It's been a while since I talked about Legend of Zelda, and since Nintendo released a teaser trailer for Breath of The Wild 2, I figured it was about time we revisited the franchise. I've talked a LOT about this world, its timelines, and pretty much every version of Link there is - so what's left? Well Theorists, today we are doing some heavy lifting and figuring out just how strong our hero Link REALLY is!

I think Mat missed the chance to call Link's muscles the Triceps of Power
lmao
wasted opportunity
Good one
well true
The Golden triceps
Matt: "But hey, that's ju-"
Me: "HOLD UP! You said how strong Link was to lift the rock, but what about the height and distance he threw it BACKWARDS?"
This theory ain't over yet, folks
Dang it Matpat make sure you finish the video AFTER you sleep.
Not to mention the grip strength required to lift it despite not having the center of gravity in his favor
I wish it would be the end of this theory and the other theories he was working on before Xmas and after New Years need to be finished like his hiimmarymary theory it’s been over for a while know and I’d l like to know his thoughts on it
What about how strong his back has to be to also lift it
@@bellechloe5159 yeah
Links stamina bar actually is really impressive. Every second is equivalent to 1 minute in game. Which means he’s sprinting at full speed for around 10 seconds at least.
Underrated comment
You mean ten minutes at least.

I would like to see a theory on how much force would be needed to wrestle the Gorons in twilight princess
I think he mentioned that at some pint in the "battle of Links" episode
yeah but the hero of time is the one that taught twilight princess link how to fight in the first place
@@xenoncry3413 Swordplay doesn't equal Sumo wrestling.
It's not like he made him lift weights.
Not only that, but Twilight Link already knew how to fight. The Hero's Shade only taught him advanced techniques. That's like saying that my college professor, who taught Linear Algebra, was the one responsible for teaching me everything else I learned in school (Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, etc).

"To lift it cleanly off the ground."
-Matthew, Talking about the Granite Pillar
I want to actually know how much strength it would take to not only lift it, as he says, but you need to remember he threw it overhead with enough force to cause a violent fragmentation. Perhaps we can get that answer here in the comments?
Thank you, that's what I wanna know
I was hoping he would
Also, im not sure if he counted the fact that with the silver gauntlets, Link was pushing the block against 3 different surfaces
It was also a different block to find out how much stronger link would have gotten the same block should have been pushed with each glove
According to my (very rough and probably wrong) calculations, estimating starting conditions of-
200 meter throw height,
0.75 seconds to reach max throw height
0.2 acceleration period where he holds onto the pillar
mass of the pillar given in the video
I estimate that the force he is applying over that 0.2 second period is 1.6 billion N or 37 million lbs.
I may have gotten some conditions incorrect or something but overall I would say somewhere in the ballpark of this range.
EDIT: I forgot to factor in gravity into my calculation, so the true force that he would be applying would be the force I said above added to the force of gravity acting on that pillar, making it even more than what I said.
Steve be like: “Don’t mind me just carrying the volume of the sun”
*volume of endless universes*
Link can do that while slowing down time, wheight is just another property if things for him
@Roel nice one
Dont mind me just carrying unbreakable thing
@@tamoozbr Actually, due to shulker boxes, steve can litterally carry infinate wheight depending on how many different shulkers he uses
Not to mention he can parry the shield so fast and with enough force to stop a lynel dead in its tracks without being pushed back at all
I watched a video calculating how much force that would take but I forgot the numbers
@@justyourfriendlyneighborho903 1 small jet engine
Reflects a guardian's laser shot which has enough power to 1 shot even a full 20 heart Link and explodes at the end so has compression and force behind it unlike the normal laser

MatPat: Lemme try character strengths!
Austin: Stand down, final warning
@Over 900000 8000*
So quick fact, the shield isn't iron, it's canonicaly steel.
Meaning that he's lifting EVEN HEAVIER weights than before.
I thought his shield was titanium?
@@errinsk9 nope, wiki says steel.
You mean he is lifting even heavier weights, weights don't get stronger
@@XENOX-777 Idontknowwhatyouretalkingabout.
It's actually canonically Hylian steel, which is supposedly more dense than average steel. I can't find a direct source for this, but it was in one of the games.

Someone else calculated the force Link exerts when he parties a Lynel in BOTW, and that was another big number.
And the thrown fist of a Talus. That was also a big number.

I love how you end the episode with him lifting a 146m, 1.5 million pound object from two points in the worst position to grab it from (best out of it, though) and then never even mention him *YEETING IT 500 METERS BEHIND HIM!!*
I believe that the measurements were actually supposed to be 14.6 m for the height and 3.0 m for the width. 146 m would slightly exceed the height of the Great Pyramid of Giza.
@@BalkanGames
The more you know. 😋
(Duly noted.)
Then that would make the distance around 50 meters.

I think another impressive feat with Link is in breath of the wild. My guy can swing that Hylian shield (and other ones that are more likely solid metal) fast enough and strong enough to perfectly re-direct laser blasts, Talos rocks, Hinox arm slams, and Lynel everything's!
And in totk you can attach a boulder to a sheild and he can continue like it is nothing

Kirby: *Karate chops Popstar*
Increasing a limb up to near light-speed should take less Force/work ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But how big is popstar. Kirby isnt even a foot tall.
In Kirby 64, the planet 'Shiver Star' is what appears to be a post apocalyptic Earth, thereby making Popstar similar in size.
funniest comment in this video XD
@@jimmybowman6294 As we see in Milky Way Wishes (same game the planet splitting feat comes from) Popstar is the largest planet in the kirby universe, and is even larger than it's own sun, however this all means nothing as the sun and moon could be the two boss enemies from earlier games, however, in Milky Way Wishes one could argue that there's a bit of perspective trickery going on, as you can see kirby huge in comparison to Popstar when in Megaton Punch he isn't even visible on the surface.
Basically the math at absolute minimum would be like Kirby compared to the sun compared to Popstar which would probably yield an insane amount of force.
But that's not even his best feat, his best is definitely the "World Crisis" in star allies, where he bats an insanely large meteor 9999 lightyears and smashes it through multiple celestial bodies along the way, all in about 5-10 seconds.
link: lifts 1.5 million lbs
steve: *laughs in block*
enchanted golden apples consist of 8 gold blocks in the past, and a single apple, making one, which means 1 enchanted golden apple will weight 154560.8 kg, which is 267081062.4kg per shulker box due to the fact that there is 27 slot and 64 enchanted golden apple per slot, adding up to 267081062.4kg, then an inventory can hold 36 items but because of the off hand that increases to 37, which is 9881999308.8kg for 37 shulker filled to the brim with enchanted golden apples, since the enchanted golden apple recipe have been remove, it means nothing, because it still consist of the same things even tho the recipe is removed because when you craft it before 1.9 and then bring it to 1.9 and after wheere there is shulker box, you spent the same amount of gold, so steve can hold 9881999308.8kg, which is 10 billion kg if you round it off and 9.88 Mega tons.
which is literally more then link....
but if you were to use gold blocks, its just a simple Divison of 8, but then because the apples, even if you Divide it by 10, which is way less than it should weight, its still, millions of kg, sooooo steve is stronger
Kenhel Austin does another episode on putting embedded chests into embedded chests and find out that Steve can walk around with 10^505 universes in his pocket so ya I ain’t putting much hope on link

Sorry for being a "well actually" person but as someone who deadlifts, a lot of it is in the legs. Lifting with your arms or spine is like an instant injury. So Link deadlifting that giant stone was just as much a leg strength feat.

One thing: that wasn't truly base strength Link. That was Goron Bracelet strength. Even as Adult Link, if you have not collected the Goron Bracelet as Young Link, you won't even be able to lift a bush off the ground.
@sahib jacthceth galvez The game still checks for it... This is common knowledge for people who play rando... Why? Idk the devs were lazy I guess

MatPat: "Is Link the strongest video game character?"
Steve with a full inventory of shuliker boxes with gold blocks: "Hold my pickaxe."
Well, adding the Skulker boxes to the equation would probably decrease the weight from a block of gold, due to likely being multidimensional in nature, and thus, shunting it's mass into another dimension, making it less affected by gravity. (Plus this fits with Skulkers projectiles). Plus, all item entities in Minecraft float in water, meaning they have a density lighter than water. Yes, even the blocks of gold. This is something intrinsic to the world, not just Steve, as TNT, Creepers, and other explosions, will also result in blocks being turned into item entities.
@@NomekopLightspeed True, I didn't think about the water floating part before, that's quite interesting.

You also have to consider friction resistance because the floor the blocks are being pushed/pulled along are often made of stone as well.

I assume adult link doesn’t have the goron bracelet in the future because it rusted away into dust, I’m not sure what kind of metal would rust away like that in 7 years but it’s like magic and what not lol
It's not on his character model though. So it's not unreasonable to think he's not wearing it, even if it bugs out
Fun Fact: the kilogram measurement at 7:22 is a palindromic number. If you reverse the digits, the number is still the same.
What about Scribblenauts Maxwell. You can add the adjective "carryable" to anything and he can carry it even building larger then him, he can carry mythical creatures, he can carry planets, under his arm. whilst having a giant backpack full of people on his back, and if you add the adjective ridable to him people can sit on him, with all of it being heavy metals even if he can one thing in his hands at a time, he is undoubtedly the strongest video game character, but he's also a child, but you can change him to a baby. He can do the same things, but he's smaller and wears dippers. (Tots is the character.)
Death Battle: “didn’t we do these calculations years ago?”
Cloud Strife: “I thought we said we’d never speak of that again.”
That battle was b.s. mixed multiple different links and gave him items while cloud got diddly
Death battle is a joke
@@soraceant Absolutely true! They put an imaginary Link which is never seen in ANY of his games against a lv. 0 Cloud and still had to fudge things to force Link to win. That's some unbelievable bias right there.
Yeah, Death Battle is kinda.. Ugh... Like, Dio would beat Dracula!
Oof y’all saltier than me at the Green Lantern vs Ben Ten fight. Anyways, it was a bad matchup in total, because DB always takes the composite character, vs an iteration of a character. The problem is that Cloud strife doesn’t have 10 games to composite, but link of course does.
Kirbster: Slams meteor eclipsing his planet 9999 light years away in 23 seconds
Game Theory: Is Link the strongest character in video game history
Kirbster: :(
Goldlight101
The anime isn't canon to the games
well, he DID say stronger than 99% of characters.
@@nightwalker174 ruclips.net/video/qt6htoDftzI/видео.html
From the game and before you ask the mini games are canon.
That was in a game

You guys have to fight to stay alive! I'd miss all the new ways to have my mind blown by the series I grew up with! Long live the Game Theorists!
I love it how matpat is even counting the weight of the gloves it’s self
Nobody:
Matthew: Is Link the STRONGEST Video Game Character?
Kratos, Asura, Bayonetta: Hold my beer
Me: Which Link? There's dozens of them
i think Botw link is the strkngest base link and Oni link being stronger than every other link lol
@@RinkuHeroOfTime why did you put lol in IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SENTENCE
DOOM GUY: Am I a joke to you!?
Laughs in Kirby*
What about Doom guy and the Dark Souls character you controll??
Joke: overused
Response: let’s all do it
Me: I actually like the long math problems and watching matpat’s explanations of said math
Hotel: Trivago
@@tapirovec 🔼
agreed lets give matpat the view time
adamekzlobivej god that was just pathetic
Like number 100
I love the little cameo for the Japanese commercial for a link to the past at the end.
He is able able to stop a lynel's charge with a shield parry which means he was able to exert about 448000 Newtons of force (Slightly over 100k pounds) which is more than a Merlin 1A rocket engine. Don't forget, he has to also take that force.
He is able to do this easily. He can parry Calamity Ganon's attacks and a hinox's attacks, which are presumably much more powerful, all easily without breaking a sweat. In conclusion link is and will always be an absolute beast.
Game Theory: link is the strongest video game character
Steve: am I a joke to you?
Noah McClure sans: *Am I joke to all of you?*
@@chlozentimes yup, you are
@@chlozentimes Shaggy: am I a joke to you

“Back in 2014”
...really..? It’s that old?
Why does this make me feel both sad, old, and surprised
i know how you feel
my first thought was "calm down it was only like 3 years ago"
Me with a brain still processing what happened in 2015: What do you mean way back in 2014?
what makes me sad is seeing robbie's editing :( RIP
Blue Dragon Entertainment same .-.
0:21 that looked like it belongs on perfectly cut screams
As always I love the intro and the video
11:35
Matpat: That's a strenght that puts 99.99% of video game characters to shame"
"Kirby appears on screen"
Me: *"Laughs in POYO"*
Asura appears, kratos appears, steve appears.
steve can't even break bedrock
@@glazeuniversagladis2499 actually, Link is probably better than kratos.
Samus entires
@@glazeuniversagladis2499watch Austin's video of strength and he will show you how strong Minecraft steve is
“I won’t bore you with the calculations”
Me: no show me I want to see!!!!!! *cries in math major*
Not much math required here. Just basic physics concepts to apply. Force (F) = Normal force (N) x the coefficient of friction (μ). N = mass (M) x gravity (g). M = volume (V) x density (p) The coefficient of friction is the proportion of F/N. It gets slightly more tricky when on a slope or calculating work to push a load for a distance. Here, he's only calculating the force to overcome the static force of friction for an instant.
@@ytv2779 My brain just broke...
my lord im dead
My grade 7 brain stopped working here
My favorite language
Well, Link is still stronger than me, and he’d be pretty darn good in a fight
I did some quick math with the Kratos temple-flipping scene. Now, I could be wrong, but I found out that he was flipping a temple that is about 592,339.48 kg, or 1,305,885.01 lbs, or 652.94 tons. This is really close to the golden gauntlet deadlift, and he was an old man using his bare hands
Me: *SEES TITLE*
Also Me: didnt Austin do this already do this with Steve?
There's gonna be a Steve vs Link fight between them
thought because science made a video on it already but maybe it was austin
*didn't Austin already do this with Steve?
@@amadeusbintang6914 *Didn't Austin already do this with Steve
BTW yes but someone also already made the granite pillar calculation
@@sirewokthefirstidonthaveal2902 Austin also did the friction coefficent calculations in his Overwatch Doomfist episode, which i remember so fondly:
"One of my favourite new studies of science is the science of Tribology. Tribology is the study of how things rub against one another and STOP THAT SNIGGERING! Of course, this all depend on a number of factors; how big they are, how wet they are...STOP IT!, how smooth they are, and I SAID STOP LAUGHING!"
