10 Reasons Link is Better than Marth

1.) Superior Games. I mean OK maybe Fire Emblem sold some units in Japan, but Link is the main hero in three games considered among the best of all time (Legend of Zelda for NES, A Link to the Past, and Ocarina of Time,) as well as several games that have won best of the year awards (Twilight Princess, Windwaker, Majora's Mask.) Who else can claim that kind of quality over time? Not even Mario.

2.) The Master Sword. Marth's sword is pretty long, maybe twice the length of his body. I'm not sure how effective it would be in real life because of wind resistance. Link's Sword on the other hand, is called "The Master Sword." Can you get better than that? Of course not. And lets not forget the bonus energy waves its able to generate.

3.) Additional Weapons. Even though Link is the greatest swordsman of all time, he doesn't even need it to beat you. He can boomerang and hookshot you to death if he so chooses. Take that Marth.

4.) Clothing. Marth's ruffled caped look seems more at home in a figure skating competition. Meanwhile Link keeps it simply heroic in his green tunic and hat.

5.) Japanese deification of white people. Marth has black hair, and could easily be mistaken as Asian. Link has clear blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. There is no mistaking who our friends in the Land of the Rising Sun find superior.

6.) Women. Link rolls with Princesses, be they Hylian or of the Twilight Realm. Last we heard of Marth, he was renting a condo in Miami with Roy to discuss a "lifestyle adjustment."

7.) Humility. While Marth thinks he's the best, Link knows he's the best. He doesn't have to show it.

8.) Political Views. Marth is in bed with the oil and coal industries. Link doesn't have time for politics, he is a one man army for the Forces of Good. What he does is necessarily right.

9.) Caring for others. While on quests to vanquish Evil, Link always finds time to do tasks to help his fellow citizens, whether its helping to collect escaped cuckoos or helping Gorons with their eye ailments. Marth is known to be a notoriously bad tipper at restaurants, and often pushes old ladies out of the way while trying to get on the bus.

10.) I use Link. Smoov uses Marth. Need I say more?
