Sounds like protection against evil to me, first you have to see them before you can defend your self, no vision = No protection. Visuals = A protecting element.
That would also qualify the Lens of Truth as protection. Link can just use the item to see what is normally not there.

The lens of truth is not a cross... and universally known to come from a religion like Christianity to serve a purpose against evil. The lens of truth doesn't bade exclusively against things that can harm link like a false walls, these flying demons, are.

It was originally a holy relic, but this was made non canon due to the whole Christianity thing. It's why the cross was replaced by the little flower petal thing in HW on the Wooden Shield. Whatever it was in 1988, it isn't now.

Well that's why I said Cloud at his peak. Honestly Cloud didn't hit his peak till the end of FF7. I'm not sure what time period Cloud from Tactics was in.

Advent children is after FF7, and he still had to be rescued by Vincent from being killed, so this either shows that link still isnt a power house, or that the leveling system like any JRPG is just game mechanics.

Wouldnt matter any way, I dont see cloud or sephiroth taking on Thunder god cid the OP of final fantasy tactics. Even if they joined forces. Cloud is not top tier compared to the great-sword knights of final fantasy tactics, if you power scale cloud, you have to power scale great swords men too, and these great swords men or aka arch knights, temple nights, dark/holy knights ect, pretty much wrecks clouds soldier class. Zack got killed by a small army/platoon, Thunder god cid along side Barbaneth beoulve pretty much dominated the fifty year war and was universally feared and honord in their universe, unlike cloud even in FF7 was pretty much a heroic drifter who went with the tide of following around his friends.

Link bows before it in a link to the past...changing their story, doesn't erase its original purpose...the whole canon thing was only recently added by eiji, who although miyamoto was fine with him answering the wap version of fans making their own story line (because there was never a story line to begin with)///even after the historia was made, miyamoto said he doesnt really care for its chronology nor story, hes about the games attraction and fun. Hence even with the historia, canon can barely be applied on it. Its neither a reboot, a time line, a alt universe, a parallel universe a multiverse...but just a good story retold by miyamoto.

The cross never protected him from evil, it just served as the Lens of Truth of the game to reveal the Moas in the Valley of Death and Old Kasuto (I believe a portion of Eastern Hyrule too but I can't remember.) Ir serves no other purpose in the game besides that.
Nah nothing to do with the map. Just made Link able to see some of the Moas late game. That's it.

Come to think about it, alot of the Gfs or summons can be killed and defeated in the ffs games, all the ones in 10, bahamut in 7 and some of the earlier titles, squall defeats ifrit, seifer kills odin, and several others are even obtained by their defeat/submission. So link could kill them too, at best they are an extension attack. Four swords x goron mask can tag team most summons. The giants mask alone can stomp on the KOTR...he can be a giant and equip the iron boots, then step on them like ants with added force.

For uber big summons like Alexander, link could do a little summoning him self to counter it, he can use his ocarina and call the four giants:
latest


Mind you they're bigger than godzilla, since godzilla isnt bigger than than the largest skyscrapper above 400 feet, these giants are so large they can leap over a mountain in one jump. Surely they can kick around most of the summons like a football.

Yes, the Christian faith appeared in ALTTP initially, but back stories have changed and the Christian faith no longer has any relevance to the game. And there was always a storyline. LoZ was made, then AoL was made as a sequel. ALTTP was made a prequel, then LA a sequel to that, and OoT and MM prequels before any of it. The only time it got awkward and timelines started splitting was when it was confirmed WW was also a sequel to OoT and people were confused.

Nah, miyamoto never had it as story lines, he had successors, but not direct story-lines.

Then explain all the connections between FSA and ALTTP. Until they were placed on different timelines, it was always believed that FSA was a prequel set before ALTTP, considering the Imprisoning War and FSA share such remarkable similarities, and the Four Sword's inclusion in ALTTP GBA.

In tactics and Advant Children he had given up most of his materia and weaponry, still not his peak. It's like if Link gave up his Master Sword and power bracelets.
