Description
I am sure a lot of you have heard of the show "Death Battle" on ScrewAttack.com and youtube.com I recommend you guys watch some of their fights because they are pretty cool. They have done awesome fights like Goku vs Superman, Mario vs Sonic, to more obscure fights like Rainbow Dash vs Starscream and even Justin Bieber vs Rebecca Black. In my opinion, the best fight they have ever done is Link vs Cloud www.youtube.com/watch?v=-o2SV6…The picture above is an edited version of another picture that was on the screwattack website that I just felt needed some extra touches. The original picture is here fc04.deviantart.net/fs70/f/201…
The picture is drawn by TOKYO51zombie tokyo51zombie.deviantart.com/ I hope you guys check out the rest of his art on his page.
Also check out some of my own art of my OCs and also some of the literature I have done such as my OoT Link vs Cloud fight firebird97.deviantart.com/art/…
Alright bros stay chill.

And of course someone with a Sonic the Hedgehog OC as their profile picture would comment something as ironic as that!

Now it can come true! Cloud HAS BEEN ANNOUNCED FOR SMASH!

That fight was glorious. So many people go so angry about how nerfed Cloud was (2 materia and his base sword), but Link was far more nerfed. He was given a bow, a bunch of bombs, a clawshot, and a boomerang. Then he got some armor, not even including any of the stuff that made him flat-out invulnerable. Plus, even though he got the Master Sword, he got its weakest form. Literally, thing can be 4x stronger like in A Link to the Past. Plus, the part where Link dodged/blocked the Omnislash was ridiculously awesome, especially when Link turned it around and finished Cloud off. (Another thing that ticks people off. They claim that it was just the bombs that finished Cloud, which should be impossible as he's tanked a "Supernova", even though it was merely an overhyped solar flare since the sun didn't actually explode, regardless of the fact that Link simply used the bombs to throw Cloud upwards and perform the mother of all Fatal Blows.) It was a great fight, but in the end there are few who can step to Link and walk away.

Link from The Legend of Zelda deserves to return to Death Battle one day. If it's any other opponent he needs to fight against is none other but Simon Belmont from Castlevania as those two uphold a rivalry since the late 1980s and even more so since Castlevania II: Simon's Quest & Zelda II: The Adventures of Link came out on December 1st of 1988 in North America (no joke, what I tell you is true).

I already know who would win. Link could just turn Simon into a blob. It'd be a very easy fight. But I am sure it would still look cool
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm thinking your talking about that Magic Spell called Spell you speak of as seen here: zelda.wikia.com/wiki/Spell_Spe…
It should be noted that it mentions that "Some of the most powerful enemies such as the Eagle Knights are immune to this effect" thus meaning that Simon Belmont can easily shrug off the effects just as much as Shao Kahn can shrug off M Bison's Psycho Power due to Shao Kahn eating souls for breakfast.

Not just that spell though. There is the quake medallion, and the thunder medallion. Then Link also has access to Nayru's love *gives him invincibility* and chataou romani which gives him unlimited magic. Link could also use the giants mast making him over 100 times his original size, strength, and speed. His ability to stun foes and get behind them at fast speeds *hidden skills from Twilight Princess* his combat style in Wind Waker. His far faster projectiles such as arrows, boomerangs, sword beams, bombs, and other magic spells. He can also run past 30 miles per hour via pegasus boots and can reach speeds faster than 70 miles per hour as wolf Link. In his giant form he is about mach 1. If we were to get technical Link could also use a hammer with 1 megaton of force and lift objects weighing 1000+ tons. And if you still remain unconvinced, Link also has wielded the triforce before and with it he destroyed an alternate reality. Aka, another universe.

True the Nayur's Love dose allow Link to become *invincible* but even that has its limits as it can't prevent Link from still get knocked-back or even knocked down if he got hit by a powerful blow while the Nayur's Love remains activated. Further more, while it has been stated that only Ganon within The Legend of Zelda franchise can deal damage to Link even with Nayur's Love activated, this alone means that beings *as powerful as* Ganon (such as Dracula from Castlevania) as well as beings more powerful then Ganon can still deal some degree of damage to Link even when Nayur's Love is activated. Last but not least, the biggest disadvantage of Link using Nayru's Love spell is the sheer fact he won't be able to use any other spell while Nayur's Love remains activated (this includes spells from outside The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time such as the Medallions from Link to the Past & Link's spells from Zelda II: The Adventures of Link. Because when Link casts Nayur's Love, he will have to wait until the duration period of that spell comes to its end).
In regards of the Medallion from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. Link can only use such Medallions while wielding The Master Sword for if he's using any other weapon (such as The Megaton Hammer or other swords), Link won't be able to use them. In the case of the Ether Medallion, Link can freeze Simon Belmont with it but Simon Belmont will eventially break free from being frozen the same way he can break free from being turned to stone due to his Super Mortal Strength Ratings. Then in the case of Quake Medallion as well as the Bombos Medallion, while Link can use them to deal damage to Simon Belmont, Simon Belmont can slow down (but not stop) Link by means of the Stopwatch.
As for the Giant's Mask from The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, that mask wasn't even used when Link entered Death Battle against Cloud since it can only be used (aside from select few glitches which were totally unintended to begin with) exclusively inside Twinmold's arena.
Then Chataou Romani, exactly to why Death Battle didn't used this is beyond me but what isn't beyond me is the fact it dose grant Link unlimited magical energy for a duration period of 72 hours prior upon being used.
I should mention that while Link dose have his fair share of projectile weapons such as Arrows, Boomerangs, Sword Beams and other magic spells, Simon Belmont also has his own projectile weapons too as he has the daggers (including the Gold Knife which explodes into fire), axes, the cross boomerang, holy water that explodes into a blue flame and can even throw pillars of flames (if we were to take Castlevania II: Simon's Quest into account since Castlevania II: Simon's Quest is canon, Simon Belmont will also bring Dracula's Ribs to counter Link's Hyrule Shield... yes he processed Dracula's Ribs).
While the Golden Gauntlets grant Link Super-Mortal Strength Ratings, Simon Belmont also starts out with Super Mortal Strength ratings on his own and even more so if ever allowed to bring The Nail of Vald from Castlevania II: Simon's Quest.
As in regards of The Megaton Hammer, while Link can use that to cause small shockwaves, he won't be able to use any Shield since the hammer requires two hands to wield. Further more, Link also won't be able to use the Medallions since wielding the Master Sword in hand is required.
Then as your comment about "Link also has wielded the Triforce before and with it he destroyed an alternate realty" you said, I'm thinking you meant when Link used the Triforce to undo Ganon's Dark World from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past? I'm thinking that's what you meant by, through when Link appeared on Death Battle, the only Triforce he had with him is only The Triforce of Courage.
In either case, a fight between Link & Simon Belmont will be much more interesting since both have arch enemies that get constantly resurrected and both have to go into the respectful castles to meet them and fight them with the holy weapons Link & Simon Belmont wield (in Link's case, the Master Sword is his Holy Weapon while Simon Belmont has the Vampire Killer as his Holy Weapon).
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You do know that Link can switch weapons almost instantly right? Link could switch from the master sword to his other weapons pretty quickly. Link has also gained the power to slow down and even stop time. In fact he has stopped time in 2 games, the original Legend of Zelda and Zelda Phatom Hourglass.
There is a pretty logical reason for why Link wouldn't use the giant mask outside of the twinmold boss room. He would probably kill everyone if he used the mask anywhere else. A desert would be the perfect location to use the giant mask.
Actually when Nayru's love is in effect Link can't be hurt by anyone. Even Ganondorf *who is capable of strikes that are 100s of megatons of force, believe me I checked* And though Link can't use any magic while using it, he can also continue to use his items. Aside from that though, Link wouldn't even be able to be killed by Simon as Simon has never fought someone with such sheer power as Ganondorf and there is no weapon that can break through Nayru's love.
Also quick question, what was Simon's feat of strength? And I mean just in general. With or without any items what feat was it that he pulled off to have super human strength? Link also is naturally very strong as he has lifted and thrown armored Gorons who weigh around 5-10 tons and has also fished the Neptoona, a massive fish that is about the size of an Orca and most likely weighs the same, about 5 tons. However, being that he pulled it on his own out of water from 30 yards away it likely was even more weight. Plus it was also fighting against Link making it most likely being around 15 tons naturally. This is one of the incarnations that can stop time by the way. What was Simon's strength feat? So that it can be calculated in comparison to Link.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
As far as I'm concerned in regards of Simon Belmont's super-mortal strength ratings, Simon Belmont is known to break walls (even walls made of concrete, usually it takes Simon Belmont at least three hits to destroy a brick wall (especially the ones that have hidden items, giving reason to indicate that Simon Belmont has an uncanny knack of finding hidden items and even pathways). It should be noted that Simon Belmont back in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest wasn't able to do this until he found and equipped Dracula's Fang which allowed him to destroy walls in one hit (its likely the big reason why he couldn't destroy walls and floors back in Castlevania II: Simon's Quest was due to the sheer fact Dracula laid that curse on Simon Belmont's back wound and after resurrecting & destroying Dracula thus lifting the curse, Simon Belmont could very well have regained his full super mortal strength).
It should be worth mentioning that since Super Castlevania IV is going to be taken into account then Simon Belmont can also use the Vampire Killer to hang onto latching onto rings to swing over areas, he can even hang onto such rings with the Vampire Killer for as long as he wants since his super-mortal strength ratings allow him to do so (unless someone is trying to attack him that is).
I should also mention that if we were to also take Castlevania: Harmony of Despair into account (in addition to the fact that some of the other Belmonts have done the same), then Simon Belmont can also use the Vampire Killer to shoot fireballs in an attempt to counter Link's fire beams of light that come from the Master Sword. Taking Castlevania: Harmony of Despair also means that Simon Belmont will also be using Javelins as well.
My apologizes for the late response but I figured now is better for me to post it then later. In either case, a legitimate Death Battle between Link & Simon Belmont will prove more different since (as I said before and I'll say again) The Legend of Zelda & Castlevania do indeed have a permanent rivalry.
Speaking of permanent rivalry, Final Fantasy's permanent rivalry actually belongs with Dragon Quest itself (they used to call it Dragon Warrior in the US until Square Soft & Enix merged) as I also have a few Death Battle Ideas that do pit Final Fantasy Characters against Dragon Quest characters.

Well his appearance in Harmony of Despair isn't canon. Neither is the one in Castlevania Judgement.
As for the whole destroying walls thing. There is a big question to be asked. What is the greater feat? Lifting and then throwing 1000 tons over 50 feet away (enough force to cause a skyscraper to fall.) Or the strength to punch through concrete? This is like comparing Raiden's strengh to Thor's. Not even remotely close.
I actually did take into account Simon's swinging ability on and off pillars and ropes. While this does help in his mobility, there are things that make it a little less helpful. Link for one, can use whips as well in the same manner. He can also use the hookshot in order to zip across the battle field even fast. Link could also just slow down time so that Simon looks like he is moving in slow motion. Link could then just fire an arrow through Simon's head and finish the fight.
I am sure the fight between Simon and Link would be cool, but Link wins by a landslide. Though he cannot use most magic with Nayru's love he can use the Ocarina of Time which can pretty much finish the battle quite quickly.

The one thing I should also mention too and I know it's rather delayed in this case but better later then never......
If in the event Cloud Strife ever returns to Death Battle for any reason, his next opponent should be (believe it or not) Dart Feld from The Legend of Dragoon and here is what those two have in common as seen below (trust me firebird97, you'll be amazed).
1: Cloud Strife & Dart Feld both come from Role Playing Games (Cloud Strife comes from Final Fantasy VII which was first released on January 31, 1997 in Japan while Dart Feld comes from The Legend of Dragoon was first released on December 2, 1999 in Japan, barely making him a 1990s icon)
2: Cloud Strife & Dart Feld both survived after there hometowns got destroyed (Nibelheim in Cloud Strife's case while the Town of Neet in Dart Feld's case)
3: Cloud Strife & Dart Feld have hunted down individuals in black for destroying there hometowns (Cloud Strife hunts down Sethiroth who always wears black while Dart Feld hunts down The Black Monster, who turned out to be Rose, The Black Dragoon who joined his party early)
4: Cloud Strife & Dart Feld both have spiky blond-hair (yep, a major trend in many role playing games around the 1990s)
5: Cloud Strife & Dart Feld are both known to be loyal and protecting (Cloud Strife is known for steadfastly loyalty and will protect those he cares about while Dart Feld is known for loyalty and unwavering bravery as it stands out as he adventures)
6: Cloud Strife & Dart Feld are Team Leading Broadsword Wielding Warriors (Cloud Strife eventually became the leader of his party after leaving Midgar, always carrying the Buster Sword while Dart Feld was already a leader of his party, both are known to wield broadsword-type weapons)
7: Cloud Strife & Dart Feld are icons of the 1990s (Cloud Strife first came to being in January 31, 1997 while Dart Feld first came to being in December 2nd of 1999, he "barely" became a 1990s icon)
No idea on your personal thoughts about this but if Death Battle actually knew about Dart Feld from The Legend of Dragoon being Cloud Strife's Ultimate Imitator & Secondary Rival all those years ago, Cloud Strife vs Dart Feld would of been Death Battle Episode 22 instead of Cloud Strife vs Link and this is something I don't joke about for that reason.
Here's the link to the Death Battle Picture Idea as seen here: livingartifact.deviantart.com/…
As for the idea of Link vs Simon Belmont, I still wait for that even to this day, even if the fight itself is proven to be even one-sided one way or another.

I get what you mean. And I totally agree with the Dart vs Cloud fight. I personally have yet to play Legend of Dragoon, but I have played Final Fantasy 7. The main reason I put Link vs Cloud together was because in the 90s they were also rivals. When Final Fantasy 7 first came out the graphics were considered as amazing and that they blew everything out of the water. Then literally the next year Ocarina of Time came out and the graphics blew everything out of the water yet again. Both Final Fantasy 7 and Ocarina of Time introduced some of gaming's biggest plot twists and both of them changed storytelling in video games on a grand scale. Not to mention that both Link's and Cloud's games revolutionized combat in video games. Ocarina of Time introduced a lock on system that allowed the player to move fast around their opponent. Final Fantasy 7 introduced tje use of Limit breaks, and used real time combat.
That is just why I like the idea of Link vs Cloud so much.

Yes, I'll give Link & Cloud Strife credit for the legitimate but iffy rivalry they have, all due to Square Soft (now Square Enix) no longer making games for Nintendo and switching onto making games for Sony Playstation is what started it, at least during then (through they now put aside that bad blood afterwords). What also gave the rivalry an iffy feeling is also due to the Legendary Final Fantasy VII Ad as seen in this link: www.neogaf.com/forum/showthrea…
Just make sure you keep scrolling down until you find "When Sony had that legendary ad with FFVII making fun of the lack of space on cartridges" will bring up the link to the legendary add that brought about the iffy rivalry.
As for The Legend of Dragoon, it's a pretty fun game to play, a bit more different then some role playing games but still fun none the less and if you also ask me, Ben Singer has more to learn about role playing games, because some role playing gaming characters would be more easier to introduce to Death Battle then others (The Decedent of Erdrick/Roto from Dragon Warrior/Dragon Quest for example is one of those individuals, aside from buying items and weapons, his weaponry, armors and spells are pretty straight forward as he gains his spells by simply leveling up).

I know they are kind of similar in names lol. By the way, have you ever seen Attack On Titan? I'm thinking about doing a new vs battle soon and I might have a team battle using those characters.

Also what do you think would be a good vs battle I should do if you have any suggestions?

Who do you think will win? Silver (who can go super) or Mewtwo (who will have the Mega Evolution?) I have my decision and it is a very close fight.

Technically speaking, Super Silver got retconned in the only game it appeared in. (Screw you, SEGA.)
I'd have to say Mewtwo.
