Talk:Drifter vs Link (BOTW)/@comment-37487952-20181213191205/@comment-36009915-20200121021121

I can't say whether you're right or wrong about the winner, but I do think you have some things off. First, I don't think arrows would do as much as you say against the Drifter. He fights enemies with ranged weapons all the time, and probably has the experience and moveset to make Link's arrows ineffective. Link's defense probably does beat the Drifter's, but the Drifter makes up for it with his dash ability, which should enable him to dodge anything Link throws at him. The Drifter also frequently fights off foes more powerful than himself.

I think Link would have a really tough time hitting the Drifter, but his toughness and ability to heal quickly could get him the win in the end
