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.
 * Don't use talk templates.

Votes for Prince Komali

 * 1) I honestly liked WW better and don't birds eat fish? Green Rupee (talk) 21:35, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Well Ralis' most notable moments involve him being unconscious. That and I actually didn't mind Komali's needless depression. Oni Dark  Link 21:43, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) I feel like Komali was an wasted character in a lot of ways, because they give him character growth but never really go anywhere with it. He had potential as a character, though, which is more than I can say for Ralis, who was extremely forgettable in a lot of ways. Xykeb  Yvolix   Zraliv  22:02, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) I don't really remember Ralis that much. So Komali wins by default. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 22:06, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) Komali is one of my favorite Zelda characters, and he actually saved Link. Kingkillerbee (Talk) 16:26, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

Anonymous votes

 * 1) First anon vote. I have no idea why I'm voting for him, other than the fact that my instincts tell me to. Oh yeah, and that the other guy was in a coma for half the game or something, more or less.

Votes for Prince Ralis

 * 1) I'm biased towards Zoras.  Jazzi  21:26, May 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Komali just annoyed the H-E-Doublehockeysticks out of me, even though he turned into a lame Deus ex machina that had no build-up. Not that I have a lot of love for the Prince of Androgyny over there, but... lesser of two annoying princes. I hate princes in general... just spoiled brats, the lot of them. Who needs 'em? --Auron  Kaizer !  21:36, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

In the blue corner is a student at Mrs. Marie's School of Joy. He often skips class and wreaks havoc around Windfall Island with his gang, although some members disapprove of him as leader. After Link beats his gang in a game of hide-and-seek, he stops causing trouble and apologizes to Mrs. Marie. THIS. IS. IIIIIIIIIIIIVAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!!

In the green corner, is the ageless, self-proclaimed "boss" of the Kokiri. Due to his pompous attitude, many dislike his leadership, but he continues to bully the other Kokiri even after the Great Deku Tree's death. However, he eventually changes his ways and inadvertently apologizes to Link for past actions. THIS. IS. MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Prepare yourself for this bully beat down! LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!!!

Votes for Ivan

 * 1) You don't assume a leadership role over Link and leave the ToC victorious. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 21:26, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Little known fact: Ivan's last name is Hamsanvich, and his parents, living in an age before ultrasound, decided upon the name of Ivanna should they beget a girl. Also, he's awesome to the point where he and his gang could be viable MOTHER characters. It was too little, too late, Mido. --Auron  Kaizer !  21:35, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) I liked Mido's character arc while it lasted, but at the end of the day both it and the character himself did very little to stand out from the rest of the characters in Ocarina of Time. Ivan, though, was a cool, fun character that I wish we'd seen more of. Xykeb  Yvolix   Zraliv  21:48, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Everything already said here. Also, let's face it, Ivan looks way cooler than Mido does. -Minish   Link   22:14, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) This guy is pro.  Jazzi  22:35, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * 6) "Mido thou hast been a disappointment to me why art thou such a failure." - Great Deku Tree Green Rupee (talk) 23:15, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * 7) Ivan gives you a pice of Heart, and also indirectly give Link a Joy Pendant. Mido doesn't give you anything, really. Kingkillerbee (Talk)
 * 8) Ivan is better. He's from Wind Waker. He even runs his own gang. That other guy is some random fairy child. — CandD (talk) 23:49, May 23, 2012 (UTC) CandD
 * 9) Mido made me want to kokiri his head off, where as Ivan actually made me mad, but at least his doesn't do the crab walk everytime you near him without a stupid sword and shield!!!  -Hero of   twilight44   10:05, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * 10) I just liek Ivan more. Paradox64 (talk) 19:14, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

 * 1) He's really something if I actually vote on the left. I remember this kid, if only for that nice blue outfit and the fact that he becomes sort of a stalker. Now, in that great game the other guy's from, who is he again...? Wasn't he whining about something?
 * 2) Ivan would probably win this fight, he'd annoy Mido with his annoying voice, oh and he can climb up stupidly high trees, and can boss round a boy (link) who's basically twice his height. Mido is just Mido...
 * 3) Mido sucks, nuff said


 * colspan="3" style="width: 50%; background:#34d891; padding: 5px" valign="top"|

Votes for Mido

 * 1) Wow I'm actually a little surprised at the way this is going. I've always enjoyed Mido's character while Ivan and the Killer Bees as a whole never really stood out to me as interesting characters to be honest. Mido is also named after a Zelda II town and anything Zelda II related is instantly awesome <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 23:56, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) I honestly saw Ivan and his gang as annoying little brats, especially Ivan himself. Mido isn't any better than them at first, but at least he has some actual character development. (A TWW character getting beaten by an OoT character in that department...? What is this madness?) Jedimasterlink (talk) 07:10, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) No question. Mido is 2 funny.  Rusl   33
 * 4) M-m-m-m-mido! He's the original big boss of the youngins and deserves the victory despite his lack of spotlight. Kapodaco! (talk) 14:40, May 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) I actually like Ivan better as a person, but Mido gets character development. And that's worth a lot in my book. Though I get confused if the ToC is meant to compare actual awesomeness as a character or their development. Um. --Naxios10 (talk) 17:15, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

 * 1) Ivan was so anoying. It made me not not to go to *instert island name here*, because I hated hearing his little voice... "YEAAAAAAAH..." *shivers* Mido's apology was much more touching, and made me tear up a little. OoT FTW!
 * 2) OoT>WW 'nuff said.
 * 3) Mido had actual character development.
 * 4) I don't get how anyone could vote for Ivan. An unknown little kid from the Wind Waker of all games. Now Mido from Ocarina of Time, A character who is there from the start of the game to the end of the game.
 * 5) I<3 kokiri and never played other game.
 * 6) I know this guy. And that other guy was seemingly mean TO SOMEONE WITH MY NAME!

Wow, I would've thought the voters would be on the other side. It goes to show that you should expect the unexpected. Not like I'm complaining or anything. Also, to the other anon voter, "not not" is a double negative... Typo, perhaps? Anonymous (Talk) 22:31, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

Votes for Groose

 * 1) Groose is one of the best Zelda characters, ever, in one of the best installments of the series. Linebeck was the best thing in one of the worst. Add in the fact that while Linebeck is entertaining and surprisingly deep and whatnot, he was still too cartoony to take seriously. Groose is just... the opposite of that. Whatever, he makes it work. GROOSE! --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  20:06, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Linebeck was a good character and everything, but his character arc unfortunately still suffers from Phantom Hourglass's atrocious pacing issues, not to mention the fact that the generally bland atmosphere of the game dampened down his charm. Linebeck is a pretty cool guy throughout the whole game, but his charm stays at a pretty constant level throughout the whole game &mdash; he does change throughout, but doesn't really get "that" moment where he really shows you how far he's come. They tried to do it with him asking for his ship back, rather than innumerable riches, but after the long Bellum fight and the general game fatigue, it was hard to take him seriously. Meanwhile, Groose has all of that and more. You get the distinct idea of his character growth, and I was very pleasantly surprised to see him actually come back from him "bully antagonist" role in the beginning, when such characters are often discarded when real villains appear. <font color="#14148A">Xykeb  <font color="#4B0082">Yvolix   Zraliv  20:23, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) I like both, to be honest, but Groose has better hair. Paradox64 (talk) 21:23, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

 * 6) There really isn't anything to add. Jedimasterlink (talk) 00:12, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * 7) i've never played PH, and Groose has the better character. And, with Skyward Sword, your plot was horribly underdeveloped, but there is still the fact that everything refreshes itself, including your original hatred of Groose. ~ Zeldas ganon (talk) 14:18, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * 8) Never played Phantom Hourglass, nor do I care to. Groose. Kapodaco! (talk)
 * 9) I loved Linebeck, but I have to go with Groose. He has an entire video game series named after him! (Although every game in the series has a typo. They all say Legend of Zelda instead of Legend of Groose.) In all seriousness, Groose had a great story and went from being one of my least favorite characters to one of my most favorite.

 * 10) It's already been said. TheWolfsFriend (talk) 06:48, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

 * 1) Groose is dumb. Making him cool.
 * 2) Gotta love Linebeck, but come'on, GOTTA LOVE GROOSE!!!!!!! Whooop Whoop!!!
 * 3) Linebeck only joined Link to get treasure, not to help anyone, but Groose is a boss! (later, like when he helps old Impa)
 * 4) The Legend of Groose: Skyward Hair.
 * 5) I Love Groose. He Is Awesome!!
 * 6) Groose is better, better theme better hair
 * 7) GROOSE, GROOSE, GROOSE
 * 8) He's bloody Groose. What more needs to be said?
 * 9) Groose was my favorite character since the beginning of the game! He's just so fun and the way he likes Zelda so much is just adorable! Groose all the way!
 * 10) ME GROOSTA
 * 11) I really really really like Groose because he's just. more awesome? flamboyant? less annoying? Plus I've actually played a game with him in it. any ways, Groose better win!
 * 12) Groose gets my vote (Because of his Skyward Hair and true kindhearted nature, plus Linebeck being a treasure hunter bores me.)
 * 13) Groose gets my vote just because I laughed at him so hard and I've never played PH
 * 14) I've never played PH but Groose is such a nice character. I hated him at first because he was so ANNOYING, but he grew and became a nice guy, actually doing something useful after finding out that it wasn't him destined to save Zelda. NO offence, but better than most people.
 * 15) Groose is unbelievably annoying. Therefore: I vote for him because he has a lot of characteristics and is one of the most interesting hometown-antagonists.
 * 16) Me Groosta!

Votes for Linebeck

 * 1) I'm not a big fan of Groose. I find him annoying to say the least. Linebeck on the other hand is one of the few things right about PH. So he gets my vote. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 18:27, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Well, Groose really did make me change my opinion of him.... but I don't like his personality. Just not the sort of person I talk to. Linebeck, however, has a sort of awkward charm. Mostly, I am amused by his embarrassment in being nice to people. --Naxios10 (talk) 16:30, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Gold ship! --Hydropanda (talk) 15:43, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Link could not finish the game, or even do the first dungeon, without Linebeck's ship. --Kingkillerbee (talk) 10:52, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) I'de rather not take an adventure back to Groose land, even though I've played neither of these in the series.— CandD (talk)

 * 1) He has that nice blue coat, he owns a ship (yeah, I know flying is an easier mode of transport than boating, but this ship can be made of solid gold), he's on the right, and I just don't really care for Groose in general. So... That's my vote.
 * 2) I don't really like Groose and Linebeck is a lot funnier. Plus, you can actually fight him (although he was possessed).
 * 3) I agree with anonymous above me, I really don't like Groose. I don't even like Skyward Sword all that much. And come on, a bully with rediculous hair vs. a treasure hunter? Go Zelda game before the stupid 'real' time-line and in the time Zelda games weren't rushed so much..
 * 4) I love Linebeck he is one of my favourite companions of all! Go Linebeck!
 * 5) Linebeck has a much better theme, a ship and a grave!
 * 6) Groose is stupid.
 * 7) Linebeck all the way.
 * 8) Man linebeck theme is catchy! da-da-da-duh-da-dee-dee-dee-da-da-da-da-da-daduh-doo-doo-doo! or something like that...
 * 9) <!Linebeck's the man! His grandson is awsome!
 * 10) I loved skyward sword and hated phantom hourglass. I'm also terribly confused.
