redo this and see where Hero of the Wild scales now
I have a theory:
All the links suffer from a genetic disorder that weakens the knees, not allowing them to manually jump, and some where born without it.
Pure genius.
"I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee."
Why does that skyrim guard quote fit perfect of course the guard was the start of the link family
@@gugg2216 The strongest link: The guard hivemind
And the Roc’s feather heals this weird jumping disorder.
You say that, but put my boy next to a ledge and he'd out jump anyone of us with ease
