  • Link, the one destined to defeat Calamity Ganon. He's got everything; the looks, immense strength and a TON of waifus (and husbandos!). But while he doesn't talk much, is there anything else that he is hiding from us?
    Today I take a look at Link and try to come up with an explanation for why he is so powerful!

      @@kurag5198 It actually seemed to explain a couple of things for the peeps and I too. I mean, at this point, it's impossible to tell just how many times Link and Zelda have been coming back over and over and over and over again to do this little dance with Gannon-- surely the signs of battle fatigue have *got* to be showing up, don't they?
      To us, they kind of did too, I mean, Link just doing this grim one-foot-in-front-of-the-other almost death march through everything before he goes into stasis, Zelda just *not* being able to get it together for the longest time under the heavy pressure she's been under.... Both are indeed valid and common PTSD symptoms.
      A buddy even pointed out that it explains Zelda's reaction after Gannon goes down- After all, supposedly, it's over, finally, once and for all. Gannon is down and supposed to be staying there at long last so..... what's that mean for her and Link?
      From that perspective, it's kind of like that one member of an older couple on the verge of retirement wondering if their spouse still finds them sexy and interesting now that the kids and the jobs and the distractions of everything are over with. LOL.
      I *will* say that as for the "overthinking it" comment that they made in the video- given just how much detail that these guys go into whenever they make a Zelda game-- particularly *this* one..... I'm not so sure that we, as the "audience" *can*. They've gotten, like, *hella* detailed with this stuff by this point and, it really does show for those of us that actually get curious and go looking. So, are we *really* getting too detailed or, are we just responding to their encouragement? LOL.

      couldn't it also be that link's "soul" is the player?, ask yourself this, how many LoZ titles have you played throughout the years, and can you still recall some of the movesets, would fit nicely with this idea + it fit's with the whole "link's supposed to be an empty avatar that the players project themselves into, that's he's a *link* between the game & player"

    The biggest misconception of Links focus abilities is that he’s not slowing down time, his PERCEPTION of time is slowing down. His movements in focus mode in crease 19x faster which is why you can flurry rush an enemy before a shot arrow, or a lightening strike hits the ground.
    His Strength feats come from his precision with time dilation, natural strength, and speed.

      @Nirek Setty ... yes. Link isn't mute ( at least in this game. But in most Zelda games he can clearly produce sound anyway ). He chooses not to talk because of pressure and expectations, but he CAN talk. It's likely either selective mutism ( which I don't think you can help ) or he's simply quiet. If Daruk considers him his bro, I bet Link would feel close enough to be comfortable talking to him.

    • @corruptedteka

      @Nirek Setty Makes sense but then again he doesn't talk because in cutscenes because he's a silent protagonist. But it's implied that he does talk, just not often compared to other people.
      Out of all the Champions, I think he might be the most comfortable with Daruk, honestly. You'd tell me "but he knows Mipha from way back", true, but I think that's why he probably wouldn't open up too much to her. My reasoning might not make much sense to you, but it might be a guilt thing. Just my thoughts though. Plus Daruk is a bro in general.

    It's the Triforce of Courage. The power of the Third Triforce is subtle, but unbelievably potent. The Triforce of Power grants unlimited power... Both physical and magical. The Triforce of Wisdom grants supreme mental and magical skill. So what does Courage do? Well... Nothing. Or so it would seem. In actuality... It brings out it's bearer's full potential. It takes years to master any one weapon, yet BOTW Link can pick up ANY weapon he sees and know instinctively how to use it with full skill and mastery. Even ancient weapons forgotten by time such as the Rods or Guardian weapons he can't have had a teacher for. He can forge a bond with any animal he tries, instinctively able to handle them (deer do NOT usually take to riders, people!) He can also learn how to utilize all equipment he finds perfectly and figure out weaknesses to any foe. When he concentrates his speed and reflexes increase as if he's been training his reflexes and reaction times for decades. He's an absolute paragon of mortality, a person brought to the full power a person can naturally wield. All this is the Triforce of Courage's influence, and Link's own secret and subtle power.

      By the transitive property of being a descendant or just inheriting the spirit of the hero that resides in all Links, I can get behind this.

      OoT isnt the only game in which those on the side of Hyrule have the benefit of time, Hylia seems to be associated with it in the same way the golden goddesses are with power wisdom and courage, you know? So maybe she intervened and gifted that power (and possibly the other champion abilities?) to certain bloodlines? Or maybe it was a happy accident from one too many heroes and princesses falling in love leading to a bloodline saturated in the blood of the reincarnation of Hylia herself?
      Hell, looking at that old theory of the heroes of the triforce of courage having their special ability in the form of the save mechanic, maybe it's an evolved form of that kind of time based power? After all, what is the ability to return to the point before everything went wrong but some sort of time travel?

    Link's ability is the spirit of the hero. Time and time again he is resurrected by the gods to defeat the great evil. His spirit is what grants him such insane abilities. This is a man who as a child, could do things not even the strongest of warriors could do. And then as an adult, would continue to impress by further exceeding what he could do as a child. Whether or not it is innate, or it is taught by his ancestors through visions, Link shares the skills of his ancestors. And the scary idea is, one of the most powerful, fearless, and skilled Links is the very first one. Put into perspective, this guy has no limit to his sheer courage. And even without a shard of the Triforce, without that triangle of courage, he's proven strong enough to outclass the Triforce. This is a man who is sent by the gods, to defy the power of the gods. Calamity Ganon was shown to cause tremors in the earth, to shatter stone and crack mountains. That thing is terrifying, and Link just waltzes right up to it like it was nothing. Ganon with the full power of the Triforce? Ain't shit to Link. He has an array of powers far beyond what mortals could ever dream of. This dude is for sure, without an ounce of doubt in my mind, one of the greatest swordsmen ever. How do you beat someone who's so skilled that time itself seems to slow down to him. A dude that can beat your face in with naught but what he finds on the ground. Oh excuse me, there's a tree branch nearby? He's gonna find a way to kill you with it. He's got the skill.
