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.

“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.

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.

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 . . .

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.
