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.

This week, we have a fight between two men, WHO BOTH HAVE MUSTACHES who give Link something and get harmed in a way.

In the pale green/teal/whatever-you-want-to-call-it corner, we have a man with a bushier mustache than the next one. He entrusts a sword and shield to use for defense to his nephew after being mortally wounded. THIS. IS. LIIIIIIINNNNNNNK'S UUUUUUUUNNNNNNNCLE!!!

And in the rusted sword colored corner, we have a man who enjoys flying by Golden Cucco. Gets injured by a large warrior pig thing. And has a son! THIS. IS. RUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSL!!!

So while we wait for this template to update itself, let's watch as these two mustached men battle it to the death... or at least till one gets injured... again. LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRREAAAAAAAADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!!

Votes for Link's Uncle

 * 1) I like both of them and I think Rusl is going to win, so I might as well go here and give Link's Uncle a boost. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 23:28, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) He has moar mustache power. Rusl's so ashamed of his failure of a mustache that he tries to hide it with a helmet he no doubt made from a bucket. Also, something about Link's Uncle's death had an impact on me. Dying in a dark hallway is probably not the way I wanna go >.> --Auron  Kaizer !  23:32, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) The power to cheat death is one only one has achieved...I think we've uncovered the true identity of Darth Plagueis. Jedimasterlink (talk) 23:35, November 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I'd look awesome in his mustache despite the fact that I am 13.  Bb2 Guru-Guru_(Oracle_of_Seasons).gif
 * 5) I just never liked Rusl at all. I mean, he was even more boring and sterile than the guy over here that gets like three minutes of screen time.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  01:09, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Rusl always annoyed me for no readily apparent reason. - Is  drak  thül  01:55, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Meep Meep Meep (talk) 02:45, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) You go, Uncle! --Ricorum (talk) 02:53, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Though I like Rusl and he gets much more screen time, I found myself voting for Link's Uncle. Both were trying to save their homeland, but Link's Uncle actually dies in the process. He also gives Link his sword/shield/spin attack, whereas whenever Rusl helps, it's sort of unnecessary. He lets you use his Golden Cucoo, which is only necessary because Midna is inexplicably not helping you jump across the chasm anymore. It's really cool how the resistance comes to your aid in the end, but I totally could have taken all those guys myself and would have felt awesome doing it. Also Link's Uncle's resurrection is part of the most impressive use of the Triforce ever. As many ghosts as there are, people do not come back to life often in Zelda.--Fierce Deku (talk) 03:45, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) The Zelda series has few death scenes but when they do them I reckon they pull it off quite well. That and he comes across as a generally cool character during his forty six seconds of screen time dedicated to him. Hooray for the first Zelda character to ever die and the creator of the Spin Attack! Oni Dark Link 21:40, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) This guy's classic. He made for a memorable sequence during his short time in the series. Portal-  Kombat
 * 12) I just like Link's Uncle better (sorry Rusl!). Rusl's cool and all, but Link's Uncle is Link's only family. Corfid Bizna (talk)
 * 13) While Rusl is definitely a more prominent character, I've got to go with Link's Uncle on this one. I mean, Rusl is a mildly trained swordsman from a sleepy goat herding town outside on the edge of Hyrule. But Link's Uncle, like the relevant incarnation of Link, is one of the last descendants of the legendary knights of Hyrule of old, who protected the Seven Sages. I'm sorry, but in this fight, Rusl must cry "Uncle." (talk)
 * 14) Believe it or not, Link's Uncle is the uncle of Link. T h e Midna Laughing.png ™  03:53, November 14, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Well, I like both of them, but Link's Uncle's death gave you an actual purpose other than saving Zelda. I've never played LttP, but I've read the manga and it's probably my favorite.
 * 2) Duh look at that mustache! Besides, somehow I do not really like Rusl, probably because he is Twilight Princess and those often win because people know them better..
 * 3) I was more afraid for him in his "injury" than when Rusl was injured. Also, Rusl was a jerk. Spending time at a bar while his wife was dealing with a baby alone and his son was sick in a bed.

 * 3) I can't believe he isn't pwning.--Hylian potato (talk) 01:01, November 8, 2010 (UTC)hylian potato

 * 6) The shape of his nose entertains me...8D ~Xion XIV ★  Talk !!!  00:14, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Rusl was one of my favorite characters in TP. Not to mention he is a member of the resistance, summons Hawks, and best of all... has a GOLDEN CUCCO.--Hylianhero777 (talk) 17:04, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) I think he is a much more interesting character than Link's Uncle. Black   Dragon   Laguz  04:55, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

 * 12) i vote for rusl mainly bcause he had a better part in the games unlike links uncle who after the first 5 min DIES. GO RUSL

Anonymous votes

 * 1) RUSL FTW! and also first anonymous comment ;)


 * 1) I don't know about you guys, but I simply prefer Rusl. Plus Link's Uncle's picture kind of scares me just a little. ^_^
 * 2) I like Rusl a heck of a lot more than Link's "Uncle"(I'm not really sure if he really IS Link's uncle =|) Rusl actually helps you out in TP, the other guy just propels the storyline. besides, Rusl and the other resistance Guys (and Girl) help Link in the final dungeon (I refuse to use the word "save". Link DID NOT need rescuing or anything like that >:|)
 * 3) Rusl doesn't die. end of story
 * 4) He's cool!

Another fight with an early lead that I suspect to turn around soon. If Rusl does lose, I will be shocked. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 02:49, November 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * With only the weekend left, it's tied. I'm (pleasantly) surprised it took so long for Rusl's votes to catch up. Jedimasterlink (talk) 05:04, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

But whose "poetry of the soul" will reign victorious tonight, in this Clay Fight (I'm sorry, I really am.)? We request that the audience be quiet, as there are artistes on stage. Now let's review the storied history of these two.

In the pale green corner, we have the master pig-man(?) sculptor of the Great Sea, whose works include a collection of miniature figurines depicting (potentially) every living creature known to reside in the greater Great Sea area. Using only colored Pictographs as a reference, he is able to perfectly recreate pretty much anything or anyone, all the while working in only his underpants. THIS. IS. CAAAAAAAAAAAAARLOOOOOOOOOOOV!!!

In the light red corner is a man considered the best sculptor and painter on Koholint Island who happens to be an anthropomorphic crocodile. His masterpiece, The Mourning Mermaid, hides the entrance to a cave wherein the mystical Magnifying Lens is found. His brother is Sale, collector of canned goods. At the time of the hero's arrival in his studio in Animal Village, he has moved onto painting nude models (the extent of whose nudity depends on the origin of one's copy of the game) in daring post-expressionist style. THIS. IS. SCHUUUUUUUUUUUULE DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONAVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITCH!!!

So, whose "poetry of the..." What? I already did this part? Well crap, I'm all out of art-based puns... hey, look over there! *runs to safety* LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO CRUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!! Err, rumble. Yes.

Votes for Carlov

 * 1) I've played WW.  Plus, this is a double pity vote.  He has no votes, and the audience gets to watch two artists compete, with this guy in his underwear.  Pity for us, pity for him.  Pity, pity.  AnonymousNayru
 * 2) this guy is pure awesome, he make figures IN HIS PANTS! how cool is that he also know everything about everyone so that should count as 2 votes Octorok (The Minish Cap).gif D m e r k a GU 10 Octorok (The Minish Cap).gif 08:59, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I was thinking about going with Schule, but I'll vote instead for the guy who likes his privacy and likes doing things in his underwear. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 13:14, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Well, he does make some cool statues. How does he get those to float?-- Phantom   Zelda   ?!  
 * 5) I've spent a lot more time hanging out with Carlov. For some reason, I can't imagine why, Schule has always been quite rude to me. Carlov on the other hand welcomed me in with open arms that we're so inviting I just had to return again and again and again until the world was barren of mysterious shells and a picture had been taken for everything imaginable Oni Dark  Link 16:22, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Is it wrong to just say "I like this guy better" with no good reason?--Hylianhero777 (talk) 19:23, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Hurrah! I'm filled with inspiration...to vote for this guy.   ~''' RavensMill '
 * 8) I can't bring myself to appreciate Schule's taste in...subjects. Besides, Carlov can sculpt a perfectly scaled figurine in a day. That takes serious skill. Doesn't mean he's not annoying, but whatever. Jedimasterlink (talk) 22:12, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) This guy had a real USE so... yea.  By the way, when does the other guy say he paints nude people?  Nothing about that on his page --Hydropanda (talk) 22:46, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) Figurines AMAZE me. His figurines are AMAZING for LINK. Amazing  Link Link Artwork 1 (Ocarina of Time).png 15:23, November 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) I was seriously impressed with the amount of detail that went into this one hidden sidequest, courtesy of the man himself, Carlov. Portal-  Kombat
 * 12) I think his desription is reason enough to vote: Pictures, underpants, great sea, potential, you get the idea. ~Jioplip
 * 13) I still haven't found this guy in The Wind Waker yet, but since I like the game so much (and I have no idea who the other guy is) my vote goes to Carlov. Black   Dragon   Laguz  12:25, November 3, 2010 (UTC)

 * 15) Nintendo Gallery is the best. So Carlov gets my vote.--Ingo the great (talk) 23:04, November 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) At first I hated how much time it took for his side-quest, but looking back I actually found and did a lot of cool stuff doing it. If real life was like the Wind Waker, I would be a photographer... or a bird-pirate-photografer because frankly anything is possible in a zelda game.Njh117 (talk)

 * 1) Carlov is pretty cool.  His figures are informing and funny at the same time!  Picture is weird though...
 * 2) I actually kinda liked his figurine side-quest.. No I didn't like it, I loved it.. I loved to see that every picture he worked on turned into a figurine. It looked so awesome!
 * 3) Well, I've never played the other game, and anyways, Carlov isn't a whore...
 * 4) His side quest was my favorite in the game.
 * 5) He's just...awesome. There's definitely something special about walking into a room that's full of figurines.

 * 1) Everything about this guy reeks of badassness. Looking at the female form and making art (so, basically, you're making art of art, making some sort of Super-Art!) of it is a kickass pursuit in life. From his (vaguely French? German? Tay Zonday?) accent to his holier-than-thou attitude towards those lacking in the cognitive parts of the brain that makes us appreciate art fully, you know this guy gets up to some pretty wacky vernissages. He's got a great work ethic too, sticking to his artistic pride, come beautiful mermaids or laughably "gifted" hippos. I've got little to nothing to say about Carlov other than the fact that he's a disturbing creep. Look at him, over there. Holding a disturbing figurine of another creep. Creepy.

 * 1) It's been a while since I played LA, but this guy apparently made the statue from the end of the big item trade, plus he's a painting alligator. On the other hand, there's the sculptor guy. I went to all this trouble to glide to his little island just to find out I couldn't do anything there yet. Then I struggled with the annoying camera subquest and eventually gave up. And his Minish Cap equivalent is the jerk who made me listen to his explanation and sit through an extensive reveal EVERY SINGLE TIME I wanted to try for a figurine! Having the figurines and their information is cool, but it's just such a pain to get them. Also, why did this text tell me to make an anonymous vote?
 * 2) I love Link's Awakening! I have to give my vote to the awesome alligator from LA! Without him, I wouldn't have ever beat the game! You rock Schule Donavitch!
 * 3) Carlov, you don't get my vote because of how hard it was to take a picture of  that damn bird. (See last week's votes for King Bulblin.)
 * 4) This guy created a statue that has REAL MERMAID scales in it. Come On.

 * 7) King Bulblin never really interested me to begin with. Helmaroc King was just better: better music, better appearance, position in the story that did not dictate that he get defeated every single time he is met, an ounce of difficulty in his boss fight, more plot-central role.

 * 11) I don't know why, but I had something personal with this guy. He kidnapped your sister, and then he knocked you off the fortress (I think that was him I haven't played WW in a while). But those two things combined made it really satisfying to deafeat him.--Hylianhero777 (talk) 19:16, October 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) One of my favorite bosses in Zelda, because it looks cool and you got to do that whole "run up the flooding tower" thing. Portal-  Kombat
 * 13) To me King Bulbin was only cool in Super Smash Bros Brawl and not so much in his actual game. Bogu Guru-Guru_(Oracle_of_Seasons).gif
 * 14) Whilst King Bulblin had a bit of character, and a little intrigue, I found his lack of faith to be quite disturbing. Okay, bad jokes aside, he just failed to impress me as an antagonist. He's just so WEAK. The Helmaroc King didn't sit there and look at me while I hit it in the face. Well, not before the hammer. But still. Also - great fun, great music, awesome arena.

 * 1) Every time the Helmaroc King shows up, you know big, epic battle type stuff is going down, whereas by the third time you fight Bulblin, he's hardly a threat anymore. He's cool and all, but he's just not nearly as intimidating.
 * 2) I liked the fight against Helmaroc King, even though I was very afraid that I would fall into the water while running to the top of the tower. I never liked horseback fighting, so no votes for Bulbin.
 * 3) The Helmaroc King is somewhat dark but still has that legend of zelda feeling to him while Buldin just looks like a big green guy who rides a giant pig.
 * 4) ithink helmaroc king is totaly awesome and would defnetly beat bulbin in a fight
 * 5) Chubby green fatty freak vs B.A. bird thing yeah. guess who's gunna win. :-[
 * 6) Liked WW much better than TP.
 * 7) He looks like a Roc and they are sweet.
 * 8) For one reason: Helmaroc King is not vulnerable anywhere on his body but his face. King Bulblin is stuck to the ground, unable even to wield a bow. How does he expect to win against a flying enemy when he himself cannot fly or shoot?

Votes for King Bulblin

 * 1) They are pretty even, but I like his quote. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 19:39, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) This is a tough vote. I enjoyed both of their battles, but I think King Bulblin is a little more intriguing as a character. Jedimasterlink (talk) 19:59, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Man, I so want to vote for Helmaroc King, if only because Wind Waker is such a good game. But King Bulblin has a PHILOSOPHY! You think he's a violent minion through the entire game, and then he turns around, justifies what he's done, and acknowledges you as superior to Ganondorf. That alone took guts. So here's to a real, thinking person! CrazyReDead
 * 4) Never did like Helmaroc King much, even though you do get to smash its head. Never was a big fan of the mindless beastie servant, see. At least King BulbLin shows some manner of mental faculty, having the ability to speak and whatnot. There's not a big argument regarding which is the more useful servant though... Helmaroc King actually doesn't fail in his duties, but ah well. 'S not what matters. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  18:48, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Yay! First anonymos vote! Bulbin is like, invincible, for starters. He fell off like, every bridge in Hyrule and lived. He has a giant ax, and, frankly, he's smarter. He should have helped in the final battle, though. Helmaroc King is a giant idiotic bird with curly hair that dies the first time you actually fight him. I liked the fight with King Bulbin where he has the shield and you have to use the bow to defeat him. Wow, I made a long comment. :P
 * 2) I won the battle against the Helmaroc (No idea how to spell that out) on my first try without even knowing what was actualy happening. And this guy is just awesome, he rides on a giant boar, he has an axe and a cool helmet.
 * 3) I'm a Nintendo Gallery freak. Do you have any idea how hard it is to get a picture of that damn bird?
 * 4) He's a pig...that talks. How cool is that?

Helmaroc King's boss battle was fun! I liked running out of the flooding tower. Helmaroc king is also way more interesting than King Bulblin. Black  Dragon   Laguz  13:17, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

I won't get into this one; I love both of them for completely different reasons. --Ricorum (talk) 17:19, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
