Okay, quick recap.
His opponent was skilled at both melee and ranged fighting. He was fast AND strong AND agile, and had only taken hits so far due to Link's advantage of surprise. He could float, toss his weapon like a boomerang, and swing it like a sword...Link wondered for a half-second if the key could explode as well.
The environment wasn't helping matters. More than likely he'd trip over an unseen tree root at some point and go sprawling, leaving himself wide open to attack. It was also entirely possible that all the commotion could dislodge a few dead branches and send them falling down onto his head, or that another cloud of dirt and leaves would get kicked up to impair his vision.
Link sighed to himself. This wouldn't be an easy match; the only way he could see himself winning is if he managed to be faster while he and Phanto Guy traded blows.
Link frowned as he remembered something; he had one tool that Phanto Guy likely did not. He could still use it to his advantage...
In one fluid movement Link had sheathed the Master Sword and pulled out his Clawshot. The mechanical contraption fit snugly over his hand like the metal gauntlet it was supposed to emulate, the three-pronged claw on its end open and ready to grab something.
Link raised the Clawshot and was about to hit the trigger when--
*BOINK*...A pink and squishy meteor fell out of the sky and hit him like a Darknut's axe.
Link didn't have time to so much as yell out in surprise as Kirby took him along for the ride, the two of them bouncing away into the Ventosus Plains together.
"LINK--!"
Midna looked back and forth between Phanto Guy and her retreating guide, who was rapidly becoming a bouncing green dot in the distance.
With a quick bow and a hurried apology, she flew off after the Hylian at top speed.
And then a booming voice cried out from the heavens:
"NO CONTEST."
