Very interesting match here. I would love to see an updated version of the Kid Icarus series, maybe that will come out in 2010? Anyways, two classic Nintendo characters duke it out –
Who wins?

hooo boy!
haw did this match NOT come up yet?
Well, we ALL know that link’s anti-evil weapons wouldnt do much to pit, but I dont know much about pit to say he takes this.
kidicarus.wikia.com/wiki/Kid_Icarus
kidicarus.wikia.com/wiki/Kid_Icarus:_Of_Myths_and_Monsters
The only 2 Kid Icarus games. Pit shares quite a few weapons with Link and I think he may have used them first. He’s got Light/Fire Arrows, Silver Armor, Wings of Palutena, and a Mirror shield.
Nice match.
EPIC EXTREAMLY EPIC MATCH
What if we went with NES Link vs NES Pit, it would make this match even more classic ha!
But let’s face it, NES link would use the legendary stepladder to walk all over pit making him lose.
I thought it was the most recent versions we used? Which is still WW/PH link, who i think is gay. Sorry link, but if its the most recent, Pit takes it.
Pit from Kid Icarus: Of Myth and Monsters is pretty awesome. He’s definitely the more capable archer with Silver Arrows (w/ Fire) and more maneuverable by using Pegasus Wings to fly. He lacks melee abilities though- he only has hammers and, if he has high enough health, protective diamonds that fly around him and cut apart enemies who come too close.
Assuming no time freezing, I think that Pit will win so long as he keeps his distance.
If this was a match in Super Smash Bros Brawl, I’d say Pit is the better contender.
If I was talking about which character I would root for personally, I’d have to go with Link, if only because I’m more familiar with his games.
Talking about who would win in a fight with recent incarnations . . . I don’t really know enough about Pit to say. I think he might be able to match most of Link’s weapons, but I doubt he could stand up to Link defensively. I’ll wait to hear more people’s opinions before I go any more in depth.
This is pretty farfetched to consider. Why would do warriors wielding heavenly weapons to fight evil combat each other? Would they even be able to hurt another being who is also so uncontestedly good?
Because this is factpile, thats why.
Yup. Just like it was Sparta yesterday, now It’s Factpile. But, I think Link got this.. If he gets time-stopping, Pit is done for.
Most current incarnations means Spirit Tracks for Link and Brawl for Pit, no? If so, I’d give this to Link. At a range, it’s a stalemate. Link’s Whirlwind would disrupt any arrows shot towards him and Pit’s Shield would stop Link’s Arrows, forcing melee combat. Pit’s attacks are very fast, but he has two short blades. If Link stays out of the blades’ range his bombs and boomerang could make short work of the angel. Straight-up swordfight though I need to give this to Pit, due to his twin weapons and speed advantage.
Current incarnation is tricky. I would assume “current canon incarnation” which would still be from way back when. Pit from SSBB isn’t a canon depiction of Pit from Kid Icarus, and as such would be considered as two seperate characters. Just like how Zelda in SSBB is capable of using Din’s Fire and a few other spells, yet neither OoT Zelda nor TP Zelda, both of whom SSBB Zelda is based off of, can do that. Actually no Zelda aside from SSBB Zelda could do that.
Anyways I would argue that SSBB Pit is not the character in this game as that character isn’t canon to the Kid Icarus series.
To compound the problem, now that the current Link has changed none of my Pro-Link arguements are valid as I haven’t a clue of what ST Link can do. WW/PH Link was so cool too. I imagin he hated the Hero of Time. I still need to figure out where in the timeline Spirt Tracks is too.
Yeah, I’m a huge Zelda nerd. Or maybe just a huge Nintendo nerd.
In truth I was using Brawl Pit to help the kid out. Otherwise he doesn’t even have a melee attack to my knowledge. ST Link would use the Rope Snake to bring Pit in and slice him in two.
Oh, and Spirit Tracks takes place after Phantom Hourglass. I don’t have it yet, but I know the weapons well enough. I’m a huge Zelda nerd too, lol. I’d check the Zelda Wiki if you want more on what ST Link can do. Actually, I might go ahead and do that . . .
Spirit Tracks is 100 years after Phantom Hourglss. I haven’t played it, but I’ve seen a few things that make it obvious. Among the non-spoilers, Niko the swabby makes an appearance as an old man and there’s an identical descendant of Gonzo named Alfonzo. Linebeck III also appears. So this is one game that was made to fit perfectly in the timeline.
“If he gets time-stopping, Pit is done for.”
Definitely. The Phantom Hourglass would be lethal to Pit. Link’s Evilsbane properties wouldn’t be much of a help, but with the other weapons he tends to carry, he’d probably carve out the majoirty of Pit’s health before he could counterattack.
However, if we’re assuming this is ST Link, then he might not have any time-stopping powers . . . d@mn that current incarnation rule. It always complicates any match involving Link.
I’m sure Link could just hit him with a train and be done with it.
Seriously, though, I’ve pretty much just finished Spirit Tracks and the new one is one of the weaker Links. He’s got all the staples: boomerang, bombs, bow, etc.. He does manage to get Minish Cap style light arrows (no magic, but have to charge up) and a new sword with the power to repel evil. Plus two new items: the whirlwind, a device that makes mini tornados and the Whip, a snake on a handle that bites and grabs things.
I think Pit is going to be taking this match.
-
For the most part Pit’s attack range is much larger than Link’s, and Pit’s attack speed is much much higher.
-
Now I’ll admit that within extreme close combat (say, 5-10 meters), almost any Link is going to be very unpleasant for Pit to be near. Some Links, that is LttP/Oracles/LA or LoZ/AoL or WW/PH, would be down right deadly to Pit thanks to their high end magic abilities. Without Palutena’s help polymorphic magic is very unkind to Pit, and WW/PH’s time stop is a major threat.
-
Link’s like Skyward Sword or Spirit Tracks though… Very manageable. He could get cut up in a sword fight (Pit really isn’t a strong melee fighter) but his ranged attacks should be able to keep more than enough pressure on them. … Of course SS’s invulnerability potion might complicate that, but I don’t know the mechanics of how that works to be certain at this time.
-
Pit is pretty fast on his feet so anything slower than an arrow at ranges outside of melee distance is going to be slow enough for him to react to and dodge them. Unfortunately for Link, Pit shoots arrows faster and has homing projectiles (notably the arrows home the best).
Current Incarnation of Link is either LoZ/AoL, FS/FSA or ST dependent on the timeline
-
Pick one
…Did we ever figure this out?
No, not really, but Pit should stomp Link now after Pit vs Kratos
-
If Pit is allowed vehicles (which were specifically disallowed in Pit vs Kratos) here he stomps even harder
Aries Armor>Counter to status effect(poison, paralyze, polymorph, etc)
/
That or he just weapon spams………
I think this got dropped, and perhaps that is for the better. Pit outclasses pretty much any incarnation of Link. Even the most powerful incarnations can be beaten by Pit given some time and keeping the range open.
-
Current Incarnation Link should either be any of three as Stealth put it (except FS Link and FSA Link are two different Links; FSA being the Child Timeline’s current Link, and FS happening even before OoT)… either one of those three or always LoZ/AoL Link as he is the “furthest” away from the events of OoT in comparison of the other two Current Incarnations of Link.
-
That is to say ST Link (Adult timeline) and FSA Link (Child timeline) have their events occur roughly 200 years after OoT split the timeline three ways. LoZ/AoL Link (Decline timeline) has his events occur some 400++ years after the timeline split, so, yeah…
-
But, more to the point, Pit outclasses Link in just about every way.
-
LoZ/AoL: This Link’s best bet is either the Thunder spell (high damage/instant cast) or the Spell spell (polymorph/instant cast). Pit gets seriously screwed up by polymorph if Palutane doesn’t help him out (and she won’t: outside help) but Pit could easily stay out of range since he is faster on foot than this Link, and Pit’s weapons have a greater range.
-
LttP/Oracles/LA: Could easily give Pit trouble. Probably has the best chance outside of WW/PH link’s time stop. Invulnerabily spell, faster running speed than Pit, pretty manuverable, polymorph spell (if Pit is on the ground), large AoE spells (including the previous spell), and generally has the majority of the best of the iconic and lesser known spells and tools in the entire series. Pit still can pull off a win though if he keeps extreme range open or wears down Link’s magic meter from afar (by baiting Fire/Ice/Magic Rod shots or interrupting the AoE spells’ long cast time), the invulnerability spell o(r not against Instant death) and the Magic Cape (which would prevent instant death) could be tricky but Pit has similiar tricks as well. This would be a really interesting match.
-
OoT/MM Link: Probably gets sniped to death… very slowly in between castings of Nayru’s Love. … If Pit’s instant death ability doesn’t put him 6 ft under real quick.
-
WW/PH Link: Time Stop. It isn’t an end all be all spell because it has a very short duration and only three uses per match here on Factpile, but it is a great equalizer. Since this Link also knows how to seal people inside of time locks with the Master Sword he only needs one solid impalement to win the match and the Time Stop can give him that. Invulnerability spell, but maybe not against Instant Death.
-
TP: gets sniped to death. Yeah, he could try to counter snipe, but Pit is better at dodging and counter attacking.
-
MC: sniped to death.
-
ST: Sniped to death.
-
FS: sniped to death… a lot.
-
FSA: Sniped to death… unless they get close enough for the Quake Medallion to polymorph Pit, then they win.
-
SS: sniped to death.
-
I think that’s all of them. Pit easly handles most incarnations of Link even without the Pegasus Wings (or boots or whatever they are called; they give him flight, damnit) that are so crucial in his fight against Kratos. … which is kind of funny since I think most Links stand up against Kratos than Pit would without those wings (and instant death).
-
I don’t really see a reason to continue this match.
“Aries Armor>Counter to status effect(poison, paralyze, polymorph, etc)”
-
Well, I guess FSA Link is totally screwed then. … and LoZ/AoL Link as well.
-
LttP/Oracles/LA Link might still have a chance, but still hard as hell.
Is their a kid Icarus time line?

@OriginalA
I’d figure ph link might win a bout as well (unless time stops count as opne of the “status effects”)

Thanks. a hell of a lot easier to decipher the the Zelda time line.
