In the green corner is a diminutive, almost infantile being who possesses great knowledge of business as well as a caustic, sarcastic disposition! From the village of Ordon, the greatest businessman Hyrule has ever seen...THIS. IS. MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALO!

And in the purple corner, a hooded figure from a far-off island who came to Windfall Island to seek his fortune! A merchant whose honor and loyalty to other merchants is indisputable, and who works as an auctioneer at night...THIS. IS. ZUNAAAAAAAAAAAARI!

Our two slick merchants will now battle for the rights to advertise their business on Zeldapedia! And don't forget to stimulate the Temple of Courage's economy by buying something from the concession stand! Now then, let slip the dogs of war and LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUMMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Malo

 * 1) Malo is an awesome, wacky little devil, and an original character at that. I like the little guy because he reminds me of me as a sumo baby. Zunari is just...weird and is probably related to Tingle in some way. Malo is the superior salesman here. It's not like he paid me off to vote for him or nothing! Erm, look over there! --Auron  Kaizer !  22:39, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Malo is just a much more interesting character. Zunari is...um cool I guess but Malo is quite simply superior.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  22:42, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Ahem..."Why Malo is Awesome" by Old Wise Hehn. Malo is simply one of the most awesome characters in all video gaming. Think about it. At his age, what were you doing? Fingerpainting and throwing temper-tantrums? This guy, however, started a successful chain of general stores, built a bridge and bought out the snobbiest shop in Hyrule. Think about what he'll be doing at age eighteen. My guess is that he'll be the first Hyrulean on the moon (excluding Link).-- MaloMart  ( talk ) Malo.png 22:45, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) I really wanted to vote for Zunari just because I knew Malo is going to win in a landslide because how is it even possible to think that somebody is better then him. --Birdman5589 (talk) 23:00, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) Lessee here...at age 5 (approximately), Malo has the intelligence of a thrity-five-year-old. That makes his IQ...roughly 700. So, he's over four times more intelligent that Albert Einstein if I did my math right. O_O Jedimasterlink (talk) 23:49, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) Zunari sells.....decorative flowers. DECORATIVE FLOWERS. And some flags and statues, even a golden one of himself, which can be used on TWO islands. Two of the... um....forty-nine? And they're all useless and way too pricey. Malo, on the other hand, sells practival items that the player might actually purchase. It also must be noted that Zunari is a freak and Malo is not. -Twili Tetra
 * 7) you cant beat someone who gives you the hawkeye i mean seriously--Ironknuckle1 00:22, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) I'd vote for Zunari, but Malo bought me out.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 9) Malo's awesome, and I always hated how Zunari tricks you into skipping the explaination of the auction. That's not business, that's just cheap! Oh, and did I mention that Malo is awesome? LapisScarab (talk) 03:30, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 10) i like the music that plays in his stores, plus the low prices. Armageddon1844
 * 11) Malo is just awesome. My favorite TP character.--DarkTriforce (talk) 00:45, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * 12) Frankly I find Malo's appearance a little... "disturbing". But he's a freaking economic genius. And he kinda promised me a custom-fit set of Magic Armor if I voted for- Don't look at me like that, all the ones he sells in the store are too damn small! Diachronos (talk) 04:40, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * 13) I simply can't understand why anyone would prefer Zunari. I reckon he'd be the founder of Hyrule's first university. --Yowuza  yadderhouse | meh 17:51, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * 14) His shop has cheaper pricesLeekduck (vote for me, and you will get a hot dog) (talk) 18:32, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * 15) Malo is so much cooler. And he is about as awesome as any shopkeeper could ever be. User:HeroofAwesome
 * 16) How many other young children do you know that can open a successful chain of stores? Oddball 464 01:10, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * 17) The better of the two. By far.--  C  2  / C C  02:32, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * 18) Malo, hands down! He's smarter, more ruthless and all-round a better businessman! Rovanus (talk) 05:18, December 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * 19) Malo is one of the coolest characters in all of the series. I'd vote for him any day. Ceiling Master 01:50, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) again, better game, better player. 'nuff said
 * 2) malo lowers the hyrule shop prices down from like 5000 rupees to a reasonable sum. oh, and anonymous zunari vote 2, he has 2 eyebrows, kind of
 * 3) this little fella is WAY advanced for his age, as he´s practically a pint-sized Rockefeller. Also, you get some of the coolest items in TP thanks to him and his stores (Hawkeye, Magic Armor, Hylian Shield). Zunari´s only useful item is the sail, and that´s it.
 * 4) Malo is a frikking AWESOME midget.  How could you not like him?
 * 5) Malo is awesome! He is small and is much cooler.
 * 6) Zunari talks too much. Malo gave me something to save up my rupees for.
 * 7) You bought it, and if you're smart, then you bought it at Malo Mart! (also, not the biggest Wind Waker fan)
 * 8) Malo gave me a peice of heart, a hawk eye, and a hylan sheld, and hes going to guive me magic armor! go malo! p.s. i didnt play wind waker
 * 9) Malo was actually helpful. And he made a good thing out of a bad situation. I mean, if you were kidnapped by an ugly monster you'd probably sit in the Sancuary crying but Malo, oh Malo, he made a living out of that. And Zunari did practically nothing, came from a cold island, from what, the ice island's head?! Backround story for Malo is just way cooler.
 * 10) Frankly, I find Malo vey annoying, even more annoying than Midna, Navi and Tatl put together. That's gotta count for something!LunaLink

Votes for Zunari

 * 1) Meep. Meep Meep (talk) 01:25, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) How can you not respect the 'stache?--RH 03:26, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) One-sided and I find Malo annoying. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 01:38, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Eccentric guy with fur coat=AWESOME.--  NEG  ATIVE  311  03:01, December 2, 2009 (UTC), your man of the world.
 * 5) There is no doubt that Zunari wins for me.  Although they are both short and difficult to see over the counter...Zunari is better prepared for elements of crazed bargain hunters.  Just look at the fur lined coat that he has.  No frosty glares, from women who just found out that one of your deals expired the day before, could chill his soul.  One vote for Zunari. pauj
 * 6) zunari is the man with a plan who comes from a distant land. he is also an eskimo. how many eskimos are there in zelda??? --Randy w 234 (talk) 19:34, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) It's just one of those things. I liked Zunari the second I saw him... but for like the first month I had the game I thought when Malo used the small text it was his thoughts and he was some mind-control baby thing and he just freaked me out and I never liked him. Zunari all the way. User3000
 * 8) hey he's cool (bad pun intended) Oni Dark  Link 20:00, December 6, 2009 (UTC)

Anonymous votes

 * 1) zunaris better. he has an awesome stache
 * 2) hes got a hood!   Hoods beat mutant unibrow kids any day!  HOODS FTW!
 * 3) I cannot understand why anyone would like to vote for a baby-looking rip-off.. guess only semi-zelda fans who only played Twilight Princess and the cool people who actually know what they are talking about.. Still, I never liked Malo.. his Malo Mart soundtrack was absoluhutly crappish.
 * 4) Because Malo is a jerk-face poo-head cheapskate.
 * 5) I prefer Wind Waker over Twilight Princess for one. Zunari is a more competent shop owner (Well, they both required Link's help). Malo takes your rupees, and opens a shop where old people try to reach over the counter? Creepy in my thoughts. Twilight Princess's Magic Armor was based on rupees. Wind Waker's used magic, and Twilight Princess didn't have magic. I'll stick with Zunari over Malo. -Anonymous Person
 * 6) This guy doesn't yell like the baby. How could a baby run a shop?

this fight is just ridiculously one-sided--DarkTriforce (talk) 00:44, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

I find it amusing that two of Zunari's votes are for his 'stache, one is "Meep", and the other refers to Malo as a mutant with a unibrow...despite the picture clearly showing that Malo has two obviously separate eyebrows...LapisScarab (talk) 06:36, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Zunari's got more of a unibrow than Malo... Diachronos (talk) 14:26, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Even though Malo is WAY cooler than Zunari, I'd like to point out that you get the Magic Armor from both of them, not just Malo.

Yes, that purple crystal was Magic Armor! Just in a not-as-cool form. --Dawn Of A New Day 00:36, December 4, 2009 (UTC)

Anonymous 3 for Zumari doesn't really make sense. They can't understand who would vote for Malo except semi-fans and cool people?--DarkTriforce (talk) 01:16, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Anon number 4 for Zunari gave me a good laugh.
