(Link's Awakening) Red or Blue Tunic?

[Darthnut]

So, you've got yourself a copy of LADX, beat the bonus color dungeon, and now a great fairy is presenting you with one of two choices - a red tunic that lets you deal twice as much damage with your sword, or a blue tunic that halves how much damage you take.

Though in the game you may reverse your choice at any time, let's say for the purpose of this thread that the devs decided to only let you pick once per save file. Now, what's your color?


My personal choice would be red. If we're talking about minimizing damage, it would be better to negate the risk of being struck in the first place by taking out your opponent more quickly.

Offense is the best defense. The goalie is only doing his/her job if everyone else failed.

Offense, for sure. Doubling damage is allowing half as many shots to be made at you, and if you're good, you won't get hit much anyways which negates the effectiveness of the blue tunic

Blue, always. Blue is a better color. Also I never put all my stock in not getting hit because that’s just not realistic. I’d rather be able to take hits because it leaves margin for error. I feel safer knowing I’ll survive if I mess up.
