Drayco90's Edgy Edges of Edginess


 * Close Range- Link. The Master Sword is both a close and mid-range weapon, thanks to its ability to shoot beams of energy from its tip, until he sustains some damage. The Master Sword itself is a mystical sword enchanted to do extra damage to demons, which will cause Dante massive pain. Link is also a more seasoned and disciplined sword fighter- Dante's wild swings and ridiculous attacks would be easy enough for a master swordsman like Link to parry. The Hylian Shield is damn near ubreakable, and can stop any projectile or melee attack Dante could possibly muster.


 * Mid-Range- Dante. This range won't mean a whole lot in the scope of the battle, but Link's slingshot accuracy and brilliant use of a boomerange won't balance out the raw harming potential of the darts and throwing knives when combined with Dante's superior agility/mobility. The Slingshot is one of the most underappreciated weapons on this wiki, and can be seriously devestating in the hands of an accurate marksman like Link, but he simpy doesn't have the mobility to keep the actually lethal weapons at bay as he does damage with his nonlethal weaponry.


 * Long Range- Link. The Hero's Bow has greater range than Dante's guys here, and the trick arrows will be devestating against his foe. Dante may be able to fire at a faster rate, but he can't aim for shit, and apparently loads his guns with rubber or something, because those bullets are the most pathetic thing I've ever seen fired. The shield can easily block any of these bullets, and I'd rather have one-well placed explosive arrow to a dude's head or chest, than 50 inaccurate and random projectiles that will most likely be knocked away by a shield.


 * Deadliest Warrior- Link. Link is a more skilled warrior wielding more dangerous weapons and a neigh unbreakable shield that will easily deflect all of Dante's attacks. The demon hunter is all style, and no substance, and will easily be crushed under the Hero of Time's boot as he makes his way towards whatever new weapon he needs to rescue his princess.
