It'll be the swordfight of the ages, broadcasted in Age Dee to maximize the viewing experience! The credentials of these two master instructors of the blade will be announced in the ring! Let us go there, now-like!

In the purple corner is the greatest teacher of the art of the sword on the Great Sea, despite wielding a lance-like implement rather than a sword. A wizened old master, and one of the few still versed in warfare in a time of peace, he instructed the descendant of the legendary Hero of Time in the art of swordplay. Before embarking on the quest that would ultimately result in the defeat of Ganondorf, he gave the hero his first sword. He would also teach the hero the intricacies of the more complex techniques, even teaching him the seldom mastered Hurricane Spin Attack. THIS. IS. OOOOOOOOOORRRRRRCAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

In the brown corner is another revered master of the sword (whose real name is known only to those who have met their end in battle against him), who teaches those worthy (or in the possession of money) in his dojo in Clock Town. For completing his more advanced stages of training, he presents the hero with an item to boost his endurance. Despite being lauded as a man of courage, he (understandably) loses his reserve in the face of the impending destruction of the land of Termina. THIS. IS. THE SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORDSMAN!!!

If your mind isn't blown already, trust me when I say it will be once the fight gets underway. If any rapiers should escape the grip of their masters and begin to freely fly around the arena, do not be alarmed, because great insurance payments are given to those who die. Now that we're all fine with that... LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Orca

 * 1) Allow me to clarify some of this for you: Orca is the Chuck Norris of Zelda. Put anything in front of him and he will kick its butt fifty ways 'till Sunday. His soul-gazing stare alone is an ender of conflicts, if used properly. And look at him in his artistic depiction over there. He's got bloodlust in his eyes, a smug smirk on his face, and is already either praying that you do not continue past your limitations (in which case, you just plain die), or focusing all of his power into his hand to execute the Karate Chop Of World's End. Swordsman is pretty cool and all, especially his Squadalah technique is nothing to scoff at, but he wouldn't last half a second against Orca's Kamehameha Wave. He's nothing but a badarse, and probably has a confident Scotsman's accent to boot. All I can say is... good luck, Swordsman. Because you will need it to beat OOOOOOOOOOOOORCAAAAAAAAAAA! --Auron  Kaizer !  23:13, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) OOOOOOOORRRRRRRRCCCCCCCCAAAAAAAA --Jazzi  BassJapas Japas Artwork.png 23:21, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I feel sorry for the Swordsman. Or rather, NOT. -- Deku  Stick   Master  23:41, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Hmmm, Orca is awesome, Swordsman is a coward who boasts of false courage and power. ~Jioplip
 * 5) I...don't think I even need to explain.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  04:51, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I call him Oprah.  Super  ( duh... ) Alpaca Doggie Mask.gif 05:08, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) My vote goes to the guy who is invincible. He can take 1000 hits with the master sword and still be as healthy as when the fight started. ~ RavensMil|
 * 8) I bet this guy could fight link forever if he had to! ~User:Majoraswrath1999
 * 9) Orca is really cool old guy, and he gave me my first sword in my first LoZ game. I appreciated that he would give a sword to a somewhat hyperactive green-dressed little boy. Long live Orca! |lun ar|Ch ild 13:02, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) I don't know how to/If i'm allowed to fix the numbering, so i'm not going to. But we better fix it quick because if orca sees that the numbering in his fight is mixed up he will use the KARATE CHOP OF WORLD'S END ON US. --Hylianhero777 (talk) 13:47, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) Orca is finally here Meep Meep Meep (talk) 15:31, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) finaly orca gets a fight! *#*#*#enso8#*#*#* (talk) 16:20, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) He's ORCA, for crying out loud.  Besides, if I don't vote for him he'll kick my ass with that spear of his. AnonymousNayru
 * 14) How can you hit him a thousand ties without getting hit three? I cant even hit him once because he can block every attack Oni Dark  Link 17:14, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) Orca is just.... cool. Swordsman is interesting, but not memorable.--  C  2  / C C  19:22, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) Ok. Lemme clear this for you people. I have NEVER played Wind Waker, but I have seen my brother play it since five-hundred years ago! So, I hear the name "Orca" and I'm like....ugh....is this an animal you could like, shoot or something? I look at the picture and see a shirtless dude.....-.-" Then....~!~!~WHOOOOOOOOOO FLASHBACK~!~!~...and sadly, i don't remember the flashback anymore. But I remember now...that the old dude.....was kick-***... XP ~500 Years Ago...
 * 17) ORCA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!-- The One And Only Guitar Hero   Talk to TOAOGH |undefined You can't believe everything online, that's what started WW1 19:35, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 18) ORCA!!--Ingo the great (talk) 19:49, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 19) If you don't vote for Orca, you lose. -Minish   Link  20:44, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 20) It appears I just lost The Game anyway. What is there to say about Orca anyway except...OOOOORRRRRRCCCCAAAAAAA!!!!! Jedimasterlink (talk) 17:57, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 21) The apprentice has become the master and the master has become the apprentice. Emperor Jami 18:27 September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 22) Orca all the way. This guy could take hits like nobody's business! He was the classic master: "Can't do it? Do it BETTER!" All there is to it. CrazyReDead
 * 23) This vote is just digging the hole deeper; this contest is already decided Ricorum (talk) 04:29, September 8, 2010
 * 24) I'm voting for Orca because I like him better than the other guy.-- MaloMart ( talk ) Malo.png 04:36, September 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 25) Orca is a true blademaster so he deserves to win this fight.~User:CerberuΣ GR
 * 26) Orca is cool. The swordsman is a random Hippie.
 * 27) While I do hate the Chuck Norris of Zelda (Like I do the Chuck Norris of Hollywood), I hate Aladdin over there more...22:30, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 28) Orca, or more commonly know as "OOORRRCCAA!!", managed to get his own fan-club. On the other hand, Swordsman didn't. T h e Midna Laughing.png ™  02:11, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) The other guy never actually fights! And WW is so awesome!
 * 2) Orca was way better and actually faught.
 * 3) He does not hide when death is coming to get em.
 * 4) Orca has my vote. The guy from MM doesn't fight with You, also HURRICANE SPIN FTW! 'Nuff said.
 * 5) vote for Orca 8D
 * 6) Orca's cool. And Majora's mask suck
 * 7) Orca actually teaches you something
 * 8) If you've ever found the swordsman on the final day of MM, well, the answer is pretty obvious...
 * 9) I didn't find the Majora Swordsman training very usefull, since I hardly used any of the techniques later on in the game.. Besides, Orca is old, but still strong and agile, why would he lose?
 * 10) Orca gives you a sword, practice, and the Hurricane Spin, which I like very much. The Swordsman rips you off in OoT, and he hides in his little house thingy. He could've at least been smart and hid in the Oceanside Spider House like the one guy that gives you the Giant's Wallet.
 * 11) I agree with the voter directly above me. Also, I like Wind Waker.
 * 12) Orca is better. end of story.

Votes for Swordsman

 * 1) I might otherwise vote for Orca, but the recent Orca-mania has quite put me off. - Is  drak  thül  00:02, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I always hated how Orca abused you when you messed up. This guy is much cooler, and he doesn't require 500 sword hits to get a piece of heart. -TriforceofEpicness
 * 3) This guy is cool, I mean, he gives you a Piece of Heart. I can't stand Orca mania. So, this vote goes to a bizarre, yet amazing swordsman.-- Black   Dragon   Laguz   I'm not doing anything suspicious! Really!
 * 4) I kind of like the Swordsman better, but in truth I like them both. This was a hard decision. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 00:59, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) I'll give him a pity vote since I felt sorry for him at the end of MM. Oddball 464 18:20, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Look at his hair --Tj hoffman (talk) 19:29, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) I took one look at Orca, and my left index finger started to pulse with anger.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 8) I completely agree with EveryDayJoe.  Very tough. Darax King Dodongo.png
 * 9) I to Agree with EveryDayJoe it was a very close> BogusBongos2

I have no idea how to vote on this one. I don't like Orca but at the same time I hate hippies. This might be a last minute or no vote this week. --Birdman5589 (talk) 00:25, September 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Orca gives me the creeps!-- Black  Dragon   Laguz   I'm not doing anything suspicious! Really!

Super Alpaca, OOOOOOOOPPPPPRRRRRAAAAHHHH!-- Reinca  rnation  12:24, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

Um, MWR, your vote is resetting the numbering... |<font color="#003333">lun <font color="#336666">ar|<font color="#336666">Ch <font color="#003333">ild 13:09, September 6, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, crap, what did I just do to the layout and can someone fix it for me? It's like the sherr awesomeness of ORCA is glitching up the fight this week.--Hylianhero777 (talk) 13:49, September 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Why does Orca have such a following? He's creepy! At least Chuck Norris doesn't look like an old, creepy zombie! Uh oh! I think I migh have ticked off the Orca <3'ers!--.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz   I'm not doing anything suspicious! Really!

Well, at least the intro isn't Orca biased.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz   I'm not doing anything suspicious! Really!
 * I really don't see how it is. MM didn't provide a whole lot of anything to work with regarding the Swordsman. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  17:25, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * He said that it isn't, and I don't think it was sarcasm. - Is drak  thül  17:43, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

PK, you could just set your L-targeting to switch mode. - Is drak  thül  00:16, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * I thin he's referring to the comment Orca makes about your index finger after hitting him a thousand times. That's right Orca can break the forth wall too <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 17:39, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's right! Besides, they say that players who select the "HOLD" option for "L TARGETING" are the real "Zelda players!" Portal-  Kombat
 * Hahahaha! Yeah, I read that somewhere in OoT. And if Swordsman loses; I'm going to cry......Well, not really, but it will be sad and expected if he loses.-- Black  Dragon   Laguz   I'm not doing anything suspicious! Really!
