The True Hero of Time: Link or Crono?
 
I apologize if there's already a thread like this, or if it seems inappropriate, or if it breaks any rules...

So, which one do you like better? Link, Legend of Zelda's green-clad hero, or Crono, the mute young swordsman of Chrono Trigger fame? This isn't about the games themselves, but, rather, about the heroes.

I'm not a major LoZ fan, but I've always enjoyed the games, and Link is an awesome character. Of course, we can't count out the redheaded swordsman, either; I played CT waaay back in the day, before 3D Zelda was established and Link really got his personality, so...I'd have to go with Crono on this one.

Link, obviously! He has sequels, he's iconic, he's exist in two timelines, and he can distract the final boss with a fishing lure! Crono can't do that, can't he? xD

Oh ho ho, but both of those options are incorrect, my friend. Serge could whup both of their asses. Cross' story completely and totally outclassed Trigger's. Icon or no, CC is possibly the best RPG ever made, and should've gotten more recognition (so should have Trigger).

Serge doesn't travel through time though. ;D Just between dimensions. I'm one of the few that think CC>CT.

Agreed! Serge is much better than both (but Starky is better than all!).

But since Serge (or Starky) aren't choices here, it's definately Link for me, I don't really like Chrono Trigger, I was spoiled with Chrono Cross first =P

True, true.

He could still kick both of their asses. At once. IN ANOTHER DIMENSION.

I'm quite a Squaresoft/enix fan but CT never really appealed to me that much so I kinda only played the game up to the first time you can go to the world map so I can't say I like Chrono a lot so Link it is

Link wins hands down, every time. Go, you little green dude!

Are you kidding me?
CRONO, MAN. >___>;

As much as I may have liked the old LoZ games, Crono wins this one for me.

Crono is a damn sight more powerful than Link, I have to say. It's a hard choice, though. They're both from brilliant games (although with differing quantities), are awesomely enigmatic left-handed characters and enjoy time-hopping. Although, Crono's adventures span millions of years, whereas Link only gets to travel ~10 years by unleashing that Master Sword. Which brings me to another point. The Epoch is far cooler than Epona, I have to say, despite the ironically similar names. Link doesn't get to ride a goddamn flying dinosaur, does he?

Oh, and Luminaire is an awesome Technique to behold. To scale, it's got a further range than Din's Fire, looks better. (A video should be seen. Screenshots don't do it justice.)

Only if you've finished the game -vvvv-
Spoiler:

Oh, and you don't see Link coming back from the dead, do you know?


'Nuff said.
