Zeldapedia:Temple of Courage



Welcome to the Temple of Courage, where various characters from the Legend of Zelda series battle out on a semi-weekly basis! You, the people, are the deciding factors in these matches. Functionally, all of these battles are popularity contests and not "battles" as such. For instance, in a boss vs. boss fight, we suggest that you vote for the one you like the most rather than whether or not one enemy would beat another in a legit fight. This is only a suggestion, though.

If you have an account and have at least 50 mainspace edits, you can suggest a fight or vote or comment on others on the suggestions sub-article.

Rules

 * You may vote for your favorite or who you think would win in a competition between the two combatants that week.
 * You may vote only once.
 * If you are a user, please include your vote in the user section. If you are not a user, please include your vote in the anonymous section. However, any votes in the anonymous sections will count as only a half vote.
 * When a new fight is created (the process should take no longer than a week, give or take a couple of days), the votes from the last fight will be totaled and the winner decided.
 * Please sign your vote (unless you want to be counted as an anonymous vote) with a link to your username after your voting text.
 * Don't try to rig the votes by entering multiple votes; these pages are regularly patrolled and you WILL face consequences if you are caught.
 * Don't use talk templates.

 Warning : 'Do not include spoilers about Skyward Sword'' in your votes. The game is still new, and presumably many have still not completed it. Such votes will be removed. If your vote is removed, you are allowed to add a new, spoiler-free vote.'''

We are headed for a battle between two masters of sword and sorcery (swordcery?), and antagonists of the legendary hero. Let's see what the Tale of the Tape has to say about our two combatants.

In the maroon corner is a mysterious, lean figure whose flamboyant clothing and mannerisms belie a sadistic and manipulative nature without peer. The self-styled "Demon Lord" of the monsters inhabiting The Surface, he fights (and creeps out) the hero on multiple occasions, his threat increasing with each struggle. THIS. IS. GHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRAHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIMMM!!!

In the purple corner is a powerful Wind Mage. Originally the apprentice of Minish inventor Ezlo, he used his master's powerful wish-granting cap to obtain great power, and transformed his former master into a bird-shaped hat. In his quest for ever more power, he comes to hear of the powerful Light Force of legend; during a confrontation with the hero, he turns the princess to stone. Once discovered, he uses the Light Force to gain a small measure of its power, but ultimately fails to defeat the hero, and is sealed within a sword. He is eventually able to escape his confinement, only to be defeated again. THIS. IS. VAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!! Sparks of both a magical and... sword-clashy nature will fly during this heated battle! Will the new blood triumph, or will the old guard knock this young whippersnapper down? This decision, we leave to the audience! LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Ghirahim

 * 1) Thank you Jedi for the link of epic proportions. –  Jä  zz  i  22:31, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

 * 3) Ghirahim is fabulous. That is all. Jedimasterlink (talk) 22:45, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) While they are both awesome I think Ghirahim is just better. He is the best villain besides Ganon.
 * 2) Ghirahim is beyond epic from what I have seen of him.

Votes for Vaati

 * 1) I don't really know who that other guy is. I know who Vaati is, and he's awesome!
 * 2) I think vaati will win beause of his strong manner an evil
 * 3) Okay, here goes... will I vote for someone who goes on and on about the most meaningless subjects (that's spoiler-free, right?) or the one guy who is so awesome that only one other character is better than him? (Opinion, of course, but isn't everything?) Nope, no contest.
 * 4) My first impression of Girahim: Holy crap, he's gay. Need I say more?

Wow, that was fast. I'm happy to be seeing this; have wanted to vote for a while now.

Vaati and Ghirahim kinda look similar, exept of course that one is chibi style and the other seems to take exception to clothing.

 Warning : Spoilers end here.

Votes for Honey & Darling

 * 1) Because they make me angry. At least I could do the STAR game. –  Jä  zz  i  20:56, November 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) They're just so lovely Oni Dark  Link 22:26, November 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) I never liked either game, but these 2 are from MM and OoT, whereas Purlo is the TP version of Tingle. No matter how much I love TP, I ain't voting for Tingle.  Ike  00:05, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Dance of unseen perpetuity, behind a windmill occupied by a bipolar organ grinder. That's Lynchian imagery right there. --Auron  Kaizer !  21:55, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Their names are terms of endearment, pretty cool. I hate Purlo, never could win at STAR. Phantom   Zelda   ?!  
 * 6) +1 tingle disturbs me --TheBlueKnight (talk) 16:53, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) Mostly this is because I HATE TINGLE. Also, I never really liked Purlo's game and always thought he was kinda stupid even though he wasn't exactly the same as Tingle. He just seemed to be a slightly different annoying man in green who thinks he's the best thing since sliced bread. Plus, Honey and Darling have a really fun game and they're connected to the bipolar organ grinder. So I'm not so much pro-Honey and Darling as I am anti-Tingle/Purlo and pro-organ grinder.

 * 1) Epic. 'Nuff said. Also, their minigame is soooo fun!
 * 2) I'm not gonna vote for a Tingle look-alike with the name Purlo..
 * 3) Uhh. Let's see, an iconic couple that is recurring in the Zelda series or some random person that looks the Tingle... I think the winner is obvious. Though sadly I don't remember either one's minigame.
 * 4) No way am I going to vote for a guy named Purlo  who is probably Tingle in disguise.
 * 5) Purlo is the stuff of nightmares...
 * 6) Honey and Darling, soooo weird, but better then Purlo.
 * 7) If they're good enough to get a reference in Half Life 2, then they get my vote.
 * 8) I'd rather not choose the TP version of Tingle even though i hate these 2 in OoT.
 * 9) They has like 4 minigames (and i hates purlo cuz he annoying)
 * 10) I hate Honey and Darling but I love Majora's Mask. and I hate TP period. So H&D it is.
 * 11) Aah, my rule (vote on the right) has been broken but I don't want to miss a fight, especially since I haven't been coming here as much. Plus I genuinely prefer these two.
 * 12) noone likes tingle so who would vote 4 pearlo?
 * 13) The Cheese says: That other guy's just a jerk.
 * 14) They actually have something to live for: each other. Purlo only has his money.
 * 15) Tingle scares me....he's so creepy! So naturally a Tingle look-alike freaks me out too....H&D ftw! Plus, the H&D game is addicting....

Votes for Purlo

 * 1) Not a huge fan of either, but I find Honey and Darling to be incredibly annoying. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 21:08, November 27, 2011 (UTC)

 * 3) Purlo is funny.Tj hoffman (talk) 00:23, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Okay Purlo is pretty stuck up and as much as I hate him, I can't STAND being the awkward 3rd wheel, and the two lovers make me feel that way while raging at the bombchus... SO yeah Purlo it is.  Sca  thee Link_standing_ALTTP.png‎ 00:45, November 28, 2011 (UTC)

Well, we all knew this was coming, but it's a bit surprising to see only one anonymous vote on one side and a wall of them on the other. Yes, I know I'm part of that wall. (oh well, I'm just eagerly anticipating the next fight, knowing who I'm going to vote for and what I'm going to say)

If it's not changed when I get home, since it's a day overdue, I'll change it out for the new fight. –  Jä zz  i  18:33, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

Well, you voted the fight in, so... on your heads be it! Let's see what our two contestants have to their name!

In the blue corner, hailing from Zora Hall, located off the Great Bay Coast found in western Termina... he is the long-haired (-finned?) bassist of the all-Zora band known as The Indigo-Go's. Good friends with band colleague Mikau, before tragedy struck The Indigo-Go's, the two regularly held jam sessions, one of which resulted in the imaginatively titled masterpiece "Jam Session", their newest hit single inexplicably credited to bandleader Evan. Dudes... THIS. IS. JAAAAAAAAAAAAPAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAS!!!

In the grey corner is the wandering musical prophet of Holodrum... when he's not spending his time dozing off, he provides our hero with sage advice in an easy-listening key of A major. He is easily separated from the crowd owing to his neat dark sunglasses, strange instrument and his pride and joy, the record-setting snooze bubbles emanating from his nose at nearly any given time. THIS. IS. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOKRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAA!!!

By fortuitous happenstance, our contestants will lessen our already-strained budget by performing their own entrance music (rest assured, these funds will not be spent on collector's edition Teletubbies silverware sets). Don't forget to pick up their newest albums, available at our concession stands for thrice the recommended retail price! Lads and lasses... LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Japas

 * 1) Okay, well, for you n00bs and those who forgot: My old username was BassJapas for a reason. I've always wanted to play bass and I'm absolutely in love with Japas, he's one of my favorite characters in Majora's Mask. Hey...Why don't we forget about waiting for Evan to write a song and just write one ourselves? This vote is 500% biased. –  Jä  zz  i  00:16, November 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Let's face it. I'm biased toward anything from Majora's Mask and against anything from games I haven't played. Besides, playing the Underworld theme from the first game on that bass is pretty epic. Jedimasterlink (talk) 23:38, November 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) He's a Zora. 'nuff said. besides, he's great pun material. his bass is literally a bass. User:ShyGuyFan November 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Zora+MM+bassist+long hair like mine=Japas FTW!!!!  Nilk ''' admin
 * 5) I'm going to go with Japas this time, simply 'cuz I think he's just cooler AND I like Majora's Mask ALOT (currently favorite game in the series). Also the sound Japas produces with his bass is cool, and his hair is pretty sweet too.-- <FONT COLOR="orange">⽩㤖㒾</FONT> <FONT COLOR="blue">-</FONT> <FONT COLOR="#FF8000">㑻</FONT>  05:47, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Anonymous votes

 * 1) I know I'm breaking my own rule by voting for the guy on the left, but he looks like a rock star rather than some guy wearing a fancy outfit complete with (never expected it but) sunglasses. And this is the first anonymous vote, and the fight is finally switched out. And I'm done.
 * 2) another MM zora musician vs another Oracle musician... Well, I'll have to vote for Japas for the same reason I voted for Lulu before. Never played Oracles and Zoras pwn you all.
 * 3) I love zoras and Jadas rulez!
 * 4) Japas FTW! A Zora Rockstar vs a guy that looks Blind who probably can't even play a guitar. woah,this is a tough one(said sacasticly)
 * 5) Japas is awesome. That's all that's needed.
 * 6) Duuude! No seriously, Japas is a Zora, who would not love that?
 * 7) Never played, sorry never FINISHED Oracle series, I have finished MM though. I didn't enjoy it much, but I did finish it.
 * 8) Yes, Japas should win. Afterall he is a stoner
 * 9) As much as I love Oracle of Ages, I have to go with Japas. I envy him!!!
 * 10) Japas kicks but. He is a cool looking Zora with an awesome guitar. Japas is also a little more recognizable as a Zelda character. Just saying.
 * 11) MM is my favorite game, and Zoras are amazing.

Votes for Sokra

 * 1) Gotta go with my fellow guitarist (at least, I think it's a guitar). And the guy's got such a primo station in life. Play a little... do some prophesizing... (...exploit said psychic powers for the purposes of winning cereal prize contests...) and get some shut-eye in the meantime. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeah, that's life right there kid. ...What? Of course I like Japas a whole lot more and found him to be a surprisingly likeable and complex character despite the standoff-ish first impression I got. Yeah, it's a pre-emptive pity vote basically. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  23:44, November 13, 2011 (UTC)

You know, I like the irony of the fight choices when looking at this one and last one. (I'd say "week" but... Oh well)
 * I didn't even notice that until the second anonymous Japas vote pointed it out... Jedimasterlink (talk) 05:35, November 17, 2011 (UTC)

I know... (not my vote but) now I've been seeing Rosa and Sokra forming a band together. And I haven't even played that game.

I kind of want to see a creepy battle, like ??? vs Tingle. That would be the battle to see!

I know that I am not allowed to suggest a fight, but is it possible for someone who can to please suggest a fight between Doctor Borville and Lake Scientist?

Um. I know a user should be the one to say this but you can't suggest fights for someone else. Sorry, but that's the way it is. By the way, the "register" button is at the top right. And if you don't want a username for some reason, well then, okay, just know you can't suggest fights.

Per the Anon above me. It's against the rules to suggest fights for someone else. And I think that's already happened. –  Jä zz  i  14:13, November 24, 2011 (UTC)
