In the red corner stands perhaps the fastest man in all of Hyrule. Running a lonely race, he delivers letters within minutes of their writing, can recognize his clients anywhere, and is brave enough to cross monster-infested fields: It's THE POSTMAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

And, in the blue corner, flies the Great Sea's most dedicated postman. He can deliver letters to all of the islands in the sea within a day, personally helps his clients when they need it, and will brave even the harshest of storms: It's QUIIIIIIIIIIIIILL!

Two of the best mailmen in the world going head to head in the fastest bount you've ever seen! Will you be able to keep up? Who will win? That, my dear voters is up to you! I can't hold it in any longer, so LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE! Yeah!

Votes for Postman

 * 1) I go for the postman,I like his face,I know that he looks like an idiot in Twilight princess but still,Quill looks almost angry all the time. --user: Fierce Deity Einar
 * 2) This guy just makes my day every time he shows up, with his strangely accurate hummings of various chimes in the series and of course, HEH, HOO, HEH, HOO! -- Bek   (talk)  02:05, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) This dude creeps me out with his constant creepy exertions of "Ya". I mean, is he related to Wakka or something? If only the postmen of our world were as dedicated as this guy, perhaps I'd get my mail order items on time. Also, he's likely to go "Postal" on that feathery dude over there. -- Auron  Kaizer ( ...Kaizer! ) 03:44, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) When you hear those tapping sounds on Majora's Mask and that catchy tune on Twilight Princess (and of course: MR. LINK WAAAAAAIIT!!!), It gives you a smile and calms you down from when you had a boss fight shortly before and you swinged your sword a lot. this guy gets my definitive vote!  Hevehoc 07:14, 6 April 2009 (CET)
 * 5) The ones from Twilight Princess and The Minish Cap are ok, but the one I'm really voting for is the one from Majora's Mask. Such a tragic story, yet not overly sappy. Also, as a kid I liked the noises he made as he walked...don't ask me why, as I'm not quite sure myself.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  06:15, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) This guy is just EVERYWHERE, he turns up just when I least expect it and in the most unlikely of places.--Gbadude3sd 08:13, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) My vote is going for Postman. He's such a crazy character and somewhat of a stalker as well. I love stalkers! But seriously...It made my day having him running around all the time with his cute little hat, too busy to talk to me, yet not busy enough to follow me around as my personal answering machine service. Katamariqueen 14:34, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) Postman definately gets my vote. He's so dedicated to his work, he would fall off a cliff! He makes me smile with his little tunes. Plus, who else is brave enough to run around in their undies?Mrs.MikauShadLink 15:21, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 9) Postman because he ACTUALLY GIVES ME MAIL like he should, also because for some reason I am addicted to him saying "ya!" lol Darkest-Link123 15:25, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 10) I'll vote for the Postman because it's amazing how a monster hasn't killed him yet and he can recognize Link even when he's a wolf. Oddball464 10:29, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 11) well guys, i know i would vote for Quill, but this guy is MUCH better! plus, i always enjoyed running away from this guy and finding out his secret hideouts. the only thing Quill actually did was save Link from ganondorf, even though Link could have probably handled it himself. plus, even Ganondorf would be scared of this guy because of his constant stalking, staring, and an IQ probably with such a big number Einstein would probably be rolling around in his grave in a desperate attempt to break out so he can win the next intelligence show(or whatever you call those things when you quiz someone on their IQ knowledge), which would mean the postman could find a way around Ganondorf, and probably stare at him until Ganondorf backs away, goes too far, and falls off a cliff, or he would probably just sneak a bomb into Ganon's tower and kill him, because note that a SWORD made the Triforce of Power ditch Ganondorf and left him to die. And how else did he find out where Link is every month, every year, every minute, and anytime? And even how did he even get down the the savage labyrinth without a scar, or getting onto that part of the broken bridge in the beginning of Plumm's balloon popping game? Plus, yes i know it is not true, but how else did Hyrule Castle explode in Twilight princess?(wow i talk a lot -_-)--Shade Link 19:37, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 12) Postman..... ummm, well I think everythings been said about him, but he still gets my vote. User: Hyperwire
 * 13) HE. IS. SUPER-POWERFUL. I mean, really, you think he got through 45 floors of increasingly difficult monsters with, what, a sandwich or something!? Honestly. He's, like,        The mailman. 'nuff said. --Dekutulla 21:08, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 14) While the postman was annoying, he gets my vote because I hate Rito and think they look stupid. I als thought Twillight Princess was a better game than Wind Waker, but that is just my opinion.-BulbinSlayer
 * 15) This guy can reach the bottom floor of the Cave of Ordeals without a scratch on him. He gets my vote. MaloMart
 * 16) HEEEEEEEEEEY! Dude, the Postman is just awesome! I grin every time I see him - and he can get through the Cave of Ordeals. The Postman. In the Cave of Ordeals. That. Is. Badass. --Ryttu3k 07:13, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 17) I'm not so crazy about TP Postman (his constant interruptions started getting annoying after while) but MM Postman is hilarious and also doesn't interfere with Link at all... you interfere with him. "Ah a gigantic hunk of rock is going to crush me and all of Termina in a fiery explosion and the only logical thing is to leave town. But I can't because the post scheduele is the most important thing to me despite the fact it's a normal job and I could just easily quit if I wanted to." I know those aren't the exact words but classic. --Big Poe=Nice Guy 11:23, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 18) I was going to vote for Quill, but then I realized I was only doing it because he was in Wind Waker... and then I remembered that he made me sit through long and boring conversations with the Ritos, one of the things that annoyed me about the game- and the fact that Postman made it through the Cave of Ordeals is enough to make me vote for him.   Portal-  Kombat
 * 19) This is an obvious win for the Postman. He runs. He can deliver letters. Most important of all, he is a mighty warrior who is capable of powerful magic. How else would he be able to get to the bottom of the Cave of Ordeals? How else would he be able to recognize Wolf Link (try that one - it's freaky how he knows)?  Vaati ( Talk to Vaat) 22:52, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 20) Definitely the Postman, he's been in more games and is a constant as far as mail goes in several of the games. Hero of Time 87 03:39, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 21) A bit odd sure, but he does have positives. 1.  A pretty cool hat. 2. more notable than quill. 3. in more games than quill.  sorry guys but goin' for the postman.  Also it is good to be back. Dialask77  Ice Wizard  Ice Sorceror.png 00:06, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 22) Many people say the Postman is annoying, but that's what makes him so funny. He definitely beats the chicken on the other side. Bkarcher97
 * 23) "I have come to deliver a letter!" User:SOLDIER1stJ
 * 24) Don't get any worse than a creepy old man in short shorts.—Triforce4.png Triforce   14 ( ... ) 19:44, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 25) love this guy!!!Zeldamaniac95
 * 26) Postman all the way, I love how in his first letter to you he tells you not to flee when you see him...I have only succeeded in fleeing once.Nayru goddess

Votes for Quill

 * 1) Sorry, Postman, you may be funny, but Quill got me out of a mess with Gannondorf, helped a lot more, and is much braver than you. Sincerely, Watcher
 * 2) I'd go with Quill, the postman just scares me, and Quill is a Rito anyway, they're cooler than most of the normal, average, slightly boring Hylian commoners. User: Iriadinh, Hero of Air
 * 3) Not particularly fond of either of them but i did like Quil better. he flew through a storm just to tell link something that was obvious. Oni  Dark   Link 09:20, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Quill saves your life, he deosn't get on my nerves, and I'm not digging the short shorts. --EveryDayJoe45 18:38, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) Unfair battle! The postman appears in several games and Quill appears only in Wind Waker. Anyways, Quill does help you in the game and he is brave. Snakeboss14
 * 6) Quill can fly! Hes not annoying or ugly. Hes brave. He lives with a dragon for goodness sakes. He able to fly's through a storm. And another thing: HE IS NECESSARY FOR THE GAME. Need I go on?
 * 7) He saved by unworthy ass.  So now I vote for him.  We're even.   Metroidhunter32  21:32, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) Well, to be honest, the other postman frightens me. Quill goes beyond his job to help Link out on many occassions. Sorry, postman, maybe next time. Daydreamer3173
 * 9) Quill is an awesome character who saves you and can fly. The Postman runs around,hides in the barn to read other peoples letters, and ummm... runs around. I think the choice is clear. Also,don't fight over it please, but I think the Postman was the freakiest character in the whole series besides Tingle (*shudders*). Turtleman579
 * 10) Quill is awesome. He's a great character, he actually helps you in Wind Waker, and he can fly. The Postman? I hate him. In my opinion, he's one of the most annoying characters in the entire series! Sir Real
 * 11) Awesome character. He can fly. And he plays a more substancial role in the plot! GO QUILL! --Freedle 16:19, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Anonymous votes

 * 1) I always liked Quill. He looks so much cooler then that postman guy. Quill saves your live several times and he can fly. That postman-dude is already exhausted after a short run. He looks so fragile compared to Quill
 * 2) We have some guy with a flag on his back v.s. a bird man, who do you think is cooler? From, Midna Rocks
 * 3) I HATE the postman. Enough said.
 * 4) Quill would be a lot stronger
 * 5) Quill has more significance story wise than the postman who's just plain irritating
 * 6) the postman is S-T-U-P-I-D! quill actually HELPS you, postman just gets in the way. :|
 * 7) Quill acualy has a more important role in the storyline and HE CAN FLY!!!!!.:)
 * 8) Quill's just a pimp.
 * 9) quill has more of a personality and has good morals, postman just does whatever the fuck he wants to

Peanut Gallery
Can't believe the Zelda II vs. Water Temple fight didn't go through. This is somewhat of a letdown. -- Auron  Kaizer ( ...Kaizer! ) 03:44, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I can't believe Chudly vs. Cannon didn't make it... Dark Ridley 04:31, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

This past week was the closest I have ever seen. Postman vs. Quill, Chudley vs. Cannon, Water Temple vs. Zelda II, and Guru-Guru vs Composer Brothers all had a chance of winning. This one had +5. The other three had +4. --EveryDayJoe45 04:39, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh, guess that's a good reason for those who suggested them to re-suggest them in a while. -- Auron  Kaizer ( ...Kaizer! ) 04:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

out of all the above this is probly the one i wanted to go through the least. although i didnt oppose it i think. maybe i should of. a well too late now. Oni Dark   Link 09:22, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You did oppose it. You were the only one. --EveryDayJoe45 18:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Bulbin Slayer, you posted your vote benath the BIG, HUGE, OBVIOUS line. You are the weakest link. Goodbye. --Dekutulla 21:11, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

ONCE MORE! WHY is it called the peanut gallery?? --Dekutulla 21:11, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

I had considered voting an oppose on this one just so it was a four way tie but I decided that that would not be cool.  Metroidhunter32  21:31, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

This is a PRE-note: Please ignore Bulbin-Slayers vote! He didn't mean it! Mrs.MikauShadLink 22:43, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * How would you know that? Anyway...NOW IT'S AWN PREGNANT DOG! FOO! --Auron  Kaizer !  00:51, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Dekutulla, this is called the peanut galery because many events have crowds of people watching them, moat people here come here every few days and this is where we coment and argue about pretty much anything (usually it has some thing to do with the current pole) get it? From, Midna Rocks
 * Actually, a "peanut gallery" is, and I quote WP (the bastards!): "A peanut gallery is an audience that heckles the performer. The term originated in the days of vaudeville as a nickname for the cheapest (and ostensibly rowdiest) seats in the theater; the cheapest snack served at the theater would often be peanuts, which the patrons would sometimes throw at the performers on stage to show their disapproval. The phrases "no comments from the peanut gallery" or "quiet in the peanut gallery" are extensions of the name." Today's history lesson. --Auron  Kaizer !  03:34, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

...Ack. My connection's being buggy - if a second vote from me appears, someone delete it? I've got to go, or I'd do it myself. Sorry! --Ryttu3k 07:37, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

i know its not my place to tell an admin this but... auron keep it clean (yes i stole your line again) Oni Dark   Link 13:35, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

To AuronKaizer; I just didn't want a WW vs. TP fight to break out because of BulbinSlayer's vote. Mrs.MikauShadLink 22:38, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

wow, this was a quick fight. i am sure i know who is gonna win this game eh? you seem to be in a happy mood this week AK. ^_^ once again, great humor!--Shade Link 17:32, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Wow. Okay... You know, it makes ya wonder...were those salted peanuts? And if they were, did the audience suck the salt off before they threw the peanuts? Hm..... (The philosophizer of strange subjects, --Dekutulla 23:31, 8 April 2009 (UTC))

Hmmm. As of know, Postman has double the user votes Quill has, whereas Quill has twice as many anonymous votes to the postman's. Interesting turn of events. --Dekutulla 17:51, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Heh, the personality-less unregistered masses for the participant lacking personality? Cool beans. --Auron  Kaizer !  22:18, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Um, how many of you guys warrant the deletion of the anonymous vote for Postman?  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  00:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Delete it. I was going to do it myself but it looked like some other votes were removed in the process, which doesn't make sense if they all voted for the same thing so I was stopped by confusion.  Metroidhunter32  01:20, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Wait, why?--Dekutulla 13:35, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Feel free to check the history to see what was removed; beware though, it's offensive. Hence why it was removed. --Auron  Kaizer !  13:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
 * wow it really was very offense Oni Dark Link 17:42, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
