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.

That's right, tonight is Free Frog Leg Night in the Temple of Courage! That is to say, after the battle. Which, as it happens, is between two musical frogs. Let's meander through our contestants' discographies right now!

In the darker green corner is a mysterious frog composer who is never seen in the flesh. In springtime, he conducts the frogs of Snowhead Mountain, whose croak-tastic vocal abilities are the stuff of legend. From a hungry Goron, the hero is given a mask, most likely based on the likeness of the frog composer, which he uses to bring back the frogs, found scattered throughout Termina, for their annual spring oratorio. THIS. IS. DOOOOOOOOOOON GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRROOOOO!!!

In the lighter green corner is the most well-renowned amphibian singing sensation of Koholint Island, whose appearance is most certainly not a reference to a character from another game. His abode is carefully hidden in a maze of signposts, so that only the bravest of heroes can find him. Our hero eventually does just that, and for a modest fee, the frog singer performs for the hero a previously unreleased cut by the name of the "Frog's Song of Soul". This song has the power to bring life to certain dead lifeforms or inanimate objects. THIS. IS.  WART MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!

And now, for the millions of fans in attendance and billions watching at home, LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET REEEEEEEEEEEADY TO RIIIIIIIIIIIBBBBBBBBBBITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT!!!

Votes for Don Gero

 * 1) Oh please, is this even a competition? Forget the characters involved in the battle, Majora's Mask kicks ass any day. Giraffes (talk) 22:27, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Anonymous votes

 * 1) Majora's Mask>Link's Awakening
 * 2) umm... Majora's Mask, mask given to you by a goron, and... I don't really know... but ive never played LA, I guess...
 * 3) Never played link to the past so I have to go with Majora's Mask
 * 4) Link's awakening was epic, but I'm not going to vote for the frog that made my Emulator go all crazy..
 * 5) Its true, this isn't much of a fight. Mamu has won just about every fight he's been in. But there's just something so mysterious about this mask! For starters, Don Gero-you never see him in game(unless he's that goron...)and that's mystifying in itself! And then, the side quest, we all know it wasn't that great, but it leaves you with a sense of completion. So who are you gonna vote for? The under dog: a mask with unknown origin, or a long time champion who is a great character but also someone who has won so many times a faint disdain is stirring. But this is just me and my little half-vote. May the best frog win!

Votes for Mamu

 * 1) As averse I am to voting against anyone who bears the title "Don" out of fear of ending up in a pair of new, shiny shoes of cement, Mamu is just plain badass. The whole while I was playing the game, I was wondering "Oh, what could that signpost maze hide?" and then when I finally got around to doing it (I jumped the gun and tried to use the Piece of Power and the boots to jump the holes and stuff, but no dice), my mind was blown when Wart Mamu of all people was there. The subsequent song performance only served to shatter my preconceptions of life and sense-makery for years to come. Oh, and his song can bring people back from the dead. I'd like to see the Don (on the off chance that he's not just a Keyser Söze) fight Mamu and his army of skeleton chickens and a resurrected Kurt Cobain. --Auron  Kaizer !  23:22, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) GIANT FROG! HELL YES! -Minish   Link  13:00, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Resurrecting the dead, having an actual in game appearance, a better song and being an epic Mario cameo (he aint any plain old goomba, this is a Mario cameo of epic proportions that deeply connects the two series through the use of dram imagery). Really isn't a hard decision Oni Dark Link 19:03, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Woo! --Ricorum (talk) 16:58, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Mamu is based off of a Mario character, thus he wins. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 22:03, May 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Mamu rocks! Don Gero isn't even in the game and he may or may not try to intimidate people by being called Don (which is probably short for like Donatello or something) and his sidequest is stupid. Mamu requires you to solve challenging puzzles in exchange for a song to raise the dead. Mamu wins, no doubt.  Zant's Faithful ''' Servant
 * 7) I haven't actually played LA yet, but considering that nearly all the arguments for Don Gero are "vote for the underdog" and "he's from the better game", I don't think I'm left with much of a choice. And Mamu was ripped from perhaps the most unusual Mario game to date. Jedimasterlink (talk) 14:05, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) I HATED the stupid Frog Choir sidequest since I could never find the damn frogs other than the one in the Laundry place. So my vote's going to the frog that ACTUALLY does something to help you.

Hey, anonymous #2 for Don Gero, I know this seems nitpicky, but Wart, I mean, Mamu was A Link to the Past, not Link's Awakening. 12:58, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, Mamu was in LA (as opposed to NY). And it says in the rules not to use talk templates, so would you mind changing that? I was hoping to get him to do it himself so we wouldn't need the unsigned template, but that'll do. Jedimasterlink (talk) 14:00, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

In the purple corner is a group of young do-gooders residing in Clock Town. Aiming to please all throughout the land by doing deeds for them as well as helping them with their many troubles, our hero joins this group at the beginning of his quest. In order to do so, he must best five members of the group at a game of Hide-and-Seek, finding them all before the dawn of the next day. When he does so, he receives a notebook so he may keep track of his good deeds, and is granted permission to pass through their hideout in East Clock Town. THEY. ARE. THE BOMBERS SECRET SOCIETY OF JUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSTIIIIIIIIIIIICE!!!

In the light blue corner we have the descendants of the Seven Wise Men, all women. In order to break the spell on his master, Ganon, the dark wizard Agahnim captures and imprisons them all inside crystals hidden throughout the corrupted Golden Land. Our hero braves the many dungeons of the Dark World, and rescues them, and is gradually told the history of Ganon's war on Hyrule. Eventually, he rescues the seventh descendant, Princess Zelda; their powers combined, they open a gateway to Ganon's Tower, where our hero does battle with Agahnim once more. THEY. ARE. THE SEVEN MAAAAAIIDENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNS!!!

It looks like they're squabbling already, so get to your seats! This will not be a fight to miss! LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RRRRRRRRRRRRRRUMMMMMMMMMMBLLLLLLLLE!!!

Votes for Bombers Secret Society of Justice

 * 1) Kickass little kids who aim to do good throughout all of Termina? Sign me up! ...Not literally.
 * 2) It would have been an easy decision if it weren't for FSA. Those maidens are much more interesting, aren't as much of a copy of each other, show signs of being involved in their respective lands, can teleport Link across Hyrule, and turn into fairies, which is awesome. Though I do remember those maidens spouting a lot of text at me that I didn't really gain much from. Still, what gang of kids do you know was created to seek out and help people in need? They're just too cool. And the shorthand for their group is "The Bombers", which sounds like something else entirely, and the long form is "Secret Society of Justice", which is a way better title than "Seven Maidens".--Fierce Deku  04:31, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Because boys rule and girls dr- no, just kidding. Seriously, though, Bombers are way cooler, and aside from that they actually allow you to gain entrance to the very place you need to go to in order to make any progress at all in the game. So, yeah. Besides, SEVEN damsels in distress? Really? And you have to save one twice? Also, the one on the roof tries to escape Batman style, with the gliding! Awesome! And most importantly, I <3 bombs/blowing stuff up. Even if they don't do that at any time in the game, they still get points for the name. LINk ''' 11

 * 1) Bombers Rock!!! what can some little girls do besides get into trouble and teleport people around where bombers help people and have spit wad guns what could be better! The hero of time
 * 2) Myr
 * 3) Is it not obvious??? Bombers are a)in majoras mask b)cute and look so adorable in their lil' bandannas! Plus, have you seen their hideout?
 * 4) These dudes are in MM. Nuff said.
 * 5) The Bombers actually care about others, the hideout is awesome, and MM>aLttP.
 * 6) Three words: "hide" and seek. Man, it was so funny just watching them run around as soon as Link found them.
 * 7) I prefer Majora's Mask to A Link To The Past. I'm still going through aLttP (one of the 4 Zelda games I still need to finish) and it's not really exciting me all that much. Majora's Mask was amazing so my vote goes to the Bombers :-)
 * 8) Bombers FTW, the Seven Maidens got nothing on these Bombers!
 * 9) MEH.
 * 10) If it wasn't for these children i could never have spoken to that creepy old man who look through a telescope 24/7

Votes for Seven Maidens

 * 1) Seven Maidens All The Way. --Ricorum (talk) 03:46, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Bros before h... Scratch that. It may not be 72 but I think I'm going to have to go with the seven maidens. --Birdman5589 (talk) 03:59, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) The Bombers could be a little annoying at times, especially Number Three, whose... actions need not be elaborated upon (sick freak). Rescuing fair maidens is the bread and butter of a hero, and there being seven of them, could be the biggest accumulation of heroics in a Zelda game. And besides which, the music that plays whenever you rescue a crystallized maiden (now there's a good name for your new lackluster and brainless thrash metal project) melts this troper's heart. Every time. On a dime. Even with key lime. ...What was I talking about, again? Oh yes, I vote Edwards. --Auron  Kaizer !  05:28, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) ALttP....--LinksGirlfriend
 * 5) Secret society of justice...what acts of justice have they ever performed ever? The seven maidens actually are a great set of likable characters in Four Swords and in A Link to the Past they kind of started the whole trend of saving someone else other then Zelda. They also do a nice job of filling in the back story of the entire game. The Bombers where just a group of kids who don't do anything special and annoy me when they're still waddling around on the Night of the Final Day when everyone else has fled (seriously do they have no parents or sense of self preservation). Oni Dark  <font color="#007A00">Link 15:17, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Rescuing maidens... shouldn't a society of justice get on that some time? --Hydropanda (talk) 18:14, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) For all their talk about helping people, the Bombers never actually do anything except play hide-and-seek, attempt to pop a giant balloon, and play in the observatory. The maidens fill you in on backstory and help you enter the final dungeon in both of their appearances. Jedimasterlink (talk) 12:03, May 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) I've never played A Link to the Past before. But from what I've read about the maidens, they sound like they actually do something in their game.  I've never seen the Bombers do anything accept stroll around in Clocktown.  Sure they gave me the notebook, but that's about it.  And, as Oni Dark Link said, they're just a group of kids that don't do anything special. They were in Majora's Mask just to be there.  --Nevermind0309 (talk) 01:48, May 19, 2011 (UTC)

So, for the record, I'm pretty sure both of these groups are all one gender due to coincidence/graphics recycling. The bombers allowed whole other species in before Skull Kid came along, so why not girls, and I I'm pretty sure none of them ever said they were boys only. Also, Zelda is the last maiden you rescue after reaching the Dark World. That's why there are 7 dark world dungeons. Yeah, you rescue her at the beginning of the game also, but this makes it sound like she doesn't get captured again. I'm sorry, I just feel compelled to point these things out. It's a side effect of being a wiki editor.--<font color="Green">Fierce <font color="SaddleBrown">Deku 04:31, May 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Based on how the sentences were written and ordered, I'm inclined to think the Zelda rescue in question is the one after her second capture (the more significant one), since Zelda's rescue is mentioned after the others' rescues. Unless it was rewritten between our comments. EDIT: It was. Disregard this. Jedimasterlink (talk) 13:59, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

And to celebrate whatever this holiday is about, we have summoned forth its very embodiment for this week's battle! Because when I think Easter, I think... PRINCESSES! Let's see what these two monarchical figures are all about.

In the green corner, we have the princess of the Deku Scrubs that inhabit the region of Woodfall in the land of Termina. When the once comparatively clean swamp water of her domain became contaminated, she immediately took action and headed towards Woodfall Temple, the swamp's source. However, she is taken captive by the evil spirit that has taken over the temple, and the innocent monkey with whom she had embarked on this mission is mistakenly blamed for this. The hero is eventually caught up in this series of unfortunate events, and is able to cleanse the swamp water, rescue the princess from the evil Odolwa (and return her, in a most unusual fashion, to her home) and prove the monkey's innocence, but not before the Deku Princess lets her hasty father hear what's what. THIS. IS. THE DEEEEEEEEEKU PRINCESSSSSSSSSSS!!!

In the turquoise corner is the princess of the Zoras that reside in Zora's Domain in eastern Hyrule. When her people's patron deity, Lord Jabu-Jabu begins to act strangely, she loses possession of the ancestral Zora's Sapphire when checking on him. As she has done so many times before, she ventures inside of Jabu-Jabu to find her lost possession. The hero finds a message in a bottle written by the princess, which he shows to her father, allowing him to pass through to the fountain where Jabu-Jabu resides. Inside Jabu-Jabu, he does indeed meet Ruto, and inadvertently becomes betrothed to her when she gives him the Zora's Sapphire. Seven years later, the two meet again, and the Zora princess is awakened as the Sage of Water, destined to save Hyrule. THIS. IS. PRIIIIINCESSSSSS RUUUUUUUUUUUUUTOOOOOO!!!

The Easter Bunny himself is in attendance tonight to witness this spectacle. We hope that all audience members have brought along protective gear to prevent life-threatening damage sustained from any eventual showers of chocolate eggs. With that said... LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Deku Princess

 * 1) Bit of a toss-up here, actually. I like them both. However, Ruto, as we all know by know, is part of an Escort Mission, and it's not one of the good ones. That and she's a bit of an annoying brat and her becoming the sage was as obvious as it can get. The Deku Princess, while not having a lot of character traits or anything, just struck me as a more likable character and actually a semi-efficient ruler. And while she too was technically part of an Escort Mission, it was one of those that was fun, and actually took me a while to connect the dots on what to do. That's thinking outside the box. Ruto loses on some glaring character flaws here, I'm afraid. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  00:04, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Although I like Zoras as well as Deku (no way), I found Ruto herself and carrying her around a bit annoying. At least Link can carry the Deku Princess in a bottle, which is much more original than the letter in the bottle that Ruto had. -- Deku  Stick   Master  00:13, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

 * 5) Actually shows respect for Link as someone not bound to serve her upon first meeting.--RedeadhunterRedead.pngContributions Edits 00:39, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Love ability to carry person around in bottle. Also, Ruto ticks me off with her "How in considerate! You shouldn't have left me behind! If you're a man, act like one!" (Sorry, but, I was too busy killing a giant parasitic tentacle to hold you.) Also, I found it very annoying to have to carry her everywhere. (Although I enjoyed throwing her at jellyfish!) She also was extremely bratty, especially when you think about the fact that I carried her everywhere in that stupid dungeon (apparently she can't walk on her own), saved her from the big octo and Barinade, and then she yells at me for being late! (I didn't know we had set a time to meet up again) Then, she not only shows me very little gratitude, she also has to trick me into getting engaged to her! I think I'll end it Metallica-style: Specially Huge Amounts of Hatred and Cess-Ridden Filth to the Idiot that Follows: Princess Ruto!  LINk ''' 11
 * 7) I agree with Isdrakthül. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 15:16, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) Even though I like Ocarina of Time more, I'll have to with Deku Princess instead. Ruto is waaaay too annoying, you can just shove Deku Princess in a bottle and save yourself from having to listen to her complaining. Lincas 1[[File:Vaati (The Minish Cap).gif]] 19:39, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * 9) Okay, maybe that's going a little too far. But I really hate her. The Deku Princess, on the other hand, saves monkeys. Yay. Sir Real (talk)
 * 10) When I first met Ruto she reminded me of my Mom.  Then, when she falls in love with Link it creeped me out. I mean come on, the girl's like, part fish. The Deku Princess was her polar opposite.  I actually enjoyed the character when I met her, and I liked being able to carry her in a bottle. --Nevermind0309 (talk) 08:11, April 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * 11) This was a hard one. I think I'm kinda "closer" to Ruto. But then there is that fact that she just annoys the heck out of me. So I'll go for the Deku Princess this time --Breakin'Sleazer 17:15, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) I HATE RUTO. RUTO IS EVIL. DEMONS ARE EVIL. RUTO IS A DEMON!!!
 * 2) Ruto is annoying, although it is fun to toss her at those Bari to defeat them. The Deku Princess tops her because of that hilarious scene where she tackles her father in a scene of hilarity. DEATH TO RUTO!
 * 3) MEH.
 * 4) While I love Ocarina of Time and anything associated with it, Ruto's just sort of annoying and bossy, while the Deku Princess has spunk. Plus, I've always kind of wished Ruto would put some clothes on....
 * 5) Ruto has earned a special place in my heart. That place is a hellish realm where she burns for all eternity, kept far from her precious Link. A fitting place for a creepy, annoying stalker such as herself.
 * 6) After she's FINALLY done being rude, Ruto can never take the hint that Link doesn't want to marry her. The Deku Princess, however, actually treats Link like another being, not an object. Plus, I like watching her own her father.
 * 7) My vote's going for the Deku Princess mostly because Ruto scares the crap out of me, and the Deku Princess beats the crap out of her dad, which is by far the BEST scene in MM.
 * 8) My voice goes to Deku Princess. She was actually nice to Link, while Ruto was bossing him around. *nod*
 * 9) While Ruto is indeed hot, like A REALLY REALLY HOT FISH that i would do dirty things to, Deku Princess is just too cute, she has those yellow, big and sad eyes that just screams LOVE ME!! and the civilization of the Dekus has that Mayan feeling that is so mistic, not like those sumg fishes... also, Ruto doesn't hit her father, which would only augmented her awesomeness, a missed oportunity...
 * 10) Weird naked fish lady chasing after Link, Deku girl who owns her dad for being an idiot...no contest. Deku Princess
 * 11) Personally, from the theories I gather, that the Deku are more deserving of sympathy and respect. I think Ruto, though important for the symbolism of the mythology, is ultimately a creepy stalker who forces Link into decisions he doesn't want to make. Deku Princess...? You put her in a bottle for crying out loud! XD

 * 3) First of all I think Zoras are awesome. Plus Ruto and I have a bit in common. We both like Link plus we are both annoying. She's the Sage of Water which is cool, both Princess and Sage! I think the Deku Princess is ok but Ruto's a much better character story wise.--<font color="#9900cc">Links <font color="#1EE999">Girlfriend

 * 5) For some reason, Ruto wasn't as annoying to me. The Deku Princess, for whatever reason, was worse for me. --Ricorum (talk) 00:01, April 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Ruto is more femenine...--Longhorn Velez (talk) 22:58, April 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) Zora > Deku any day of the week! Just sayin. Njh117 (talk)
 * 8) Not that I have any (specific) thing against the Deku Princess, it's just that I think Ruto is better overall. Plus, Ocarina of Time is my favorite Zelda game. Corfid Bizna (talk)
 * 9) I've got fonder memories of Ruto. Nayru&#39;s Maiden (talk) 05:56, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * 10) Never really a fan of Deku Princess, for whatever reason. Good story and all, but I just like Ruto more.--  C  2  / C C  17:35, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) As a child she is cute (especially when she blushes), as an adult she is hot, she's a Zora and you don't have to figure out that you must capture her in a bottle.. Because that makes much sence..
 * 2) heheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh shes hot
 * 3) Female Deku in a bottle.... have to go whit princess ruto on this one.
 * 4) Princess Ruto is totally hot. And i LOVE Zora people... THEY'RE AWESOME!!!!! :-)
 * 5) I agree. I think she did more to save her land, and besides, she's the sage of water. WIN!!!!
 * 6) Deku princess was so annoying, princess ruto was kinda annoying but funny.
 * 7) DFC love <3
 * 8) I fell in love with her, even though she could act like a biatch^^
 * 9) Look at Ruto, though she has scale she is kinda pretty. But Deku princess is butt-ugly and looks EMO!

This looks pretty one-sided. But I don't think it's because of people liking Deku Princess(she's barely a character), but because everyone just hates Ruto so much. LINk ''' 11
 * "A character is the representation of a person in a narrative or dramatic work of art" Deku Princess is not barely a character. She just had less of a role than Ruto. --<font color="#00BFF3"> B <font color="#000000">a <font color="#000000">s <font color="#000000">s <font color="#00BFF3"> J  <font color="#000000">apas  14:13, April 25, 2011 (UTC)
