Link[]
Wiz: War and armed conflict between two different sides.

Wiz: He can also do a powerful Spin Attack with his sword which can damage enemies from a range.
Boomstick: There are many incarnations of Link.

Before the Battle[]
Wiz: Alright, the combatants are set.
Boomstick: It's time for a Death Battle!
Death Battle[]
At night time in Hyrule, Link is riding on his horse Epona when suddenly he hears a sound. He gets off Epona to see who is there. He encounters Batman.
FIGHT!
Batman throws a batarang at Link which is blocked with the Hylian Shield. Link then charges at the Dark Knight and slashes with his legendary Master Sword, knocking down Batman. The Caped Crusader rises to his feet and Link does more slashes with his Master Sword, but Batman managed to dodge each of them.
Batman then throws punches at Link, socking the Hylian hero in the face and causing pain to Link. He then ties up Link with his bolas. As Link struggles to break free, the bolas detonates, sending him flying in the air.
Link lands on his feet and pulls out his boomerang. He throws it and it hits Batman. The Champion of Hyrule uses the opportunity to throw energy beams from his sword at Bruce, knocking Batman down. Link then equips his Iron Boots and steps on Batman's chest. He is about to stab Batman with his Master Sword, but the Dark Knight uses his strength to grab Link by the leg and throw him off.
Bruce throws a smoke pellet to the ground. Link is confused by where Batman is. Suddenly, Batman emerges from the wall of smoke and leaps in the air, delivering a devastating kick to Link.
Batman then sprays an explosive gel into the ground which explodes and sends Link flying backwards. Link lands on his feet and equips the Pegasus Boots. Link dashes towards the Dark Knight at incredible speeds and shoots arrows at Batman's chest.
Bruce takes the arrows out of his chest and runs at Link. He slides and grabs Link with his feet, taking him down with his legs. Batman pulls out an explosive batarang and tosses it.
Link sees the incoming projectile and blocks it with his shield. Link is sent flying backwards, but takes little damage thanks to the Hylian Shield. The Hylian hero charges at Batman again and throws his boomerang again which Batman dodges this time.
The boomerang returns to Link's hand and Batman uses the opportunity to deliver a series of punches and kicks to Link. Link blocks some of the attacks with his shield and charges up a Spin Attack which sends Batman flying backwards.
Batman uses his grappling hook to lock on to Link. After grabbing Link with the grappling hook, Bruce kicks Link with both feet, knocking the swordsman down.
As Link stands up, Bruce uses his high-voltage suit and stun gun to temporarily electrocute Link, stunning him and immobilizing him. As Batman is about to deliver the final blow, Link snaps out of the effects of the taser.
Link throws several bombs into the ground. Batman protects himself with his cape, but is still sent flying into the air and backwards.
Link then slashes at the Dark Knight multiple times with the Master Sword and finally across Batman's chest. Link then stabs the Master Sword where the cut is, causing Batman to drop the ground, lifeless. As Batman's lifeless body lays on the ground, Link rides off on Epona in search of Princess Zelda.
K.O.!
Conclusion[]
Boomstick: Wow! That was epic.
Wiz: Indeed it was. While Batman was smarter, more agile, and more experienced, Link's superior physicality proved too much for even the Dark Knight.
Boomstick: Both Link and Batman had similar gear but Link's Pegasus Boots allowed him to increase his speed even further and easily dodge any of Batman's projectiles.
Wiz: Right, and Link has fought more powerful enemies than Batman has. Batman defeating powerful foes usually required weeks or even months of prep time and planning.
Boomstick: Looks like the Master Sword was the Link to Batman's defeat.
Wiz: The winner is Link.
