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.

In the purple corner, we have a ghastly, ghostly Poe-like guide. This creepy creature guides our hero through the whipping sandstorms past the River of Sands; However, if the hero does not follow this guide exactly, he will be lost in the storm. THIS... IS... THE PHAAAAAAAAANTOM GUIDE!!!

In the green corner is a seahorse of the same color. This seahorse, captured by a fisherman, is saved by our hero and shows him the way to Pinnacle Rock, and in doing so, helps the hero recover Lulu's Zora Eggs. THIS... IS... THE SEEEEEEEAAAHORSE!!!

Watch closely and make sure you don't lose our contestants in the maze... So LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!!!

Votes for Phantom Guide
People,they are just seahorses.sure they're cute but they have nothing on a ghost
 * 1) Mysterious. I'd be lost without this guy. I don't have the intellectual capacity to remember the entire desert path, y'know. The Seahorse is pretty cool, but their loving is a bit too saccharine for me. You know me, I like short names the best. Which has no bearing on this vote whatsoever. Also, cookies. --Auron  Kaizer !  01:10, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm definitely going with the Poe that helps Link through the desert. T h e Midna Laughing.png ™  01:14, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I like sea creatures, but I like ghosts more. - Isdrakthül  01:15, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) My favorite poe in the whole series. Also I live in a desert countrie, so this guy might come in handy. -- Michael Ryan Talk  01:19, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) No brainer. This is one of the most mysterious characters you ever meet in the series. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 01:22, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) This guy is way more epic. Come on, he's a ghost. Also, this is a very proud moment for me. :P -Minish   Link  01:26, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) I like this guy. Therefore, my vote goes to him.  J-man   Zelda   Fan  01:54, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) Truly a gifted poet, even for a Poe.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 9) Give me a smart ghost that memorizes paths over a smart seahorse that memorizes paths any day... -  McGillivray  227  02:24, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) It's not that hard to memorize the Sea Horse's path through the water. I could never make it through the desert without the Phantom Guide. Jedimasterlink (talk) 02:36, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) I don't have anything tangible to say here, really...I just like this one more.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  04:47, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) I like the Phantom Guide better. I can't remember the desert path. ~iNavi
 * 13) I like seahorses, they are cute, they gave me a piece of heart, and I just LOVED their blinking light above their head. Close call seahorses, but I'd go for the Guide. I like ghosts, and without this dude, I would have never beaten the game. Sorry, little cuddly sea-creatures!!!  ~A Sad Seahorse Lover, Yet a Happy Ghost One
 * 14) I love Poes. They are amazing. Plus with his mysterious background and his obviously difficult job, that's enoungh to make me vote for him over the seahorses. Even though they are very cute.Darax King Dodongo.png
 * 15) Do I even have to say it? GHOST=WIN.--RedeadhunterRedead.pngContributions Edits 15:04, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) What is a poe doing helping out Link...i khow the seahorse helps him in the underwater maze but still the poe is more enigmatic Longhorn Velez (talk) 16:24, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 17) Is there really a contest here? I mean Poe is a mysterious spirit who guides you through a never-ending storm, the seahorse is just a fish who helps you through some murky water...--UnendingForestGlade (talk) 16:28, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) A guy who looks cute, guides you, goes on a hot date at the end, and helps through the impossible area. Plus, you don't even have to obtain a certain item for him to guide you. He's better.

WHY ON EARTH HAVE THEY PICKED TO DO THIS!?!?!?! the poe guide is cool looking, has a lanturn, is a member of a cool reacurring race, flies,... (goes on and on about how great it is), while the sea horses are cute, guide the hero, and...um... is cute?

Week 101: Dimitri vs. King of Red Lions
{| style ="width: 100%;" LLLLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMENNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!! It is with great pride that Zeldapedia Corp., Ltd. presents to you the TEMPLE OF COURAGE!!! We are ready to begin The Long and Winding Road towards another hundred fights! And we begin with a battle between two companions of the great hero who aid him in crossing troublesome waters. One contestant is a dinosaur-esque creature of some sort, and the other is an animated boat with a minds of its own. Which will be the superior flotation device? Let's see what these guys have been doing...

In the brown corner is a friendly Dodongo who aids the hero after being saved from a fate (presumably) worse than death. Aside from being able to rapidly cross water with ease, he can be picked up and thrown at enemies for damage. And whenever he's hungry, all he needs to do is chow down on some of those pesky enemies. THIS... IS... DIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITRIIIIIIIII!!!

In the orange corner is a talking ship who aids Link in his crossing of the Great Sea. When the wind is at his back, he sails with mighty speed, and is able to jump over small obstacles. His surprising true identity is revealed a long time after he befriends the hero, and eventually the spirit within him leaves its shell empty. THIS... IS... THE KIIIIING OF REEEEED LIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOONS!!!

Not much else to say about these two buoyant boys, so let's just fasten our set belts and LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!!!

Votes for Dimitri

 * 1) When the wind is at his back, he does NOT sail with mighty speed, the slowest boat i`ve ever seen.User:The dancing redead
 * 2) Dimitri is awesome and my favourite animal companion. The King of Red Lions... can't even look at the guy (?) without thinking of all those painful hours of sailing... Imagine, I could have used that time for something constructive, like play the CD-i games or something. Cool character, but jeez. DIMITRI is the way to go here. Dimitri! Dimitri! Dimitri! <font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  00:40, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I always picked Ricky as my primary companion. But the fact that Dimitri can eat moblins and other enemies is too awesome to pass up. I can’t go with the king over there. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 00:36, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Eating people is just so much more fun over sailing. -  McGillivray  227  00:39, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Imma make this short, since I was edit conflicted. He's awesome. --  Haru Mclean Namikaze  Anonymous.png Kana: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn
 * 6) He's cute and red and cute and red and cute and red and cute and red and cute and red and cute. Did I mention he was cute and red?-<font color ="#68E0D0">Stars  <font color ="#187868">talk  http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/pyroac/Starssprite.gif 00:44, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

 * 8) These are both characters from the few remaining games I haven't played (plan to get to OoA and OoS next after I get through MC) but Dimitri is a Dodongo, and I like Dodongo's....so there...--UnendingForestGlade (talk) 01:17, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) 1. In my opinion, Dodongos are awesome, and dislike smoke, as evidently said by the Old Man. 2. Out of the partners Link has traveled with, Dimitri, in my opinion, is probably the most unique partners who dislike smoke . --<font color="#FF0000">Pie <font color=#000080>145
 * 10) I played this game--DarkTriforce (talk) 03:45, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) A tough choice, but a cute dinosaur vs. an annoying talking boat. I was going to choose Boaty, but I changed my mind.  Super   duh...   Alpaca Doggie Mask.gif 07:24, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

 * 13) Dimitri is way better!Mick E (talk)
 * 14) Which would you prefer? A swimming Dodongo that can eat enemies and be thrown at them, or hours of sailing? --zdmshadow
 * 15) Although I can stand sailing because I don't get seasick, Dimitri is like the Yoshi of the Zelda series! YOSHI! DIMITRI! YOSHI! DIMITRI! They even rhyme. -- Deku  Stick   Master 
 * 16) Dimitri wins, hands down. Talking boats pale in comparisson to the might of Dimitri! It was more of a shock (and pleasant surprise) to discover and befriend this friendly dodongo. --Nayru's Maiden
 * 17) He's fun to ride, ride to fun, to fun ride, to ride fun, etc. <font color=#3ba0c5>Dawn Of A New Day  <font color=#3ba0c5>(is cool)  Deku Flight.png
 * 18) i like him more--Obi-Who (talk) 01:59, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 19) Yah he would so win, he would own the queen of sissy lionesses :) -- Michael Ryan  Talk  04:14, June 4, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Dimitri was amazing, he had multiple abilities such as being able to go up waterfalls and eat enemies, meaning you didn't have to fight them yourself.
 * 2) Dimitri was the best animal you get have as a partner.He ate people!
 * 3) Dimitri is cool and not a stupid boat and he is even better because he eats enemies (like as said above)
 * 4) Dimitri is soo cute! And that boat never gave me any good advise..
 * 5) Who doesn't want a talking dinosaur?  What else is there to vote for, a ghost that can't even go fast? LAME. Anonymously Askorak.

Votes for The King of Red Lions

 * 1) Go King of Red Lions! What else is there to say? He's epic. Okay, done. -<font color="#B0E0E6">Minish   <font color="#003366">Link  00:36, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I actually enjoyed sailing. - Isdrakthül  00:39, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Dimitri is cool and all, but the King of Red Lions is a king (in every sense of the word) and makes a HUGE impact on the plot. Besides, his "ending" might be one of the most emotional scenes in the series as a whole  The Gerudo Guy
 * 4) A talking boat...<font color="#663300">T <font color="#996600">h <font color="#CC6600">e Midna Laughing.png ™  01:55, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) I didn't mind the sailing. It gave the world a sense of scale unlike anything else seen in the series, plus I just liked how the boat looked and how it has that conversation with Link the first time you meet it. Plus, unlike most allies Link has had over the course of his adventures, you can attack this guy with your items and sword and it'll actually react. Portal-  Kombat
 * 6) I was almost tempted to vote for Dimitri just to promote OoX stoofz, but that would not be sincere. Other people can hate on TWW sailing, but it never bothered me, and I quite liked the King of Red Lions, as much as one can possibly "like" a stereotypical mentor character at least.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  02:27, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Just something about a talking boat seems so darn cool. J-man Zelda Fan (talk) 03:14, May 31, 2010 (UTC) 03:14, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) I Did NOT vote twice, for the record... the first time I tried it didn't show up... ANYWAY, the KoRL is a talking red boat which talks and has the spirit of the most kickass king ever, while Dimitri is a cheesy red dinosaur. User:AnonymousNayru
 * 9) While both are great, I'm a Ricky guy so I can't betray him. --Birdman5589 (talk) 03:19, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) I think the King of Red Lions is cooler then Dimitri. I mean, he's secretly the king of Hyrule... whats cooler then being king. --Zoma89
 * 11) Dimitri's usefullness in the oracles games is short lived. Why would you use him when you can just swim? Moosh for the win <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark  <font color="#007A00">Link 07:15, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Other than the original, the oracle games are the only games i've never played never cared about and never really have an urge to play much.  I looked up Dimitri anyway, and I suppose i can see why he is holding up so good in a fight that would probably be one sided (2-D vs 3-D= one sided usually), but he just isnt critical to the gameplay.  You use him a few times to get around a field.  The King of Red Lions you need to, quite literally, go anywhere, well, atleast anywhere except windfall. ---Tehmeganerd (talk) 11:41, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) KORL is the best! he had a great backstory, and without him Link never would have made of of the Forbidden fortress. Plus, I'm one of the few who actually enjoyed sailing and I think he deserves to win.--Hylianhero777 (talk) 13:17, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) As much as I love dodongos (a lot) I enjoyed sailing with the KORL more. He is a cool character that is needed for the game the entire time and I think he looks awesome. Still this was a tough vote. Darax King Dodongo.png
 * 15) The King of the Red Lions is gougerous, He has a cannon, a krane, He can jump on its own, he talks, and He is so wise!-Traveling Phoenix
 * 16) I've never heard of Dimtri, but the King of Red Lions is awesome! He made sailing fun. Chamchir9482
 * 17) The sailing is okay, but I liked his story way more. He is not as simple as he first appears to be.--  C  2  / C C  02:51, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 18) without the king of red lions link could not have sailed the largest world in a zelda game Ganondorf1994 (talk) 14:02, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 19) He has a bigger overall part in this game than dimitry ever had in his so my vote is for the king Longhorn Velez (talk) 16:09, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 20) He's the King of Red Lions, that sounds WAY more badass than Dmitri. Jioplip
 * 21) Same as Anonomous vote no. 1! Paffe and Talk
 * 22) Epic ship is epic. --<font color="SteelBlue">Yowuza  yadderhouse | meh 17:45, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * 23) Everything I wanted to say has already been said, so I will make this short and sweet. Better game, better character, better back story. The end. Hero of Men (Talk)
 * 24) This dude fits in my "Traits Worth Yaying For". He's got AwEsOmEnEsS,EPICNESS, and just plain random(for those who don't know the "random" part, it's a boat with a voice box, for crying out loud!)! What else is there to say?    ~That other person
 * 25) This dude is just epic.  He's a talking boat, for pete's sake!  (And, no, I ain't just sayin' that cuz my fav game is WW.) -ZeldaQueen12
 * 26) His opponent is surprisingly dim-witted. Now go find me a sail. --ComeBackKing (talk) 05:54, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 27) I never minded sailing, and The King of Red Lions is a better character. Jedimasterlink (talk) 22:02, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 28) King of red lions is better than a random dinosaur anyday. a dinosaur! User:Apeman1997
 * 29) Sailing rocks and king of red lions is the best to do it. User:greengill231
 * 30) Dmitri's pretty meh, and red lions sound like they would be awesome. Also, a talking ship. Yay. --Haingi (talk) 16:17, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Sailing around on a red talking lion boat was awesome!...I've never heard of dimitri until now
 * 2) Same as above and I kind of liked saling on him. Sailing on him is much easyer than going on a train.
 * 3) yay king of red lions! He helps a heck-of-a lot more than that dimitri dude, in fact, he's crucial to the story line!! He has my vote definitely!
 * 4) This is a boat who looks cool, gets a cameo, looks cool, has a cannon, crane, and can hold a Korok between his horns, looks cool, survives HURRICANES, and did I mention looks COOL!?
 * 5) i just hav 2 say 3-D games r just awesome, even tho, riding a dino wud be cool, but wind waker is an epic game, i also like the graphics used in the game, plus the king of red lions tru identity is like an unexpected turn, i dont no y, but 2-D games arent really awesome in caracters, but they r pretty cool in dungeons, but in overall, 3-D is better than 2-D, especailly CARTOON 3-D!!!!
 * 6) What ca I say but epic win? he's the flipping King of Hyrule disguised as this cool, TALKING BOAT with a beard. He is wise and you ride around on he stunning oceans for the vast majority of Wind Waker. He's just awesome.
 * 7) A red talking boat (that is actually remotely controlled by a person) is SO much cooler than a dodongo that can't even breath fire!  It can't even attack, unlike King of Red Lions, who has a CANNON!

Why DOES everyone hate sailing? Its really not that bad, if a little tedious once in a while.---Tehmeganerd (talk) 11:45, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I assume it's because most people run out of patience easily. The only time I found it tedious was when sailing from Windfall to Outset during the Endless Night. Otherwise, I found it relaxing. Jedimasterlink (talk) 02:41, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I liked sailing, personally, most of the time though, I just walk away and let the game sail by itself while I go make a sandwich, oddly enough I've not ever died from that. Jioplip

not trying to be rude here in any way but, i found a few errors in the intro. the sentence that describes the "combatants" starts with the words the other even though it is introducing the first. it also ends in a "?" instead of a ".". and then in dimitri's paragraph, it says he can pick up and thrown enemies instead of pick up and throw them. that is all 70.131.127.41 17:59, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

 * style="width: 100%; background: #DDDDDD; padding: 5px" colspan="6"| LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! It's been a long time coming, and now the time has finally come for our super-fantastic, slightly neurotic, ubiquitous, ambiguous, subliminal, terminal, low sodium ONE HUNDREDTH FIGHT IN THE TEMPLE. OF. COURAGE!!! After a tough week for suggestions, in which people were uncertain on whether or not to bend the conventions of the ToC to celebrate this special occasion, we have a sweet battle lined up for you &mdash; not to mention, many, many, many more enjoyable fights in the Temple! It's all just beginning! Now, let's meet this week's contestants, our shy, music-loving flautists, in the ring!

In the red corner is a mysterious lad who is found in a haunted grove. Having found an entrance into the Dark World and subsequently stuck, he wants only for someone to retrieve his flute and play for him the song which he loves. His apparition, which appears in the Light World is beloved by animals, but disappears whenever someone comes too close. THIS... IS... THE FLUUUUUUUUUUUUTE BOOOOOOOOOOOOY!!!

In the orange corner is an impish creature who resides within the Lost Woods. Unusually shy towards those of another race and hostile towards adults, he befriends only those who know a special song of the forest. Being the mischievous creature that he is, he does not pay full price for the mask which is sold to him. THIS... IS... THE SKUUUUUUUUUUUULL KIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!

There have been a great many legendary fights in the Temple of Courage thus far. Will this live up to the legacy and become indicative of the future? That is up to you, our beloved voters! Now let us all raise our glasses (the drinking kind), have a toast and then... LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!!!

Votes for Flute Boy

 * 1) Flute Boy's story was much cooler and much more mysterious. It got me the Shovel, didn't it? Flute Boy is a badass. I like the Skull Kid, but his Ocarina of Time appearance ain't enough, and the explanations of his tacked-on connection to Majora's Mask didn't help much. Hey, the Flute Boy becomes a tree-like creature in the end? Happy ending? Doubt it. Bleak as hell. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  22:35, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I like him more than Ingo. Well actually I do not. But I do like him more than Skull Kid who scares me.Ingo the great (talk) 22:37, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) The Flute Boy had a deeper character than OoT Skull Kid. Still, I'm tempted to change my vote just because of the Skull Mask. - Isdrakthül  22:39, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) He's so awesome, even ostriches come from Africa to Hyrule to listen to his music. Those African animals can acknowledge how freaking fierce he is all the way in Africa. --  Haru Mclean Namikaze  Anonymous.png Kana: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn
 * 5) If this were about Skull Kid from MM I'd vote for him without a second thought, but his OoT appearance never particularly impressed me, whereas Flute Boy is pure badassery.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  06:59, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I'm with Xykeb on this one.-- C  2  / C C  12:20, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

 * 8) Meep. I'm with the above. Meep Meep (talk) 15:08, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) I dont really care much for either and am voting for the under dog. Although when I do think for it a bit the flute guy doe have a bleak yet some how surreal and pleasant story that I am quite fond of. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark  <font color="#007A00">Link 21:21, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

 * 11) There aren't many things that can really send a chill down my spine...seeing the Flute Boy turn into a tree stump after playing the flute is one of those things. Jedimasterlink (talk) 01:12, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Flute Boy inderectly gave me the best way of transportation what did skull kid do? cheapskate me out of a mask and also trying to drop A MOON on my head! (and also with the turning me into a tree thing) Octorok (The Minish Cap).gif D m e r k a GU 10Octorok (The Minish Cap).gif
 * 13) Even tho MM is my favorite game of the series, I'm going to have to go with flute boy.  He is so much more mysterious...  User:Hello Doggy
 * 14) Come on. He becomes a petrified tree for crying out loud. --Birdman5589 (talk) 06:28, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Me - Why do the most vote for the bad guy? Flute Boy is dead, we have to honor him. AND he is the one to thank for the first Ocarina in Zelda history. Without him the developers never got ispired to create the best Zelda game of all time: "Ocarina of Time".
 * 2) I feel so bad for his father.
 * 3) +1 Flute Boy
 * 4) Link to the Past and its characters are obviously far superior to any others.
 * 5) In Ocarina of Time (which is the version the image is representing), the Skull Kid doesn't do much except for a Heart Piece when you're a kid and tries to kill you when you're an Adult. The Flute Boy is much, much more helpful. Plus, one feels sorry for him, as he got lost in the Dark World.

Votes for Skull Kid

 * 1) He's Skull Kid! How could you not like Skull Kid! He's a mysterious boy in the woods. No, he's basically a mysterious entity in the woods who fades in and out and wants to play music with you and wants you to teach him a song. What's not to love?! --BassJapas (talk) 22:40, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) He's from MM Just pointing out the way most people will vote for this guy... I just like the Skull Kid better. I think I just like the way he magically vanishes in OoT. The one problem with him in OoT is that he stiffs you. In MM... he causes Link to become a Deku, makes the moon start coming down on Termina, and a lot of other crazy stuff. Hm.  -- Deku  Stick   Master 
 * 3) Skull Kid is the man. as much as I like the Flute Boy and want to give him my support, I can't make myself vote against this guy. a lot more nostalgia here. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 00:28, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Skull Kid is one of the only villains in the franchise that I despised yet could empathize with at the same time.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 5) This is a tough choice. I don't know why, but, for some reason, I want to vote for the Skull Kid. zdmshadow
 * 6) skull kid was more significant --Hylian potato (talk) 02:34, May 24, 2010 (UTC)hylian potato
 * 7) His face is made of bone, he has major flute skiz-ills, and an awesome mask.....  SKUUUUUULL KIIIIIIIIID!!!!! -ZeldaQueen12
 * 8) I was going to vote for Mr. Flute, but the picture scared me and the pic of skull kid is cool. Yes, I voted on the pictures, it that a crime? No really, if it is, please tell me. <font color="OliveDrab">Super <font color="DarkSlateBlue">duh... <font color="SteelBlue">Alpaca [[File:Doggie Mask.gif]] 04:38, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) skull kid is awsome he tried to kill everyone Ganondorf1994 (talk) 18:04, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) Whether he is controlling the Moon, being controlled by a mask, or dancing around in the woods, Skull Kid is never a boring one. <font color="#663300">T <font color="#996600">h <font color="#CC6600">e Midna Laughing.png ™  20:24, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) How one-sided is this, he was from two of the greatest Zelda games of all time, OoT and MM are great, and so is this guy. Skull Kid all the way! Golden Fierce Deity.png --War62 (talk) 20:44, May 24, 2010 (UTC) Golden Fierce Deity.png
 * 12) There was a strange aura about skull kid that I only just interpreted that I have had with me ever since I played OoT and MM.  Its like the evil wraith of all the things that haunt children, being alone, having no friends, not having any power to do anything, and perishing somewhere far away where no one can help you or save you (lost woods).  I really think there is just something about this character that is deep, something only Shigeru and his buddies could think of, just another cryptic Zelda moral.  Plus.... Flute Boy is a good character, but he is underdeveloped and had just a boring monotonous feel to him and his side quest, so my vote goes to mister brain damage over here.---Tehmeganerd (talk) 22:52, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) This was a tough call, if we were talking pure Oot here, I would vote for flute boy, but based solely on characters and not on certain time areas I have to go with the skull kid...even if he was REALLY annoying in MM..--UnendingForestGlade (talk) 00:14, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) Anyone who lives in the Lost Woods will always win in the Temple of Courage (maybe)..--Pink_link May 25, 2010
 * 15) Wow. As much as I love A Link into the Past, I enjoyed Majora's Mask better. I liked the poor lonely kid who just wanted...this is about the race? Well, they do serve as bittersweet reminders of what once was in Twilight Princess. As for OoT, two words: Saria's Song. Phoenixdaughter  AM  13:16, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) He can play a flute even though he has a beak.  What more could you want...   A human
 * 17) I haven't played A Link to the Past enough to meet Flute Boy, so... --<font color=#E0115F>The <font color=#082567>Ultimate <font color=#50C878>Hokage88 [[Image:Arwing.png|25px|]]
 * 18) Wow. 100th battle... I was expecting something more grand, but, oh well. I was going to vote for Mr. Flute over there, but because I just got MM, I recently found out, this guy rules. He turns you into a Deku! Not to mention, I'm trying to anticipate what he did with Epona. I love this guy, end of story. Skull Kid forever... User:Hero of Men
 * 19) Skull kid!! of course!! how can you not like a kid in a skull mask? --Shibuya yuuri (talk) 21:46, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 20) Although he ripped us off in OoT, Skull Kid is just cool and really endearing!!!  The Gerudo Guy
 * 21) Not much to say on this matter... I just like the Skull Kid more. Zoma89
 * 22) I have a fond memory about the Skull Kid when I was first playing OoT. When I was walking around the Lost Woods and first found him, I did not learn Saria's Song on the ocarina yet (at the time, I didn't know you could). I spent so long trying to replicate the song just by ear, going in and out of his area and listening to the melody, trying to get the right notes. Other than that, Skull Kid is just more appealing to me. Oddball 464 00:05, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Skull kid is awesome because he leads you through the forest in twilight princess (even if he is a pain)
 * 2) OoT, MM, TP... wherever he appears, he is awesome!  Plus, I love the insanity of MM.
 * 3) Villain, sidequest, guide, no matter what he is, he is cool. He is the memorable bonehead Skull Kid. Get it, Skull Kid, bonehead?! HA! *Cricket chirps*
 * 4) Skull Kid is the coolest. I mean, was there in the Lost Woods in Ocarina of Time and he was the awsome figure behind Majora's Mask. He beats the Flute Boy for sure!
 * 5) Majora's Mask was my all time favorite Zelda. Plus, after all the crap he put us through in that, I loved finally getting to beat on him in Twilight Princess
 * 6) Poor guy without friends.. As a guide he was scary, but as an evil villian he was awesome! He can't help it he has a strange beak for a mouth..
 * 7) This guy is just amazing and I mean in TP he could summon other enemies, the Flute Boy couldn't do that could he.
 * 8) Anything that you can kill to get 200 money is a winner in my book.
 * 9) Skull kid is awsome, end of story
 * 10) A long time ago, a hero of old made a journey to find a lost friend. This hero had everything to be sad for, and he only continued on out of desperation to continue. After riding in the forest for a little while, the hero stops... suddenly the hero's horse erupts and the hero falls into an unconscious state. A naive but power-holding imp appears almost out of nowhere. There and then, begins my favorite adventure ever: Majora's Mask. No, I am not picking Skull Kid because of Majora's Mask, but because of Skull Kid himself. SPOILER: in the end of MM, Skull Kid distinctly remembers Link from OoT, and virtually thanks him. Skull Kid is a misunderstood and naive imp; yet he's the perfect puppet for Majora. Perfect storyline, perfect components, perfect character.

So there you go. Undeniable proof that one day the Fairies will return to unleash their wrath upon us all! Unleash it I say! Unleash it good! They, they just can't see it yet. Are they blind?

Great job on the intro... now I don't feel any regret about this fight being "normal." This is just the beginning! Portal- Kombat

may I add that if he wasn't in there, link would be stuck on the island? hmm, not much of an adventure...also, he helps in spirit tracks (the regal ring, i prosume?). SEE WHAT I MEAN?!? enough said. (oh, and nerds are SMART.)

come on. I cant believe i was tricked with this sudden apierence. (i MEANT to put this with linbek vs byrne, but then this showed up, so the whole thing transfered to this fight) stupid. (ignore that post... PLEASE?!?)
