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.

Votes for Bokoblin Base

 * 1) Chucking bombs at Bokoblin watchtowers was pretty awesome. — Ceiling   Master  22:41, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Sneaking around the Bokoblin Base was a very unexpected part of Skyward Sword for me. It added another dimension to Eldin Volcano and I find it more fun that the stealth in Wind Waker. Also Skyward Sword is my favourite Zelda game.  - TimboJimbo User talk:TimboJimbo

 * 1) I personally enjoyed sneaking around the Bokoblin Base and re-aquiring your gear, and it really makes you appericiate your sword.
 * 2) Re-aquiring your gear was fun.

Votes for Crescent Island

 * 1) Crescent Island, to me, is one of the best realized settlements in Zelda. You really feel this place has a history, and you get to help it prepare for future changes to come. And the whole losing your items and getting them back bit was pretty satisfying... once it was through, that is. While I did welcome the unexpected gameplay change of losing your items in Skyward Sword, as a whole it felt like padding, and stealth elements have been implemented into Zelda to much better effect than this. The fact that I was so dead tired of the Eldin Volcano area at that point didn't help. -- Auron  Kaizer  !  21:47, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Bokoblin Base was cool and I liked the implementation of stealth elements (though like AK says, they've been done better before), but Crescent Island was just better crafted. Where Bokoblin Base's collect-a-thon was very linear and each item had only a couple uses, Crescent Island was extremely dynamic, what with the multiple pathways, acquisition of an entirely new item, and the great Shovel/Power Bracelet/Roc's Feather switcheroo that takes place. Bokoblin Base was more of a glorified stealth section, whereas Crescent Island was a long, satisfying puzzle.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  22:38, July 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) I don't really like stealth sections in games. --Kingkillerbee (talk) 05:53, July 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) All around better. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 03:05, July 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) I can't actually comment on Crescent Island, but I can say that the Bokoblin Base helped prove that rehashing an area to artificially lengthen the game is a bad idea. Jedimasterlink (talk) 08:00, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Votes for Error

 * 1) When I was trying to play through Zelda II, I encountered ERROR and flipped out, it was quite exciting. So yeah, voting for the infamy.
 * 2) The Secret Moblin gave me money, but Error gave me a special kind of shattering insight into my mind without which I would be a drastically different person today, for better or worse. Money can't buy me love, but temporary psychoses, yeah. It worked for Charlie Sheen, at least. Lastly, I would lik-ERRORERRORERRORERRORERROR01000101 01010010 01010010 01001111 01010010 --Auron  Kaizer !  00:36, July 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) For the record, I don't have these games. I think Error was so famous since it was just very random and funny for a game that is usually regarded as difficult. Kingkillerbee (talk) 21:56, July 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Banter between my friends and I about how he got this name is priceless. AWWW YEA! (talk) 17:59, July 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) Hate moblins. 'Nuff said. --Amythistfire (talk) 01:13, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * 6) I feel incredibly bad for this man. His name is Error, so what? As human beings we should be trying to accept others for who they are, despite the silliness of names or looks or otherwise. I vote for Error only because he's a good man who takes care of things when things need to be taken care of. God bless this man and his family. Kapodaco! (talk) 03:43, July 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * 7) The Secret Moblin's quote has had more recognition from Nintendo, being more prevalent throughout the series. Here is a vote for the underrated one. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 18:37, July 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * 8) Error should win. (talk)
 * 9) In a time where NPC's were as cryptic as cross words Error was the lone man who stood out from the rest by being helpful and to the point. He did what he needed to giving all the information Link needed with no riddles or twists. That is why I vote for Error, not because of his name but because of his purpose. A man who choose a name that could be remembered for a time when his knowledge was needed. Oni Dark Link 23:20, July 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * 10) I am ERROR!!!!!!!!!!!! 100% Although I never played the game, I've seen him in a fan-made wario game (but with a twist)— CandD (talk) 23:36, July 11, 2012 (UTC)

 * 2) Why am I voting over here? Well, IT'S A- Ahem. I fully and completely trust my instincts that told me to vote here, and I don't think they are in ERR- Alright, don't throw those tomatoes at me, I didn't finish the phrases... And no, this isn't me going with the flow; the comments on this side just pushed me in this direction and I couldn't bring myself to make a pity vote.

 * 4) I know you look scary, but that doesn't matter. My name is Link, three years old. Would you like to be friends? --Hydropanda (talk) 15:37, July 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) The Secret Moblin's line is found in multiple other games, while "I AM ERROR" is only found in one that I know of. &mdash;Ceiling  Master  15:52, July 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * 6) I don't really have a preference one way or another, so to keep things interesting, I'll vote this way to keep the score tied (for now). Jedimasterlink (talk) 06:07, July 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * 7) The Secret Moblin is mentioned in almost all of the LoZ games, while Error is just a weird step-child in a weird step-child of a game. This is my first post!!! TimboJimbo

 * 5) The Secret Moblin is mentioned in almost all of the LoZ games, while Error is just a weird step-child in a weird step-child of a game.
 * 6) Secret Moblin. Adventure of link sucked.
 * 7) I really liked Error, but the Secret Moblin gives Link rupees just for dropping in and saying hello. One heck of a nice guy!

Honestly, the colors need major(a) work, I haven ever had that hard of a time with the colors. And the introduction... might be too little.

"In the blue corner is a masked we have a villager from the Town of Ruto." Delete this comment when its fixed. --Amythistfire (talk) 01:39, July 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not that hard to remove it yourself. Of course, we don't need the introduction all spaced out. Jazzi  02:23, July 4, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, now the votes are flipped. 5 user votes and 3 anon votes for Error, and 3 user votes and 5 anon votes for the Secret Moblin! Well, I for one didn't expect it to turn out like this. Expectations. I have none. Anonymous (Talk) 13:25, July 6, 2012 (UTC)

Our combatants this week are monstrous metal machines hidden in the depths of ancient temples. Oh, hey, they're awake! Let's meet them now.

In the raging-red-orange corner is a masked mechanical monster found frozen in a large block of ice deep inside of the Snowhead Temple. Responsible for the recent frosting-over for the area, our hero ventures inside with his trusty Goron Mask and engages the creature in combat. Running away from the rampaging beast, eventually the hero destroys this creature and it collapses, out of energy. Angry and ready to trample down anything that gets in its way, THIS. IS. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHT!

In the gray corner we have a golden, many-armed automaton found in the very top of the Ancient Cistern. Wielding axes and swords, it proves a challenge for our hero to defeat; only by fighting fire with fire (or big swords with...the same big swords, as it were), is our hero able to damage the heart at its very core. Armed and ready to fight, THIS. IS. KOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLOOOOOOOOKTOOOOOOOOOS!

Hold on to your dustmasks and watch closely! This intense duel-to-the-death is about to begin! So without further adieu LLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRREADYYYYYYYY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

 * 3) I wasn't too much a fan of Koloktos. Goht was a fun battle, especially because you need the Goron mask.  Ike  20:51, June 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Goht is really tough and ruthless, just Majora doing its thing boss wise. It's appearance is also pretty badass, and though I'll admit Kolkotos looks cooler, I didn't enjoy Skyard Sword much so he pales down in comparison.--Trill&amp;Plumm (talk) 04:48, June 30, 2012 (UTC)

Anonymous votes

 * 1) I just feel bad for Goht, AND Majora's mask was a much better game.
 * 2) Goht stunk as a boss. But he was still amazing.
 * 3) No love for a boss that attacked you out of free will?
 * 4) Both were fun, but I enjoyed Goht much more. And, he's one of the bosses not made easier by fierce deity.
 * 5) Goht is one of my favourite majoras mask bosses and the goron mask is just awesome.

Votes for Koloktos

 * 1) One of my favorite Skyward Sword boss fights and come on this thing just looks badass.
 * 2) I'll admit Goht was a great boss but Koloktos just beats him six hands down. This was a terrific boss fight, great boss design, very fitting music, nice use of the dungeon weapon and it lets you use a big freaking sword. Goht had quite a bit going for it but being the boss that you likely had to refight the most in the game eventually made him become somewhat annoying in my humble opinion. Koloktos on the other hand I look forward to fighting this boss again and again and again. Oni Dark  Link 17:24, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) My favorite SS boss that you don't fight 3 times. How could I not vote for him?--Green  Rupee  18:31, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) You get a giant sword from Koloktos. Case closed. --Killed by <font color="#008000">Keese  19:11, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) While I like Goht and consider it the more fun and objectively challenging fight, the latter is caused more by fake difficulty in the form of unfair, random programming than any sort of ingenuity on the part of the game makers. Koloktos quickly becomes repetitive, but never boring. However, it does become a victim of trying to hard, with the giant swords and whatnot. It's not strictly necessary, and seems to me to be a bit beneath Zelda in general, instead fitting more into, to say it in a very nice way, cerebrally challenged games (and by extent, the gamers what play them) such as God of War. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  21:29, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * 6) Goht was a fun fight, but the finicky controls of the Goron rolling combined with Goht's eerily accurate attacks could make it frustrating at times. Koloktos employed a cool and creative use of the (otherwise pretty disappointing) dungeon item and was overall I found it really entertaining. <font color="#14148A">Xykeb  <font color="#4B0082">Yvolix   Zraliv  22:47, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * 7) As much as I'd love to fill that void on the left, I just can't bring myself to do it. Both battles were a lot of fun, but Koloktos was just designed much better. Jedimasterlink (talk) 23:33, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * 8) I haven't got to this part in Skyward Sword, and I don't have have Majora's Mask, so this is based off of the videos. As much as I dislike voting for a side that is winning by a lot, Koloktos looks more challenging and it kills its own minions. Kingkillerbee (Talk) 21:04, June 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * 9) Likely my favorite boss in the series. Goht is good, but loses when compared to this guy. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 19:47, June 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * 10) Actually, there were a surprising amount of reasons to choose Goht, but Koloktos is simply one of the very best boss fights we've had in the Zelda series. Shame that the Whip is kinda... weird. "FWONG! SPLAT! GLOIP!" - it sounds and looks like something you'd get for a kid at a science fair. Also the Goht fight was pretty genius. --Naxios10 (talk) 07:50, June 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * 11) Koloktos's theme song is super intense and his fight was very creative. It perfectly fit the Buddhist theme of the Ancient Cistern. Plus I never played Majora's Mask, and quite frankly Goht creeps the hell out of me...--Hero of twilight44 (talk) 11:08, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * 12) This boss is awesome! It looks so cool. It is solid gold! Goht is the easiest boss ever. I hate easy bosses. Koloktos was hard and looked awesome. Z-Zori Gigafly (Talk) 20:39, June 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * 13) Koloktos is bigger, stronger and more of a challenge than goht so my vote goes for Koloktos...--Longhorn Velez (talk) 15:23, June 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * 14) I think everything about this boss is epic! Even the music! What's better than a gold robot with multiple arms holding axes? Goht is just a... Simple goat! User:ShadowEyes978 (Talk) 18:54, June 25;2012 (UTC)
 * 15) I gotta choose THIS pile of metal because after fighting Ghot two times this morning, I'm absolutely sick of him. :P --GildedGhirahim (talk) 00:09, June 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * 16) He's epic!

Anonymous votes

 * 1) First vote. Not just anon, but overall. Anyway, I, uh, haven't played the other game, but before you go all "I hate people who do that" I would like to say that I read the page of the one on the left and watched the video. And I prefer this guy. I liked the fact that you got to use his own weapon against him, and he's just so nice and shiny. And my instincts did tell me to vote on the right again.
 * 2) When I first battled Koloktos I was like, Awesome! All those big and shiny weapons! I like shiny weapons, which is why I like the Iron Knuckle so much and he's got an axe too. But then when Koloktos got up his wobbly legs and took out the six giant scimitars, I was like: NOO WAAAY!! I loved this battle! Oh yeah, Majora's Mask is indeed a better game than Skyward Sword, in my opinion.
 * 3) Honestley hwo wouldn't LOOOOOOOOOOOVE to wield those scimitars. I mean goht was fun but he could get VEEEERY annoying at times.
 * 4) Don't make me choose!!!
 * 5) The solid golden ancient machine always gets my vote.
 * 6) The Goht battle was kinda boring.
 * 7) Well, I'm kinda new to the whole "Legend of Zelda Universe" thing, seeing as I've only played The Legend of Zelda, and Twilight Princess, and I've finish neither of them. So, coolest looking boss goes to the Kolokosis guy, or whatever.
 * 8) never played either game, but my bro has battled kolokotos and his battle theme rocks. just like girahms battle theme. and wind waker ganondorf. and WW miniboss. the list of rocking zelda fights goes on and on and on and... KOLOKOTOS FTW!
 * 9) u get to use a huge sword
 * 10) While I love Majora's Mask a lot more than Skyward Sword, or any other Zelda game for that matter, I gotta hand it to Kolktos for being frigging epic. No matter what the fight is, Koloktos wins.
