By adding up all of Link's hearts throughout the games, I have found
The only picture I could find.
that Link's full heart total is surprisingly 309, not including Hyrule Warriors. At the end of Skyward Sword, you fight a being able to conjure up lightning (which can be 5x hotter than the surface of the sun). Link gets struck by this lightning in the battle, giving him 2 hearts of damage. Lightning bolts usually heat the air around it to 60,000-100,000 degrees fahrenheit, we'll call it 90,000 degrees because the lightning bolts were pretty big. 308 x 90,000 = 27,720,000 + 45,000 = 27,765,000 total degrees to kill him, without any defense multiplier at all. To put that into perspective, 27,765,000 degrees is 279.31x the surface of the Sun's temperature, or 765,000 degrees over the core's temperature. What if I added the defense multipliers? Well, let's see if I can name them all: Blue Ring(› damage), Red Ring(¼ damage), Blue Tunic(› damage), Red Tunic(¼ damage), Defense upgrade(¼ damage, Phantom Hourglass), Blue Bracelet(› damage), Great Fairy's Spell OOT(› damage), Great Fairy's Spell MM(› damage) Green Ring(¼ damage), Blue Clothes(› damage), and Shield Spell(› damage) . With all of these put together, Link can take 32,768x the amount he could before. So, 27,810,000 x 32,768 = a whopping 911,278,080,000 degrees F, hotter than 8,000 supernovas, which explodes at a force of 10 octillion megatons each, or 80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 megatons, or 80 nonillion megatons of force. But this is just when he's in his base form. Fierce Deity multiplies Link's stats by 4, Angry Deity multiplies that by 2, and Vengeful Deity multiplies THAT by 2. So we would have something like this:
Base form: 80,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 megatons
Fierce Deity: 320,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 megatons
Angry Deity : 640,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 megatons
Vengeful Deity: 1,280,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 megatons
Remember, THIS IS WITH EVERY POSSIBLE DEFENSE MULTIPLIER IN THE SERIES.
With Hyrule Warriors in the mix, an extra 57 Hearts get thrown in(Source:
http://www.gamefaqs.com/wii-u/745183-hyrule-warriors/answers/385334-as-of-now-how-many-hearts-can-a-characters-have-max) giving a total of 366 Hearts. Using the same formula, 366 x 90,000 = 32,940,000 total degrees. 32,940,000 x 32,768 = 1,079,377,920,000 degrees. This would be hotter than 9475 supernovas, or 94,750,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 megatons, so our new chart would look like this:
Base form: 94,750,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Fierce Deity: 379,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Angry Deity: 758,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Vengeful Deity: 1,516,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
This is including the Defense Multipliers, but does NOT include the Defense Upgrades, which do things like reduce damage by 75% on most stages or completely nullify knockback on the first 3 hits.
In Twilight Princess, when Link gets shot by a Fire Arrow, it barely knocks off a quarter heart. ┬╝ x 4 = 1, 309 x 4 = 1236 maximum Fire Arrows to kill him, again with no defense multipliers. If we use the same multiplier from before, 1,236 x 32,768
= 40,501,248 Fire Arrows to kill him. And it'll most likely be more than that, because the bare minimum amount you can take as damage is a quarter heart, the same amount he takes when he falls off a mountain.
Base form: 40,501,248 Fire Arrows
Fierce Deity: 162,004,992 Fire Arrows
Angry Deity: 324,009,984 Fire Arrows
Vengeful Deity: 648,019,968 Fire Arrows
This also includes the Defense multipliers.
Criticism is welcome, I'm just throwing math at the wall to see what sticks here.
