Random Battle: December 2010
I figure this'll be something I can do monthly, and I'll open each one about a week before the month. Discuss and vote to who you think would win in a random battle.
This month's Random Battle is: Simon Belmont vs. Link

Tale of the Tape:
Simon Belmont hails from the classic Castlevania franchise, while Link hails from the equally classic the Legend of Zelda franchise. Both games would revolutionize genres and game making as a whole, in far too many ways for me to mention.
Simon would defeat Dracula, the ultimate vampire, while Link would defeat Ganon/dorf, the ultimate evil wizard. While Simon would appear in several games, including games that were not in the Castlevania franchise, including Ganbare Goeman 2 and Wai Wai World, Link's appearances are a bit more of a mystery, confounded by the fact that many of the "Link" appearances were in fact different heroes. We can say that they all share many traits in common.
Link, no matter which one is looked at, has been known to utilize numerous weapons and items in his quests. He is a master of the sword, and sometimes a master of the Master Sword, not to mention is very handy with bombs, boomerangs and most recently a whip!
The whip is of special interest, since this is Simon's weapon of choice, specifically a specialty whip known as the Vampire Killer. He's also been known to use other weapons such as throwing daggers, throwing axes and holy water, to name just a few.
Both have battle bats (be them vampire or keeze) and walking skeletons. Both make use of a variety of weapons to take down their enemies. And both have saved a damsel in distress. And now you won't have to wait for Simon to join another Konami character, Snake, in the next Smash Bros. to see who would win between these two classic videogame characters.
So, who would win? Simon Belmont or Link?
