Good sir, I accept your challenge. First- the monsters Link finds himself fighting nine times out of ten are things like jumping basket-creatures, or walking foxes/pigs that fall over with almost no effort. The bigger monsters he fights, while clearly an accomplishment not to diminish, does not indicate anything about a standard fight- you can't apply the same tactics to a normal fighter that you can a dragon, after all.

As for the bombs? Have you seen the blast radius on those things? Next to nothing. Sure if they hit, they're going to do major damage, but that's a big if- espicially because Ezio's free-running could make a world champion Parkour expert blush with shame. Plus, Link can hardly throw it more than a couple feet, and tends to damage to himself as well as his enemy. Add the long time it takes before the bomb goes off, and you have a weapon that is basically the epitome of "Awesome but Impracticle".

And Ezio jumps off fifty foot towers into carts of hay and rivers withouy exploding or breaking every bone in his body, he's clearly super-human (okay, that one was a joke, I can't help myself.)

I'm fine with live and let live, but you layed down the gauntlet, friend. Your rebutal?
