PlasdurockPosted 2/15/2013 2:17:07 PM(edited) | Um think about that, the iron boots are attached to his feet.... They don't increase his mass, or density. It's not his weight, it's the weight of the boots holding him down. In twilight princess, Ocarina of time and wind waker, Link, can still be knocked over, when he's wearing them. If sonic rammed into him at top speed, he'd be ripped out of his boots.
You're not really thinking. I also said, sonic should probably be splattered like a bug, but in his games, he's somehow able to survive slamming into solid objects at high velocity, so he has some kind durability that prevents him from being a pancake.

UnicornTamer1Posted 2/15/2013 2:14:23 PM | 77 lbs (Sonic's weight) = 2.3 slugs
760 mph (Speed of sound) = 1115 feet per second
Force = (2.3 * 1115)/0.1
25645 pounds = 12 tons of force
Link should be able to survive anyway...

You're not really thinking. That's gameplay though. Keep in mind the iron boots are also heavy enough to pull a dragon down to earth, and yet Link can walk in them just fine --- Master of Gnomes, Keeper of Secrets Fluttershy's #1 Fan |
PlasdurockPosted 2/15/2013 2:24:14 PM(edited) | Does that equation take into account that you gain mass as you move faster?
We can't really use the dragon, since we don't know how much it can lift t to begin with. It's just more weight than it's wings can support. It's plausible that links legs are stronger than Agorok's wings. Link doesn't exactly 'walk" with them on either, he lumbers, he struggles to move.

I guess that would increase Sonic's weight to > 77 lbs, but the increase at the speed of sound isn't going to be that much. It's not like he's going light speed and pulling an infinite mass punch.. My point is even if Link goes flying, he should be able to survive the impact, because the force is only going to be around 12 tons. If he can survive 1,000 tons pressing down on him, he should be able to survive a 12 ton impact against his shield... and if he does go flying friction will slow him down, too --- Master of Gnomes, Keeper of Secrets Fluttershy's #1 Fan |
CrystalKing5426Posted 2/15/2013 2:28:30 PM | I think people here are underestimating Link. He's not gonna win, to be sure, but he's a stronger contender than most people give him credit for.

PlasdurockPosted 2/15/2013 2:33:48 PM | Would he be able to survive his inevitable crash landing? I know you're using the Screw attack video as references, but Id not count them as a reliable source. Heck for the Samus vs. Bobbafet video, they omitted quite a few facts in regards to Samus abilities.
