Felix: Sora...
Axel: Link...
Felix: Pure hearted heroes and saviors to many. However, being heroes obviously means they're gonna have some dark versions of themselves, whether they're good or bad.
Axel: Dark Link, Link's Shadow.
Felix: And Roxas, Sora's Nobody.
Axel: To be clear here, even though we're using the two at their best, that doesn't mean we can give them everything.
Felix: This means no Hyrule Warrior's Dark Link or Link Between Worlds Dark Link. Why? Because HW is non canon, and there's too much player influence for us to use ALBW Dark Link. With that being said, he's Axel and I'm Felix.
Axel: And it's our job to analyze their weapons, armor, and skills to see who'd win, a Death Battle.
Dark Link:
Felix: Just who is the mysterious Dark Link? A test by King Hyrule for the Triforce of Courage? A simple minion of Ganondorf? Not much is really known about him. It. Whatever.
Axel: What is known, however, is that Dark Link is Link's shadow. One could consider it Link's greatest challenge.
Background:
-Name: Dark Link.
-Age: ???
-Height: Varies.
-Weight: Varies.
-Link's shadow.
Felix: Now let's debunk the common misconception of Dark Link. He is not the 'darkness' within Link's heart as many would think. He is literally just Link's shadow.
Axel: But, because Dark Link is a carbon copy of Link, he not only does he look the same, but his weapons and skills are about the same.
Felix: Plus, like there's multiple versions of Link, they're multiple versions of Dark Link. Granted, there's not as much. About six in total not including non canon appearances.
Axel: So, because of this, Dark Link's weapons and skills remain mostly consistent.
Powers and Abilities.
-Is basically Link's equal in different categories.
-Knows almost all the same moves Link knows.
--Moves like the spin attack and fatal blow.
-Can hide under ground and reappear to surprise opponents.
Weapons:
Dark Master Sword:
-A copy of Link's Master Sword.
-Can fire beams out when at full health.
-Unlike Link's sword, doesn't repel evil.
-Nearly indestructible.
Dark Hylian Shield:
-A copy of Link's Hylian Shield.
-Can block almost any attack.
-Nearly indestructible.
Bow:
-Very much like Link's bow.
-Has basically an infinite number of arrows.
-Like Link, is very skilled with it.
-Cannot used different arrows.
--Meaning no Fire, Ice, Light, or Silver Arrows.
Bombs:
-Carries basically an infinite amount of them.
-Strong enough to blow up certain parts of the ground and walls.
-Detonation is time based.
Pegasus Boots:
-Takes about a second to charge up.
-Allows Dark Link to dash forward at high speeds.
--Cannot turn.
-Defenseless when charging it up.
Felix: Dark Link can do and has done some impressive things...as far as dark clones go.
Axel: Being skilled as Link, Dark Link can easily predict his own moves coming, even to the point of hooping onto Link's blade. That's something Link hasn't been able to really pull off.
Felix: So in some ways, he can do things even his own counterpart cannot?
Axel: Exactly.
Feats:
-Is fast and agile enough to dodge almost all of Link's items.
-Tricked Link into pulling out the Four Sword in Four Swords Adventure.
--This released Vaati, the Wind Mage.
-Is very skilled like Link.
--Can pull of certain moves that Link can't or hasn't shown to.
-Though has a lack of items, is still very skilled with them.
-One of Link's greatest challenges ever, rivaling even Ganondorf.
Felix: Despite this guy being a total badass, he's hardly unstoppable.
Axel: What's very noticeable about Dark Link is his lack of items.
Felix: He's a freaking copy of Link, who has black holes for pockets! Yet, when they fight, Dark Link usually or always uses his sword and shield. Even when he does use items, they're small compared to the Hero of Hyrule's.
Weaknesses:
-Lacks the same large arsenal as Link.
-Mostly prefers his sword and shield.
--Can be beneficial sometimes.
-While has outsmarted Link, isn't as intelligent.
-Has never really beaten Link.
-Has no way to heal himself.
Felix: The worst thing about Dark Link is his lack of saying stuff! What are we supposed to put!?
Axel: I dunno. Let's just skip to Roxas.
Roxas:
Axel: After Destiny Island fell to the Heartless, the boy named Sora had changed, drastically might I add.
Felix: And no, we don't mean determined as all hell, we mean part of him wasn't right. Kairi, one of Sora's best friends, well, her heart was trapped within Sora's. So, in order to take it out, he'd have to preform surgery.
Axel: What? No. It wasn't that simple, or complicated depending on how you face surgery. Anyway, Sora had to use the knewly forged Keyblade of People's Hearts, a Keyblade made from six of the seven Disney Princess' hearts.
Felix: After unlocking his own and Kairi's heart, Sora for a short time became a Heartless. At the same time, however, he unintentionally created something else. His name is Roxas.
Background:
-Name: Roxas.
-Height: ???
-Weight: ???
-Sora's Nobody.
-Number: XIII.
-Was a member of Organization 13.
Axel: Roxas is Sora's Nobody.
Felix: 'Nobody'? That's an unfortunate name.
Axel: Well, there's a reason to that. When someone loses their heart, their body and heart separate. The heart becomes the Heartless while the body and soul, should the will be strong enough, becomes the Nobody.
Felix: But then shouldn't it be called 'Noheart'?
Axel: Technically...?
Felix: Well whatever. One downside, or upside depending on how you look at it, is that Nobody's can't express emotions. Everyone except Roxas and some other chick named Xion.
Axel: The reason Roxas could express emotions is because he for some reason didn't have Sora's memories. This was actually because Roxas and Sora co-existed at the same time, which isn't normal, obviously.
Felix: But what Roxas did still gain was the ability to use a Keyblade, specifically the Kingdom Key.
<da:embed id="rPziVEqli8Y" profile="youtube" width="560" height="315">
Weapons:
Kingdom Key:
-Was Roxas' main Keyblade.
-Grants him extraordinary power.
-Can use different types of magic.
-Though has no visibly sharp edges, can cleave through almost anything.
-Can be thrown like a boomerang.
Magic/Abilities.
-Can glide his away around places.
-Can block and reflect projectiles and other attacks.
Firaga:
-Fire-based magic that shoots out like a cannon ball and explodes on impact.
Blizzaga:
-Ice-based magic that acts like a mine.
-Freezes enemies when explodes.
Thundaga:
-Summons a powerful lighting bolt from the sky.
-Takes a second for the lighting to hit.
-If it already doesn't kill the foe, it can paralyze them.
Curaga:
-Healing-based Magic that heals Roxas.
Aeroga:
-Wind-based Magic that sucks in foes and shots them in the air.
Final Limit:
-Only usable when at low health.
-Strength and speed are heavily boosted.
-Can summon dozens of beams of energy to kill opponents.
--Capable of one-shoting Heartless.
-Can only use this form for a certain amount of time.
Felix: As great as these are, it obviously wasn't enough.
Axel: After beating Xion, long story, the two merged. This was because Xion was an imperfect replica of Roxas. She was basically Sora's leaked memories, or at least she was created from them.
Felix: Whoa. Too much information for the next cool thing about this guy. My head's starting to hurt.
Axel: Got it memorized?
Felix: Yes...
Axel: Well, anyway, after the two merged, Roxas gained Xion's other Kingdom Key. Soon after, the two Keyblades transformed into Oblivion and Oath Keeper.
Oblivion and Oath Keeper:
-Obtained when Roxas and Xion merged.
-Two of the most powerful Keyblades ever.
-Can one-shot Neoshadows, one of the most powerful, non-boss Heartless.
-Has the same properties as the Kingdom Key, but more powerful.
Felix: Being Sora's Nobody means that Roxas is gonna do some awesome crap.
Feats:
-Defeated Riku, a more skilled Keyblade Wielder.
-Defeated Xion's multiple forms.
-Defeated Saix.
-Defeated Axel.
-Has defeated many Heartless bosses, sometimes single handedly.
-Fought Sora and barely lost.
Felix: Though like Sora, Roxas is not perfect.
Axel: Roxas does not possess MP. He can still use magic, which some Kingdom Hearts fans would argue makes his magic unlimited, but that's not true.
Felix: Should he use too much of his magic, he'll be unable to use any more of it.
Weaknesses:
-Limited supply of magic.
-Despite popular belief, Keyblades aren't indestructible.
-Though had training, skill with the Keyblade isn't the best
-Fighting style is more aggressive than Sora's leaving little to no defense to it.
--It leaves him open to attack.
Felix: But who cares about all that? Roxas is a badass Nobody. Too bad 'Nobody' makes him sound unimportant.
Axel: That's Kingdom Hearts for you.
Roxas: "What are you talking about? I am me! Nobody else!"
