So, Strength needs to do 36 damage. That makes his Str bonus 12, for a Strength of 34. That can be achieved by some, but I find it very hard to believe in OotS world where magic items are few and limited in potency. even with a max damage crit of 28+Strx3, we're looking at a Str bonus of 9, for Str 28. Still unlikely, though barely achievable with a +6 Str item and 4/5 of level attributes put in Str.
If he power attacks (as he should) that gives +4 damage for each -1 to hit (on a critical with a two handed weapon).
-5 to hit gives +20 damage reducing the strength required to 20 for an average damage crit.
