Should TP Link have a BotW key?

[The_real_cal_howard]

Considering how he can be summoned (in wolf form) into the game, and is comparable to that Link, should he get a 4-C tab via scaling to BotW Link and the Calamity Ganon, given that he's comparable?

 

[Dark649]

No, because this DLC is non-canon content because it is not relevant nor mentioned in the story. Breath of the Wild Link is at least Moon level and so as the same level of Twilight Princess Link because he fought a Weakened Calamity Ganon, who had the same tier as him until he assumed his strongest form, which is comparable to Demise but not as smart or has better control of himself.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

That's...not how DLC works, nor non-canon. DLC characters get their own scaling, but no one scales to them. Otherwise pre-Cooler DB movies or SF/AW characters would be unknown.

 

[Dark649]

There is another better reason, which is Ganondorf in Twilight Princess. In that game he is comparable to his humanoid forms from Ocarina of Time or Wind Waker and not comparable to his strongest form like Demise or Dark Beast Ganon.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

That's why I said a separate key. Not making it as a normal self.

 

[Dark649]

I don't think that's really necessary it is just an optional thing which did not happen (obliviously) in the main canon story, through he is comparable to other at least 5-C Links, but he needs a profile.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

If we're going story-wise, then Link doesn't have a good portion of items. It's the same Link in a different game, so he should get a key for it. Plus, BoTW Link is far above moon, given that Calamity wasn't weakened to that extent. He was weakened to slightly less than a quarter at worst.

 

[Dark649]

Let's make an example: If Tingle can be summoned via DLC and he happens damage to Ganon it is not because he is 4-C but because of the game-mechanic that outside help can damage all the bosses and is also not backed-up by the story.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Not true, still. Especially considering how the HW Tingle DLC is scaled to HW Link, Zelda, and co. Otherwise, all the HW DLC would be unknown. Heck, HW in itself is non canon and scales to the canon Triforce, the small island bomb calc, the FD Mask, and the Wind Fish.

 

[Dark649]

It is better to discuss with the other users about this and make a Breath of the Wild Link page before applying this.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Agreed. Was kinda hoping others would respond too.

 

[TheJ-ManRequiem]

While I agree that wolf link is noncanon in my opinion (not mentioned, not implied, requires an amiibos, and nothing suggests in game it's even an option) I'd be ALL for a tier 4 tingle, in fact tier 5 tingle off hyruke warriors ganon. Tgat sound fair because this is something I need.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

Top kek. But back to business.

Of course it's non canon lol. Not implying it was.

@Cal

I'm no Zelda expert, but if it's non-canon and DLC it probably shouldn't be added.

 

[The_real_cal_howard]

I guess. I just find it weird that this Link would summon a 5-C creature at all when he's somewhere in tier 4, if not, then really high tier 5.

I think that Reppuzan makes sense.
