Talk:Link vs Percy Jackson/@comment-39035773-20190416130729/@comment-3463132-20190416164139

To elaborate for anyone who doesn't know Percy Jackson- Riptide is Percy's sword and it cannot hurt mortals, normal humans with no divine or monster blood in them, it'll pass through without doing damage. It will damage the environment just fine- it's specifically mortal humans it won't mess with because, "They're not important enough".

Link is emphatically not human, is definitely important enough by any objective measure of the term, and also quite plausibly has divine blood/power within him- Riptide should work out of principle.

And then Riptide should work anyways because Deathbattle would be silly if it didn't.
