Explanation time!

"Strength to move mountains"

As stated in the Ocarina of Time Nintendo power guide.  Physical strength alone is comparable to the force of a nuclear bomb, let alone the bonus equivalent force/abilitiy to harm people with durability on a planetary scale like he's got by being the Hero of Time, all that supernatural stuff.

"Mach 1300+"

By virtue of being no less than three times faster than this guy.

Really, his reaction time is a good several times faster than this even, quite possibly reaching into the Sub-Relativistic range, due to being able to control his movement while equipping the Pegasus Boots and Bunny Hood simultaneously, though an exact figure on that one is still being worked on. Still easily over Mach 5000, at least.

"versatility and attack variety out the wazoo"

His versatility is his primary gimmick in like, nearly every LoZ game ever. Try compounding over a dozen such games onto each other, see how that works.

"Hundreds, if not thousands of years of experience"

You know, that whole "retains hidden knowledge and insight passed down from past lives" deal?

"A kajillion hax"

Because slowing/going backwards in time, turning enemies into tiny, easily-killed slimes with the Spell Spell, making yourself invincible for over a month straight with 99999-rupee wallet plus Magical Armor, reality-warping with the entire triforce (Yes, Link has had it before), and more are all comparatiely tame hax, eh? And for the love of all that is holy, don't call no-limits fallacy on that shit, Percy's yet to have any way around any of that.

"Large Planet feat"

Due to, again, rotating the entire planet with the Sun's Song in no more than 5 seconds, likely fewer. You can ask any number of calc experts, most notably ClassicGameGuys (who did the calc in question, which regrettably I cannot find), this is a clearly quantifiable feat that generated kinetic energy and scales to people like Ganondorf, and Link in turn. After all, Ganondorf wields the Triforce of Power, a piece of a magical artifact that makes it's owner the strongest mortal in the world. It's sort of common sense that he's stronger than a couple of random composers with minimal plot relevance, even if they apparently were potent magic users as the case seems to be. Of course, you could argue "outlier" about now, but Link's got a plethora of Country-level to Planetary feats to fall back on, so that'll hold up about as well as wet papier mache.

Oh, the majority of these are from the Ocarina of Time alone, by the by.

In short? Please don't downplay Legend of Zelda. It gets really old, really fast.
