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.

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.

Two creatures astride... other creatures will battle to see who takes home the Cherished Golden Lance (of yore), or something like that. Let us meet our battle-hardened riders on the central field! Hearken well to these words of wisdom (of yore), friends!

In ye green corner, we have the Ruler of all Bulblins, whose mount is the Ruler of all Bullbos. He serves the wicked usurper of the Twili throne, and battles the hero on many occasions, often defying apparently certain death to return to the field of battle. Upon being bested in the gardens of Hyrule Castle, he acknowledges him as the stronger side and provides the means for Link's entry into the castle, no longer the servant of the false king. THIS. IS. KIIIIIIIIIIING BUUUUUUUUUUUUULBLINNNNNNNNNNNN!!!

In ye blue corner, we have a Guardian of the Great Palaces of Hyrule, and a leader of the feared Iron Knuckles. Clad in blue armor, wielding a huge lance and riding a pale blue horse, this powerful knight deters the hero in his quest on a multitude of occasions. Upon the loss of his mount, he engages the hero in melee combat to the bitter end. THIS. IS. REBOOOOOOOOOOOOOONAAAAAAAAAACK!!!

These two riders are getting impatient, so as soon as the King gives the word, the battle will begin. *waits* Oh certainly sire, take thy time cleaning up that spilled mead (of yore). Well, neither the fighters nor the spectators can abide any more delay. I may get beheaded for this, but LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!!!

Votes for King Bulblin

 * 1) I don't know Rebonack, and he's pretty generic-looking to me, while King Bulbin is and honerable warrior, and a survivor, did Rebonack survive falling off not one, but TWO bridges? That's what I thought. Jioplip
 * 2) King Bulbin is just plain awesome. He helped Link in the head, thus means Link could not have gotten to Gannon Without him User:DekuScrubzRule

Votes for Rebonack

 * 1) I find his name awesome (despite the fact that it's probably incorrect or whatever) and he was a challenging fight(s), not like that bloated, overstayed-his-welcome slapstick element that was King Bulblin. Lances are also way cooler than axes. Not the Bass kind, though. --Auron  Kaizer !  19:53, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

This week, we have a battle against two famous ninja-esque characters, both of whom are revealed to have a bigger purpose during the course of their respective games. Let us meet our contestants in the (Moon)ring!

In the blue corner is a mysterious masked Ninja, who wears a powerful gauntlet on his left hand. Initially, he serves as the servant of the one who seeks to revive the feared Demon King and proves a formidable opponent for the hero. However, after being betrayed by his master, he joins the side of good and eventually makes the ultimate sacrifice for the powers of good, redeeming himself. THIS. IS. BYYYYYYYYYYYYYRRRRRRRRRRRRNE!

In the red corner is the leader of the Gerudo, an almost all-female tribe of thieves residing in the western desert. Despite being the subordinate of the great King of Evil, she does not see eye to eye with him, and indeed, attempts to ruin his plans by obtaining the coveted Silver Gauntlets that bestows great strength upon the wearer... however, she is spirited away by evil twin witches. After she is freed from their spell and the witches are defeated, she is revealed to be the revered Sage of Spirit, and aids the Hero in sealing away the King of Evil. THIS. IS. NAAAAAAAAAABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORU!!!

If you look towards the center ring, you will see nobody, for these powerful characters are utilizing their powers of ninja secrecy... but be assured, they are ready to fight for Ultimate Ninja Supremacy! The Kunais and Throwing Stars and whatnot will fill the arena during this epic power battle, so be sure to buy some protective gear from the concession stands before the match begins. Speaking of which... LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBLE!!!

Votes for Byrne

 * 1) Byrne is a better, deeper character. He also has magical abilities and a giant, mechanical arm. Nabooru is just another annoying person in OoT that is implied to have romantic feelings towards Link, and they're a dime a dozen or whatever the expression is. She also needs to put some proper clothes on. - Is  drak  thül  23:23, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I like Byrne because he looks cool, has a freakin gauntlet on one hand, and has a pretty neat story and surprising identity.  J-man   Zelda   Fan  00:04, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Byrne for sureEriktheEagle (talk) 01:11, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Um, yeah, well, HAVE YOU HEARD THE MUSIC FOR HIS FIGHT?! --Jazzi BassJapas Japas Artwork.png 01:15, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) I agree with unregistered guy. He's WAY more amazing than Nabooru. Besides, I don't really like gerudos.--Black Dragon Laguz (talk) 01:22, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Byrne baby Byrne!Rusl 33 (talk) 02:31, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Gotta go with Byrne on this one. He's just so much cooler, not to mention a freaking ninja! CrazyReDead
 * 4) This one is tough to choose but not only is Byrne a deeper character but I think he would actually be able to win in a real battle. Although it would have to be by decision after all the rounds are over. --Birdman5589 (talk) 06:32, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Byrne may not be the most creative villain or have the most interesting boss fight, but the guy's pretty cool in his own way, even if that way is sort of stereotypical. Nabooru...just did not interest me. She just seemed like a filler to fit the role of the Spirit Sage. You'd think she'd at least have the inegrity to make less manly grunts whilst brainwashed and in a big magical suit of armor, but nooooo, she has to pretend to be just like the things that already appear twice in the dungeon without her.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  06:41, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) As much as I like Gerudos, Iron Knuckles, the Spirit Temple and Nabooru in general I have to go with Staven. After all it was international lefthanders day last Friday (seems like flawed logic I know but everything else that can be said about him has already been said) Oni Dark  Link 10:58, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) As Oni said, Byrne is a lefty (and I'm a lefty so that is awesome.) Plus, Byrne was without a doubt THE BEST ORIGINAL CHARACTER IN SPIRIT TRACKS.--Hylianhero777 (talk) 13:29, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

 * 10) +1 Byrne --TheBlueKnight (talk) 18:43, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) Byrne is fully AWESOME. Extremely powerful, mechanical-handed dude of awesome VS some dark-skinned desert sage. Is this even a question?!-- The One And Only Guitar Hero   Talk to TOAOGH |undefined You can't believe everything online, that's what started WW1 20:21, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Bryne is just a beast. I mean really, that's one awesome arm!  DekuScrubzRule
 * 13) Byrne has tught us all a lesson: ZELDA NEEDS MORE CYBORG BOSSES! Even though it is in the medieval times (supposedly), Bryne just fit in flawlessly! He's a great character, and we need more like him!  Cybrwulf   (Talk   Edits) White Wolfos (Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask).png:04, August 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) Gave Spirit Tracks one of the Zelda series' few somber endings.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 15) Byrne's just plain cool...I mean, he has a robotic hand! and I like his music as well. -TriforceofEpicness
 * 16) Byrne is awesome... hes 1 of the strongest chars ingame.--Yorick141 (talk) 07:50, August 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 17) It feels weird not voting for the person from OoT, but Byrne would actually win in a fight. Aside from when she was brainwashed, Nabooru didn't really fight anything. If she fought anything like the other [female] Gerudos, she could give Byrne a hard time, but that's pushing it. Notice how they both have to do with spirits, though? Corfid Bizna
 * 18) Byrne earns this vote simply for having 3 theme songs, regular, battle, and freaking epic! But he also goes a step further, having powerful magic, offensively and defensively, a giant claw, and an extremely touching and heartfelt death scene.- Jioplip
 * 19) I had trouble deciding between them. I voted for Nabooru the last time that she was in the Temple of Courage, and I didn't vote for Byrne the last time that he was in the Temple of Courage. Also, Bryne looks really cool. T h e Midna Laughing.png ™  02:26, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 20) Byrne has an awesome theme song and arm. zdmshadow
 * 21) Naburoo was only a minor character helped seal Ganon away. Byrne was a good villian that sacrifises himself to bring Zelda back to life! He wins! -Twilight Sheikah (talk) 02:41, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 22) As much as i like the Spirit Sage, I have to go with one of the lokoms (even though the sage sbeat lokomos anyday). his gauntlet it sweesweet and so his his music. also he dies for Zelda which totally redeems him as a villain (kinda like my favorite villain Zant.Aslo his sacrifice added depth to the story and almost touched me.

 * 23) Byrne was my favorite thing about ST. Sir Real (talk) 19:49, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 24) I choose Byrne. --Leave for California (talk) 15:33, August 23, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Byrne was fun to fight! Plus, it was touching when he died.
 * 2) Byrne is waaay better.
 * 3) Byrne is just such a amazing character.
 * 4) Byrme is awesome as a character and is awesome as a fighter.
 * 5) Byrne is just awesome. He had a personality, and he sent Alfonzo flying into a train, just OWNED Link when they first met, and the fight against him is challenging. Plus, his music is epic.
 * 6) i like his arm 8D
 * 7) Byrne is awesome. He sacrified himself to save Zelda, and this makes of him a hero. Plus his mechanical arm is cool.
 * 8) I say Byrne. His name sounds like "Burn" so its cool.
 * 9) Byrne would definitely win this fight. He could definitely beat Nabooru's butt.
 * 10) I hate the Gerudo. In most games, it's because of a Gerudo that link has to fight (and work with) a gazillion noobs and die fifteen times! And the Gerudo kept spotting me in Gerudo Fortress...
 * 11) In Ocarina of Time, Nabooru is enslaved by somebody that link can beat solo. But in Spirit Tracks, Link needs Zelda's help to take out Byrne. I think you can tell who's better. (And for all you Nabooru fans, it's not her.)
 * 12) Blame it one my love for ninjas to vote for byrne.
 * 13) Byrne totally PWNS
 * 14) Byrne is waaay better and I cried when he died!! I also love his theme song.
 * 15) Byrne has a role in the game, Nabooru just comes part way through. Plus his music and are are cool.
 * 16) I really do like Naburoo, but Bryne is more memerable and dies a great death!
 * 17) Byrne looks cool, is stronger and hilariously swept Link away..
 * 18) Byrne is FREAKING AWESOME!!! I haven't even played the game and I like him! :D
 * 19) Byrne Is just so much cooler, look at his arm!
 * 20) Byrne's fight and music are way better. Nabooru's fight is almost the same as any other Iron Knuckle in the game.
 * 21) He was just cooler, hands down!
 * 22) Byrne was my favorite boss in spirit track so ,i vote for him

Votes for Nabooru

 * 1) Now, don't get me wrong; it's not so much that Byrne doesn't own, 'cause he does, but I just plain find Nabooru more awesome, not to mention a tougher boss battle. 'Sides, she's a woman, and liking women as I do, I vote for 'em occasionally. Her story was an interesting one... not to mention her appearance in the Abridged Series! What in the name of Crocodile Dundee is going on? Mmmm, dat's classic bro. Byrne, come back when you're a little, mmmmm... richer, and not so much a Spirit Tracks character. --Auron  Kaizer !  23:17, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Nabooru actually WANTED to help Link, Byrne only helped out cuz he wanted revenge for being tricked. Plus, Nabooru kicked serious butt in OoT, and Byrne.... well he just plain sucked. Lincas 1[[File:Vaati (The Minish Cap).gif]] 23:41, August 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I think that Nabooru, is AWESOME!! And i love Gerudos!! Except for Ganandorf of course :) xgangsterxninjax
 * 4) Hard choice but I think I just like Nabooru a little bit more. The fight against her was also more intense. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 00:38, August 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) How many people do you know who can swing a ten-foot axe with one arm? Exactly. Jedimasterlink (talk) 01:14, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

 * 10) I like both but Nabooru just seemed like a better character. And pretty much what AK said about Byrne. Darax King Dodongo.png
 * 11) Having yet to play Spirit Tracks, I'm not all that familiar with Byrne. So, I'm gonna side with my sage on this one. --SheikahPhilosopher (talk) 14:05, August 16, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Nabooru all the way. Byrne was just a side kick; Nabooru was the Sage of Spirit. I'll go with the one that was captured by the best bosses in OoT.
 * 2) idk who byrne is and idc.
 * 3) I gotta start out with that, Nabooru is much more fun to say then Byrne. Next, Nabooru is a sage. And last but not least, the iron knuckle fight (where Nabooru was the Iron Knuckle) was just plain fun, where as, I didn't really enjoy the Byrne fight.
 * 4) Don't get me wrong here. Byrne's awesome, but Nabooru is insanely hot!
 * 5) I like Byrne better, but he probably couldn't beat Nabooru. She's a SAGE for crying out loud! Plus, the Iron Knucke battle was, like, epic.
 * 6) Nabooru is awesome! Plus, she's the Spirit Temple's sage, and that was by far my favourite temple.
 * 7) redheads rule! lol. but serioulsy? nabooru hands down. *evil horns*
 * 8) Weeell... Who the h3ll is this 'Byrne' guy? xD And nabooru is a non-evil Gerudo! And... Gerudos pwn all. (except Zoras... maybe. <.< >.> )
 * 9) Shes the sage of spirit how could you go wrong, and shes the only sage you can fight. So take that Bryne. (thou you are so really cool)
 * 10) Nabooru is a butt kicking gerudo. Plus who dosen't love gerudos! WOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GOOOOOOOOOOO NNNNAAAABBBBOOOORRRRUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 * 11) Nabooru all the way!
 * 12) Nabooru is a) the leader of a group of female thieves, b) a sage, plus she tried to defy Gannon, and she's just awesomeness, okay?
 * 13) nabooru is a gerudo and cool
 * 14) Gotta Love her
 * 15) I do hope your kidding right?, Nabooru versus Byrne?!, Mabooru was an awesome sage from the most popular game in the franchise and Byrne is from Spirit Tracks... This one is obvious.

I don't know half of you half as well as I should like, and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve. Oops, what? Anyway, yes, we do have a battle for you. Let's meet our monstrous creatures in the ring.

In the grey corner are beasts who dwell in the ominous twilight. Once sentient beings, they were corrupted by the evil of the twilight and turned into raging, thoughtless beasts. They rarely attack outside of groups and have the ability to revive their fallen brethren, if they are not all destroyed in one fell swoop, with their soul-piercing shrieks. THEY. ARE. THE SHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADOW BEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAASTS!!!

In the blue corner are a group of reanimated skeletons found in the dark areas of the world. Once, they were being such as you and I, but after becoming lost in the maze of the Lost Woods, they were transformed into powerful eldritch creatures of evil. They often attack in groups, and often require the use of objects other than a sword to be fully defeated; if not defeated quickly enough, they are occasionally brought back to "life". THEY. ARE. STAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALFOS!!!

I regret to announce — this is The End. I am going now. I bid you all a very fond farewell. ...Okay, now that that contrived reference to a legendary fantasy novel series is Over_With, LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!!!

Votes for Shadow Beast

 * 1) I like the Shadow Beasts. They're cool and shadowy. I know, poor choice of adjectives. <font color="#663300">T <font color="#996600">h <font color="#CC6600">e Midna Laughing.png ™  00:09, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I vote for the Shadow Beasts. Stalfos are easy to kill. All you have to do is slash after you blocked their attack. On the other hand, with Shadow Beasts, you have to round them all up and then kill them. The move at their own pace and if you mess up, you suffer the shreek of pain! Metroidman94 (talk)

 * 13) I hate Stalfos, they're just stupid. And in windwaker if there's more then one then it's just hectic. I like Shadow Beasts better anyways cause they look cool. They remind me of Heartless from Kingdom Hearts as well. And i don't understand why everyone keeps saying Stalfos was a challenge to beat. I hit them with my boomerang a couple times, stabbed em and hit the head like twice. Pretty easy to me. ~xgangsterxninjax

 * 1) Shadow  beasts are much more fun to fight.
 * 2) Shadow beats are way cooler.
 * 3) Shadow Beasts are fun to fight, and they're more special since they only appear in one game. Besides, I got stuck in the shadow temple in OOT- A Stalfos kept knocking me off the edge...
 * 4) I really desliked the Stalfos in OoT when I was younger, 'cause I could never beat them. I also failed hard at their WW versions. And the Stalfos that only die by a bomb explosion are the dullest ones.. I only liked MC Stalfos.. Shadow Beasts are much more fun to fight, especially with Midna's help..
 * 5) As much as I would love for the Stalfos to win here; this is a "who would win" deal. And since Stalfos don't have the Spin Attack, nor do they have the awesome power of Midna's... Hairdo... The Shadow Beasts would just come back to life every time, and eventually get in enough lucky shots to take the Stalfos down, slowly but surely.
 * 6) I love Shadow Beasts, because you get to show Iza how cool you are AND you get a FREE BOMB BAG!!! :)  Plus, Stalfos are just plain creepy and if you're out of bombs, you're out of life. They're also in my least favorite dungeon- Arbiter's Grounds. BLEAH!!! Also, Shadow Beasts are Midna's people, and the Twili are SOO COOL! So Shadow Beasts get my vote (even though it looks like we aren't going to win)
 * 7) The shadow beasts can't die, they will call eachother back.
 * 8) Stalfos are to easy to kill, the shadow beasts actually pose a challenge.
 * 9) I vote for shadow beasts because I think Stalfos are to easy to beat.
 * 10) Shadow beasts are cool.
 * 11) Shadow Beasts can call each other back to life. I doubt a Stalfos could learn how to do a spin attack!

Votes for Stalfos

 * 1) Shadow Beasts are pushovers. The whole group defeat thing was a cute trick, but these are freakin' Stalfos we're talking about. During my first playthrough of Ocarina of Time, I was going completely crazy with anxiety as I was trying to make my way down the collapsing Fortress of Barad-Dur before the timer expired. And then, of course, who would appear but my dreaded enemies, the Stalfos? I could not seem to defeat those dudes. I eventually made it out just two seconds before the timer expired. Now that embarrassing memory will haunt me forever. Yeah, did the Shadow Beasts ever amount to a challenge that's even 1/1338 of that? No. Besides, they're (re)animated skeletons with swords, what more could you want? --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  23:21, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Would have to go with AK here..I remember first seeing these in the Forest Temple on OoT and being completely freaked out by them...ahhh, good times.  Besides, the battle with the shadow beasts was just minorly annoying but over all quite easy.  When it comes to Stalfos its an all out intense battle of awesomeness!!--UnendingForestGlade (talk) 23:49, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) I'd rather not say how many times it took to beat the reanimating Stalfos in the Forest Temple. I don't remember, anyway. What I do remember is the immense satisfaction I felt upon beating them. Jedimasterlink (talk) 00:46, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Shadow Beasts are sort of cool, but Stalfos are just better in every way. The "beat them all at once" concept was interesting at first, but it got old real fast. Stalfos, on the other hand, are always fun to fight, and while they're pushovers for me nowadays, back when I first played OoT (when I was five or six or thirty-eight or something...I forget the specifics) they were the perfect difficulty for me. There's something that's just more fun about the pressure of killing the second one within the time limit than having to group a bunch of enemies together to pull some contrived ninja wolf move that seems like it was created around the concept of the fight when really it should be the other way around.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  01:34, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Yeah, the Shadow Messengers are pretty cool, and hacking them down is fun, but only because they go down so easily.  Stalfos, however, are pretty much hardcore enemies even by themselves.  (Unless you hit them with a Ball-and-Chain, but whatevs...) Anyway, Stalfos are just friggin awesome on top of that.  Not to mention that part of the Shadow Temple in OoT with the giant boat and three jump down to fight you.  That screams "EPIC!"  AnonymousNayru
 * 4) When Shadow Beasts were top-design, they were just too easy, when these skeleton guys actually were a challenge in most of their appearances. Win. |<font color="#003333">lun <font color="#336666">ar|<font color="#336666">Ch <font color="#003333">ild 13:12, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

 * 17) I obviously go for Stalfos because I liked them alot in Ocarina of Time and they were much scarier, besides that fighting Shadow Beasts can be buggy at times when using Midna's power will catch them all but miss one of the monsters or when I was walking behind that building from the afro girl near Zora's Domain as a human and those things attacked me and made it impossible to transform.Mido did what?!

 * 21) Shadow Beasts are just too fragile. I can kill them with the Ordon Sword in my sleep. Stalfos are actually a challenge, especially in the Past Spirit Temple in OoT. They are a better enemy from a gameplay standpoint, too. Corfid Bizna
 * 22) Stalfos are fun to defeat and were personally my first favorite monster to destroy in the Forest Temple. The Shadow Beasts were far from fun, but more of an annoyance. OoT Freak

 * 1) Stalfos. When I hear that name, I think of the battle at Ganon's collapsing tower and the battle on the boat in the shadow temple. I loved making them fall of the boat. Best day of my life.
 * 2) The Stalfos are so kind in OoT that, when you are Z-targeting its buddy, it justs waits for you to finish him off!
 * 3) Stalfos were here first, whereas any kind of shadow enemy is just plain annoying. I hate that roar, but escaping Ganon's Castle with a time limit...fighting Stalfos...was epic.
 * 4) I gotta go with stalfos.
 * 5) Stalfos is just too awesome, shadow beast is so easy. All you do is round them up and do an area attack with midna.
 * 6) Stalfos are so cool.
 * 7) Stalfos are AWESOME! They pwned me the first time I played. Shadow Beasts are just... odd...
 * 8) I'm actually very torn on this one. I would have to say that I'm siding with the Stalfos only because they're a bit harder to kill.
 * 9) stalfos are more classic.they appeared in a lot more games.(and they were easier to beat)
 * 10) I like undead things because they're undead and they're things.
 * 11) Shadow Beasts are very strange, considering they make a demonic scream whenever you slash at them. Stalfos, on the other hand, are the best classic enemies next to darknuts!
 * 12) Would I pick the losing side?
 * 13) Staflos are Wayyyyyyyy cooler.
 * 14) Stalfos are better enemies and are wayy more fun to fight, such a great classic zelda enemy :D
 * 15) Stalfos are some of my favorite enemies, combat-wise. The Shadow Beast fights become as routine as tilting the control stick, but Stalfos... they can't be described. Besides, even when you've defeated all the Shadow Beasts, you can keep entering and exiting one room just to fight Stalfos. Besides, you can push them off the edge in two rooms. Is the awesome or what? Besides, they've been there from the first game. Shadow Beasts have been in one game. Ha!
 * 16) Stalfos are the best and they are more traditional, what more is there to say?
 * 17) Stalfos why? because they can recover on their own while the Shadow Beasts rely on one another to revive them.(Plus their cooler)
 * 18) Shadow Beasts are okay but the real mony goes to stalfos for being one of the most famous enemys of legend of zelda the first being the like like second are the ReDead
 * 19) I like Stalfos more...Shadow Beasts are just annoying.
 * 20) Stalfos are fun and cool to battle, as for shadow beasts i can't say the same...

Anonymous vote 2 for Stalfos is funny. AnonymousNayru

Yeah it is and who did the intro cuz I don't see one. Tabs34

Shadow Beasts are cool,except for the fact that it's hard to defeat them without Midna. Stalfos is REALLY scary to me! I always get chills when I know there's one around the corner... How do you choose?? -Werewolf

Shadow beasts are easy, stalfos are annoing in most games incredily hard in OoT and down right freaky in TP, has anyone noticed that when there is that mutipule incarnations of someting most people usully comments only on the one in the picture new sig-- Reinca  rnation  20:55, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * That is actually exactly the opposite of what "most" people do. You see, in this case we are referring mostly to the OoT Stalfos, because one of the similarities between the two combatants is that they can revive each other, something that Stalfos in most of their appearances cannot do. If anybody referred to a different type of Stalfos, it would be, while not technically wrong, somewhat weird and not following the intent of the fight. Of course, it would seem quite weird to actually put Stalfos (Ocarina of Time) in the ToC title, so it's sort of to be expected, especially due to the sparsely descriptive intro. The same thing happened with Hide 'N' Seek Fairies vs. Skull Kid; it was intended to be the TP Skull Kid and the similarity was their games of hide-and-seek (or hide 'n' seek, whatever), but many people voted for Skull Kid because they liked the appearance from MM.

Stalfos > mutated twili. Stalfos are more of a challenge.--Link in Termina (talk) 01:49, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Did you really just call the Stalfos mutated Twili?! Nope. That sign is a comparison symbol. For example: 3 > 1, or 6 < 8. I said in that sentence, that Stalfos are better than mutated Twili. Because Shadow beasts are Twili, that are controlled and mutated by Zant. Or at least that's how I understand it.--Link in Termina 20:25, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, ok. I'm just clueless.
