Mario vs Link

[Depression Moon]

I will be real and say Link. Both are super bad, but I think that Link has more skill.

[Evastio]

You're totally forgetting about Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Master Quest.

Bzzzzzzzzzzzt. Wrong. With the release of Wind Waker, a preorder would land long-time fans a harder verision of Ocarina of Time; Ocarina of Time Master Quest. The game had revised dungeons, all of which where harder then their predecessors.

If you haven't played Lost Levels and breezed through levels 1-1 to D-4 (including World 9) then you shouldn't even call the Master Quest a challenge.

Mario still has much more experience at fighting than Link has. He's also done a variety of rescues and adventures unlike Link. Also Mario was capable of fighting enemies ever since he was a baby. (In the Yoshi's Island series)

[Shiny]

Mario is my favorite Italian stereotype.

[Lawr]

Mario's adventures were originally just a dream...

[ljkkjlcm9]

Honestly... the correct answer is
(SPOILER)Samus

Thank you, game over

THE JACKEL

[blackmage_nuke]

But mario jumps up and croaks from the slightest touch of a turtle

[Azure Chrysanthemum]

Mario can take 2 hits. Link can take somewhere in the area of six. When he's first starting out.

(SPOILER)Samus

Thank you, game over

THE JACKAL

THE JACKAL acutally meant, (SPOILER)Ganandorf

[Heath]

I think that in the interest of fairness, if Link were to have a sword than Mario (as a plumber) would need a lead pipe and everybody knows that the guy with the lead pipe always wins.

[Ultima Shadow]

In SSBM Mario > Link.

[No.78]

Mario has the amazing power to bend logic, I think he'd win.

[Proxy]

I harbour no bad feelings for the little Italian. I just think Link...The Legendary Hero would boot-smurf a plumber anyday.
Mario is cool, but Link is FTW.

[Forsaken Lover]

Mario's adventures were originally just a dream...

Pretty sure that was only SMB2 that took place in a dream. Don't remember hearing that about any other game.

Now let's face it. M

Mario vs. Link with no powerups is an easy win for Mario. Mario naturlaly is stronger and faster than Link.

-Mario routinely outruns bullets and cannons. They don't look fast to us because we're controlling Mario. Mario alsoc an run up walls.
-Mario tosses Bowser dozens, if not a hundred, feet with little effort. He also was chucking entire casltes in SMW. Don't give me "they were tiny!" We went through those same castles. They're not small. It was just the game engine.
-Mario survived being SHOT TO THE MOON. I also heard he dodges solar flares in Mario Galaxy.

Fact is, Link can't touch any of that without powerups like the Gauntlets.

Now when we get into powerups, Link and Mario both have Invincibility. Mario through Star and Link through Magic Armor. When we add up all the powerups, Link definitely wins in numbers but quantity or quality? Mario has stuff to make him big like Link's Giant Mask. Mario also has the Star Rod.

But if it came down to just one-on-one, Mario trashes the dork.

[Peegee]

Mario can, among other things:

- fly / smash noobs from the sky
- turn into a tanooki
- turn to stone and smush Link
- throw hammers with armor of the gods
- shoot fire from his hands
- grow to a 12 foot tall giant
- survive any attack so as long as he has a power-up

I don't know anything about link except that he's an elf with a sword (more like a dagger) and a shield. And he wears tights....

[I Took the Red Pill]

Besides, Link has never had a game that was meant for experts while Mario has (Super Mario Bros: Lost Levels).

Wrong.
