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 vote only 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 in the anonymous sections will count as only 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 the 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.

COOOOOOOOOOOOOURRRRRRRAGE!!! This week's brawl features two almighty groups of deities and supposed creators of their specific regions. Let's meet them in the ring.

In the orange corner is a collection of four all-powerful giant guardians of Termina. Eons before our hero's quest to the land, they lived in harmony with the people of Termina. If the people were ever to require their aid, it was said that they need only play the "Oath to Order" to call upon their help. Hailing from the four corners of the lands, THESE. ARE. THE FOUUUUUUUUUUR GIIIIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANTS!

In the gold corner we have the three great creators of the land of Hyrule. It is said that these mystic goddesses each had a part in the land's creation: the first created the red earth, the second gave the world the spirit of law, and the third, the people themselves, to uphold the law. As they returned to the heavens from whence they came, they left the purest manifestation of their power, the Triforce, behind. From the highest point in the heavens, THESE. ARE. THE GOOOOOOOOOOOLDEN GODDESSES!

Which of these powers that be will win in an ultimate duel? Hold on to hats and perhaps more importantly, your seats, and LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Four Giants

 * 1) I'm currently on a Majora's Mask kick. And it is my favourite game in the series. I'm going to have to go with the Four Giants. –  Jä  zz  i  23:46, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) The Four Giants actually do something to help their world when Majora threatens to destroy it. The Golden Goddesses rarely intervene for anything, and when they do, you have to wonder if the people would have better off if they hadn't. *cough*Great Flood*cough* Jedimasterlink (talk) 00:52, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Four Giants are cooler, plus I'm playing through Majora's Mask like Jazzi. Also, Oath to Order is an awesome song name. -Minish   Link   00:54, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) They don't leave magical superweapons lying around. It's just untidy and it can lead to the end of the universe. - Is  drak  thül  03:29, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) More mysterious, and actually do seem to care a little about the world they guard and protect unlike certain sadistic goddesses over there. --Auron  Kaizer !  07:18, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) MM>Every other LoZ game. Other than that, they actually help the people they created, rather than leave and not do anything when the land is almost destroyed, other than 1. split up the super weapon they left into three pieces or 2. flood the world they made. Ike  00:04, September 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) The Goddesses, through their creation of the Triforce, are responsible for more death and destruction than anyone else in the Zelda universe. Nintendo the Goddesses are also annoyingly inconsistent (Twili? BANNED. Ganon? Nah, he's cool.). The Giants are more down to earth, yet still mysterious, help the people and even lived among them for a time, and have some actual character. They even have a friend, and forgive him despite the trouble he apparently caused in the past (of his own free will, not even counting what the mask made him do). The Giants are a more rational approach to deities than the classic all-powerful-but-largely-indifferent fantasy gods, yet they don't lose any of the epicness or mystery.--Fierce Deku  18:10, September 3, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) The Four Giants are in the greatest Zelda game of all time. Plus, they stopped the moon. The goddesses have never done anything to help Link. (Before you mention light arrows in Twilight Princess, the Light Spirits did that, not the goddesses.)

Votes for Golden Goddesses

 * 1) Way more vital to the series and the voices of the Four Giants annoyed me. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 03:05, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) The Golden Goddesses are awesome i mean they created all of Hyrule and they basically made Triforce exist so they got my vote besides all the four giants did was make the moon stop from falling boring. LoZSuperFan1
 * 3) I vote for the all powerful world creating aliens over a group of Giants who can't even defend themselves against a kid wearing a mask. Oni Dark  Link 10:22, September 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Well, I HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE Majora's Mask, and the Godesses are just much cooler.  Peeeekay.... Gaming! (talk) 08:38, September 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) The Godesses created Hyrule, so for me it is a clear choice. --Elfpixieprincess

Anonymous votes

 * 1) They are way more vital to the series.
 * 2) Din for the win! Nayru all the way-ru! Farore beats the four!! Besides, if it wern't for the triforce, (more specificaly, Ganondorf's lust for its power), Link probably would have lived in kokiri forest until everyone knew he was hylian, and then he'd probably be kicked out.
 * 3) a) The goddesses are awesome. I mean, they're GODDESSES. You just can't beat that. b) something about the four giants freaks me out a little. 'Nuff said.
 * 4) The Goddessess would annighalate the giants.. Besides, I'm not voting for four red naked men with strange heads..

Loving the irony in the color choices. Jedimasterlink (talk) 07:52, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

I was going to say something about the actual colors and what it said they were in the intro, but someone changed it. The ultimate battle. I hoped to see this someday.

In the Temple of Time's distant past lurks the first incarnation of the armored arachnid to actually have the right number of legs to be considered an arachnid. Wielding its flaming death ray and using its own offspring as a distraction, THIS. IS. ARMOOOOGOHMAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

Deep inside Lakebed Temple an eye emerges within a strange tentacle. Oh, could that be Morpha? NO! There's a giant monstrous eel attached to it! Attacking with its deadly tentacles and army of Bomb Fish, THIS. IS. MOOOORRRPHEEEEEEEEEEEEL!!!

Will Armogohma be drowned in defeat or will Morpheel be blown out of the water? Only one thing is certain: It's all fun and games now, but somebody's going to lose an eye! LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Armogohma

 * 1) Armogohma is a spider. Boris is a spider. Do the math. --Auron  Kaizer !  22:36, August 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Well this all depends... is Armogohma a water spider? If so, PWNAGE!! User:AwesomeTingle

 * 1) I like both of the bosses, but swimming in TP is a pain in the butt. Armoghoma FTW!!!
 * 2) It has a f'ing eye on its back! Morpheel doesn't even have eyes! Besides, spiders own anyways
 * 3) I never understood why people never vote for armogohma (or hardly) and I probably never will.. I loved this boss battle, though it was quite easy.. I mean, smacking a giant spider-thingy with a gigantic fist!! Who cannot love that? Morpheel was annoying..
 * 4) I just hate TP, because my friend have it and he always bothers me with it!
 * 5) I'm just a Gohma fan. She's like my favorite boss.
 * 6) Heh. It's a spider. Must I explain?
 * 7) ARMOGOHMA is like the best boss ever!!!! I mean shure it wasn't the hardest or anything, but come on, You kill it by smashing it with a huge possessed statue thingy!!!!!! And it lives in one of the coolest temples ever!!! And it's a Zelda classic, realy, ghomas are awesome!!!Also it just looks down right EPIC!!!!
 * 8) I'm surprised  Morpheel is ahead! He is a remake of Morpha! While Armogohma is more original! COME ON PEOPLE!
 * 9) Spider!!!!!!!!!
 * 10) Two spiders in one! Man, the stupid little eye running around was a real pain o kill, so I'm going for the annoying one.

Votes for Morpheel

 * 1) Morpheel is a lot cooler in my opinion. Argharmor over there seems like just another spider.  <font color="#663300">T <font   color="#996600">h <font   color="#CC6600">e Mask-Mimic.gif ™  03:28, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) Going to have to go with Morpheel. See, while I hated Lakebed Temple and loved the Temple of Time, I thought Armogohma was...well, I was neutral to it, while I actually enjoyed the Morpheel boss fight (for some reason. I don't think I've figured it out yet). So the eyeball with an eel attached to it gets my vote. -<font color="#B0E0E6">Minish   <font color="#003366">Link   03:35, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) In retrospect, I can't say that the Morpheel battle was objectively all that much better than the Armogohma one, but at the time I enjoyed Morpheel a lot more. It was a cool sort of reimagining of the Morpha concept, and just felt epic and scary (giant things deep under water freak me out). I remember finding Armogohma disappointing, the Dominion Rod use there was very simple and the battle in general was particularly short and easy (even for TP). Also I just find it less unique than other forms of Gohma since it's just sort of a spider, whereas Morpheel is very distinctive.--<font color="Green">Fierce <font color="SaddleBrown">Deku  07:21, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Armogohma may have been an interesting fight but it was a complete joke Morpheel actually had some challenge to itDevdude (talk) 19:05, August 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) It had a more interesting and unique design, by which I mean a design that was interesting and unique at all. Oh, and a 3-year-old could beat Armogohma blindfolded and asleep with both hands tied behind his back, as well as any cliches about things being really easy to beat that I missed. - Is  drak  thül  07:53, August 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Armogohma was a complete joke of a boss. I liked smashing him with a fist, but they could have done a whole lot better using the Dominion Rod in that fight. Also, the swimming fight where you are chasing Morpheel around stabbing him in his eye-thing is epic. User:phoenixflight35192
 * 7) Morpheel gave me more trouble than Armogohma. Still kind of torn on who to vote for. But yeah, this one gave me more trouble in a temple that gave me more trouble. –  Jä  zz  i  19:34, August 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) Spiders scare the crap out of me. — Blaze fire12 (talk) 20:06, August 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * 9) Well, its one of the few bosses in TP I genuinely enjoyed. And its pretty original, unlike Armogohma. It gets my vote.  Peeeekay.... Gaming! (talk) 05:14, August 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 10)  I'm not really a fan of either fights, but Morpheel was more of a spectacle to watch then Armogohma. --Nevermind0309 (talk) 23:11, August 28, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) I actually can't really remember either fight but I'm voting for this guy because he seems cooler and, in my opinion, has a better design.
 * 2) I vote the eye with the monstous eel attatched because he's got a better design than Armogohma.Plus,he hasn't been in every Zelda game known to man is some way...Go Morpheel!!!
 * 3) Unlike the bosses of the 3rd dungeons in the other Zelda games I've played, Morpheel is actually NOT a complete pain in the butt.
 * 4) Anything that can freak me out as much as Morpheel did deserves to win.

 * On Tuesday (23rd) at ~13:00 wikia time, this fight will have been up for a full week. Since there's a successor lined up and this fight turned out to be more imbalanced than a Zerg rush composed of Meta Knights wearing Fierce Deity's Masks, I'll go ahead and make the swap then if there are no objections. I don't have to be the one to change it or anything I'm just saying I think this is ready to move along after the minimum week and I can do it if no one else does.--<font color="Green">Fierce <font color="SaddleBrown">Deku 06:31, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
