Talk:Bowser VS Ganon/@comment-27033016-20160406140246

Oh boy, there was some inaccurate research on both sides. I'm not going to bother talking about the "holy weapons" fallacy since I think Ganon can beat Bowser equally in terms of strength and magic, and I think Bowser can do the same to Ganon regardless. But what I'm going to talk about are these points.

First, deciding the conclusion based on just one instance that was an exception. I'm talking specificaly about New Super Mario Bros. First of all, that was not "super lava". Bowser succumbing to lava was just a plot excuse to foreshadow Bowser's uncertain fate in the game, and it's been shown multiple times that Bowser can not only survive lava, but thrive in it. Second, have they done their research on Dry Bones? They don't die, they only crumble and reform, and Dry Bowser is no different. When Ganon smashes Dry Bowser to pieces, he could've simply reformed and kept on fighting in that state. There's no exact proof that he was officially dead after that fall and even then, Bowser Jr. throwing him into that magic cauldron was to get his organic body back, not just to "revive" him.

Second, the Deku Tree curse. It's not the same as the Harry Potter killing curse so it doesn't kill instantly just like that. The Deku Tree curse works by summoning a monster (Gohma) inside the host's body that will gradually weaken it from the inside, and overtime, will eventually kill the host. It's even stated that the Deku Tree has been cursed long before Link even started his journey, so they really should've double checked on that before making the assumption that the curse "instantly kills".
