COURAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE'''! We ask that that the audience wear protective goggles and stay well out of range of both of tonight's combatants.

In the green corner, we have an armor-clad anthropomorphic lizard monster FROM ANOTHER TIME-UH! He is not the talkative type, but lets his actions speak for him. Wielding a huge flail, later stolen from his corpse by the graverobbing Hero of Twilight, '''THIS. IS. DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARKHAMMMMMERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!'''

And in the yellow corner is a mysterious General of Darkness...a remorseless villain hell-bent on evil deeds such as preventing people from growing crops and using flowers as launchers...another wielder of the glorious Ball and Chain weapon and a man whose true form strikes terror in the hearts of even the fiercest pyromaniac...'''THIS. IS. GENERAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONOXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX!!!'''

Both our audience and tonight's duelists are feeling that hunger for smashed skull jelly right now, so without further ado...LET'S GET READY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Votes for Darkhammer

 * 1) You can take his weapon when you beat him. You can take. His weapon. Diachronos (talk) 02:30, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I've never played a game with the other guy, but Darkhammer was pretty cool. It was an extremely original weapon for Link to own in the series (the ball and chain) and I can't help admitting that I really enjoyed beating him and then discovering that his weapon did not disappear and I could take it and kill all of the stupid ice blocks in that dungeon. --Twili Tetra
 * 3) I don't own either of the Oracle games, so this is really just a vote for the character I'm most familiar with. LapisScarab (talk) 20:20, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) I haven't finished the oracle games and I hated facing Darkhammer. But I like the Ball and chain that Darkhammer gives you so My votes to him.--Ironknuckle1 (talk) 20:26, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) Not sure how Darkhammer is loseing. Way better then onix over there.   Metroidhunter32  17:17, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) Without his ball and chain I would never be able to beat dinalfos. Midna Rocks

 * 1) Really liked him, fun boss. Then again, have yet to play Oracle Games... heh.
 * 2) I think that Darkhammer would have to win this battle, and anyone who says Onix (yes I spelled it with in "i") would win because he uses his dragon form know this, he would be disqualified because this is an "A-MACE-ING" battle meaning you can only use mace not your hands.
 * 3) Never played oracle games but I had more trouble beating darkhammer than gannondorf!

Votes for General Onox

 * 1) General Onox was a pain to beat, both in his regular and "true" form. Darkhammer was a cool mini-boss battle, but still too easy. Also, General Onox's weird dialogue and character in the manga, totally different from the game, I do like. So, it must be Onox. (Please people, try not to misspell his name as Onix or YOU WILL DIE.) --Auron  Kaizer !  02:20, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I've said it before and I'll say it again: I will lose any respect I have for anybody who votes for Darkhammer purely because he is in TP. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 02:21, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Onix Onox looks fairly cool and his fight is pretty fun. Darkhammer is just kinda one of those "eh" fights for me. Pointless Clawshot ceilings + narrow hallways + impossible to dodge weapons = mediocre fight.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  02:23, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) The Darkhammer fight was easy, if you don't mind loosing hearts. Plus I like his story better.--  C  2  / C C  02:25, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) Onox a synonym for the word "powerhouse" :D but Darkhammer is really easy to beat.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 6) Before I played the Oracle games I propably would have voted for Darkhammer... Mr k m i l
 * 7) Normally I hate Onox,but even I have to admit that he beats Darkhammer. Sure you get to take Daerkhammer's weapon, but Onox is the main villian of his game. And he is actually an enourmous Dark Dragon! Onox pwns Darkhammer, pure and simple. User:HeroofAwesome
 * 8) Meep! Meep Meep (talk) 18:51, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * 9) "Did you see it? The power of the dark general which extinsuishes every power and destroys evey living thing!" (plus he's a dragon) Oni Dark  Link 20:43, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * 10) If I were to list all the ways and reasons that Onox just wins over that darkhammer guy whom I see no reason to give a flying giants knife about, you would have to have countless archives for this vote alone.--RH 23:50, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * 11) I'm still trying to beat this guy, he's too hard! Darkhammer wasn't even a challenge for me. Oddball 464 00:49, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * 12) Onox would pick up Darkhammer with two fingers, and EAT HIM--DarkTriforce (talk) 01:09, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * 13) Neither have swords and I like swords :( Oh well onox is one of the most badass enemies. --The man without a plan (talk) 20:40, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * 14) Dark hammer was just an uninteresting place holder, it almost feels like he was made up on the spot. at least Onoxy has a purpose and motivation in addition to mysterious title that demands an explaination!--Foutlet (talk) 18:32, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * 15) I don't want joe to lose my respect! --Zelda311 Golden Fierce Deity Golden Fierce Deity.png 18:55, 14 August 2009 (UTC) 23:00, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * 16) I havent played this game, but onox looks cooler, anyway.zeldafreak39
 * 17) General Onox looks awesome with his armor and spiked ball and chain. He would probably win a fight, also.  The Midna  ( talk )  Midna Laughing.png 18:06, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * 18) Onox is a final boss, unless you're playing the linked game, while Darkhammer is only a miniboss. Sir Real
 * 19) Onox has a funny hat so, (☞ﾟ∀ﾟ)☞ Onox! Haru Mclean Namikaze will swallow your soul...| talk | Kanji: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Hantou Makurīn ''

 * 1) I vote Onox...because his ball is spikier. :3
 * 2) I never fought general Onox and I liked batteling Darkhammer, but Onox' armor looks way cooler then Darkhammer's.. That's why I like Iron Knuckles more then Darknuts too.
 * 3) A badass mini boss v.s a badass final boss(I THINK, i hav't played his game
 * 4) While i would normalygo with Darkhammer, Onox has one extra awsome weapon, and i stole Darkhammer's weapon twice(thats how many times I've played through the game, even though i only got to the Palace of Twilight on my first playthrugh) Mr.Fairy
 * 5) He is harder to beat and he uses more than a ball and chain
 * 6) Hmm, a guy who is a fat lizaflos or a guy who is actually a dragon, ya probably the dragon guy would win
 * 7) Meh, Onox looks much cooler, so he is the guy I'm going to vote for.
 * 8) Orox rules. So i`ll vote for Orox
 * 9) Onox, obviously. Darkhammer is merely some kind of monkey in a suit, while Onox has the air of a professional head-smash-in-er.
 * 10) im voting for onox because i will get the game and he is awsome
 * 11) Two words. Giant tornado.

I think this is the first time that I can honestly say that, there is no good reason to support a Twilight Princess thing.-- C  2  / C C  02:28, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * There is when you discover the unparalleled bliss of being on the giving end of the Ball and Chain. Diachronos (talk) 02:32, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Same (to CC). Of course, I've thought that bunches of times before. But never said it. Of course, I'm not really saying it now either, just typing it out. So I guess, we still haven't said it. --Auron  Kaizer !  02:33, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * That makes two of us. (At Diachronos) I never found a true need for it, I'm pretty good with a sword.-- C  2  / C C  02:34, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * I use it whenever I can... Diachronos (talk) 02:38, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's a good weapon, but not enough for me to support him.-- C  2  / C C  02:39, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Don't get me wrong, I loved Snowpeak Ruins. I thought it was a great level of difficulty and a nice twist for a dungeon in the story. But it is such an undeniably filler area, and the boss was one of the biggest letdowns :\ Portal-  Kombat

Looks like we were wrong about dark hammer gets votes for being tp. ALthough the week is still very young and i could be proved very wrong Oni Dark Link 20:45, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Seeing as the letter X is two sounds and not one like most other letters, how would one stretch out the X sound? Do we say "ksksksksksksksksksksks" or just "kssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss"?  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  23:53, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * The second one. Portal-  Kombat
 * The latter.-- C  2  / C C  02:52, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * The former, actually. --Auron  Kaizer !  02:14, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * On that note, can you really stretch a silent E? (See: COURAGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!) Signed, The Recondite Sage.

I hate that Darkhammer only got one real vote. Diachronos (talk) 18:40, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, Twili Tetra knows his/her stuff. --Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  18:41, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * That's why I decided not vote this week--if I did, I would be one of the "fake" votes, so to speak, since I thought Darkhammer was only okay, but I haven't played the Oracle games. Jedimasterlink (talk) 06:08, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

im delighted about the turn out. GO ONOX <font color="66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 18:49, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

I think I really helped Darknut get more votes, I mean come on, link could barely beat that dragon, but this is not for Onox's true form
 * This is of course assuming people are voting for it as it were a real battle and not a popularity contest...which doesn't really happen a lot. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  16:48, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * This is probably the biggest fail I've ever seen as far as vote & comment combinations go.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  22:34, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * If this was a real battle Onox would wipe the floor with Darkhammer: A game's antagonist vs. a mini-boss... hmmm? --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 22:36, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * One of the only difficult main antagonists aganest a mini boss which is only hard if you have only three hearts. <font color="66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark  <font color="#007A00">Link 18:23, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Week 67: Error vs. Old Man
{| style ="width: 100%;" size=5>Winner! Error! 20>13 LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADIES AND GENTLEMEN! The outrageously attractive editors of Zeldapedia bring you the 67th, that's right, 67th, week in the TEMPLE OF COURRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!! This week, we bring you a blast from the past, a fight from back before Nintendo even knew how to speak English properly. For those reasons, please forgive all grammatical errors made by this week's contestants.

In the purple corner, we have a man who defies all description. Many attempts have been made to categorize him, even more to understand him, but they have all been in vain. There's really only one thing we know for sure, folks: '''HE. IS. ERRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOORRRRRRRR!!!!!!!'''

And in the light blue corner, a man as old as the hills and half as eloquent. Find him in a cave, a tree, a dungeon, and who knows what he'll do? Give you advice, mug you, play Money Making Game? He's the Zelda series' ultimate unknown, the OOOOOOLLLLLLLD MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!!!

And so, two ancient mysteries with a preschool-level understanding of the English language compete for a winner to be them! In the spirit of these two brave competitors, I say to you, LET GET READY TO RUMMMMMMMMMMBLLLLLLE!!!

 * 4) This character...he has so much personality. He needs his own game! Make it happen, Nintendo!
 * 5) I gotta go with Error on this one. The most infamous of all video game typos.
 * 6) Error makes sure he is uneac in his own way by restating his name(INSERT SNIFF HERE)
 * 7) This guy is so stupid he's funny! Seriously though i almost died laughing when i first

 * 2) REDEADHUNTER DISLIKES ERROR--Redeadhunter 18:34, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

 * 4) before he had all of thees attractive maidens and female sages he had to rely on the intellegence of a schizophrenic old man. error was just confusing and dose nothing else, a lot like 75% of all the other NPCs from that game--Foutlet (talk) 22:12, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) The Old Man is clearly the underdog here, but his garbled English infinitely surpasses that of Error. ONES WHO DOES NOT HAVE TRIFORCE CAN'T GO IN...SOUTH OF ARROW MARK HIDES A SECRET...this stuff is pure fool's gold.Jedimasterlink (talk) 00:22, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) Error simply is an error, he is the law
 * 2) After watching this http://www.effinfunny.com/legend-of-neil/seasons?vid=342&sid=1 everyone has to agree that old man better than this error guy
 * 3) I vote for Old man because...every hero needs a mentor xD. And while, yes the Legend of Neil thing isn't from the actual game, I still think the Old man was more useful, three swords and plenty of crazy advice!
 * 4) "Secrets lie where fairies do not live." Classic Old Man, so cryptic and a little poetic.  One of my favorite parts of Zelda.
 * 5) It's dangerous to go alone. Take this. Not to mention, Zelda II was the most pathetic game I ever played
 * 6) I have to go with the old dude. Mr. Fairy
 * 7) At first I voted for error, but I changed my vote. I remembered all the good times on Zelda games that had to do with the old man, And he is still a wise awesome old man.
 * 8) I would have gone for error. But after the legend of Neil. Man... xD "No, it's Oold maan!"

I am honestly surprised error is so highly voted. Old man has had plenty more apperances and is better known plus error is from zelda II but still he is winning.

 * Honestly I'm not surprised at all. It's called "ironic love", where you love something because you think it's ridiculous and laughable. Error is quite simply more infamous than Old Man, because Zelda II got the "bad game" stuff on top of the mangled quotes. Therefore he's getting more votes.
