Jack: Link, The Legend of Zelda's Hero of Hyrule.

Emma: And Sora, the Guardian of Light from Kingdom Hearts.

Jack: Every mythical realm has their champion, but these two young boys are special ones who'll do whatever it takes to protect their friends and stop the darkness.

Emma: He's Jack Andros and I'm Emma Nemetrix.

Jack: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills of these two combatants to find out who would win..... a DEATH BATTLE.

(The Knight Who Seals the Darkness - Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity OST)

https://youtu.be/l848DCVAmlY

Jack: Long ago, in an ancient kingdom before Hyrule, before the Hylians, before Ganon, and before just about anything in the Legend of Zelda, there was a wise goddess, known as Hylia, who with all her wisdom, power and courage defended her land.

Emma: Speakin' of power, wisdom and courage, Hylia was the creator of an ancient artifact of legend, the Triforce, a golden triangle that grants the wielder any wish they desire, like mine being a ninja sword with a shiny giant shuriken. But the Triforce, just like any other overpowered object in video games, was sought after by an evil demon king named Demise, who wished to take over the land and use its power for his own evil needs.

Jack: Desperate to stop him, Hylia chose a hero, as Demise sent an army of red finger painting men after her kingdom. This hero slayed Demise, before the Triforce was separated into three to prevent it from reaching the wrong hands. These three pieces are Power, which was went to Ganondorf, reincarnation of Demise. Wisdom, which was sent to Zelda the reincarnation of Hylia......

Emma: And the best one, Courage, which went to Link, reincarnation of Hylia's chosen hero. Link, the Champion of Hyrule, multi-incarnate swordsman, hero of Light, Time, Legend, Hyrule, Winds and..... Trains? Well either way, Link has multiple incarnations and has been on 10 generations of adventures, with an arsenal of weapons to match the vast dungeons he goes through.

Jack: Link has numerous weapons at his disposal such as his bombs, arrows, shields, hammers and etc. But his most powerful and iconic is the Master Sword, which was created by Hylia herself that's now passed to Link. This sword is capable of vanquishing evil with its scared flames from the Golden Goddesses. The Four Sword allows Link to duplicate three of himself and the With the Ocarina of Time, Link can summon storms, teleport across the land, and even travel through time. With song!

Emma: His Golden Gauntlets can lift heavy stone and his Ancient Arrow can crush foes into oblivion or teleport them into another dimension. He can use He also comes with the Sheikah Slate which allows Link to set remote bombs, stop time and even summon his Master Zero Cycle. But when his back's against the wall, Link can use a Fierce Deity Mask to even the odds which increases his strength and allows him to use Helix Sword.

Jack: And the Triforce of Courage grants Link protection against dark magic like the time he was turned into a wolf. He did held the full power of the Triforce several times but only the Courage remains a standard.

Feats

Saved Hyrule, Lorule, Termina, Holodrum, Labrynna, the Twilight Realm

Destroyed each Blight Ganon, along with Calamity Ganon himself, mostly on his own

Trained hard to become an esteemed Royal Knight, much like his father

Relearned his sword techniques instantly, despite suffering amnesia

Could defeat hoards of enemies on his own

Is recorded to have defeated a Guardian using only a Pot Lid as defense

Was taught to be a Train Engineer, the greatest in Hyrule

Defeated the Demon King Malladus with the help of Princess Zelda

Was trained in sword combat by Orca, a sword master

Defeated the Demon King Ganondorf in single combat, with the help of Zelda

Defeated Bellum, saving the Ocean King

Defeated the Wind Mage Vaati, and proceeded to seal him in the Four Sword

Defeated the Demon King Ganon, and proceeded to seal him in the Four Sword

Copies made by the Four Sword can amplify his strength four times over

Copies made by the Four Sword can act independently

Each Link made by the Four Sword has their own Life Force

Defeated Demon Lord Ghirahim multiple times

Passed the Wing Ceremony and became a Knight

Emma: Throughout his reincarnations, Link has saved Hyrule and time again from the evil forces that seek to conquer or destroy it and the world. He's bested his nemesis Ganon multiple times, completed the full Triforce on separate occasions, dodged a laser beam that's 1.67 times FTL and defeated Majora with the Fierce Deity Mask, who pulled the moon down to the planet. Based on its size and the speed, Majora possessed the over 100 Zettatons of TNT.

Jack: And Ganon is no slouch either. In Tears of the Kingdom, Ganon once created a Blood Moon which is over 21.08 Yottatons of TNT and is the bearer of the Triforce of Power. Yet with Link's Master Sword, evil's bane incarnate, he's overpowered the demon king numerous times and the Triforce of Courage even negates dark magic, like when it reverted Link back from a wolf.

Weaknesses

Tends to be lazy

Has very limited training in swordplay

Can get reckless and brash when his friends are in trouble

Somewhat over-reliant on his Runes and abilities, which have limited uses (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)

Nearly all of his equipment can break (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)

Does not wield the Triforce of Courage, as most other Links do (The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild)

Not much, if any, sword practice (The Legend of Zelda: Spriit Breaks)

Has a very limited arsenal of useful equipment (The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Breaks)

Very young, not extremely experienced (The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Maker)

Becomes reckless and brash when the lives of his family and friends are at risk (The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Maker)

Doesn't have much experience (The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures)

Defeated a new and inexperienced Ganon (The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures)

Required help of the Maidens to seal Ganon away for good (The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures)

Jack: Link is definitely powerful, but far from invincible. While he has a large arsenal, he's also reliant on them and many have their weaknesses and Link has never mastered most with the exception of the Master Sword. And each reincarnated Link, while technically the same, have their own faults. One of them isn't that skilled in swordfighting and the other doesn't even possessed the Triforce of Courage.

Emma: And Link has died in one alternate timeline in Skyward Sword and defeated by Ganon in another in Ocarina of Time. Not to mention he can be a bit impulsive and sometimes attack head-on despite being a strategist at times.

Jack: But no matter what, as long as Link is around Hyrule will always have a champion it can count on.

Link walks up to the pedestal bearing the Master Sword, before tugging at it, finally pulling it out and raising it as the three medallions circle him.

Sora has the Key to unlock DEATH BATTLE

( Face My Fears (English Version) - Hikaru Utada and Skrillex)

https://youtu.be/XtK50cbCAdk

Emma: Life in the islands..... simple, yet fun, yet boring at times. This was the mindset of Sora, Riku and Kairi, three islanders living in the world of Destiny Islands. These three were ambitious, maybe even a bit too much, because they decided to take a fucking raft to sea and travel other worlds. Silly Riku, rafts aren't for space, Gummi Ships are!

Jack: Sora's job was to gather materials, food and finally, race Riku in order to name the raft. Once those couple jobs were done, Sora turned in for the night, when disaster struck. There was a storm, Kairi disappeared, and there were a bunch of weird demon things called the Heartless who Sora couldn't kill with the Wooden Sword in hand. Try as he might, Sora had no way to hurt these creatures, and right afterwards, Riku was sucked into a void of darkness, leaving Sora to receive the Keyblade, a weapon from the Realm of Light designed to kill Heartless.

Emma: The Keyblade, otherwise called the Kingdom Key, led Sora to defeating some weird beard-man before Destiny Islands fucking EXPLODED and was engulfed in darkness, leaving Sora to roam Traverse Town on his own. Confused and alone, Sora eventually stumbled across Leon, who fought him, before knocking him out and taking him to the hotel.

Jack: This was when Sora was told about the Keyblade's true power, the only weapon the Heartless truly fear. The sword that can open any door, lock or chest. Sora then set off to stop the Heartless waiting outside, where he eventually stumbled across a giant armor thing he had to fight off with Donald Duck and Goofy by his side. From here on, Sora began his journey has a Keyblade user.

Summon Gems/Summon Cards (Summons Disney characters for upgrades)

Jack: Sora wields a Keyblade, a giant key which functions as both a sword and, well, a key to unlock or lock anything from doors to locks to chests. His Keyblade is the Kingdom Key, which originally supposed to Riku's but after freeing Riku from the darkness, had received it instead. But he also has the Ultima Weapon which is the strongest Keyblade in the KH universe.

Emma: He can use elements like Firaga, Blizzaga and Thundaga, attract enemies or times with Magnega, heal with Curaga and stop time completely with Stopga. He can deflect attacks with Aeroga or Reflega and even shrink foes to small sizes with Mini. But when his back is to the wall, Sora can tap into his Drive Forms which greatly increases his powers.

Jack: But his greatest and riskiest ability is the Power of Waking. Described by Yen Sid, I see what you did there people, to have "the power to free a heart from its sleep", it allows Sora to restore recently deceased hearts and travel into other worlds. However, it's considered taboo and has unexpected consequences if abused too much, like allowing worlds into hearts instead of the other way around.

Feats

Sora also seems to be capable of bending the universe's laws of nature to an extent, namely through his memories

Single-handedly defeated 1,000 Heartless while only showing minor fatigue afterward

Slices through 7 buildings at once (Additionally, these buildings are shown to not be hollow, but solid all the way through)

Launched buildings like tennis balls

Was not originally meant to possess the Keyblade, yet he's become one of its most skilled wielders, if not the very best

Blocked and dodged lasers (has light-speed reactions. Sora can react to them consecutively)

Can either teleport or move faster than the eye can see (Fast enough to not only dodge but reflect sniper fire)

Survived an exploding pirate ship while on it

Took down the entirety of Organization XIII with help

Overpowered a Rock Titan

Resisted transmutation & time manipulation

Shot a laser to the moon in 1 second

Even without wielding the Keyblade he is skilled with any kind of sword

Can adapt to any combat situation and his foes' attacks (Frequently uses his own opponents' moves against them)

Fell straight from space, from the Gummi Ship and landed headfirst into a treehouse

Defeated Riku, Roxas, Hercules, Hades, Rock Titan, Ice Titan, Lava Titan, Tornado Titan, Jafar, Urusula, Maleficent, Cloud, Sephiroth, Anti-Aqua, Lingering Will, Yozora, Ansem, Xemnas, and Xehanort

Jack: Sora's raw confidence, and his friends have taken him through many hardships and feats. He's been able to slash clean through 7 buildings at once, deflect hundreds of lightsabers coming at him and Riku at once, defeated the solar-system busting Sephiroth, and fought 1000 Heartless coming at him at once. He's even bested most of the Organization XIII with a bit of help from King Mickey and Riku.

Emma: Sora can be comparable to Aqua, who spend 10 years in the Realm of Darkness walking around and it's a parallel to the Realm of Light and both Realms make up the Ocean Between, which is a 5D structure. And Sora bested her. Also remember that time Sora fired a laser at the moon which is 1.28 times FTL? Well that's nothing considering Sora defeated Roxas, his Nobody. Roxas' Heart travelled from the Radiant Garden to the Keyblade Graveyard in 4.76 seconds, that's 167,865,430.14 times FTL.

Jack: And alongside Donald and Goofy, Sora battled Master Xehanort, a Keyblade Master who wants to bring balance between darkness and light by using the power of the true Kingdom Hearts and reshape the multiverse in his own image. Yes, multiverse. In Kingdom Hearts Dream Drop Distance, Joshua and Riku confirmed that each world has their own flow of time and Xehanort had both the X-Blade and true Kingdom Hearts at his disposal, yet Sora defeated him once and for all.

Weaknesses

Nearly helpless without his Keyblade, which he has been separated from before

Overuse of his Drive Forms can cause him to turn into his Anti-Form

Limited magic reserve (takes time to recharge)

Naïve

Defeated by Yozora (Bad Ending)

Technologically illiterate

Pretty emotional at times

More of a team player

Failed the Mark of Mastery Exam

Emma: But Sora isn't without limits. He's needs his Keyblade to do his spells and while Sora's strong on his own, he's more of a team player, relying on friends to back him up which isn't a good thing in a 1v1 fight most of the time. And his magic have a finite limit albeit regenerating overtime.

Jack: And should he overuse his Drive Forms, he becomes Anti-Sora. While still able to fight, he's nowhere as powerful as his normal self. But most of all, abusing the Power Waking will result in Sora being erased from existence.

Emma: This is exactly what happened when Sora brought Kairi back to life at the cost of his own. Granted he reappeared in Kingdom Hearts 4 but you get the idea. But no matter how many hits Sora takes, no matter how many times he'll fall, he will always get back up again.

Sora: They can take your world. They can take your heart. Cut you loose from all you know. But if it's your fate..... then every step forward will always be a step closer to home.

(^)(^)(^)(^)(^)(^)

Jack: All right, the combatants are set. Let's end this debate once and for all.

Jack and Emma: It's time... For a DEATH BATTLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Hyrule Field

(A Link Between Hearts - Therewolf Media)

https://youtu.be/ZV2qtz7_qkA

On the cliff was a boy clad in green, with a sword and a shield. Slowly, yet skillfully playing the ocarina in his mouth, the boy slowly stopped playing for a second to pet the horse nearby. This was Link, the Hero of Hyrule. As he started playing once more, a dark vortex appeared from afar. Link quickly jumped up, before riding off towards the vortex.

Link reached the spot where the portal was. From inside, several small black creatures rose, followed by a bigger one with its face covered by tentacle-like hairs. This was the Darkside Heartless, a creature new to Hyrule. Link pulled out the Master Sword, just as another boy stepped in, obliterating the Shadow Heartless with a single slash, before facing Link, nodding. This boy had spiky brown hair with a black jacket, a red and blue undershirt, saggy shorts, and a giant key for a sword. This was Sora, Wielder of the Key.

Sora: You target the chest, I get the arms!

Link nodded in understanding, before jumping upwards and burying the Master Sword into the Darkside's chest. Sora quickly ducked under, as Link jumped off, leaving the Darkside to collapse. Sora quickly jumped upwards, stabbing the Keyblade into the Darkside's hand.

As the Keyblade dug into the Darkside's hand, the Heartless flinched in agony, before slowly dissipating into dark orbs. Sora sighed, jumping off.

Link closed his eyes, relaxing. He owed this boy. As Sora sat down next to him, Link suddenly sensed a dark energy within. Quickly, he jumped upwards, taking a slash Sora, Sora spotted him, moving his body in the nick of time.

Sora: Hey, what's the big idea?!

Link said nothing, simply slashing his sword aside. Sora stood, the Keyblade reappearing in his hands. He stared directly at Link, ready to fight.

Sora: Well, if it's a fight you want, it's a fight you'll get!

FIGHT!

Sora leads by dashing at Link, taking a swing. Link blocks the attack with the Hylian Shield, before quickly taking a stab, which Sora blocks in the nick of time, before engaging in a sword clash. Link raises his sword above, giving Sora a second's chance to attack, but as Sora tries to stab, Link slashes downwards, lowering the Keyblade. Link follows up by stabbing at Sora several times, but most missed, only causing Sora to flinch.

Sora held his stomach, where he got stabbed, before ducking to avoid a slash from Link. Spotting an opportunity, the Keyblade Wielder slammed the teeth of his Keyblade into Link's stomach, before quickly raising it to his stomach.

Sora: Fire!

A Firaga shot out from the tip of Sora's Keyblade, exploding point-blank on Link, who stumbled back, before raising his sword right into the air, charging up a Skyward Strike. As the smoke cleared off, Sora dashed backwards, before raising his Keyblade.

Sora: Thunder!

The attack landed on Link's sword, fully charging the Skyward Strike, letting him launch it at Sora. The Keyblade Wielder was launched backwards, as Link equipped the Pegasus Boots, dashing at Sora, slashing him several times. Link screeched to a halt before the cliff's edge, raising the sword once more. Sora landed on the grass, getting up, rubbing his head, before spotting the oncoming Skyward Strike. In the nick of time, Sora spun his Keyblade, before thrusting it forwards.

Sora: Reflect!

The barrier sent the Skyward Strike back at Link, who was knocked backwards off from the cliff. As Link fell, he quickly pulled out the Hookshot, grabbing onto the edge. Link swung upwards, before firing off a sword beam, which struck Sora point-blank in the chest. Link ran at Sora, locking blades once more. In an instant, Link took the advantage, turning around the clash. Sora pushed on, but Link pushed forward with more power, eventually reaching the cliff's edge. Link quickly drew back the Master Sword, before bashing Sora with the Hylian Shield. Sora fell over, plunging into the lake. Link pulled out the Zora Mask, before jumping in as well, swimming up to the sinking Sora.

As Link swam downwards, he fired both fins on his arms like boomerangs. As the fins zoomed at Sora, the boy's eyes opened, before he swung his Keyblade at the fins, knocking them away. Sora zoomed at Link, before ramming him with the Keyblade, sending him flying out from the lake, before zooming upwards, levitating holding the Keyblade to his side. Gliding, Sora zoomed at Link, who stood, blocking with both fins.

Sora swung the Keyblade straight into Zora Link's fins, but the attack did nothing. Zora Link screamed out, creating a giant glowing barrier, sending Sora flying. The Keyblade Wielder recoiled, before dashing at Link once more. This time he swerved around, slashing Link in the back of his throat, before gliding upwards. Link quickly turned, launching his fins around, but Sora dodged them before swerving to the cliff's edge. He raised his Keyblade, before pointing it at Link.

Sora: Fire!

At once, a spinning fireball burst from the Keyblade, zooming straight at Zora Link, who took the fireball into his barrier. After a few intense seconds, Link kneeled down, his mask off. He dropped the Zora Mask, before looking up at Sora, who landed on the cliff's edge. Smirking, Link got up, before pulling out another mask. Putting it on, Link screamed, his back morphing into solid stone. His sword disappeared once more, his fists growing bigger, as he shifted stature into a giant stone-monster, the Goron.

Goron Link smirked, as Sora looked down, confused. In an instant, the entire valley shook. Link was ground-pounding! Sora began gliding once more, in a desperate attempt to get away from Link's earthquakes. He took a left turn, into a bigger area, only to spot a giant spiked brown ball rolling next to him!

Link quickly rammed Sora, as they passed a tree. Sora fell backwards, damaged greatly, but hovered backwards a bit, raising the Keyblade like a gun.

Sora: Deep freeze!

Goron Link was stopped in his tracks as ice froze his legs solid. Unable to move, the Goron was struck by a volley of slashes from the Keyblade, as Sora knocked him into the air. He followed up by delivering a slash underneath Link, sending him flying. 

Link landed on a lump of sand. Sora sighed, taking this opportunity to raise his Keyblade.

Sora: Heal!

A green flower bloomed above Sora, regaining some of his health. Link, on the other hand, got up, rubbing his chest. Pulling of his mask, Link decided it was time for a change of tactics. Grabbing his bow, Link aimed a shot, as Sora got back in fighting position. Link fired off an arrow, which Sora slashed. Link continued firing a volley, Sora reflecting each and every arrow, until Link fired a bomb arrow. Sora slashed at it, only for it to explode.

As the smoke cleared off, Link raised his sword once more, firing off another Skyward Strike. Sora was busy coughing, unable to block the attack, Sora was sent flying backwards. Sora landed near a boulder, his feet screeching to a halt. Raising his Keyblade, Sora got ready to give Link's equipment a run for its money.

Sora: Gravity!

Instantly, the Master Sword, bow, Hylian Shield, Hookshot, along with several other weapons in Link's arsenal was dragged out into the air. Sora smirked, swinging his Keyblade over his shoulder, only for giant columns of sand to come rising up under him. Slipping, Sora looked down in surprise to find Link standing, holding a rod tipped with a mystic gem. This was the Sand Rod.

Link put away the Rod, before pulling out another, ripped with the shape of a flame. He let loose, sending a giant tornado of fire at Sora. Sora looked at the tornado, but the sand engulfed him, before being burnt in turn. As the flames cleared off, embers showered the field. A lone Keyblade was sunk in the ground, as Link sighed picking up his weapons. As he searched around, Link suddenly heard a voice from behind.

Sora: It isn't over yet!

Sora, with a spiral of air spinning around him, a fresh new blue Keyblade known as the Ultima Weapon in his arms, zoomed at Link, taking several diving slashes, all of which Link dodged, before being struck to the ground by one. Spotting an opportunity, Sora aimed his Keyblade straight at Link, as it got charged with fire.

Sora: Fire!

The Firaga exploded upon contact, causing smoke and ashes to appear where Link was. Sora searched for Link, only for something colossal to arise from the ashes.

Link was now in a mask made of raw stone. He was over 50 feet tall, his weapons were gone, and the only "equipment" he had was his two giant, meaty fists. Link punched downwards, causing the very ground below him to shatter. Sora dodge rolled as sharp, pointed stone blades rose from the earth. Link raised his fist once more, as Sora jumped, taking to the air.

The earth shattered, as blazing lava erupted from under Link's fist. Sora spiraled in midair, used Flowmotion to jump from tree to tree, before turning at Link, safe from the lava.

Sora: Fire!

A small shot of flames erupted from the tip of Sora's Keyblade, bursting on Link's fist. Link didn't feel a thing, before he stomped forward, fast as he can go.

Sora dashed on, before boosting upwards with Flowmotion, diving down at Link. Nimble, Sora slashed Link in the back of the neck AoT style, before jumping up, attempting to stab right into his head, only to get swatted aside. Sora flew backwards, landing before skidding to a halt at the newly created arena's rim, right before the lava. Sora quickly dashed at Link, who was now lifting a tree off from the ground, a mach cone forming around him as he did.

Link hurled the tree straight at Sora, who slashed it in two like a random Heartless, before jumping onto the top of the tree's upper half, using Flowmotion to boost himself up to Link's masked head.

Sora: Come on!

Sora dove right into the mask, stabbing his Keyblade into the Mask. A PlayStation X button appeared as Sora stabbed the Keyblade downwards, presumably mashing the button. Link continued flailing his arms, before grabbing Sora, throwing him up, punching him as he fell down, sending him flying into a tree.

Sora turned, spotting the tree. He slashed it just in time, before dashing at Giant Link, who turned in time to block several slashes from Sora. Link grabbed Sora, attempting to crush him, but Sora burst upwards with Superglide. Giant Link faced him once more, aiming a punch, but Sora swerved around, slashing Link in the back of his neck. Link fell, as Sora took another dive, this time breaking the Giant's Mask. Link collapsed, back to normal, exhausted, as Sora landed next to him. As Link pulled the Master Sword from the ground, the boy smirked, as he got ready to duel Sora once more.

Both boys circled each other, a Z-Target sign appearing on Sora. Sora slowly backed off, holding his Keyblade across his face. About 16 seconds in, Link's sword starts glowing. After 14 more seconds of intense circling, Sora swings at Link, jumping at him like a spiral. Link blocked the attack, as the sword duel engaged full-swing.

The two pushed, Link gaining the advantage one minute, Sora taking it the next. Eventually it came to the point where both were at the edge of steaming lava. Sora took the advantage for a short, sweet second, but the Triforce flew in Link's hand as he slashed at Sora several times, before delivering an upper slash to his throat. Sora was sent flying, just barely falling over the lava. Link dove down as well, the Triforce glowing in his hands. The sky changed from red to black as night rose.

Back under the cliff, Sora awoke just before Link could stab into him, but regardless, as he dodged, the Master Sword lodged itself in his right shoulder blade. Sora flinched in agony as Link raised the sword to stab into him once more, but swerved behind Link, slashing him in the back several times. Link turned just in time to counter the next combo, as both clashed their swords at once. Sora quickly swerved once more, slamming the tip of his Keyblade into Link's chest, before gliding upwards.

Sora: Freeze!

Several chips of ice zoomed in on Link, freezing his legs. Spotting a chance, Sora rushed at him with the Keyblade, "Sonic Dash" appearing below. Jetting past Link several times, Sora ended the combo with a slash to Link's head. The ice broke, letting Link finally dash at Sora, attempting to swing down his sword, only for the Keyblade to block it.

Sora pushed Link, causing him to stumble backwards, before delivering several slashes. Link blocks most with the shield, intercepting one just in time. He quickly knees Sora in the stomach, before slashing at him twice. Sora stumbles backwards, huffing. Link pulls out what appears to be a giant hammer before smashing it into Sora, sending him flying. Sora screeches to a halt back near the way up, only to run back at Link, dodging numerous sword beams.

Link grabs him with the Hookshot, throwing him back onto the cliff just as he attempts to slash him, before digging the Master Sword into the ground, using it like a pogo stick to bounce upwards. Just as Sora gets up, surrounded by flames once more, Link jumps right over the lava, landing as well. Both stood there, huffing, their faces dark, lit only by the fire's furious red.

Sora burst at Link, unleashing another Sonic Blade, Link blocked the attack, before grabbing Sora with the Tornado Boomerang, using the Super Spin Attack as soon as Sora got dragged in. Sora flew backwards, as Link aimed a Bomb Arrow. He fired it straight into Sora, sending him flying into the melting stone. The cliff's pieces broke off, lava dripping from them. Link quickly ran forwards, jumping off the cliff, putting on the Deku Mask to fly. Sora recovered in air, looking down to spot the vast lake underneath. Soaring, the Keyblade Wielder pointed his weapon forwards.

Sora: Freeze!

An instant ball of ice burst from the Keyblade, but Deku Link dodged it. In a flash, he dropped a Deku Nut into Sora's face, causing him to go blind for a second, dropping him into the lake. Link landed on a nearby cliff, exhausted. Lava dripped into the water before him. When he finally looked down, the Deku spotted something swerving underwater.

A dark figure burst out from the water, his claws digging into the Deku Mask. The mask fell off, as Anti-Sora dashed through Link several times, before finally getting blocked. Link slashed at Sora, who dodged, before grabbing his face with both clawed hands. Link screamed in agony as his face was distorted, before Sora jumped off the cliff with him. Sora, on top of Link, slashed at him repeatedly, before running into the town. Link, knowing Sora would destroy all in his path if he moved on, gave pursuit.

As Link finally reached Hyrule Castle Town, he was devastated to find the wreckage there. A single guard walked up to Link, blood dripping from his chest. Link looked down to find three holes in the guard's stomach.

Guard: Stop..... him.

Link watched as the guard fell before him. He ran into the Temple of Time, where he was suddenly zoomed in on. Sora slashed at him several times, landing on the other side. Once more running at him, Sora scratched Link's face, causing blood to drip out. Link blocked the next slash. If only he could reach the door nearby in time-

The door shut, as Sora started slashing at it. Link quickly pulled out his ocarina, playing the Song of Time as fast as he could. Afterwards, he shoved the Master Sword back into its pedestal.

Within Sora's Memories...

Link walks through Destiny Islands. A girl ran by with two boys, one with a nice orange haircut and the other wearing a yellow jacket with spiky blonde hair. As he walks on, Link spots another gang, relaxing on a tree.

Riku: Hey... Sora? Have you ever wondered what's out there?

This was the boy with the silver hair. He turned to another boy, who had brown hair.

Sora: No, but I'd sure love to check it out.

Riku grinned, staring at Sora. Sora just cocked his head to one side. The girl sitting above them giggled.

Hollow Bastion

Link was in a different world now. As he looked around, he spotted a familiar boy with a duck and a dog accompanying him. He was holding a girl in one hand, before he raised the Keyblade, finally stabbing it into his own heart, releasing what was within.

The World That Never Was

Another new place. Link spotted Sora, fighting a mysterious cloaked figure. Both were evenly matched, before Sora overpowered the cloaked figure, barraging him with slash after slash. Link finally figured out what to do.

Drawing his sword from the pedestal, Link burst through the doors, knowing for what was to come, the only way was to reenter Hyrule Field. Bursting out from the temple as Sora gave chase, Link turned to the darkness-encased boy before firing off a sword beam, which was dodged easily by him. Link ran into Hyrule Field just in time, dashing through the forest, blocking an oncoming attack from Sora, slashing him into the lake.

As Sora burst upwards, Link latched onto the waterfall cliff with the Hookshot. Sora boosted himself upwards as Link charged up a Super Spin Attack. Sora bounded at him, only to be sent flying by fire from Link's Bombos Medallion. Dawn was slowly coming.

Link pulled out the most powerful weapon in his arsenal, the Fierce Deity's Mask. Knowing that taking anymore risks would be suicide, the boy looked down at Sora, who was bounding underneath him, before putting it on.

Link's eyes opened once more. He looked down at Sora under him, before supercharging a sword beam. He stabbed the Dual Helix Blade into the ground, as it started glowing blue. In a single pogo jump, Link burst upwards, slashing a swirling attack at Sora from midair. The attack stunned Sora, as Link smashed into the ground, getting up. Sora ran up to Link, both dark claws bared, but Link stopped them easily with the Fierce Deity's Sword.

Sora jumped, attempting to bring his claws into Link's face, but Link shoved him away, firing off several sword beams. The Hylian Hero jumped upwards, slashing Sora, sending him flying. Anti-Form wasn't wearing off.....

Link launched off several sword blasts, Sora dodging all of them. With a quick lunge, Sora slashed at Link's face once more, causing him to bury his sword in the ground. Sora stopped, only for Link's eyes to open once more. The Fierce Deity continued his advance as Anti-Sora backed off, firing off another sword beam as he did. Anti-Sora dodged it, growling.

Link reached Anti-Sora, grabbing him. He kicked him into a tree, before shoving the Fierce Deity's Sword through his chest, into his heart, causing black balls of darkness to erupt from his body. Sora stopped moving, as Fierce Deity Link pulled out his sword, walking away.

???: Sora!

???: Hey, look sharp!

???: Sora!

Sora opened his eyes. He was standing in a circle, his Keyblade buried in the ground. Looking around, he spotted his own heart, floating before him. He heard voices nearby.

???: Hey, don't give up!

Sora nodded, recognizing the holy-sounding voice. In his head or not, Sora's friends were with him the whole way through. Reaching for his heart once more, Sora's memories flashed before his eyes, as he closed them.

Link was now walking away slowly, unbeknown to what was behind him.

Sora: Hey, Link!

Link turned around, spotting Sora behind him. His clothes were no longer black, rather, they were red. The black jacket was replaced with white, and Sora looked as if he'd gone 2 years back in time. This was Limit Form.

Sora: I'm not done yet! 'Cause no losing for me when.....

He swung the Keyblade two one side, his hand on his chest, where his heart would be.

Sora: My friends are my power!

Link smirked, pulling out the Fierce Deity's Sword once more.

Sora dashes at Link, Sonic Blade appearing under him. Sora slashes past him several times, only blocked once. Link slashes Sora twice, before knocking him backwards with a sword beam. Sora bounces off a tree, spiraling about, stabbing the Keyblade right into Link's chest. Link survives, pulling out the Keyblade before slashing Sora. Sora bursts backwards, the Keyblade teleporting back into his hands. Link raised his sword, which was glowing a sinister deep blue, before stabbing it down into the ground, making it shatter. Link stabbed the ground once more, spiraling upwards and launching a sword beam at Sora, who used Reflega in the nick of time, Link barely dodging his sword beam.

Link landed in front of Sora, locking blades with him. Both pushed on, but Sora jetted backwards, before activating Strike Raid, sending his Keyblade flying into Link several times. The ground under them continued to crack, as Sora delivered a spinning slash to Link. They locked swords once more, as the ground shattered under their feet. Both were descending into a crater, fast, on a falling platform. Sora jetted upwards, attempting to get away from the crater, but Link grabbed onto his leg.

Sora jetted upwards faster, eventually forming a Mach cone. Both sword-wielders jetted up into the surface, right into the sky. They rose faster and faster, as they disappeared from view. The only thing visible was the giant rays of light formed as they locked blades in midair. The two were rising fast, their blades meeting over and over as they swung. Link raised his sword, delivering a charged shock to Sora, who returned the track with a combo of slashes. They started descending, their swords meeting with a loud clang. Slashing downwards, they clashed blades tips, both of which were aimed at the ground.

Both fell to the ground full-power, swords stabbing in the ground, creating a giant blue flash from Sora's light magic and Link's sword's power. Both men were now in an X position, swords locked. Sora was standing on the left, Link on the right, their swords connected in the middle. The duel commenced now.

Sora swung backwards as Link swung forwards. Their swords made a sharp clang as they clashed. Both combatants slid backwards, before running forwards and making another swing. Sora's Keyblade locked into the hole in the Dual Helix Sword, letting him use it to flip, aiming right at Link's head.

Sora: Freeze!

A trio of ice balls froze Link's head, letting Sora take aim once more. He was about to fire when-

Link howled like a wolf, as the ice on his head cracked apart. Dashing at Sora, he swung twice, being blocked both times. Sora made a forward slash, which Link backed away from. Holding his sword forward like a gun, Link launched off a couple sword beams that stunned Sora. He dashed at him, slashing him twice, causing blood to spurt out, before attempting a stab. Sora blocked, barely in time, before pushing backwards. Link stumbled a bit, giving Sora the chance he needed. Grasping his chest, Sora raised the Keyblade upwards.

Sora: Heal!

The flower bloomed over Sora, granting him full health once more. Link rubbed off his wounds, dashing at his foe once more, delivering a slash. Sora blocked it, before pushing Link backwards and slashing at his head, slicing clean through the Fierce Deity's Mask. Link reverted to normal, exhausted, when he felt Sora impale him.

Sora slashed at Link from behind, forward, sideways, in all directions, at overwhelming speeds. Link raised his sword, blocking another slash, but Sora slashed him upwards, bursting into the air himself. Both combatants were now in the air, blades locked, Sora underneath, Link above. Sora strained on as Link pushed downwards.

Locking onto the edges of Link's sword, however, Sora jumped upwards, raising his Keyblade, before delivering a mighty stab to Link's chest. Both were crashing downwards at full speed now, visible from far above, until they finally landed, a great blue light shining where they did, followed by small balls of light rising from the crater that was created.

Sora's Keyblade was buried in the ground now, with small balls of light dissipating where it was. A hand reached for the Keyblade. Sora lifted his weapon, spinning it in midair, before resting it on his shoulder.

Sora: I'm sorry..... Link.

KO!

* Sora then passed out from the pain before being found by Donald and Goofy.

* Link's Master Sword is embedded nearby with the Hero of Hyrule nowhere to be found.

Results

(A Link Between Hearts again)

Emma: I though it was gonna be more gory than that but then I remembered Kingdom Hearts is technically owned by Disney.

Jack: Link's generations worth of combat experience, much larger arsenal and greater intelligence gave Sora a run for his money and he definitely has more solo experience than the Keyblade Wielder, but Sora outclassed link in a lot of ways. While it'd true Link has a much larger arsenal to pull from, most of them are breakable and limited and Link never mastered most with the exception of the Master Sword whereas Sora Keyblade has a notably better track record, and can easily summon it if separated.

Popup: Link has potions that can regenerate mana and last for days, but Sora's magic can replenish in a few minutes. It's difficult to determine who would outlast the other.

Emma: Both matched each other's elemental powers blow for blow, possessed healing abilities. Link' Triforce of Courage could counter Sora's magic, but the same can be said for Sora who has dealt with similar magic based abilities before. Hell, even Link's Orcarina of Time and Sora's Power of Waking cancelled each other out since both can time travel and possess time manipulation.

 Jack: So it comes down to stats and this is where Sora held a huge edge. Link could move at 1.67 times lightspeed with his laser dodging feat, but Sora's comparable to Roxas who's Heart moved at 167 million times faster. No amount of experience or intelligence can close the gap with that.

Emma: Link's resume isn't to be overlooked, especially how Ganon created a Blood Moon while Majora pulled the moon from the sky, or even the time Ganon possessed the full power of the Triforce.....

Jack: But Sora is able to defeat Master Xehanort who, with the power of both the X-Blade and the Kingdom Hearts itself, stated that he was going to reshape the multiverse in his own image. And it was explicitly stated that very world in Kingdom hearts are their own separate universe. And Xehanort literally held the power of the multiverse in his hands.

Popup: Even with the Golden Goddesses' powers added, the full Triforce is universal at best, and Link only possessed 1/3 of that, let alone the entire Trifroce.

Emma: That's LEAGUES above what Link can dish out. Even if we seriously lowball that or divide it by 3, given Sora had Goofy and Donald's assistance, it's still far too much to Link to handle.

Jack: Link was a worthy combatant, but Sora's strength, speed, and Keyblade are enough to overcome the Hero of Hyrule.

Emma: Sora has the Key that's Linked to his victory.

Jack: The winner is Sora.
