So then they're throwing a 17 year old with absolutely no official training.

Also, who said he was talking about Ocarina of Time?

17 isn't so bad.

Because it makes the most sense in OOT (windwaker can suck it).

Rooting him up from his home, the life he knew, ruining his childhood and forcing him on some bogus quest that's not even of his choosing?

In their defense, his childhood WAS kind of sucking, and he was a total outcast... and the Deku Tree DID ask him if he would partake in this quest.

Also, who said he was talking about Ocarina of Time?

EDIT: Also, Wind Waker.

The Link of Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask is the only one who carried the title "Hero of Time." Link in the Wind Waker is called the "Hero of Time, reborn," at least once in the game, but his official title was "Hero of Winds."

Also, personally, I'd like to think that because of the Triforce of Courage (in most games) he sort of unconsciously possessed the skills and power of the Goddesses.

It's vague enough where it can mean anything for Zelda 1, ALTP, Winder Waker, TP, OoT, uhh...Hmm. I think that's it, although there could be more.

Dude, Guild made it 100% clear he was talking about OoT in the first sentence.

What sick sadistic gods give the role of "Hero of Time" to a fucking child?

Again, Hero of Time is a title ONLY for the Link of OoT and MM. Heck, I don't think the term "Hero of Time" was used even in MM.

Keeping him in the temple of light for ten years was kinda the god's way of justifying their conscience not sending a small child out to battle. Had it not been for the triforce, though, you have to consider that he'd practically been comatose in a standing position for 7 years. His feet would probably be killing him but that may have been the only thing keeping his legs from atrophying during all that time. He would have needed therapy to have any coordination with his bigger body, let alone fight, especially when his only combat training is he happened to find a sword laying around the forest a few days before going into a coma. (At least in Wind Waker he gets some "training" before starting.) Had he been training with the sword for 7 years that's another thing but his opponent has had all that time to get used to having the power of a goddess... and not just any goddess but the goddess of power itself.

Having the triforce of courage fixes all that, though.

You mean 7 years.

 

[Wizerzak]

What sick sadistic gods give the role of "Hero of Time" to a fucking child? Seriously.

I mean you're in a land filled with (I'd like to think) a few competent soldiers or hell, even adults, and thrust this role upon a fucking kid? Rooting him up from his home, the life he knew, ruining his childhood and forcing him on some bogus quest that's not even of his choosing?

Also, I don't care how much magical voodoo power you got from some crazy gods, a small child with absolutely no official training with weapons cannot defeat a large, powerful king of evil with years of training in both the dark arts and swordsmanship.

Time travel, baby.

Well if we're not talking about OoT then why not SS? He receives sword training in that.

dr light left upgrade capsules for mega man x to unleash his full potential.
he hid them in hard and extremely dangerous to reach areas and he didnt just build him at full potential, nor give him all upgrades at once.

 

[Maxternal]

You mean 7 years.

Right, I had forgotten that detail
Kinda got mixed up between "10 years old" and "7 years later" I guess.
Fixed.

If you're a woman, the less skin the armor covers, the better your armor rating is.

If you're a man...You can wear 150lbs of armor, covers nearly every part of your exposed body, and you're still able to do backflips, dodges, and you're still able to swing an enormous sword that's larger than you are like it were made of Styrofoam.

I've wondered that myself. XD Though i think that was a sort of failsafe in case Mega Man X turned evil. The reason Dr. Light sealed him away so he could be "tested" in the computer to see whether he was trustworthy and would fight for the side of good.

you're still able to swing an enormous sword that's larger than you are like it were made of Styrofoam.

I doubt a sword that large would be easy to swing even if it was made of styrofoam...

you can keep sprinting forever.

 

[Lanlan]

You can only sprint ten feet.

 

[JulietStMoon]

You can only sprint ten feet.

but somehow, you can jog forever basically, even if you're carrying a hundred pounds of military equipment.

But if you go .1 pound over a certain limit, you're reduced from a jog to a saunter.

But you can still jump, and if you've got a bow drawn back it can increase your speed a tiny bit.

No more ambiguity. This ends now.

Related note, you can carry as much as you want on a horse, and this re-enables fast travel.
