 * 1) Oath to Order 16:57, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) XXXXX 17:18, 23 April 2008 (UTC)He's just more popular.
 * 3) LadyNorbert 18:08, 23 April 2008 (UTC) He's the King of Evil, what more needs to be said?
 * 4) Mr kmil 15:20, 4/23/08 "Agreeing with Ladynorbet, I have reasons (I take Logic) 1. He shows up in more games. 2. Once, He was commanding Vaati. 3. His attacks are way better. That's it
 * 5) Power courage wisdom and time 19:49, 23 April 2008 (UTC) He is just gonna win
 * 6) Hero of Time 87 20:10, 23 April 2008 (UTC) This is a no-brainer. Ganondorf certainly has the ultimate power to utterly destroy Vaati.  He possesses the power of the Goddesses themselves, whereas Vaati is merely a wind mage.  Ganondorf has so many magical powers and attacks that he is by far the most formidable villain in the series.  He would win hands down.
 * 7) Wings Of Icarus 01:43, 24 April 2008 (UTC):You would think that Vaati has absolutely no chance against Ganondorf. Last time I checked, Vaati didn't possess the Triforce of Power. Vaati was just a wind mage. Did Vaati manipulate Zant? No. Is Vaati the King of Evil? No. Obviously, Vaati doesn't stand a chance.
 * 8) --Mario vs Bowser56 02:44, 24 April 2008 (UTC)Ganondorf will win easily I mean he's never killed unti Twilight Princess and Ganondorf has been called a dark and evil King and Vaati a Wind Mage. Ganondorf has a cool transformation Ganon and Vaati a big ugly monster and Vaati has ever possesed Zelda no and I say this Shame on you Vaati. We all know Ganondorf will win case closed.
 * 9) Zelda-Sama15:35, 24 April 2008 Honestly, I vote for Ganondorf, because he's got more powers. He has the Triforce of Power whereas Vaati is the Wind Mage. And does Vaati compete with Link in swordsmanship? Nooooo... Has Vaati been the major villian in most of the Zelda games? Noooooo...
 * 10) AuronKaizer : Heh, Vaati is one of my least favourite villains in any game anywhere. Ganondorf owns Vaati, go figure. Featured in the Zelda game with the worst plot (Minish Cap) and a game one has to have friends to be able to play, of which I have very few, and none of who have another Game Boy Advance and the ALttP Advance game. So, you lose Vaati. By the way, all his power also comes from something as lame as a magic cap. Err... 16:22, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Ganondorf and Vaati were both in Four Swords: Adventures, and Ganondorf was the villain in that game.

Votes for Vaati
Ganondorf said it himself,"...When the sun rose into the sky, a burning wind punished my lands, searing the world. And when the moon climbed into the dark of night, a frigid gale pierced our homes. No matter when it came, the wind carried the same thing... Death. ..." Is not Vaati the Sage of WInd??? Is it was man to man: Vaati. Creature to Creature: Vaati Count Caterpie 23:08, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

TwistedNerve 18:03, 24 April 2008 (UTC) It takes four Links to defeat Vaati, while one Link constantly beats Ganondorf.

XXXXX 17:21, 23 April 2008 (UTC) Ganondorf is more popular. If this were on The Mass Menagerie it might be more evened out because Hyrule Colosseum works differently.

Votes for Gorons

 * 1) Murchadah: 02:10, 17 April 2008 (UTC) Gorons. Big. Strong. And a bit scary. 'Nough said.
 * 2) Oath to Order 02:16, 17 April 2008 (UTC)Always liked them more. Friendlier I guess.
 * 3) Mr Kmil 9:52, April 18, 2008 Goron are pretty cool, and I like Zoras too, but Goron do sound better, because of the fact that they can grow metal and be very strong. Also, they're a lot nicer to Link than Zoras are.
 * 4) Count Caterpie 00:03, 19 April 2008 (UTC)2-ton rock bodies can easily crush scrawny little Zora muscles. And little spears can't hurt a rock.
 * 5) Raathuus Gorons could use their muscles and snap the Zoras in half!
 * 6) Mario vs Bowser56 Gorons would win there as hard as rocks and they can turn into boulders to crush the Zoras plus there arn't any Zora bosses or mini bosses and Gorons can use their sumo moves and the Zoras only have Prince Ralis as their leader I mean a little boy as their leader but Gorons have a better leader uh... i forgot his name but Gorons would win i mean when their leader is possesed by the Fused Shadow he is a big firy dude named Fyrus but the Zoras don't even have a big water dude as a boss because its just a giant eel that is easy to kill (not easier than the Temple of Time boss). The Goron leader helps you by breaking the rocks to hidden village but Prince Ralis just gives you a earing just a earing to catch a fish to lead you to Yeto and his wife who becomes possesed by a mirror shard and tries to kill you.(just a earing just a earing JUST A EARING) Any way they have some Gorons who give you swords like Biggoron. (just a earing) and we all know Gorons will win JUST A EARING

 * 1) They can both breathe underwater and the garons kick butt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


 * 1) The Gorons are pretty strong, and they do have bombs. Of course, part of it would depend on location


 * 1) Gorons can roll around in balls and eat rocks. What more could you want in life?

Votes for Zoras
littlmiget123: Zoras should win because its ovbious: water beats fire/rock. If I'm right Zoras are amphibious, and if a Goron goes into a lake, they will sink right away. And plus... they're cool!
 * 1) BlueHighwind: Zoras because I like water better than rock, skinny better than fat, and always have more fun in the Water Dungeons that the Fire ones.  And that sumo wrestling video game didn't help anything for the other guys.
 * 2) Fillfrog: Zoras would win because they are smarter and brain beats brawn.
 * 3) M. H. Avril: I vote for Zoras for a few reasons. They seem to be  smarter and they can survive in water, the most abundant thing on Earth and in the world of Hyrule. The Gorons either sink to the bottom and die (like in Majora's Mask), or just sink to the bottom and be stuck there forever (like in Twilight Princess). And I know that Gorons survive in lava, but you basically only find that in Death Mountain, where they live. Also, Zoras seem to actually have both men and women, while Gorons seem to have only male members.
 * 4) Hero of Time 87 14:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC): I agree the Zoras would win, for many of the same reasons Avril stated.  The Zoras are a more graceful race and have the unique ability to survive in water, which like Avril stated is the most abundant thing in the world and gives them the ability to go places no Goron could go.  They can also survive outside the water for a time, which gives them an advantage over the Gorons since the Gorons really can't swim or stay afloat.
 * 5) XXXXX 15:08, 17 April 2008 (UTC): I concur. The zoras have a thriving monarchical society. The gorons have a tribe of male-only members, and they place brawn as their main defense weapon. They do, have a strong society but they lack the organized ways of the Zora.
 * 6) --Power courage wisdom and time 22:23, 17 April 2008 (UTC) Gorons are going to get the ponage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Think about the numbers, terrain, speed blah blah blah...
 * 7) AuronKaizer: Zoras because basically, Link in Zora form kicks ass. (By the way, by that definition, do you hate yourself BH?)
 * 8) Wings Of Icarus 12:53, 23 April 2008 (UTC): Zoras are simply more dignified and graceful. Zoras seem to be more intelligent than the Gorons, and are able to swim, whereas Gorons on the other hand, can't stay afloat. Zoras also have the unique ability to survive in and out of water, whereas the gorons are restricted to land which gives the Zoras an advantage over the Gorons, who, as I said before, can't stay afloat.
 * 9) ZeldaFanatic98 14:02, 23 April 2008 (UTC): Both the Gorons and the Zoras have advantages that the other doesn't have, but the Zoras have the unique ability to travel both by land and water, something the Gorons cannot do.  While the Gorons may have brute strength, they would be defeated if confronted with water, while the Zoras would dance circles around them.  On land, the Gorons may have a slight advantage, but the Zoras seem a bit more intelligent race.  Therefore, the Gorons are more likely to be outsmarted by the Zoras if the situation arose.  So my vote is cast for the Zoras.

RTZ 04:22, 18 April 2008 (UTC): I think that in setting, it would decide the winner. I never saw a Zora on Death Mountain. You don't find Gorons in water temples. It is about the place rather then the person... But in retrospect I should have voted for Gorons...

XXXXX 04:43, 18 April 2008 (UTC)Actually there is a drying Zora unable to do anything but stand in the heat of Death Mountain in Twilight Princess.

M. H. Avril 05:01, 18 April 2008 (UTC) Also, if you make it to the Hot Spring on the other side of Death Mountain (not in Kakariko Village), you'll find 2 more Zora "tourists".

Hero of Time 87 14:58, 18 April 2008 (UTC) The Gorons are certainly not the nicest to Link always, as evidenced by Darunia's first attitude toward Link and their open hostility toward him in Twilight Princess. The Zoras meanwhile have never been rude or tried to turn Link away, save for Ruto upon their first meeting.

Next fight is Ganondorf vs. Vaati. It'll be changed tomorrow. Oath to Order 19:37, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

XXXXX 19:51, 22 April 2008 (UTC) Huh. I guess if no one votes before tomorrow, it'll be a perfect tie.
 * Anon votes count for half a vote. If no one votes, it'll be 7 - 7 1/2. Oath to Order 19:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

XXXXX 14:52, 23 April 2008 (UTC) Ah, never mind. At least zoras win! I guess you do get more privilege if you're a registered user. So never mind what I said before, and deleted.
