Votes for Arrghus

 * 1) this boss fight was more challenging.  Barinade has four bari around it; this thing has at least 20 of those puffballs, though it feels like 50 when you actually play.  Oh, and it looks cooler. -- Moblin   Slayer  02:20, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) just giving some love to the creepy, one-eyed thing. - SageofWater

 * 1) Barinade is an awesome boss fight. Orefices and stuff like that make me queasy too. It's also the more difficult boss fight. Also, at least the name was somewhat imaginative >.> -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 00:10, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Some things just don't have to be explained.  By the way I love the fight introduction.   Metroidhunter32  00:44, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) This was a fun fight. I think I faced the other guy before, but I really enjoyed the fight with Barinade. User:dragonmaster kayla
 * 4) Barinade was harder, more fun, and cooler. NintendoGamer1124
 * 5) Nothing against Arrgus, he's not bad, but I liked Barinade way more. LapisScarab 02:04, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Barinade is awesome in so many ways, I don't know where to begin.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  02:42, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Even though I've never played a Link to the Past, I still thought Barinade was much cooler when I fought him. Blitz2121 21:12, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Simply better. - Leo Lab  00:35, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) I wish I could fight this guy with the Keaton Mask! Portal-  Kombat
 * 4) Here's how the fight would work. Arrghus would be unable to sever Barinade's connection to the ceiling, because he only has some clouds. Barinade, however, would be able to the Bari covering him to pull off and zap the clouds. Then, he would easily beat the nearly helpless Arrghus. Gorank 18:15, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) coolerZeldamaniac95
 * 6) now that i think about it, barinade does rock. Solar flute

 * 12) Barinade would beat the mess out of Arrghus! User:BetweenBlack&White
 * 13) It explodes into puss which is cooler and grosser than exploding into a puff of smoke. [[User:King Boo]

 * 15) Barinade's attacks are faster and more unpredictable, and he has a good defense. I'm gonna go with him. what10210
 * 16) Both boss fights were really easy, but Barinade was definitely the more difficult of the two, plus, everything in Ocarina of Time rocks.Bek The Conqueror 03:25, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 17) Harder fight. A bioelectrical anemone vs a jellyfish thing. wow. --Link vs dark link 01:49, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

 * 11) I totally hate this guy.. I was so frustrated during the battle. But since I beat him with a quarter of a heart left, I vote for him.

Who did the teple of courage this weak? The heang (set up like a wrestling match) is pretty cool...-- Moblin  Slayer  02:23, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * AuronKaizer. I don't think anyone other than an admin would have the audacity to change it that much.   Metroidhunter32  02:42, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * what do you mean only admin? I'm not an admin, and yet i've been changing it for quite some time. Solar flute

Sorry for being nitpicky, but since Mario and Zelda were both made by Nintendo, there wouldn't be any lawsuits (at least, that's how I think it works).  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  02:44, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That comment reminds me of that diet coke commercial where coke is trying to sue diet coke for flavor infringment. Can nintendo sue itself?  That is the question.   Metroidhunter32  03:00, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You'd be surprised. In these days of financial crises that abound the world, they could easily pull that off. And anyone can be bold, you know that. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 03:22, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Possibly, although it would probably be case dismissed. Solar flute

That would be rather stupid. You're right, they could pull that off, but it would be illogical in so many ways. Also, if they were going to sue themselves, they would be more likely to do it over all that Mario stuff in Link's Awakening (they even have a Kirby reference in there). By the way, if that comment about being "bold" was about me editing it myself, I don't really feel a need to. It doesn't make perfect sense, but it's still funny, and 90% of the people that read it probably won't really care about the technicalities of the issue.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  04:27, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It was really just a general comment. If anyone were to make a change like this to the Temple of Courage presentation, they would be free to. Of course, being an admin, with responsibility and all that, I would revert back to the old format if I did not like it. But it's not like any of my own edits cannot be contested, though. I'm just trying to break away from the norm and give the people who come here something new...in this case, lavish presentation with weird jokes. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 05:16, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

By you "not liking it", I'm going to assume that you don't simply mean that you yourself don't like it even though there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, and I will instead assume that you meant that to be a general statement meaning that there is actually something beyond your own personal taste. Again, I really don't have a problem with it, I'm just nitpicking as usual. I actually kind of like it. Makes it feel more user-friendly.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  08:01, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Long time no see, everybody! Don't worry, i'm only here to say hello. Oliver Platt 14:34, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hai dere, I thought you were gonna give us another story of the secret "Uber-Barinade" boss found in Ocarina of Time. Of course, to actually get there, you must have exactly 21 Rupees and 3 Deku Sticks. In the northern wall of Lake Hylia, press Z 500 times when you're close to the wall and you will wind up in the hidden Ice Dungeon, the hardest dungeon in any game ever. The reward for completing it and beating Uber-Barinade is a piece of virtual pie. Right? -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 15:40, 4 December2008 (UTC)

Ha! Thats funny. Not much to say here, Barinade looks like a winner allready. Barinade is probally better remembered. Also, i was gonna make a suggestion, but I cant seem to. Odd. Has Deku vs. Kokiri allready been suggested? King yoshi42 16:54, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

HOW did YOU know that, AK? I thought i was the only one! But please allow me to correct you. You must only press Z 499 times, or else it breaks. Oliver Platt 20:40, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Deku vs. Kokiri has already been suggested, but it doesn't really matter. A given suggestion can be suggested multiple times, just as long as it's not two weeks in a row.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  23:46, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey, AK, can you give me some strategies against the Uber-Barinade? I just can't seem to beat him, and the piece of virtual pie is all that's left for me to clear the game 100%. Oliver Platt 01:23, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, that's sort of the problem isn't it? I was stupid enough to press the Z-button 500 times instead of 499; now my controller is broken, my game is glitched with nude textures on Zelda and Anju and all my savegames have been erased. WHY??????? :( -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 01:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Barinade's core kind of looks like a peahat from space! Portal- Kombat

Guys, I thought we agreed to not encourage Platt. Before posting anything else, think carefully about what happened last week. We don't want a repeat, do we? Sincerelly, Watcher.
 * "We" didn't agree to anything. I don't really care either way, I find Platt's random crap rather funny in nature. Who are you, anyway? -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 02:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

The first time, I admit he was annoying. This time, though, it's been reduced to a small inside joke between Oliver Platt and AuronKaizer. If it really becomes annoying like last time, we may have to try to discourage him, but at this point, he's not doing anything wrong. I agree with AuronKaizer, though - who exactly are you? As I said before, if you're going to become a regular here, you may as well make an account.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  02:51, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess you're right. Platt isn't doing anything wrong, and this time around, it's kinda funny. I'm still watching him though. As for who I am, I'm just a fan of the series who doesn't know the ins and outs of becoming a member. Anyone willing to help? Sincerelly, Watcher.

In the top-right corner of any page, there should be 2 green boxes with words in them - Log in and Create an Account. Just click on Create an Account and fill out the information boxes given. It's shouldn't be difficult.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  03:31, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Before I do it, I just have to know. Would any of my personal private information become public? Sincerelly, Watcher.

The only personal information you must give out is your E-mail and your date of birth (there is a "Real name" box, but this is optional). As far as I know, your date of birth stays private to other users, if you're worried about that.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  04:07, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Good thing too. Once you give out even one single solitary slovo of personal information on the net, chances are you'll wake up in a prehistoric bathroom with your leg chained to a pipe. I'm just sayin'. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 04:16, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Guys, the boss doesn't want anything anymore... So i guess i'll just become a normal contributer, without all that mayhem stuff. If you don't want me here, though, just tell me. Oliver Platt 14:15, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Whoever suggestid this weeks fight is a genious. Two jellyfish fighting is just so cool.

Out of curiosity, when is the next "fight" going to be? Dialask77 20:59, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It was just changed...at least a week. Don't forget to suggest a fight or vote for another. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 01:47, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Guys, I've got a few things I want to say. First off the bat, Platt, I'm glad you've decided to renounce yourannoying mayhem making ways. I'm not entierly trusting of you yet, but I at least accept you. Second, the above unsigned comment is not me. I have no clue who it is, but it certanly is not Watcher. Finally, I have bad news for you. I consulted with my dad, and I am forbiden from signing up as a user. This was a bit of a blow to me, but I have an idea. Seeing as I act as a user already, I have a question: Is it possible for me to create a user page without officialy signing up? One last thing: Platt, I guess as long as you don't cause any more so called "mayhem", we may as well keep you around. After all, if what you were saying is true, then you were only operating under another user, and even then, it wasn't anything illegal. By the by, since you're done with him, I gotta know, who was he/she? This is a question of intilectual curiosity, and if you say anything along the lines of "Ha, ha, I tricked you all!", then all I can say is "You are a sad, strange little man." Sincerelly, Wathcer.

Why exactly doesn't he want you to become a user? I don't really see anything wrong with making a userpage, but I'm not sure if it's ok to do. Maybe ask an admin? By the way, Moblin Slayer and I were also wondering who Platt's boss was.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  20:17, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

hey guys,I'm wondering if you will make a mercy rule,like in baseball.

We never have before. It's an interesting idea, but we usually need a whole week in order to get the maximum amount of fight suggestions. It's better that way, since some really good fights come up later in the week.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  06:45, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

It has something to do with giving our email address away. By the by, which users could I ask about the user page thing? Sincerelly, Watcher.

It's not like you'll be giving away your password or anything like that. I mean, for that matter, anybody that you Email will know your Email address simply by looking at who sent it. You could probably ask any admin, but AuronKaizer is probably the best one to ask, since he's generally the most active, most consistent admin. He also tends to have a lot of general knowledge about how things should be done on this wiki.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  18:25, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Umm, yeah, thanks for that, but like I said before, something like this you should ask Richard about, what with him being tight with the Wikia project and all. I'm just a regular user like all of you. Although, I guess technically Richard is as well, but he has that Wikia thing like I said. Ask him. There's not like your email will be used for anything other than lost password and suches, I think. You can also disable the function that allows other people to email you, I think. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 18:33, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't really know Richard, so I don't know what his knowledge on things are. You're the most likely to know out of the admins that I actually know. If you say he's more likely to know than you are, though, then by all means, Watcher, contact Richard.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  23:35, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Guys, I have the feeling that this fight may drag on longer than usual, so could everyone either post more fight suggestions or just pick one. I think that I'm not the only one who gets anoyed when these fights drag on for a while. Sincerelly, Watcher.

I'll handle it tonight. Solar flute

Thanks. If I came off as a jerk, I'm sorry. Sincerelly, Watcher.

Guys, bad news. I just talked to my dad, and he gave me the real reason that I can't join you officialy. According to him, when I joined in talking about Platt last time around, I had started policing the site, something he doesn't want me doing. I don't know what to say except that I cannot join, period. Sincerely, Watcher.

Hang on. Can't you just tell him that you won't police the site now that Platt has stopped?  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  07:14, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, I would, but the problem is that I can never be sure whether or not that will be good enough for him. Someone else may pop up. I'm afraid I can't do anything at all about this. Sincerelly, Watcher.

Watcher couldn't you just enter some nonsense like Ha@Blah.com for your E-mail adress and just not let you dad find out.  Metroidhunter32  00:05, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
