It is my pleasure to welcome you to Zeldapedia's greatly anticipated nine-thousand-and-first 145th week in the TEMPLE. OF. COOUUUUUUUUUUUUURAAAAAAAAGE!!! This week's climactic duel is between two cool and efficient warriors beings, each with their own set of... unique skills. Let's meet them now.

In the ice blue corner is a legendary artifact found throughout many dungeons scattered in different lands. This amazing object can be used not only to hold down switches, but also to climb atop high ledges; it also has its use in many devious ice puzzles. Not only can our hero freeze his monster enemies to create these, but they can also hold inside themselves both Small Keys and Boss Keys. Straight from your freezer, THIS. IS. IIIIIIIIIIICE BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK!!!

In the purple corner we have the elderly warrior of Outset Island, crippled by monsters and unable to use a blade. Living in a home with his older brother on the aforementioned island, this wise warrior taught our hero to use his sword, helping him to learn the legendary Spin Attack technique. When later in his quest, the hero brings this man ten Knight's Crests, he will teach him the powerful Hurricane Spin. Eventually, our hero even surpasses this fighter after hitting him 1,000 times with his sword without being hit himself even three times. THIS. IS. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORCAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Which of these two powerful entities will win in a match? Will Orca's blood run cold? ... ... ... ...Uh, anyway, on this great and long-awaited day, LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET's GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBLEEEEEE!!!

Votes for Ice Block

 * 1) You have no idea how long I have awaited this glorious day on which this legendary and amazing fight would enter the Temple of Courage. Ice Block for the goddamned WIN. -Minish   Link   22:41, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * :DDDDD YESH -- BassJapas  (Talk)  22:42, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) All your Iseblox are belong to Iseblox. Sorry Orca ol' buddy, but Iseblox are much more useful in these ever-increasingly hot summer months. Oh and best fight ever (not suggested by yours truly). Anyone who disagrees is mauron. Problem? http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i86/Kaizer13/SmilingMan.png --Auron  Kaizer !  22:46, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Yay! Ice Block is finally in a fight! And it totally beats some old guy with saggy moobs who claims to be an awesome swordsman but for some reason has not single sword in the house but has plenty of spears. Also he hits you whenever you make a mistake, which makes him an abusive teacher and he should therefore get his liscense taken away. Zant's Faithful ''' Servant
 * 3) a spear cannot harm the mighty ice block, If Orca hit it, it would just slide away, hit a wall, rebound, and knock him over,and if Orca climbed on it if he turned around he would fall on his face. Edit:plus if Orca stayed to long near it he get hypothermia.--Majora's Wrath Artwork.png Reinca  rnation  20:05, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) What Minish and AK said. Go nice lock, dice flock, mice chock, rice smock. (Yes, I got bored)  T h e Mask-Mimic.gif ™  15:35, June 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * So, to combat global warming, we drop a giant cube of ice into the ocean. Each year we have to drop a larger and larger ice block into the water... thus ending our problem once and for all... "But wha-"  ONCE AND FOR ALL! --Hydropanda (talk) 14:21, June 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) It's an ice block need I say more?Devdude (talk) 05:21, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) they're both pretty useless so why not... -Liamy (talk) 02:07, July 7, 2011
 * 3) Did i ever tell anyone that the temple of droplets (minish cap) is my favorite dungeon?  It has PLENTY of ice blocks, just adding to the fun.  I vote ice block! BlueLink.jpg.gif Blue  Link  BlueLink.jpg.gif  18:00, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Never played Wind Waker, though it seems like a great game. User:Trill&Plumm 4:30, July 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) I've never played WW either, but Ice block is a challenge. I like a challenge in my Zelda games. --Amythistfire  14:09, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) how can you not vote an inanimate object?
 * 2) MEH.
 * 3) I highly doubt that Orca can even aspire to have the same amount of vigor, will and determination the Ice Block always has... at any moment... always cool... always firm... staring with its eyeless face on his faceless persona...
 * 4) I spent way more time doing the stupid ice block puzzle in Twilight Princess than fighting old man Orca. THE ICE BLOCK'S DIFFICULTY IS INSANE. Thus, it wins this icy hot battle.
 * 5) Even though I really love Orca, I like the image of the ice block more:P Besides, as anonymous voter number one says, how can you not vote for a block? BLOCKS!!
 * 6) It's a block, it's ice, it's a block of ice! And if you call within the next twenty minutes, you get a frozen key inside absolutely free! But wait, there's more! If you call the number on your screen, you get double the offer! That's two blocks of ice, with two keys inside! All that for the low, low prices of $19.99 plus shipping and handling! So, if the number of your screen is blinking call right now!
 * 7) GIMMIE AN I! GIMMIE A C! GIMMIE AN E! WHAT DOES THAT SPELL!?!?! ICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * 8) As long as this ice block is not related to Vanilla Ice he's got my vote.
 * 9) The ice block litteraly cannot lose. No matter how long you wait for it to melt... it won't....
 * 10) This orca fellow is going to be confused and confounded by this ice block. Theres no way he gets the small key in the dungeon!
 * 11) It's a freaking block of frozen water. Enough said.
 * 12) ICE BLOCKS ARE AMAZING! Besides, I like drinking ice.
 * 13) Icy Block. I Love Icy Block.
 * 14) This ice block isn't going down without a fight. There's a reason it pretty much stops everyone. Period.

Votes for Orca

 * 1) Orca is a grand and powerful swordsman while the Ice Block, is, well, a block of ice. I have those in my freezer. I don't have a master swordsman in my freezer. At least, I don't anymore...
 * 2) ORCA IS THE ANGEL OF DEATH! Oni Dark  Link 22:46, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Even after being hit so many times, Orca sustains not even a scratch. He claims an injury keeps him from being an active warrior, but this is clearly just a cover-up for his true identity as Hyrule's eventual conqueror and warlord. Melting ice, on the other hand, often takes nothing more than hot spring water. Or fire. Or a couple minutes left in the sun at this time of year. Jedimasterlink (talk) 01:01, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Well I haven't exactly played minish cap so I am going to go with orca.  User:LoZSuperFan1 2:17, June 27,2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Orca taught me a powerful magic ability. The likes of the Magic edition of circle attack. Not only that he freaks out at you when you beat him up. Any old man who has the courage to beat a child with no worry is either a scumbag or an awesome warrior. But this was a close one I was about to choose the ice but then I realized that I had enough of it... considering the fact that I live in Northern Ontario, Canada. Woooo... Oh and also the Orca is nicknamed the Killer Whale... So basically Orca is a Killer Man. Wtf? K'jal'mar ( The talk| Contribs) 20:56, June 29, 2011 (UTC) (Oops I forgot to log in *-_-
 * 6) Is this even a competion it's one of the coolest and awesomest characters in zelda Orca vs one of the most POINT LESS things in zelda Ice Block. Also Wind Waker is awesome. User:Coolkat100
 * 7) Orca is alive Stalchild21
 * 8) Orca rulz --Tealdragon (talk) 19:27, July 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 9) Everything Jedimasterlink said. --Ricorum (talk) 06:34, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * 10) Orca is a swordmaster, however his icy stare is soo flamboyant that the ice block would spontaneously combust! --ComeBackKing (talk) 05:01, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * 11) OOOOOORRRRRCAAAAAAAAA!!!!! 'Nuff said. -- The One And Only Guitar Hero   Talk to TOAOGH |undefined You can't believe everything online, that's what started WW1 23:35, July 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * 12) I think a master swordsman can beat a freakin block of ice.../\/\r.6r33&#124;\&#124; &#124;-&#124;@T (talk) 00:04, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * 13) Hard choice, but I'm going with Hyrule's eventual conqueror and warlord. -- Deku  Stick   Master  20:42, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * 14) # I mean seriously why would you even compare a warrior like him to challenge an ice block i mean really. --''' TazAJ (Talk) 03:38, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) Holy piez! it's about time the fight was changed! Anyways, I don't really think you can compare an ice block to a warrior... they are way too different to compare. But, my loyalty lies with Orca. I mean, really. I'ts a block of ice...
 * 2) How can you vote for an inanimate object?
 * 3) Wait, why is there an old man fighting a block of ice? Orca's gonna win, he's the best sword trainer Link's ever had.
 * 4) I think Wind Waker was meant to be a " A breath of fresh air that would hopefully influence later games in the series" and to some degree(if my assumption is correct) it did just that. First with Phantom Hourglass and then later Spirit Tracks, however if im not mistaken they were not quite as popular as TP and OOT. But nonetheless, WW was something different and refreshing (even if it was also sort of easy and just a little corny)and all the characters help it to live up to this standard. So, Orca: Outrageous:his screaming and wild appearance added this word to my description the moment I saw him. Risky(I would never bang on the walls if my easily angered brother was just a floor above me, at least if i knew it could break something! Actually I probably would knowing me but it is still risky). Cold: his icy stare and strict teachings(I do not agree with abuse but I do believe that discipline has its values) are surely tipped with frost! Awesome-not like 'Wow! That's awesome!' but that he leaves you in a state of awe, which even those who are voting for his opponent know, whether its the good kind of awe, or the bad kind. His name alone electrifies the air! Orca, the sword trainer! I hope you will win!!!
 * 5) I just want to point out this is a popularity contest, not an actual fight. Go Orca!
 * 6) Orca kicks a**... wait... am i allowed to say that? never mind. p.s. A CURSE UPON WHOEVER IT WAS THAT ERASED MY OLD VOTE!
 * 7) 7. i want to see orca when...but tbh..i'm partially doing this to jsut tie it up X-D!
 * 8) Okay honestly ice vs. a human... ice< human. A human, in this case Orca, would ALWAYS win!!!
 * 9) I realize that this ice wouldn't melt, but Orca is so much more cooler, and could beat a block of ice any day of the week!!!
 * 10) I beat you Orca taught the block to fight anyway. - Natiscool
 * 11) Orca kicks butt and certainly a piece of ice!
 * 12) It's an old dude with a spear who is named ofter a massive killer beast.  If I want to beat an Ice Block, I freaking EAT AN ICE CUBE. If I want to beat this guy, I have to be agile and fast and epic, but not as epic as this guy. -1337/5 for Ice Block, 9001/5 for Orca.
 * 13) +1\2 Vote for orca
 * 14) Orca's, like, 2,000 years old. Automatic win.

Zeldapedia takes this opportunity to remind those wary of voting for an Ice Block that the Ice Block will never threaten to stab you, and in fact, cannot speak. In the event that it does speak, we ask you to disregard its advice. --Auron  Kaizer !  08:03, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes. -Minish  Link   15:16, June 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Much agreed. Ice block also doesn't have moobs. Zant's Faithful ''' Servant

let us hope that Ocra didn't bring a bottle of hot spring water or this battle will be very one sided-- Reinca  rnation  20:11, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Even though i voted for Orca some of his opponents votes made me smile! Nonetheless, a little hot water and Orca can wing it!

YES!!!! Orca is tied after after being behind this entire battle. User:Coolkat100

Ice block is in the lead? What the crap!!!x-( Come on! Orca fans!

Wow, I think that this is one of the closest weeks that we've ever had. But come on. Who wouldn't vote for an inanimate object when the only other competition is a skilled swordsman? <font color="#663300">T <font  color="#996600">h <font   color="#CC6600">e  ™  02:39, July 20, 2011 (UTC)
