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 in front of your eventual 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.

Week 97: Gillian vs. Mama
{| style ="width: 100%;" LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMENNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!! Welcome to the Dark Horse round that is the 97th battle in the Temple of Courage! This week, we have a battle against two famous barmaids of The Legend of Zelda lore, battling it out for the grand prize; being featured in the Duff calendar. The two can dish out the brewskies, but can they dish out pain in this perilous battle between one another? We'll just have to see! Let us meet our fighters in the center ring.

In the blue corner is the owner of the Cafe Bar on Windfall Island, the de facto capital of the Great Sea. Always happy to serve customers, be they little men with serious aversions towards noises or bloodthirsty, bomb-stealin' pirates, and the lover of a Fishman... THIS... IS... GIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

In the red corner is the proprietor of her self-named cafe in Hyrule Town, the geographical and economical center of Hyrule. Always staying in the loop as far as gossip is concerned, and being self-employed, has the chance to fuse Kinstones during working hours once in a while... THIS... IS... MAAAAAAAAAAAMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

And now, paid for by the Trilateral Commission, it's time to indulge your animal impulses by watching barmaids battle it out. What is there to say but...LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RRRRRRRRUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Gillian

 * 1) I like Gillian. She seems thoughtful and nice and that. I really hate gossip and moles. You do the math here children. Gillian = AWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! --Auron  Kaizer !  02:17, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) You know what, I don't think anyone could have explained it better than ol' AuronKaizer here. -  McGillivray  227  02:22, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I agree with McGillivray's agreement with AuronKaizer. - Isdrakthül  03:17, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) — Baltro  [  talk  ·  edits  ] 03:51, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) AuronKaizer is right. How helpful is gossip to the actual quest? Gillian is probably the most helpful in terms of the main quest as opposed to Mama. ---Pie 145
 * 6) On top of being an overall more likable character than Mama, Gillian has the nerve to date a talking fish, which (though disturbing and kind of creepy) takes an unparalleled sense of pervertedness guts.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  05:38, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) I don't like the other one, don't know why, I like Gillian though, so here's my vote!- Jioplip
 * 8) Gillian here is tough enough to handle these rude pirates nearly every single night. She is obviously much tougher than Mama. Braelolk [[File:Gold Ball & Chain Trooper (A Link to the Past).gif]]
 * 9) Gillian seems like a more like-able character with better traits, a cooler personality, and a winning attitude.  Plus I like her better.  Darax King Dodongo.png
 * 10) I feel somewhat sorry for that prolonged visit by Tetra's crew. She deserves this victory because of that. LunarChild (talk) 12:51, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) Even though Wind Waker was not one of my favorite games, in this case, cartoon 3D is better than 2D.--Lincas1[[File:Vaati (The Minish Cap).gif]] 20:13, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) personally this was a better game, it kicks -Fooster 04:23, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) The fact that her name has 'gill' in it is reason enough to me. -- Haru Mclean Namikaze Anonymous.png Kana: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn
 * 14) Poor Gillian, having to deal with a sick father and still have to run the "cafe" and put up with grumpy sailors and pirate parties.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 15) I hate both.  Gillian's cafe is much better than the other thing's cafe though.---Tehmeganerd (talk) 21:39, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

And this week, we have a battle against two mini-bosses who battle the hero, whom we all know and love, not only once but twice! Let's see the Tale of the Tape of this week's contestants on the JumboTron!

In the orange corner, we have a breed of mischievous amphibian creatures with a mocking laughter and disdain for heroes. Whether riding a shell-backed tortoise or messing around inside a pile of goo, they always makes sure to torture their opponents as much as possible...THEY. ARE. THE GEEEEEEEEKKOOOOOOOOOOOS!!!

In the red corner is a creature who is no newcomer to the Temple of Courage. Always surrounded by his minions, whom he considers his brothers, this fiendish apparition guards Eagle's Tower, and upon the defeat of his brothers, retreats, only to return later to protect the Organ of Evening Calm, riding a bird mount...THIS. IS. THE GRRRRRRRRRIMMMMM CRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPERRRRRRRRR!!!

Now then, we have two famous mini-bosses of the Zelda series, ready and willing to tear off each others' heads in this grueling upcoming battle. I've overspent my welcome so, LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBLE!!!

Votes for Gekko

 * 1) He may be a little annoying, but he's a fun mini-boss in my favourite Zelda game! I love the battle against the goo. In Grim Creeper's defense, I actually struggled a little to find out how to defeat him. He's cool and all, but come on man, it's Gekko!

 * 6) CALVALRY FTW ---Tehmeganerd (talk) 23:22, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Heck, it's a giant poisonous (at least I'm assuming it is, from the color) frog against the way-overused skeleton enemy. This guy gets a turtle invincible to everything but a surprise attack from beneath, while Captain Bones over there gets some puny bird? Haingi  7:29 PM, April 25, 2010 (GMT -8)
 * 8) The fact that these guys are so annoying makes it so satisfying to destroy them in the end. And yes, the turtle is pretty amazing. Darax King Dodongo.png
 * 9) Grim Creeper annoyed me. Gekko's just funnier looking.-- MaloMart  ( talk ) Malo.png 00:25, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) I love the battle where you fight him in the Great Bay Temple. It's pretty epic, what with his attack where he completely batters Link with a bunch of punches and kicks and the part where you have to freeze his shield and then drop it from the ceiling to smash it open.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 11) He's insane, he climbs walls, and his mount is a freakin' monster turtle for god's sakes! He is one of the best mini-bosses out there! Braelolk [[File:Gold Ball & Chain Trooper (A Link to the Past).gif]]
 * 12) If not for the label, You couldn't tell who the other is from Zelda games. Gekko, you know who he is. --ComeBackKing (talk) 01:40, April 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) Anything that can tame a magical teleporting spike turtle, manipulate evil jell-o, and still turn into a singing frog after it's all over has my support.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  06:18, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

 * 18) A laughing orange frog who rides around on turtles, in goo, and is just fun to kill, or ANOTHER grim reaper parody/imitation thing. It's a little obvious, plus MM rules. - Jioplip
 * 19) I don't have a preference really. Gekko is more interesting to me I suppose.....--  C  2  / C C  11:29, April 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 20) Yes, a skeleton fighter might riding a big bird might sound cool, but, honestly, even Midna could ride a bird. A Gekko is the only boss that I've seen that can ride a gigantic turtle. --Lincas1[[File:Vaati (The Minish Cap).gif]] 22:29, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Majora's Mask = most epic Zelda EVER. Plus, I nearly ripped my hair out of my scalp trying to kill this guy the second time, and anyone like that gets my vote
 * 2) Gekko is bad hombre. Plus, he's the only one I know. Besides, the 'undead miniboss' is WAY overused by now.
 * 3) It is SOOOOO annoying that it gets my vote.
 * 4) i hated being a deku and the timing for this baddy was well set to get my vote. also i do not beleive that a grim reaper could knock the turtle he rides on into the air.

Votes for Hyrule Guards

 * 1) I'm just sick and tired of Phantoms. The Hyrule Guards are a diverse enemy group with many cool battle tactics (although easier to beat than a snake on Whacking Day) and generally badass character design.

 * 3) These guys are the real troopers. Plus, I'd rather kill a guy when I see them, not play some stealth thing that barely works. If I wanted stealth, maybe I'd play a game that is actually made for the stealth genre, just saying. -  McGillivray  227  22:50, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

I always thought those guys were good and only accidentally hurt you so I never would kill them. When a bad guy can convince you to just let the be, then they have something going for them.--Birdman5589 (talk) 23:01, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Agreed and agreed. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 23:03, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

 * 4) This is only my second vote ever (sorry about last week--I'M NEW!), but, having played Four Swords Adventures, these guys are much more enjoyable. The way their captains shout, "BACK! GO!", the way they pop up from the grass with crossbows, etc. 5:58 PM, April 22, 2010
 * 5) Phantoms are weird. These guys are the best. They could beat the phantoms anyday!

Votes for Phantom Guardians

 * 1) Phantoms are way better than hyrule guards. Its fun doing the stealth stuff and dodging them. Plus hyrule guards just run at you with swords. A human 22:23, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Just got Spirit Tracks, and my opinion of these guys has changed completely. —<font face="verdana" size="2"> Baltro  [  talk  ·  edits  ] 22:55, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) In my opinion, the Phantoms are one of the best ways they've incorporated stealth into Zelda. That being said, I vote for phantoms from Hourglass, not Spirit Tracks, for their introduction and how awesome it felt at the end when you cound FINALLY shank them with the (master reproduction) Sword. --ComeBackKing (talk) 23:01, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Well, these guys appear in two games, you can control them by having Zelda possess them, they have a really cool death animation (PH only), and yet the bile- yellow colored generic enemies are getting all the votes. Dawn Of A New Day (is cool)
 * 5) I really like the new phantom types in Spirit Tracks. J-man Zelda Fan (talk) 01:48, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Let me just say that both of these enemies totally @#!*% me off, but I found the Phantoms much cooler.-- MaloMart  ( talk ) Malo.png 02:01, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) They're invincible bad- @#!*%, why wouldn't I vote for them? Jioplip
 * 8) Haven't played its games, but for some reason I want to vote for Phantom. Jedimasterlink (talk) 02:59, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Phantoms are more difficult to beat, more powerful and plus, Zelda was one (well, she possessed one or two anyway) so GO PHANTOMS! pink_link
 * 10) Every time a phantom popped up because I was running too fast or whatever, I had tons of fun running around them or going into a safe zone and shooting them with arrows. Plus phantoms look a lot cooler than the guards. DaraxKing Dodongo.png
 * 11) Phantoms: They're Hyrule Guards on steroids! They are bigger, tougher, and harder to kill. 'Nuff said. --Braelolk Ball & Chain Trooper (A Link to the Past).gif
 * 12) How could anyone not vote for Phantoms? This is sure to be one sided. Wait! They are losing? WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE?Ingo the great (talk) 02:23, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) This was a really close one for me, but the phantoms have a bit more varitey then the gurads. they are also much harder to beat, and I love messing with them (whipping them from a safe zone so they just turn around like, "huh?")--Hylianhero777 (talk) 19:17, April 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) Go Phantoms!!!!!!!!!! Zeldafan777
 * 15) Phantoms are annoying, but it's fun to trick them and make them look stupid. Also, controlling a Phantom is fun (in ST). -- Deku  Stick   Master   Fire Wizzrobe (The Minish Cap).gif
 * 16) Phantoms are epic. TheUltimateHokage88 (talk) 05:19, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 17) I <3d the warp phantoms. I liked the eerie NUNUNUUUUUUUUUUUUH!!! thing they played whenever it came. And when one died, they turned around and looked at you like "You......." (PH) The first time I killed one, I thot i hadnt killed it completely, and it was a swift phantom, so I ran 4 my life! Ahh, memories... --ZeldaQueen12
 * 18) Phantom Guardians are wicked! I'm always having fun by teasing them and running for my life and if they catch you... WHAMMO! Their swords make it act like a game over when they hit Link. Long live the Phantom Guardians --User:TazAJ
 * 19) These guys are waaaaaaaaaaaay cooler. Zeerotytus (talk)
 * 20) Ooooooooooh.......I'm a ghost.....err, wrong kind of phantom. Anyway, I really like Phantoms. <font color="#663300">T <font color="#996600">h <font color="#CC6600">e Midna Laughing.png ™  20:24, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 21) They're freaking ghost knight's of awesomeness!--Dark Arrow 162 (talk) 22:04, April 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 22) They're so much fun to screw with but when they catch you, you pay dearly.  23:51, April 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 23) "CAN'T YOU SEE I'M WORKING." They have style and character, enough said. LunarChild (talk) 06:11, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 24) These guys brought me back to my first days of gaming. Using stealth that sometime worked and if it didnt i would scream bloody murder and run the heck to the nearest cover. /\/\r.6r33&#124;\&#124; &#124;-&#124;@T (talk) 11:18, April 25, 2010 (UTC)Mr.Green hat
 * 25) These guys have more of a scary factor to them. ---Tehmeganerd (talk) 16:42, April 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 26) They are pretty cool! In my opinion, on a strength scale of 1-10, I give them an 8, while I give Hyrulean Guards a 3. ---<font color="#FF0000">Pie <font color=#000080>145

 * 1) The Phantoms were fun and challenging to sneak around, while the Hyrule Guards were just generic enemies that weren't really that memorable for me. -Isdrakthul
 * 2) Phantoms look better and Phantoms are more fun to play!!!^^
 * 3) Phantom hourglass is my fave game! Go Phantoms!!:D
 * 4) Phantoms are much more bad- @#!*%.
 * 5) These guys may be ridiculously annoying, however in ST you can possess one and fight with it. That makes up for it all.
 * 6) With the right music (something chase-like), the Lost at Sea station in Spirit Tracks was really funny. Of course you had to take your own music, but just imagine how they would run after you. Like a children cartoon or something.
 * 7) Hylian guards were frustrating. When you tried to swipe them aside in the beginning, they would reflect your attacks with they're outstretched swords, which is so stupid! This makes for some ultra-cheap moves. Phantom guards, on the other hand, are fun to control, led for some creative puzzles, aren't as cheap in combat AND they look better. Period.
 * 8) The phantoms are FUN, not like those boring guards. In Spirit Tracks I find it fun hitting them with the whip, while standing in a safe zone.
 * 9) Phantoms are scary, yet fun to mess with, I even had a group of phantoms chasing me once.
 * 10) Phantoms say funny things in Spirit Tracks.

Uh, who did the opening this week? A little underwhelming, don't you think?-- MaloMart ( talk )  22:35, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * (Its the dry heat effect. You let it sizzle and then the fight occurs when people come for the bacon. Juuuust watch...)
 * That made almost no sense. I, for one, think that a better introduction is needed. -Isdrakthul (67.102.173.233 00:15, April 20, 2010 (UTC))
 * AK made the opening, and said for any user, I would think he means registered, to make a new one if they feel like it. Just check the history when he made it. - McGillivray  227  01:14, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I took the liberty of making the introduction. It's not much, but I think it'll suffice for the week. Oddball 464 02:09, April 20, 2010 (UTC)*
 * Good job! --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  02:40, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Farore.din.nayru, the fight is about Hyrule Guards. You're thinking of Hyrulean Soldiers. -Isdrakthul (67.102.173.233 01:07, April 21, 2010 (UTC))
 * My thoughts exactly. --Birdman5589 (talk) 02:08, April 21, 2010 (UTC)

i would like to give the pros and cons of both sides. hyrulian guards actually can be killed, buti believe there was a newer version (in link's awakening?). the phantoms are actually anoying in the aspect that they can't be killed until you get the phantom sword, but once you do, you can have all sorts of fun killing them for all the moments you watsed sneaking past them. how does that sound (if you have more pros or cons (or both) post them here, okay?:))
 * Uhh, I really don't know why you bothered to do this, but in any case, you didn't mention the Phantoms' ST appearance.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  06:28, April 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * The cool music that accompanies th phantoms. u forgot th@. The earliest game I've actually played is WW. (I did watch my grandpa play OoT when i was probably somewhere in between 3 and 5 though.) --ZeldaQueen12
 * I just think the hyrule guards are boring.-Olivia.
