User blog:Affectos/Warriors of the Woodlands: Link vs Connor



















Link: The Hero of Time who time and time again fought back darkness, saved Hyrule, and defeated Ganandorf

VS

Connor Kenway: Assassin during the Revolutionary War who aided General Washington in bringing victory to America

This time around, we will be pitting two warriors who have strong connections to the nature and wildlife they sought to preserve from foes. We'll be comparing the blades, tools, and black powder weapons that made these men warriors as well as the powers that pushed them from warrior to legend.

To help in this fight, I've brought in some friends who think that there's free food in it for them. First is my good friend and spy inside Abstergo, Jyhet; next is me, Affectos, the team's assassin-in-training; finally, I am proud to introduce our first female judge and wielder of the lost piece of the Triforce, Beastly.

Before we break down the door and get the weapons out of the closet, I just need to clairy that this Link is the Twilight Princess version...okay, back to the weapons!

Close Range: Master Sword vs. Tomahawk
Jyhet: Range makes all the difference here since both are slashing/hacking weapons. Edge: Master Sword

Affectos: Range aside, the Master Sword also has an easier time of parrying and countering due to the longer blade. Edge: Master Sword

Beastly: Well...it's the Master Sword...actually, while the Tomahawk is best with one-on-one, the Master Sword is more capable at handling numerous foes. While the Tomahawk's length gives it more power, the Master Sword has a longer blade, hence the word 'sword' in it's name. Edge: Master Sword

 Overall Edge: Master Sword 

Mid Range: Gale Boomerang vs. Rope Dart
Jyhet: Let's face it, unless you're aiming to deal a concussion to Connor, it's basically useless. The Rope Dart can kill. Edge: Rope Dart

Affectos: While the Gale Boomerang is easier to use compared to the Rope Dart, the Rope Dart has more leathality. Edge: Rope Dart

Beastly: The Rope Dart gives you more options to grab and grapple to kill, but all the Gale Boomerang can do is give you a headache and pull you a little closer to Link. Unless you can use it to push someone off a cliff, it's not that useful. Edge: Rope Dart

 Overall Edge: Rope Dart 

Long Range: Hero's Bow vs. Apache Bow
Jyhet: When I look at them, I see two longbows, one with just a bit more craftmanship in metalworking than the other. To me it comes down to the user. Edge: Tie

Affectos: While I do agree with Jyhet, that extra bit of craftsmanship gives it the edge to me. Edge: Hero's Bow

Beastly: The Hero's Bow has a longer history and is more durable, as it was stored in a volcano in Twilight Princess. Edge: Hero's Bow

 Overall Edge: Hero's Bow 

'''Don't Vote until all overall edges are up. Black Powder, Special, and Special Powers to come!'''
