Zeldapedia:Temple of Courage



Welcome to the Temple of Courage, where various characters from the 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. This section can also be used for users who wish to stay anonymous. 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.
 * Please don't use talk templates.

Week 57: Keese vs. Miniblin
{| style ="width: 100%;" size=5>Winner! "Undecided!" LLLLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMEN! We are proud to present the 57th week of the TEMPLE OF COURAGE! All right! And this week, due to the small but deadly nature of the combatants, so we would strongly advise to keep all small personal belongings, children, and midgets away from the arena.

In the red corner, we have a bat-like creature. These glowing-eyed nuiscances fly around, sometimes setting themselves on fire, ambushing unsuspecting travelers, these are none other than the KEEEEEEEEEEESE!

And waiting in the purple corner, we have the devilish imps who stab their victims with pitchforks while making weird noises, give it up for the MINIBLIIIIIIIIIIIINS!

In a clash of Hyrule's small and mighty, we have two evil creatures filled with malice. Who shall stand, and who shall fall? That, my dear voters, is up to you! Our combatants are itching to battle it out, so LET'S GET READY TO RUMMMMMMMMMMMBLE! Yeah!

Votes for Keese

 * 1) Miniblins are cool and everything, but I have to go with the Keese. They just happen to always hit you when you simply can't get hit, whereas the Miniblins are obviously there just to get in the way.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  19:24, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) These are both extremely annoying little buggers; however, the Miniblins' constant chittering noise (while informing you of their existence) is something to drive one insane. The Keese give off more of a malicious air and are generally more pleasing enemies (don't ask me why, I'm not sure myself). Light and Shadow (talk) 19:46, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Keese are some of the most classic enemies in the series, while Miniblins are highly annoying little foes. The Keese get my vote. Signed, The Recondite Sage.
 * 4) Voting for the Keese just so I can keep what few shreds of sanity are left after playing Wind Waker for hours and constantly hearing that nightmarish chattering. OMFG I'M STARTING TO HEAR IT IN MY HEAD!!! GET IT OUT GET IT OUT!!! Diachronos (talk) 21:39, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) That chirping sound the Miniblins dives me absolutely insane, and they're not dangerous at all. Ever. Keese are annoying, too, since they are so weak, but at least they occasionally can pose a threat, like when they are Ice Keese, or you are on a ledge or a cliff. Jedi Master Link
 * 6) I like Keese better. Plus, those little things made me want to take my ears off.(Darknut15 (talk) 03:03, 21 July 2009 (UTC))
 * 7) I still remember when I was in the lakebed temple in tp and was hanging from the clawshot over a big pit and a keese knocked me off and killed me. Grrr... DragonPhoenix13 (talk) 13:29, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) Keese can survive a fire arrow and actually become stronger because of it. Miniblins can get squashed by a giant hammer. Where's your noises now? {{User:NintendoKitsune))
 * 9) Miniblins keep appearing EVERYWHERE! Besides, they can't set themselves on fire, set YOU on fire, encase you in ice, or fly... besides, keese are way cooler because of they're amazing silence. Well, unless you count wings flapping... GAR! Ah well... keese win anyway. User:Marou239
 * 10) They are really awesome for thier ability to cover themselves in ice or fire. Green hat (talk) 19:03, 21 July 2009 (UTC)Mr.Green hat
 * 11) If you're walking along a narrow path in the Oracle games and a Keese just happens to hit you, you're dead meat. Oddball 464 23:31, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Bah, the miniblin is a land-locked descendent of keese. Miniblin can be avoided by certain stratagies.  Keese, on the other hand, need to be slain before  you do anything else, or they will bug you as long as you are in the room. Dialask77  Ice Wizard  [[Image:Ice Sorceror.png|30px]] 00:23, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) These guys are hard to hit and seem to have no trouble hitting you. Take it from a guy who hunts in graveyards on slow days. User:Redeadhunter 18:00 21 July 2009
 * 2) My vote goes to the Keese. Ice Keese get me so many times, it gets annoying (but is still funny) The Midna 22:40 21 July 2009(talk)
 * 3) An original can never go stale. Plus, they get updated every so often to include even more annoyingness, what with their fire and ice carrying abilities. I never did like purchasing another Deku Shield when something so low level decided to engulf it in flames. Katamariqueen (talk) 18:32, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) Come on, can any body honestly vote for those annoying, never ending crazy rodents whith pitch forks, or the awesome keese that have been in like every game? Seriously, guys vote for the classic.-User:Bulbin Slayer
 * 5) I never played Wind Waker, so I really don't know how annoying a miniblin is. I HAVE played a lot of others, and I definately know how annoying a fire keese to the deku sheild in dodongos cavern is so.... Cybrwulf
 * 6) Miniblins may be tougher, but the keese are just classic Zelda. I mean, whats a Zelda dungeon without a bunch of keese annoying the mess out of you?! User:HeroofAwesome
 * 7) Set the Keese on fire with Din's Fire and they go away, right? WRONG! They evolve into the awesome Fire Keese, whereas as the Miniblins just... die. My brother learned that the hard way. User:Nayru's Maiden

 * 1) Keese are so much more stealthier. Besides they can use your own fire arrows against you. Ahhh! My Deku Shield!!!!
 * 2) Keese have been in more games. They're a Zelda staple.  If they don't win I will be very surprised.
 * 3) Keese are awesome. They even look hardcore. Besides, what the heck are Miniblins anyway?
 * 4) Keese. Those little bats are SOO annoying. Especially the ice ones. Those ones drove me NUTS. Oh noes, I'm on fire!! and my Deku shield burnt up! lol.
 * 5) My votes with Keese because even though they're annoying they're classic monsters.They have appeared in almost every game!
 * 6) My vote goes to Keese they are easy to beat but there better then miniblins.
 * 7) Definitely Keese. They look a lot cooler and are less annoying. I mean, the irritating sounds those Miniblins make Annoy the heck out of me! Also, I like cool bats A LOT more than demon monkey things.
 * 8) I just have to go with the classics. Ever noticed that Miniblins Look like Devil Sheep? Without Fleece? Oh the horror (Sarcasm)
 * 9) They'd just fly around and keep beating up those annoying pests until they die a gruesome death. Hooray!
 * 10) The Miniblins come at the worst of times and make me feel like ripping my controller up with my bare hands. The Keese, however, can be handled easily and don't keep on coming in swarms that never end. And if you think about it, it's funny how they're lit on fire (and yet don't scream in agony?).
 * 11) Keese are a lot cooler and have been in more Zelda games. And those noises the miniblins make drive me insane!

Votes for Miniblin

 * 1) I like Moblins more than Keese, and Miniblins are close to Moblins. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 19:30, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) The noises they make combined with their tridents is amazing(ly annoying).  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 19:49, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) Miniblins make me laugh, especially when I hit them with the Skull Hammer. Keese, however, just annoy me when I'm trying to climb onto a platform. Plus, Ice Keese MUST DIE!19:57, 20 July 2009 (UTC)MaloMart (talk)
 * 4) Keese. They're enemies.  Kill them.  Miblins are not only enemies but can set you back to the begining of the fortress.  Miniblins actually manage to be both annoying and deadly.  Keese can't really pull off either.   Metroidhunter32  20:33, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) When they are hit by the boomerang, they make funny noises zeldafreak39
 * 6) They're more fun to kill :) --Nunovanhalen (talk) 21:32, 20 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) They've earned a special place in my gaming nightmares. Portal-  Kombat
 * 8) In a contest of annoyingness and frustration, the Miniblins win hands down. You can kill Keese and they stay dead until you reenter the room, but these things just keep coming. Plus, they're sort of funny too. LapisScarab (talk) 14:23, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 9) This one's tough, but I gotta go with the Miniblins. They're both incredibly irritating, but the Miniblins just keep coming, which is bad news if you can't get to a safe place. User3000
 * 10) Keese, one hit, they're gone, and they can never respawn. These guys, on the other hand, just keep coming and coming and coming and coming, and they are so anoying! They win in my eyes. Sincerely, Watcher.
 * 11) Has anyone ever tried tossing all-purpose-bait at the miniblins? they completely ignore you and go for the food! Ha ha ha!
 * 12) it should be noted that i was deeply conflicted by this vote. miniblins are bit more interesting as far as charchters go, (they are starved and apear to comunicate) but kesee can have a much more devastating impact on your charachter. (knocking you off ledges,destroying your woden sheild, distracting your target icon, and freezing you.) the only reason miniblins won my vote is because technichaly the miniblins are fighting regular kesee not the fire and ice varietys.(Foutlet (talk) 18:08, 22 July 2009 (UTC))
 * 13) So many deaths... WHY?!?!--Luroberto (talk) 21:02, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 14) "DALINK! DA LINK! TEH LINK!" if they are calling me "teh Link", I will gladly become their God. They can climb up walls, swarm and stab you with their pitch forks, and absolutely drive you (thanks for putting this in your journal, Lisa.) CRAZY!!!!(but not as much as this laptop does) Crazy? Crazy?! I was crazy once! they put me in a rubber room with rubber rats! those rubber rats drove me CRAZY!*repeats until fainting* rats= Miniblins. --Shade Link (talk) 23:23, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 15) These might possibly be the most evil things in the Zelda Universe for me. They drove me crazy at the Forsaken Fortress! They would never go away. Thus saying that, I love them! Mrs.MikauShadLink (talk) 17:28, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 16) Crazy? Crazy? I was crazy once! They put me in a rubber room with rubber Miniblins! *screams and passes out, then wakes back up* Sorry, I couldn't resist. Seriously now, these guys are cooler. They have pitchforks. And they make funny noises. XD --Lisa URAQT  Tetra.png 17:40, 23 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 17) Keese are just target practice. These guys are pure annoyance. Did BH win some kind of contest to have his likeness appear in the game or something? You might ask why in the age eeh double ell I'm waiting for Miniblins then. Well, I don't have to follow your stupid logical rules. --Auron  Kaizer !  08:27, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * 18) Miniblins, I love to hate them. Kopaka251 (talk) 03:50, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) Miniblins are cooler and more deadly than keese! - Ponkool4
 * 2) Miniblins are dedlier and are easier to target than keese flying everywhere! - Link&Zelda
 * 3) MINIBLINS RULE! MWUHAHAHAHAHA!
 * 4) There sounds, it's everywhere!! So scary and so irritating!
 * 5) These guys are what made the Forsaken Fortress a Forsaken Nightmare, remember the room full of them? These nasty little buggers can climb walls and ceilings. Plus they are funny. Plus keese are only really cool when made out of ice (lol) or when they are in Twilight Princess...
 * 6) Da na. Da na. Da na. I like that sound for some reason.
 * 7) So fun to kill and strange sounds.

Peanut Gallery
I was told by Mr.Fairy that neither he nor Watcher could do the ToC this week, but that Mr.Fairy contacted Watcher, who said he trusted me with the job. So... here it is! I hope you all like it! --Lisa URAQT
 * Nice Job! I didn't even know until I read the Peanut Gallery ;-) Turtleman579  22:03, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

Are Miniblins mini versions of Moblins or Bokoblins? - Ponkool4(not a user)
 * I always assumed that they were related to the Moblins and actually this fight looks pretty level. Might end up with another tie.   Metroidhunter32  13:31, 21 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I always thought they were mini Bokoblins. I actually never considered the possibility that they could be Moblins (d'oh). Hmm... User3000
 * I also thought they were like Moblins. Then again, they don't exactly look as piggish as the Moblins. I never thought of them being mini Bokoblins, but then again it could be possible. Maybe they're not like either or are like both a little bit. They all share that -blin ending, after all. Light and Shadow (talk) 01:02, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * More like an offshoot of the ReDead designed to drive you insane by being annoying instead of being terrifying. Diachronos (talk) 16:33, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I just called them mini-devils in my head before finding out the real name for them, then deciding that they were probably related to Bokoblins and Moblins, judging by the name. --Lisa URAQT  Tetra.png 17:40, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

I always thought the Miniblin made more of a "Da na!" sound...But it doesn't matter. Mrs.MikauShadLink (talk) 17:33, 23 July 2009 (UTC)

17 votes, 4 half votes. 19 votes for both....I know nobody would be interested in this, but I am bored as heck, so I am trying to think of something.....--Shade Link (talk) 12:49, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Hm. It's interesting to see how each time, one side will pull ahead only to have the other side catch up for yet another perfect tie standing. I wonder how this'll end.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  20:01, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Something tells me that someone's rigged this temple of courage.pce-the navi show
 * Ha! Somebody's rigged this? If you'll notice, every single vote except for the 10 anonymous ones has been signed. That means that each of the 34 individual users voted on their own and those 34 votes happened to end up with 17 on each side. According to what I've seen of the page history, each anonymous vote was done one-at-a-time and by a different IP. Therefore those also just happened to end up in a tie. Learn a little about the Temple of Courage before saying it's rigged.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  23:16, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Wow, it looks like we may have another tie on our hands.  Baltro [  talk  ·  edits  ] 23:11, 24 July 2009 (UTC)
 * There are 3 days yet.  Metroidhunter32  23:37, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

XYZ kool ur nut sack-the navi show
 * I find it offensive when somebody says that something's rigged when it's not, because that means they indirectly think that the admins are being lazy and not picking up on it. And guess what? Keese are winning by 2 1/2 votes now. It's not rigged. Additionally, "nut sack" is not a term generally accepted around here. Just to let you know.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  18:16, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Somebody put the name up Bulbin slayer. Is that a real user? when i moved my mouse over slayer, it was not a link, when i moved it over Bulbin, it was just a link to Bulbin

Yup, it is not a real user, I just typed it up User:Bulbin slayer. the vote is not a real vote. I kinda DO think the votes are being rigged, cause somebody probably put it up there.--Shade Link (talk) 19:14, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

nvm about the rigging, but the Bulbin slayer name is fake, and they put it in the Keese, non anonymous section.--Shade Link (talk) 19:16, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

It's probably just some guy who has no idea how things work around here and just wrote some crazy name by mistake. I think let's just move him to the anonymous section User:Redeadhunter
