What comic is THAT DM from? The art style looks familiar...almost like early Blaster Nation.

Then again, I am currently half blind owing to recent eye surgery.

Link isn't an unoptimized fighter. Depending on version and willingness to refluff, he's either a warblade with a bunch of cool magic items, a warblade/factotum, a sorcadin (of freedom) (high charisma could be how he gets everyone to tell him stuff by just standing there), or a fighter/wizard gish build. He might be an unoptimized fighter in the old 2D ones.

Believe what you wish, but by our standards, he lacks out-of-combat skills and abilities and is therefore at the least low tier. In addition, all he does is hit things, with different weapons.

Don't get me wrong, I love Link.

Uh... Music, ranching, fishing, entomology, climbing, swimming, utility magic, general problem solving, sailing, and half a dozen others. Also, that's rarely what people mean by unoptimized, I.E. tier almost always refers to combat capability, with utility as a secondary factor (because a combat focused character can beat the snot out of a utility character who can't also fight). Also Also, NO!

In nearly all games, he has musical skills that he can practically do magic with: Bard.
In a lot of the more recent games, he uses combat maneuvers: Warblade. (Helmsplitter from Twilight Princess is Death From Above, period.)
In the earlier games (Majora's Mask and prior), he was more basic (due to programming also, no doubt) and didn't use special maneuvers like such, other than a whirlwind attack maybe: Fighter.
He uses a shield and sword, but also has an array of other weapons: as a Fighter this would be unoptimized. As a Warblade, he'd need proficiency with ranged weapons from elsewhere (race could do this).
In Majora's Mask, he'd either have levels in Master of Masks, or just a ton of brow-slot magic items.
In nearly all games, he uses a bit of magic, both from items and magic he's learned/awakened himself, but it's not strong enough to be anything on high Sorcerer levels. UMD accounts for the items, an unoptimized gish build or Bard levels could account for the learned/innate magic.
With the variety of skills he shows over the games, if you'd want to stat him as being capable of all the things he does in all the games, you'd have to make him a Factotum, too. Otherwise, some skillful class would do, like Rogue or Bard.

Rather than agreeing with him being low-Tier, I'd say he is low-level. The Zelda world could actually be prettymuch a perfect E6 example, even.

I've actually Tiered a homebrew class based off Link a while back. I think it fell between Tier 3 and 4, but it only had the OoT/MM Link's abilities.

How about, just agree to disagree, and claim that he's a Bardblade build (generally speaking), E6 Does also answer a lot of questions doesn't it?

I forgot bard. But we could say that a bunch of his spells come from the ocarina/baton, since he doesn't really have any traditional bardic music.

There actually was a Persona 3 anime "Trinity Soul", but it wasn't very good.

And this is ridiculous. The Persona-users are clearly Binders.

The Shin Megami Tensei main characters, THOSE are Summoners.

I hate to be a spoilsport or a whiner, but could people please remember to put images (even quoted ones) in spoiler tags? Think of it as a courtesy to members with amazingly craptastic connections and/or computers.

I didn't know about the Persona 3 anime, I actually found the Persona 4 anime by pure luck and I have never played the games, so please forgive my ignorance concerning them.

I was going for the fact that playing an actual character from the games/anime is almost custom tailored for the PF summoners

I haven't seen the anime, but the way the Personas work in the games is very much a Binder thing. (They're not always around the way an Eidolon would be.)

Anyway, enough nitpicking. Here's tax:

Sure as hell FEELS like it goes faster when everything is spoilered, but that could obviously be a trick of the mind too, the brain is prone to things like that after all.

@FAD! You forgot the sparkly .gif animations and the absurdly colorful and/or annoying backgrounds, preferably also .gif animations. Ahhh.... don't you miss the early days of the internet? (The internet generation, possibly the generation the least prone to nostalgia in the history of mankind.)
