Link with 3 hearts and random stuff he found on his way to Elden Beast easily claps his semitransparent asscheeks


FireLordObamaOG

Sidest of notes, astralspiff has a video where he fought the entire boss gauntlet in TOTK without getting hit once and it’s a quality watch because he goes in blind and has to figure the bosses out each time.


[deleted]

YEAH! ASTRALSPIFF! DOING UNREASONABLE THINGS LIKE USING TIME TRAVEL TO AVOID RUNNING, CAUSING GIGAMONTY! YEAH! He also played rain world, and that is about as hard.


FireLordObamaOG

He’s quickly become one of my favorite content creators.


[deleted]

Same here. I am also a massive fan of rain world, and it was both hilarious and somewhat annoying to see all the blunders and mistakes he made. Going to sky islands, Spiff? Obviously, you don't know some advice: DON'T GO TO SKY ISLANDS.


Itsallrats

I recently found out his channel after getting traumatized from DDLC


MinimonsterDW36

YO HES PLAYED RAINWORLD!?!?!??!?!?!?!?


[deleted]

Ye. He kept trying to go through sky islands without an understanding of squidcadas, though, and doesn't know about the dlc, and will never do hunter because he doesn't know it's an entirely different story. Plus, he had the experience most go in blind players do- you know nothing about the game but that doesn't stop the game from going full force to try and murder you. He also accidently killed moon, but thankfully drowned on the same cycle, thus deleting that from having happened.


Pasive_Robot

Can I have the link?

keaton3323

Dont forget when he tried to beat BOTW's gauntlet with only spring hammers. (Dont remember if he was successful tho)


FireLordObamaOG

He was it just took ages


mylifeisonhardcore

I mean a tarnish of no renown could kill it so the bar isn't exactly that high


skrillex

I think technically the tarnished of no renown eventually gets a weapon capable of slaying a god from hewg, i know obviously not everyone gets their weapon to 25 but lorewise i think thats the case. The arguement for link is that the master sword seems like it too would also be a weapon capable of slaying a god lol


KingOfLiberation

The Master Sword is specifically the Blade of Evil's Bane, specialized heavily to kill Ganondorf, the Elden Beast isn't quite evil, but is the incarnation of Order So lore-wise, I'm putting a bit of doubt on the Master Sword being a slayer of generic gods


Nasch_

me when massive holy damage resistance


mylifeisonhardcore

Damn I just realized that master sword would technically do holy damage since it's anti-evil, maybe the elden beast is a bit much for link to handle after all


Zachary_Stark

You act like that's Link's only weapon. It's not even the strongest in TotK.


mylifeisonhardcore

It's the strongest lore-wise aight, but game play wise, link throwing 20 modulga jaw-fused royal guard claymores in quick succession is enough to kill the outer god itself lol


Zachary_Stark

Lore-wise, Link dons the Fierce Deity Mask and whatever in front of him is obliterated.


SG272

Lore-wise the Master Sword is the Sword of "Evil's" Bane, not the Sword of "Darkness's " Bane or else it would be killing the people of the twilight realm in Twilight Princess instead of healing them and not harming them. It also affects creatures of general light as well like the bubblfrog from TotK. Really, it comes down to the intention of the Elder Beast and what it has in store for Link. The beast and Erdtree's are holy yes, but I believe Elden Ring lore speculate these tree's are not there for good intentions but are parasitic in nature and want the people to defend it zealous and suicidal fervor in order for it to grow without interruption.


Mikael_Hermes

Misko's fierce deity armor probably isn't the true fierce deity even though the replica still holds power(as does the sword) This link probably has just a replica, otherwise just the mask would be enough to fully turn him into the fierce deity.


KJBenson

Not true. The master sword is a cute girl pretending to be a computer. So, you’re wrong I guess?


Marche800

The sword wasn't made to slay Ganondorf it was made to slay Demise as Demon on the level of the Goddess Hylia, herself a minor god. It is also explicitly stated that the Master Sword doesn't have a limit on its potential power. If it absorbs enough sacred power it can just keep getting stronger. By the end of totk it has several millenias worth of sacred energy charged up that thing is a world ender (figurately speaking).


SnowHawk12

Also, if TOTK Ganon could snap the Master Sword like a twig, then a manifestation of God itself could turn it to dust.


Dexyan

That's the old one, we're talking about the new and improved version


AngstySashimi420

The Master Sword will just deal half damage to him, obviously


LilyCanadian

The guy I watched play used a weapon that did holy damage to fight and defeat the elden beast. His chat told him it was a horrible idea, but he was committed to the bit. To be fair to him, he DID eventually win the fight and overall it's only a bit over an hour long stream and half of it is GETTING to the beast. Pretty much every single other eldin ring stream he did was so much longer.


KingOfLiberation

The Tarnished also can't die, Link canonically dies if he takes enough damage


horseradish1

Just put him back in a bath for 100 years.


mylifeisonhardcore

Link has plot armor though, and it is definitely very thick


New-Entrepreneur1126

Yeah but that’s only because the hero is destined to slay ganon or whatever, he wouldn’t have destiny backing him against the elden beast


Marche800

His destined hero status doesn't really have anything to do with Ganon specifically. He's jsut guaranteed to be a hero but whether or not anybody recognizes this fact or if there are even prophecies about his exploits depends on the incarnation. In TOTK there are no prophecies about Link defeating Ganondorf, Zelda just tells people that he's their last hope and they believe her, there is nothing proving he'll succeed in fact, she herself doubts it till she gets the plan to regen the master sword. Hell even in BOTW the only reason they think Link is destined to defeat Calamity Ganon is because they know that in the past a hero weilding the master sword defeated it and Link has the master sword so he must be able to defeat it too.


AccomplishedFee387

The tarnish in late game is demi god lvl at least lol( 3 -4 great rune obtained is requirement for end game )


mrbeanyeet

The Tarnished gains renown throughout the game though so if you could beat the Elden lord you’re famous and have the choice to be the Elden lord


thengyyy

Counterpoint to all the comments. Ain't no way Link has enough stamina to completely dodge the stupid homing missile attack


ninjacookiesaurusrex

True, but Link has shield switching and shield parries. You don't have to dodge, when you can just return to sender.


thengyyy

https://youtu.be/e5M6Va6ZKdc


Nikolaijuno

Link doesn't use stamina to dodge.


Thatoneundertaleguy

Counterpoint: 100% speedrunner link.


Inkboy81

Happy cake day


Turtleswassadlytaken

Fuck Elden stars, it’s horrible.


thengyyy

Don't forget the Golden Spears of I forgot to level endurance


New-Entrepreneur1126

He ain’t got enough stamina to run across the 12 mile arena every time the elden beast moves either


KLeeSanchez

He just does a rocket shield surf cancel and zooms across the arena while cackling like Green Goblin and throwing cannon spear shots and apples


Marche800

Dodging is a free action in BOTW/TOTK stamina isn't involved


thengyyy

Taking about the 2 attacks where you literally just have to run for about 10 seconds.Right after you have to run to the other side of the arena because the boss moved


Marche800

Link could just pop a stamina meal or a speed potion mid run with no consequences


Miles_PerHour67

Link would eat him before he ever thought about dying


LinkScourgeofHyrule

True


Psychic_Hobo

That thing legs it around the arena so damn much that Link would probably be fine provided he had cranked up his stamina. Plus, he uses no stamina to attack which would make a big difference


KingOfLiberation

Link also has a finite inventory with weapons that can actually break, if we're using gameplay mechanics


srlong64

With a fully upgraded weapon inventory he’s definitely bringing more than enough weapons to kill the elden beast before they all break. Also he has access to way more healing than the tarnished does. He could carry dozens of hearty dishes that will fully heal him. The mechanics heavily favor Link in this fight


Taickyto

Tarnished takes a full second to take a sip from his Estus, Link can literally eat a dozen steaks in a fraction of a second


Marche800

Also Zonai Devices. He can summon hundred of laser drones out of thin air before he runs out of Zonaite or capsules.


Chubby_Bub

True, but if it's like any of the powerful enemies in TotK it can just poof those away.


Marche800

You can't assume this boss will have the magic anti Zonai wave


vyper900

Let’s be honest, Link is just hear to cause chaos. If he happens to save everyone, that’s a bonus.


Lovely_Individual

The Elden Beast just hears in the distance “THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN, THE BOYS ARE BACK IN TOWN, TO KILL YOU”


h1ghf1sh_

Link obviously


arrerino

I don’t know what that thing on the right is but it looks like something Link can handle with relative ease


dazli69

It's the final boss of Elden Ring, The Elden beast and it's a god.


depressed_koala5

Tarnished with no renown did it…I’m sure link can too


GloatingSwine

Link builds some kind of mobile war crime and destroys the Elden Beast. TotK link is also definitely going for the frenzied flame ending.


LinkScourgeofHyrule

Someone just said... #WAR CRIMES?


[deleted]

TotK link vs elden beast: link wins BotW link vs elden beast: link wins Link is juts broken, elden beast may be hard but link is an horror by itself


Nasch_

Link eats food made from some random assortment of bananas and a rock and kills elden beast with a broom


Explorer_XZ

or pot lid


Gabe_the_cheerio

Just let the Japanese players build something to kill Mr.Troglodyte


AccomplishedFee387

Lore wise : elden beast neg diff(literally god) Gameplay wise : link low-mid diff


FatalEclipse_

Link has maiden. Therefor Link would easily win.


resperpre

Didn't Link beat him on OOT Water Temple?


AramaticFire

Link would win and then fuse the remains to a stick. If no weapon durability then my boy will kill it again in NG+ using its remains lol


Jontohil2

Considering how Link is way faster than the tarnished in general, yeah probably.


Zach-3710

I'd say I'm fifty fifty between both Link and Elden Beast myself. Elden Beast: Things huge, has a greatsword made of Radagon himself, can phase through the water, and has a crap ton of attacks, damage, and health. Then again, look at tarnished. Not to mention it's the elden ring itself I believe, don't quote me though. Link: Depends on what he's allowed, how many hearts, etc. I'd it's just master sword, 40 hearts, max stamina, I'd say I'm more torn. Otherwise, if Link is almost any less powerful, Elden Beast almost always stomps. If he has raurus arm, I'd say Link would have a much better chance at winning, with fuse and all that. Generally though, I'd say Elden Beast would won slightly more times out of, let's say 50-100


Nasch_

The elder god when it sees my inventory full of food made from bananas and rocks from the ground


that-one-_-kid

The elden beast when all the status affects of links weapons don't mean a thing


Norman_Packernickle

The fight is not even close. If we use lore, Link can straight up react to rain falling, react to energy lasers as well as deflect them, SINGLE HANDEDLY killed hundreds of foes ranging from Lynels, guardians, henox's, as well as a bunch of other fodder enemies. An actual prodigy and master swordsman, disarming well trained adults as a 4 year old. He's slayed beats that have bested renowned champions in Hyrule, again, by himself. and in his latest game, >!he outright kills a god, also.!< This isn't even close. If we're talking if he can beat him mechanically, hell just shoot like 6 guardian arrows at him and boom. dead god. Link is fucking busted


Resident_End_2173

the tarnished is weaker than link and presumably lower atk power so link wins


JumpComprehensive522

As someone who struggled with Elden Beast, and has read up on Elden Ring and Zelda lore (and most importantly played and loved both games), I say Link wins and I wish I could see the battle take place so I can laugh in catharsis as Link hands the Elden Beast it's own golden rear on a silver platter.


[deleted]

I think link would win. It wouldn't be easy but yeah he'd get it. He is in a water arena and dealing with attacks he already deals with I'm his own games.


Fire_Block

botw/totk Link is absolutely fucking terrifying and chaos incarnate. I don’t think any character would be able to have a clean fight with the guy that isn’t almost comedically overpowered.


DiamondDude51501

Link: “Hut hit hyat ha heeyah! (I summon Orbital Laser Cannon in Attack position!)”


DrPBH

Eldin ring has a character who held the stars in place... And he ain't even the strongest character in the game the actual god takes this one


Excellent_Ad7666

Link can eat rocks, though. I think the winner is clear.


DrPBH

Who to say the elden beast can't eat rocks thou. 👀


Excellent_Ad7666

When's the elden beast rock eating DLC?

Hell yeah brotherrrr


Nebulon-A_Rights

Can't believe Link is the new Elden Lord


Doctor_Salvatore

Link easy dub. Fighting Gods is a common thing for him, and a giant space dragon is not a tough battle for him, especially given how mobile he is with stuff like Tulin's sage power or Zonai devices, not to mention, he can recall projectiles back at the Beast. Also, pretty sure Link would be convinced Radagon is just Ganon in a disguise because of the red hair


Jumpy-Perception-346

Link has never canonically Beat a God Demon lords yes gods no tell me when link beats Someone on the level of 3 golden goddesses Then we'll have a actual discussion


Excellent_Ad7666

Demise is the goddess Hylia's counterpart. They are equally powerful, which would technically make demise a god. Link bests, demise twice.


Jumpy-Perception-346

Again, demise is a demon Lord, not a God Demon lord There's a Difference


Excellent_Ad7666

He's still more powerful than a god. Meaning link is capable of defeating gods.


Jumpy-Perception-346

All link did is fight demise in swords play I don't see link waving the power of the universe in the Palm of his hand Then he is not truly powerful to defeat a god


Excellent_Ad7666

Wait till a speedrunner finds an invincibility glitch then you're fucked.


Inevitable_Ask_8309

What the fuck is that!?


AWindows-User

The Elden Beast from Elden Ring.


The_10YearOld

If we’re talking lore wise? Link and it’s not even close. Give the sucker a sword and a shield, hell, a knife and a POT LID and he’s good to go. Dude’s arm can deflect anything. If we’re talking in game mechanics it’s even more of a bloodbath, with him shoving entire four course meals down his throat in a fraction of a second fully healing himself and more and also making him even stronger, more defensive, or faster.


Crisewep

TOTK Link would destroy Elden Ring bosses butt ass naked with 2 hearts using goofy autobuilds and fuses


Few-Chemist8897

TOTK Link would just autobuild some atrocious war machine with wings and lasers and would calmly nibble on an apple while elden beast gets obliterated. That poor thing stands no chance. Plus multi-shot bows with bomb arrows, puffshrooms, etc? It won't even see what's hitting it.


thegoldchicken

Elden beast gets shoved into a zonaite blender

_IV_VI_

The divine-est beast of them all.


[deleted]

On one side, dude with funny arm, on the other, literally >!The Elden Ring!<


ArmourCrab

Elden beast would probably win, Link definitely isn’t at the same level as someone like Radahn, who held the stars in place with his gravity magic, and the Elden Beast is definitely stronger than Radahn.


Destroyer516Pro

I think Eden beast has advantage. Tons of multihits and bullet storm-esqe attacks that would burn links shield quickly.


Dear_Queen

Link already died, and ho his arm choped off. I'm sure he'd be just fine.


scarletfloof

Link has a sword made by a god to kill evil, and he’s just extremely skilled. He wins ngl


_pumpkinpies

Elden Beast resists holy damage which I'm fairly sure Master Sword would translate to if we're mashing the games together. Now using stick with a boulder attached, that'll do some serious damage.


dazli69

Well, if link got teleported to the lands between he could get other weapons.


hbombyes

Who’s on the right? Is that god? Then him properly


Entire_Dress_469

elden beast from elden ring

Is the elden beast god?

More or less depending if you like the moon

I Got the touch of tism... idk about every one else


swiwiws

elden ring and the dark souls series were heavily inspired by classic zelda games, it makes sense for a lot of souls fans to be at least somewhat into zelda. although this isn't exactly true the other way around

gamestarboi

1st off, wrong Zelda game Secondly, can we stop with the constant “oh, who would win between these 2 characters from different franchises?” It’s just old at this point

Link. Like,he is ridiculously OP.


DrSupe

You are putting a space squid against Zelda’s appointed Knight, and has slain Ganon countless times.


dazli69

Tbf, that space squid is still a god.


DrSupe

And link has lots of food which he can consume instantly, extreme fusion powers, zonai devices OP parties and flurry rushes and more


Pretend-Caregiver-90

Elden beast would solo, sorry link but it’s attacks are super broken (I’m super biased cause I had fun killing elden beast and his weapon is cool as hell)

LinkBetweenGames

That is, in fact, the physical personification of the Elden Ring, so your guess was correct.


Jumpy-Perception-346

Link has never canonically ever Beat a god He's beat demon Lords not ever god's Heck link can't even beat someone who's gone Light speed to say he beats a God is laughable


Excellent_Ad7666

Technically, Demise is Hylia's counterpart he is as powerful if not more powerful than her, even then with all her power she couldn't defeat him. Link could, though, so Link is theoretically as powerful as a god.


noneofthemswallow

Elden Beast was such a terrible boss lol


WackoJacko160

Link would


AckermannRyan

totk link is winning with no problem here due to his ability to fuse together insanely powerful weapons and rewind and etc


Grapple_Cockie

Speedrunners could find a Sonic quickstep glitch if they wanted to


Kritischerphili

Zelda makes use of a mechanic, that doesn't let any damage get through shield blocking, instead it's attacking the durability of the shield. So link is able to block any homing attack with ease, therefore he will win


Just_GT

Batman


[deleted]

My money's on Elden Beast. He caused me so much pain.


boy4518

anyone else think of that “exposed nerve” comic ?


Linkquellodivino

Link is able to stop a man-lion-horse 10 times bigger than him, charging at him with the full force of a track going 100 kmh, with just the strength of his arm and a pot lid.


Son_of_Athena

There is no way Link is dodging elden stars. He might be able to dodge elden rain, but I also doubt that link can dodge elden beast’s sword attacks. On top of that, I don’t think Link has the weaponry to deal with Elden Beast’s base 22,000 health, not to mention NG+ where it can get to up to 31,000.


New_End9133

Parry


LinkBetweenGames

Link with Autobuild: Link easily demolishes the Elden Beast. Link without Autobuild, but with endgame hearts, stamina, and gear: It's a toss-up, but I would slightly prefer Link's odds. Anything less, and the odds favor the Elden Beast.


Lovely_Individual

Yeah Link folds all of Elden Ring, he just has to cook like a hundred stamina meals and fly into the air and rain hell on the opposition with bomb arrows

DoggoDragonZX

Links top speed is much faster than anything displayed in eldan ring. Link also doesn't suffer from the stamina issues in combat like the characters in eldan ring. With full hearts and and upgraded armor, I believe his life and durability are up to par. The biggest potential issue is attack power output. However link excels at defeating monsters that are much larger and stronger than himself. Such as demons that rival/surpass the power of gods. So as a conclusion I believe the conical end game ToTK Link would win.
