There is no Link between smoking cigarettes and lung cancer.

It's been great. 1. My opponent's revised search came up with two results: a. An Evil Overlord list, written by Peter Anspach, completely irrelevant to Legend of Zelda as a whole. b. Some blog about a bishop giving up cigarettes for Lent (not even in the Zelda universe). 2. The editors are not lazy. Just look at Triforce 14's contributions [1]. 3. That's obviously because he recognized that your history of tobacco in Hyrule was false. 4. Actually, the Wikipedia search brought up numerous occasions in which Zeldapedia was sourced as an accurate compilation on all things Zelda. Meanwhile, there is no tobacco in Hyrule, period. The most comprehensive source on the subject dismissed the notion as preposterous. My opponent claims that smoking would be a leisure activity. However, despite the fact that most Hyrulians have absolutely nothing to do, just standing around forever to allow for Link to complete his tasks without fail, none of them choose to take a smoke. Waiting for Link would be the perfect time to smoke, but they don't, because they don't have access to leisure drugs. Link doesn't have a Learjet, because he was never programmed to drive a Learjet. There is nothing in the game that allows Link to build a Learjet. My opponent's source is a random picture drawn for a random purpose, but it cannot be taken as proof that Link flies planes. Pictures are not proof of anything, especially when they're hand-drawn. My opponent claims that Link might be able to uncover a stash of drugs hidden by the Old Man. However, the fact is, explosions have no effect on the walls of the Old Man's room whatsoever. There are about 100 different squares on which Link can drop a bomb in the Old Man's room, and none of them do anything. The game then forgets that the bomb was ever placed, and another bomb does the exact same thing: absolutely nothing. My opponent claims that there is an infinite number of ways in which a Zelda game can be played. However, this is false, and shows a clear misunderstanding of computer science. The game has a very limited amount of memory. If the game has 1Gb of RAM, then there are 2^(2^30) different states in which the game can be, period. However, if tobacco is not programmed into the game, then none of these states would include tobacco, period. As proof that Hyrulians smoke, my opponent has photoshopped cigarettes into a Goron's mouth. However, photoshopped pictures are not proof for anything except the photoshopper's skill in photoshopping. My opponent claims that pixels are made up of cells. This is false. Pixels are made up of light. My opponent's example is actually of cells and viri made up of pixels, as all things manifested in video games are. Cells are not programmed into Zelda games, because that would be far too much detail that would never be expressed at all. Link's body, for example, is made up of a shell of multi-colored pixels. The cells, not being programmed, don't exist. 2. My opponent claims that with no cells, there is no cell growth, and therefore, cell growth is uncontrolled. However, there is no cell growth. Cell growth cannot be anything, because it does not exist. Cell growth requires an increase in size by definition [2], and therefore, with no cell growth, it cannot be uncontrolled. Additionally, if we were to go by my opponent's plan, the programmers would have controlled the growth of cells by completely preventing the existence of cells in the first place. My opponent ignores my argument that there are no lungs in Hyrulians: "In fact, there wouldn't be any lungs, because when video game characters are programmed, they are only given an outside shell. Link does not have any lungs programmed in his chest, and nor do any other Zelda characters. " Without lungs, there can be no lung cancer, by definition. The real Link is the Link that is in the Zelda games. However, he is still fictional. Fictional: "something invented by the imagination or feigned" [3]. Despite being in the games, Link is still invented by the minds of the programmers. The weird dude cannot be said to be Link, on many accounts: 1. He is not fictional, but real. 2. He is not legendary. 3. He has no abilities. 4. He is not the protagonist of any video games. Basically, he's just a wanna-be Link. The picture does not fit the definition. The picture is real, is not legendary, has no abilities, has no equipment, and is not the protagonist of any video games. Sure, it depicts Link, but it is not Link. There's a big difference. A picture of Link is not Link. A painting of George Washington is not a commander. My opponent kindly decided to answer my questions. I shall now expose him to be a fraud. 1. My opponent mentions the Wii, which is curious, because Minish Cap is actually for the GBA [4]. This means that he had to connect his GBA to the Wii. However, there is currently no function on the Wii that allows for the ability to take snapshots at any occasion, and GBA games are not inherently programmed to be compatible with SD cards. In conclusion, my opponent is a liar. 2. My opponent declines the opportunity to "enlighten" Zeldapedia, even though he bothered to type up a false documentary on tobacco in Hyrule. As I have already shown, Zeldapedia editors are very active, and they would be very eager to test my opponent's claims as to how he unlocked his event. 3. If the picture were taken directly from the game, then its resolution would match the game's. However, the game shows the picture in a poorer resolution than the website, something only possible if the picture was taken from the website and added to a picture as a forgery. 4. An electronic picture of a smoking cigarette can in no way substitute for a real cigarette. In conclusion, there are no cigarettes in Hyrule, and there are no lungs or lung cancer in Hyrule, and anything depicting Link outside of the Zelda video games would just be a depiction of Link, but not Link himself, so therefore, there is no Link between smoking cigarettes and lung cancer. Thank you, and vote PRO. Nails, this was a great debate. I appreciate that you did not attack the definitions, but instead made it into the funniest debate I've ever had. . http://www.frigginrandom.com... 1. . http://zelda.wikia.com... 2. . http://www.merriam-webster.com... 3. . http://www.merriam-webster.com... 4. . http://zelda.wikia.com...
