Zelda tiering and scaling revisions

Not open for further replies.
That's good, hopefully by the time the last few SS calcs are done I'll be done doing the calcs I'm doing so I can chip in again calc-wise.
 
the only notable ones left are Faron and Levia’s feat, Bambu said he’s gonna let me know when they’re done but idk if he’s gonna be done sooner or later.
 
There's definitely other notable ones but they can be figured out later to flesh things out, we just need some calcs for temple bosses is all atm, which is what these would function as.
 
If they are secondary feats that the majority of characters don’t need to have a tier then they can be saved for later.
 
Welp…. Low key hoping that volcano feat was around 7-B, but hey, we got a calc. Now we just need to get Levia and Faron’s feats done then we should discuss on where the characters’ new ratings should be.
 
Yeah, that's what happens when ya use in game proportions 😩
But it be like that sometimes sadly.

It's probably a low-end lore-wise, pretty sure that's Death Mountain which has been shown to be at least 900m in some games. But oh well.
 
Is anyone here able to do flood or storm calcs? Cause all we have left is Levia and Faron's feat.
 
Storm calcs yeah, I can do.

How we getting the size though? Because there's a few ways.
 
we can pixel scale skyloft, and use that to scale to the world map where you see the giant storm barrier and skyloft.
 
It is, just looking at other methods, I did some rough ones just to see and it can vary quite a bit depending on the how.
Unsure which method is the best overall so still looking at things.
 
While we’re waiting for Chariot and Bambu to finish the last remaining calcs, how about we make a list for where the new ratings go for each character just to get that out of the way?
 
So where is Vaati gonna be ranked at? Cause there’s no triforce or master sword for him to scale to.

Doesn't he scale to Hylia? I swear that was the reason he got the same wind fish scaling as everyone else did months ago, something about absorbing most of the Light Force which was Hylias source of power. If not then his storm feat from FSA would be the feat he'd get ranked by if we have a size for Hyrule in that game.

Besides that a lot of the scaling is clear cut, Hylia, Demise, SS Link, and Ghirahim scale to Island level due to Hylias cloud barrier, and any Link that wields the Master Sword also gets the same scaling since the Master Sword is what let SS Link clap Demises cheeks, only exceptions would be WW and BOTW Link who would also need an extra key for the brief periods they have a depowered Master Sword. Pre-Triforce of Power Ganondorf scales since he fought WW Link who by their final battle had regained the full power of the Master Sword, and the incomplete physical form of Calamity Ganon fights BOTW Link who at that point also has the full power of the blade during their battle (Whether or not he went through the Master Trials DLC doesn't matter, the Master Sword automatically regains it's full power whenever it's in the presence of Calamity Ganon). I think the four Blight Ganons might also scale to 6-C, it's not confirmed if Link has the Master Sword when he fights them, but I think AOC has them being able to compete with a Master Sword wielding Link, and the game also shows they're powerful enough to withstand the blue beams the Divine Beats fire, same beams that can harm Calamity Ganon (Although it should be noted they take way more damage from the beams that the calamity does).

I don't know how exactly we're handling the Malladus stuff, are we listing his calc as a possibly due to not knowing the exact specifics of how he'd destroy New Hyrule? I'm not sure if, for example, we're making Triforce of Power Ganondorf At least 6-C, possibly High 6-B or straight up High 6-B.
 
It’s likely gonna be a possibly rating as opposed to a concrete one.
Though correct me if I’m wrong, did Link get the master sword upgraded all the way by the time his second fight with Ghirahim happened or was it still incomplete?
 
I don’t know if normal ghirahim should scale to the master sword then. His transformed state can scale, but idk about his base since he lost to an incomplete sword.
 
So TL;DR, base and partial transformed ghirahim scales above Eldin and Faron, but full transformed scales to Master sword right?

6-C probably? He also has a storm, didn't bother calcing it because it'd end identical to Dust's Ganon's storm.
His castle thing can be used as a supporting feat.

Though Dust brings up a good point with Hylia which would result in the same tier anyhow.
 
Alright, I’m gonna try to make a list of the characters ratings later today, feel free to correct me if there’s any mistakes.

Are we treating Malladus as only a possibly? If so wouldn't that just make it support?
As I thought we were scaling ToP tier characters and above to "possibly High 6-A" via the giants/skull kid? Or are we not doing that?
 
Also I've been looking at Skyward Swords world to pin down good ways to calc the feats and I noticed something, notably Eldin Volcano, towers completely over the Faron Region despite being who knows how far away. So we're working with ****** sizes here, given how absolutely massive it is from a distance.
 
Unless I’m misremembering what we discussed the Malladus feat was what we were scaling the ToP

That was back when it was gonna be used as a benchmark. Maybe it got lost somewhere but pretty sure we talked about scaling ToP to Giants/Skull Kid with the caveat of "possibly".
Like maybe I'm full of shit but I recall me and Dust talking about that.
 
Looks like okay place holders for now, but Chariot makes some good points about calculations likely being heavily lowballed.
 
Last time I checked wasn’t that the main reason why the SS calcs were considered inflated in the first place? Because the world map was used to scale despite the actual map not reflecting that whatsoever?

disagree with tier 6 spirit tracks since everyone and their mother says thats the weakest version of link so they must be right
Jokes aside, I agree with Glass' proposal here. Atleast I have a reason to like Gyorg now, hated that creepy thing as a toddler.
