You made a mistake in that, though. When Gaara's sand is wet: he can't control it at all. Not even to pull it back together. What he usually does it "wring" the sand out, but he can't do that because the sand it consistently and constantly getting wet. Otherwise, I want to see proof that Gaara's sand works when wet.

My song of storms argument still stands.

Gaara can still control sand when its wet. It would take more effort for him to do so, but he can still use it. I think I'm going to have to discount anything from the Anime Filler Arcs, mainly because they weren't written by the author, but by the studio in order to give the manga a head start.

And besides, if all it took to defeat him was to get him wet then he wouldn't have survived the multiple assassination attempts that were made on his life.

Because of Deus Ex Machina. Simple enough.

What? Can't argue with the literary freedom of the writers?

It is only canon if Masashi Kishimoto wrote it, because he is the original author of the series. The filler arcs are then considered fanon, and are not eligible for consideration amongst people who follow the

You must also take into account that Gaara is a ninja and more than proficient at using the various ninja techniques besides his sand. Even if he were deprived of it, he would still be a formidable foe.

I'm not saying that he wouldn't be. I merely pointed out that nobody has actually taken the time to exploit his weakness, be it because of the will of the writer, or the stupidity of the characters, which was induced by the will of the writer.

There isn't any Deus Ex Machina helping Gaara in this fight.

I don't get it. What's Deus Ex Machina?

I am going to have to request that you refrain from using the phrase 'Deus Ex Machina' as it is causing me to have unpleasant flashbacks to FFX2.

And you're assuming that Link is smart enough to figure out Gaara's weakness faster than Gaara can crush him with sand. Adding on the time it takes for him to whip out the ocarina or whatever it is that he uses to play the song of storm, well, Gaara's faster with the sand is all I'm saying.

Since you asked so nicely, I will refrain from saying it (and I didn't Like X-2 either).

Also, you are saying that Link, the man/boy/hero/etc who can pick up any item from anywhere (including unique and one-of-a-kind items) and immediately can use them extremely proficiently, can't figure out the weakness of sand?

Also, how many people has Gaara known that can create a magical shield that is literally invincible, set up a warp point, and have a flute that can create torrential rain?

Link's setup it too perfect, and Gaara (usually) isn't one to go all out because someone has a blue barrier, or plays a flute. (Note the empasis on usually).

I am going to have to side with Link...again...(same with the Link vs Sora). And here is why. We have Gaara...super powerful Ninja turned KAZAKAGE in a matter of about 3 years, (this, in turn makes him the most powerful ninja in the Sand Village.) And then you have Link, The boy hero, who for some reason keeps beating the prince or darkness, even though he has no powers whatsoever...Why is link so good, while still being a mortal? I don’t know, but I do know this: Link had potential. No matter what happens, he always finds a way out...ALWAYS. He had a strong head in between those pointy years. He is like MacGyver: give him a flute, a sword, some robs and a mirror, and he crushed evil like it was his job.

Second point?...Lets think for a second...what is the triforce?...the physical manifestation of the 3 Goddesses who CARVED HYRULE WITH THEIR HANDS!!!...Now, link had the triforce of Courage inn him right hand...so this, in essence means he has THE POWER OF A GOD IN HIS RIGHT HAND. IMAGINE WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE IF HE WERE TO ONE DAY TAP INTO ALL THAT POWER? He would me unstoppable....and something tells me that a fight with a Ninja like Gaara is just the thing to bring out the best in our Elvin boy...

I am going to have to side with link, hands down....

Gaara would so win. He would just trap Link in his sand and crush him like a little fly. xd

in reply to ur opening paragraph..... You say that Link ALWAYS finds a way out. this is because video games need to see an end. Should Gaara be put into his own video game (and not something like the ninja battle games) he would end up being able to win in whatever situation he would be put in to as well. Also, if Link had NO powers whatsoever, he wouldnt be able to win. He has powers, they are simply put into the skilled use of weapons such as swords and bows. Also, Gaara is still only a child, so he is not too dfferent from Link in that aspect. Also, its not like Gaara is imortal, u make it seem like Link is so weak yet so strong, when Gaara is also just a mortal. On a few aspects of it, they are similar.

No way! Link would beat the **** out of Gaara! Sand coffin? Link would use pegasus shoes! Total speed ownage and Gaara's toast! Bombs to blow away sand armor! Arrows and boomerang for longrange combat! Backup power from wind gods (LOZ Wind Waker), Power of FARORE (God of courage), Light Arrows to shoot Gaara's pathetic evil heart! What else ya need cuz hes got plenty more! Oh and don't say bombs can't blow thru sand armor! Biggoron Sword (LOZ Ocarina of Time) or Megaton hammer would work too! Or Link would just plain Wolf ninja on Gaara's a**! I have spoken (A lot!)

Okay I am going to sum up that it wares out...it's not an eternal thing. And then Gaara can just wait it out, and if he uses it again just cast clones until Link runs out of magic. Then he's ********.

No...your...just...no. Are you forgetting his sand barrier son. Blocks any attack from all angles.
