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 only vote 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 put in the anonymous sections will only count as 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 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.
 * A short notification must be made before changing the fight.
 * Please don't use talk templates.

It is now time for your favourite Zelda-related popularity contest, the TEMPLE. OF. COUUUUUUUUUURAGEEEEEEEEEEE!!! For this week, we have rounded up two characters famous for being rivals of the legendary hero(es). Let's see what has brought them here this day.

In the green corner, is the self-proclaimed "boss" of the Kokiri, who is the hero's rival for the affections of Saria. He does not consider the hero to be one of the Kokiri (ironically, it remained unbeknownst to him how correct he was), and attempts to deter him at any given opportunity. Later, however, he is shown to bear remorse for his actions against the young hero and confesses this to the older hero, whom he does not recognize. At the celebration of Hyrule's restored freedom, he is saddened to find that Saria is unable to attend due to having achieved her destiny. He would later become the inspiration for a town in the second game in the series.THIS. IS. MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDOOOOOO!!!

In the blue corner, we have a childhood friend of Nayru, revealed to be the Oracle of Ages. When Nayru's body is possessed by the evil Sorceress of Shadows, he chases after her through time. He encounters the hero multiple times throughout their separate adventures, and often ends up in situations where he is grossly out of his depth. He is eventually discovered to be the child of the queen of Labrynna. After Link's defeat of Veran at the top of the Black Tower, Ralph continues to remain at Nayru's side, protecting her. THIS. IS. RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALPH!!!

And now, having ultimately failed to best their rival, these two are now set to do battle with each other to prove whom is the (second) best! LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Votes for Mido

 * 1) I guess I'll just vote for who I know better, and besides, he's Mido, why not? Onion. ~Jioplip
 * 2) KOKIRI. ~XionXIV
 * 3) He's just better known. Emperor Jami 13:40, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Mido's dialogue to Link when he is an adult is what I consider the most emotional part of OoT. His words really do bring a tear to my eye. Also, he's a kokiri. -Stars  talk  http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/pyroac/Starssprite.gif 21:44, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) i hate this guy
 * 2) I've played Ocarina of Time, but haven't played Oracle of Ages. Mido may be a jerk at the start but after Link defeats the Forest Temple, which saves the Kokiri, even though Mido doesn't recognize him, he apologizes and tells you to say it to Link.
 * 3) Ralph is a hero wannabe. Mido is an annoying guy who is a real rival to Link.
 * 4) Pity vote
 * 5) Mido's retarded and i feel sorry for him.
 * 6) Gage didn't win, so I'm mad. Grrrrrrrrrr. Anyway this guy is just a Kokiri, who eventually evolve into leaf things who can't play the violin right. WIN
 * 7) i don't really like Mido but i love Ocarina of Time so go Jerko Kokiri!!!
 * 8) First of all, who the heck is Ralph? And second, Mido is from Ocarina of Time. P.S. Kokiris are awesome!
 * 9) Weeeell... Ralph has funky clothes... Girly much, I must say... But Mido is a jerk... But also, Mido is a Kokiri... Ok, Mido get's my vote for being a jerk-head Kokiri. xD
 * 10) I like to vote for the loser.
 * 11) How could he lose he's Mido "The Great"

Votes for Ralph

 * 1) This is one of the few times in recent memory that I can recall having to dedicate some real thought as to whom to vote for. I like Mido, and his relationship and attitude towards Link is a strange one, full of contradictions as it might be. Ralph is a bumbling dude what ain't got much of a chance against any manner of evil forces, but he has courage and a never-say-die attitude that's awesome and which I like. He was a refreshing original character, and remains a large part of the reason why I prefer Ages over Seasons. Mido is cool, but Ralph is, well, cooler. Dass the truth. --Auron  Kaizer !  20:02, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) ♪Ralph, Ralph he's our man. If he can't beat Veran then Link sure can.♫ --Birdman5589 (talk) 20:09, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Mido was annoying. Nothing else really to say here. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 20:44, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Per Joe. - Is  drak  thül  20:54, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Pretty much what AK said.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  22:22, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Ralph was a mysterious character whose history was revealed over time. Gotta vote for him. Nayru&#39;s Maiden (talk) 04:41, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) He's brave, loyal, and has a really cool cape.~ RavensMill 
 * 8) Score one for chivalry.  J-man   Zelda   Fan  20:00, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) At least Ralph isn't a total show-off BogusBongos2
 * 10) I hate to go against a kokiri but I think Ralph's theme is fantabulistic and, though he is useless, he was willing to sacrifice his existence to save Nayru, so thats just... even beyond link's courage. --Hydropanda
 * 11) I think Mido gets better as the story goes along, but Ralph is just a cooler character all-around. Portal-  Kombat
 * 12) Ralph is my favorite Zelda character. Period. There's no-one I'd rather pick, no-one I'd rather be. Except maybe for Lenzo, but only because he has sneaking powers. CrazyReDead
 * 13) Anyone who is willing to give up their own existence is a true hero in my book.And I always liked his little run in appearances during the game Oni Dark Link 16:17, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) Mostly voting for him because Mido is an egotistical tyrant. Dawn Of A New Day (is cool)  Deku Flight.png
 * 15) Mido is stuck-up, annoying, and he generally hates you. Also, Ralph is pretty awesome just because he can move at high speeds, and he's dedicated to Nayru. - Triforce   of   Epicness 
 * 16) Ralph isn't a douchebag so....win--DarkTriforce (talk) 02:00, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 17) I'm digging the cape. Oddball 464 02:57, September 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 18) Oh yeah, Ralph. --Ricorum (talk) 02:15, September 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 19) Don't even get me started on Mido. All I'm going to say is that he is  a stupid jerk, alright? 01:50, September 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 20) He has a sword --Hybasuku (talk) 17:44, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 21) He's a swordsman with a cape. --The Ultimate Hokage 88 [[Image:Arwing.png|link=User:TheUltimateHokage88/Cameo|30px|]]00:07, September 29, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Ralph was actually a pretty cool character. Mido was just a jerk.
 * 2) Ralph actually HELPED.
 * 3) I don't really know Ralph, but I know I didn't like Mido.
 * 4) Mido's just a jerk.
 * 5) Ralph FTW! Looky at his awesom cape!
 * 6) Ralph has a certian aura to him, and it draws many, including myself, to the fact he would risk his life for the protection of Labrynna. So he has my vote. -LinkandZelda, long live the two!
 * 7) Ralph is mad cool, and even though ocarina of time is my favorite game, mido is just a jerk who doesn't have a life and is just jealous of link
 * 8) I feel a little lukewarm to Mido, but he acts like a jerk and so I'm voting for Ralph.
 * 9) This dude gets trained by Link for goodness sake theres no beating that
 * 10) He helped thats all there is to it twlilght waker
 * 11) . Ralph is wayyyy more skilled than MIDO
 * 12) Ralph is better than Mido because even though he was a snob, he was willing to kill his ancestor(thereby killing himslef,although unknowingly) just to save Nayru.
 * 13) Hmmmmm...A bed-wetting kokiri that tries (and fails) to be boss or the descendant of a Labrynnain Queen? Hmmmmmm...

This week, we have a battle between two legendary sages/musicians who aid the hero in their respective quests. Let's meet our guys here.

In the light green corner is the Lokomo Sage of the Forest Realm, who plays a cello. The hero plays a special song together with him, restoring some of the Spirit Tracks of the Forest Realm. Later, he aids Link in his final battle against the evil Demon King. THIS. IS. GAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!!

In the light brown corner is a Korok who plays a violin that is much too big for him. First, he is rescued from the Forbidden Woods by the hero, allowing him to play the violin to fulfill the Korok Ceremony and ensure a fruitful harvest. Later, he is discovered to be the Sage of Wind, and together with the hero, he braves the Wind Temple, and helps restore power to the Master Sword. THIS. IS. MAAAAAAAAAKAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR!!!

And now, you all know how it goes, so LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Gage

 * 1) At least he wasn't an annoying, facepalm-inducing waste of time and energy like Makar. He's still as bland as a McDonald's coffee, though. --Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  04:07, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Yay, I was hoping for this fight! I like Lokomo songs and I haven't met Makar in The Wind Waker. Plus, I know that this guy plays an important role.--Black Dragon Laguz 11:49, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

 * 2) I choose gage because he plays cello and that reminds me of Apocalyptica

 * 13) I don't give a whit for Makar, but I really like his violin music. The Wind God's Aria is just so...catchy. Jedimasterlink (talk) 22:20, September 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) When it comes to a musical-ness-related fight, I only vote for the contestant that is a) more epical. Duh. And b) having a cool theme song. Gage's prayer was eh, but the Wind God's Aria is pretty epical. <font color=#3ba0c5>Dawn Of A New Day  Deku Flight.png

 * 16) Well, I haven't played WW, but WW PWNS and the little dude is just TOO CUTE! ~A Fellow Violinist -- #1 in the Class!
 * 17) Gage wasn't a particularly memorable character. A bit of a rehash of what we have seen before. Also, Gage appears to be based off of Makar, so most of the coolness with Gage probably comes with that. NO CONTEST!!!--  C  2  / C C  03:26, September 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 18) The Lokomo songs may quite possibly be my least favorite things in the entire Zelda series. It took me at least half an hour to do the stupid Desert Realm song. If I get stuck in a LoZ game, it should be on a boss or a cool puzzle, not on a stupid instrument. Besides, I got to control Makar, which is always cool. User:Collinsj 17:54, September 16, 2010 (UTC)

 * 22) The music. Case closed Metroidman94 (talk)
 * 23) He is so funny and I love violins Lombax war hero (talk)

 * 1) I used to think he was an onion and not a tree.
 * 2) WW rules!
 * 3) I like him because he has a funny looking face.
 * 4) Makar is amazing, the Koroks and Kokiri are amazing!
 * 5) Makar is awesome, and I enjoy his tunes
 * 6) Half the times I whistle a song, it's Wind God's Aria (Makar's Song). Makar didn't know he had power, so he couldn't help Link for most of the game. As for Gage, he's a Sage with supposedly amazing powers, but all he does is teach Link a song that you use once in the whole game.
 * 7) Go tree people!
 * 8) Makar is cooll!
 * 9) Where should I start? Makar is cute and tiny, I absolutely LOVE his prayer melody and look at those cherries on his bow! Makar is simply bound to win this fight.
 * 10) Gage is weird. Besides, Makar is a walking talking leaf! It's a magical, awesome, walking talking leaf! Gage is just a guy named after a gauge. They can't even spell 'Gauge' right.
 * 11) I so agree with 1 makar is llike a super adorable onion!!
 * 12) Hmmm...Wind God's Aria is EPIC, he rides on the King of Red Lions's head, you can play as him, his instrument is awesomer, and yes...the onion thing.
 * 13) You can fly with makar.
 * 14) so cute!
 * 15) TREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!

It'll be the swordfight of the ages, broadcasted in Age Dee to maximize the viewing experience! The credentials of these two master instructors of the blade will be announced in the ring! Let us go there, now-like!

In the purple corner is the greatest teacher of the art of the sword on the Great Sea, despite wielding a lance-like implement rather than a sword. A wizened old master, and one of the few still versed in warfare in a time of peace, he instructed the descendant of the legendary Hero of Time in the art of swordplay. Before embarking on the quest that would ultimately result in the defeat of Ganondorf, he gave the hero his first sword. He would also teach the hero the intricacies of the more complex techniques, even teaching him the seldom mastered Hurricane Spin Attack. THIS. IS. OOOOOOOOOORRRRRRCAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

In the brown corner is another revered master of the sword (whose real name is known only to those who have met their end in battle against him), who teaches those worthy (or in the possession of money) in his dojo in Clock Town. For completing his more advanced stages of training, he presents the hero with an item to boost his endurance. Despite being lauded as a man of courage, he (understandably) loses his reserve in the face of the impending destruction of the land of Termina. THIS. IS. THE SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORDSMAN!!!

If your mind isn't blown already, trust me when I say it will be once the fight gets underway. If any rapiers should escape the grip of their masters and begin to freely fly around the arena, do not be alarmed, because great insurance payments are given to those who die. Now that we're all fine with that... LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Orca

 * 1) Allow me to clarify some of this for you: Orca is the Chuck Norris of Zelda. Put anything in front of him and he will kick its butt fifty ways 'till Sunday. His soul-gazing stare alone is an ender of conflicts, if used properly. And look at him in his artistic depiction over there. He's got bloodlust in his eyes, a smug smirk on his face, and is already either praying that you do not continue past your limitations (in which case, you just plain die), or focusing all of his power into his hand to execute the Karate Chop Of World's End. Swordsman is pretty cool and all, especially his Squadalah technique is nothing to scoff at, but he wouldn't last half a second against Orca's Kamehameha Wave. He's nothing but a badarse, and probably has a confident Scotsman's accent to boot. All I can say is... good luck, Swordsman. Because you will need it to beat OOOOOOOOOOOOORCAAAAAAAAAAA! --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  23:13, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

 * 3) I feel sorry for the Swordsman. Or rather, NOT. -- Deku  Stick   Master  23:41, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Hmmm, Orca is awesome, Swordsman is a coward who boasts of false courage and power. ~Jioplip
 * 5) I...don't think I even need to explain.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  04:51, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I call him Oprah.  Super  ( duh... ) Alpaca Doggie Mask.gif 05:08, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) My vote goes to the guy who is invincible. He can take 1000 hits with the master sword and still be as healthy as when the fight started. ~ RavensMil|
 * 8) I bet this guy could fight link forever if he had to! ~User:Majoraswrath1999
 * 9) Orca is really cool old guy, and he gave me my first sword in my first LoZ game. I appreciated that he would give a sword to a somewhat hyperactive green-dressed little boy.

 * 10) I don't know how to/If i'm allowed to fix the numbering, so i'm not going to. But we better fix it quick because if orca sees that the numbering in his fight is mixed up he will use the KARATE CHOP OF WORLD'S END ON US. --Hylianhero777 (talk) 13:47, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

 * 13) He's ORCA, for crying out loud.  Besides, if I don't vote for him he'll kick my ass with that spear of his. AnonymousNayru
 * 14) How can you hit him a thousand ties without getting hit three? I cant even hit him once because he can block every attack <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark  <font color="#007A00">Link 17:14, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) Orca is just.... cool. Swordsman is interesting, but not memorable.--  C  2  / C C  19:22, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) Ok. Lemme clear this for you people. I have NEVER played Wind Waker, but I have seen my brother play it since five-hundred years ago! So, I hear the name "Orca" and I'm like....ugh....is this an animal you could like, shoot or something? I look at the picture and see a shirtless dude.....-.-" Then....~!~!~WHOOOOOOOOOO FLASHBACK~!~!~...and sadly, i don't remember the flashback anymore. But I remember now...that the old dude.....was kick-***... XP ~500 Years Ago...

 * 22) Orca all the way. This guy could take hits like nobody's business! He was the classic master: "Can't do it? Do it BETTER!" All there is to it. CrazyReDead

 * 24) I'm voting for Orca because I like him better than the other guy.-- MaloMart ( talk ) Malo.png 04:36, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 25) Orca is a true blademaster so he deserves to win this fight.~User:CerberuΣ GR
 * 26) Orca is cool. The swordsman is a random Hippie.
 * 27) While I do hate the Chuck Norris of Zelda (Like I do the Chuck Norris of Hollywood), I hate Aladdin over there more...22:30, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 28) Orca, or more commonly know as "OOORRRCCAA!!", managed to get his own fan-club. On the other hand, Swordsman didn't. <font color="#663300">T <font color="#996600">h <font color="#CC6600">e Midna Laughing.png ™  02:11, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) The other guy never actually fights! And WW is so awesome!
 * 2) Orca was way better and actually faught.
 * 3) He does not hide when death is coming to get em.
 * 4) Orca has my vote. The guy from MM doesn't fight with You, also HURRICANE SPIN FTW! 'Nuff said.
 * 5) vote for Orca 8D
 * 6) Orca's cool. And Majora's mask suck
 * 7) Orca actually teaches you something
 * 8) If you've ever found the swordsman on the final day of MM, well, the answer is pretty obvious...
 * 9) I didn't find the Majora Swordsman training very usefull, since I hardly used any of the techniques later on in the game.. Besides, Orca is old, but still strong and agile, why would he lose?
 * 10) Orca gives you a sword, practice, and the Hurricane Spin, which I like very much. The Swordsman rips you off in OoT, and he hides in his little house thingy. He could've at least been smart and hid in the Oceanside Spider House like the one guy that gives you the Giant's Wallet.
 * 11) I agree with the voter directly above me. Also, I like Wind Waker.
 * 12) Orca is better. end of story.

Votes for Swordsman

 * 1) I might otherwise vote for Orca, but the recent Orca-mania has quite put me off. - Is  drak  thül  00:02, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I always hated how Orca abused you when you messed up. This guy is much cooler, and he doesn't require 500 sword hits to get a piece of heart. -TriforceofEpicness
 * 3) This guy is cool, I mean, he gives you a Piece of Heart. I can't stand Orca mania. So, this vote goes to a bizarre, yet amazing swordsman.-- Black   Dragon   Laguz   I'm not doing anything suspicious! Really!
 * 4) I kind of like the Swordsman better, but in truth I like them both. This was a hard decision. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 00:59, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) I'll give him a pity vote since I felt sorry for him at the end of MM. Oddball 464 18:20, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Look at his hair --Tj hoffman (talk) 19:29, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

I have no idea how to vote on this one. I don't like Orca but at the same time I hate hippies. This might be a last minute or no vote this week. --Birdman5589 (talk) 00:25, September 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Orca gives me the creeps!-- Black  Dragon   Laguz   I'm not doing anything suspicious! Really!

Oh, crap, what did I just do to the layout and can someone fix it for me? It's like the sherr awesomeness of ORCA is glitching up the fight this week.--Hylianhero777 (talk) 13:49, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why does Orca have such a following? He's creepy! At least Chuck Norris doesn't look like an old, creepy zombie! Uh oh! I think I migh have ticked off the Orca <3'ers!--.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz   I'm not doing anything suspicious! Really!

Well, at least the intro isn't Orca biased.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz   I'm not doing anything suspicious! Really!
 * I really don't see how it is. MM didn't provide a whole lot of anything to work with regarding the Swordsman. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  17:25, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * He said that it isn't, and I don't think it was sarcasm. - Is drak  thül  17:43, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

PK, you could just set your L-targeting to switch mode. - Is drak  thül  00:16, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I thin he's referring to the comment Orca makes about your index finger after hitting him a thousand times. That's right Orca can break the forth wall too <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 17:39, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's right! Besides, they say that players who select the "HOLD" option for "L TARGETING" are the real "Zelda players!" Portal-  Kombat
 * Hahahaha! Yeah, I read that somewhere in OoT. And if Swordsman loses; I'm going to cry......Well, not really, but it will be sad and expected if he loses.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz   I'm not doing anything suspicious! Really!
