User blog comment:Redkite/1, Dovahkiin (Skyrim) vs. Link (Twilight Princess) + I'm back on the Wiki/@comment-422690-20120727210838

Close range: Master Sword wins. It's a magical weapon, after all. Edge: Link.

Shield: Hylian Shield wins. Why? well, its design covers more vital areas while being lighter, for one. For the other, it has blocked higher magic than the Dovahkiin's. It has blocked Ganondorf's magic, which is powerful enough to let him masquerade as a god. Edge: Link.

Armor: Dovahkiin wins. His armor is tougher and more reliable, and he is also able to maneuver in it fairly well. Edge: Dovahkiin.

Magic: Din's Fire wins. I've never been sold on Dragon Shouts, since there's too much of a reset timer. Link can just keep casting until his magic meter runs out, drink a green / blue potion, and keep at it. Edge: Link.

Overall: Link wins. He has faced tougher foes (without level scaling, might I add), and has better weapons, a better shield, and better magic. The Dovahkiin is simply outclassed by most warriors here, link being the least.
