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.

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. 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.
 * A short notification must be made before changing the fight.
 * Please don't use talk templates.

In the pale corner is a weird-looking dude found sitting under the tree in Kakariko Village at night, claiming how "disgusting" everybody is (but him, of course) and only respect other "Nice Guys", like himself. THIS...IS..GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROG!!!

In the purple corner is a character clad in purple with a curious fascination for the Moon. Convinced that nobody understands him, he looks at the Moon at night with his telescope. Okay, that's cool. Anyways, THIS...IS...KAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMO!!!

And now, let's see which of these two anti-social characters will be 86'd by the other! LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUMBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBLE!!!

Votes for Grog

 * 1) Duh, I thought this guy was a villain when I first discovered him. He was also quite mysterious, considering his part in the Biggoron's Sword trading quest. He might not be as cool without his mohawk, but he's still badass. Kamo was just...eh, too stereotypical, and I couldn't really connect with him at all...not saying that I did with Grog either. Err...awesome! --Auron  Kaizer !  21:53, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) "People are disgusting. My own Father and Mother are disgusting. You must be disgusting, too!" Grog is just better, in my opinion. He looks cooler. -- Deku  Stick   Master 
 * 3) Grog turned into a Stalfos and then had Fado laugh at his fate. As much as I love the Kokiri, I feel bad for him, thus he gets a sympathy vote --IStars   talk FUN!  22:01, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Grog just called me disgusting, didn't he?  The Midna  ( talk )  Midna Laughing.png 22:06, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Grog is awsome--Phantom Zelda (talk) 22:08, February 21, 2010 (UTC)Phantom Zelda
 * 6) Kamo was just a moan. This guy actuly makes you think about how terrible life is. Oni Dark  Link 22:47, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Grog gives u the bunny mask. Duh i would vote for him!Dragon roost
 * 8) How could you possibly not vote for Grog?  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  23:00, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) This guy represents the finest, most pure existentialist philosophy in the whole series. Besides he actually manages to heartwarm you with his decidely tender reaction to Cojiro. His fate it´s quite tragic in retrospect.  The Gerudo Guy
 * 10) Nothing like marching around with chickens and speeding across fields with the Bunny Hood.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 11) He is hillarious! The other person isn't funny at all!  Ray Talk 2 me 23:25, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Only man other than Link to ever get inside the Kokiri Forest or man who waits until his girl is taken by another guy. Tough choice...NOT! Grog Rules!!! --ComeBackKing (talk) 23:29, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) This guy created the league of anti-socials. - McGillivray227 (talk
 * 14) I personally liked him more.--  C  2  / C C  01:31, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) I could actually sympathize with Grog. He felt like an actual character with depth. Jedimasterlink (talk) 02:18, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) He's mysterious. And he's got chickens. Beat that.  LuigiYoshi24
 * 17) He gives oyu the freakin' Bunny Hood. That's enough to win at the Temple of Courage. --Sincerely Haru Mclean Namikaze | Kana: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Hantou Makurīn
 * 18) Grog is way more mysterious...User:Longhorn Velez
 * 19) In Majora's Mask, Grog is a total chick magnet...literally. Okay, that doesn't really mean anything to me, but hey, he gives you the bunny hood and I've never even heard of the other guy before. And I'm playing Majora's Mask right now, so that may have something to do with it.  Sir Real
 * 20) I actually played his game so....--DarkTriforce (talk) 00:40, February 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 21) I admired Grog as a tragic character, in both OoT and MM. Plus, he gives you the bunny hood, I've never been able to take down Iron Knuckles so easily without it. Oddball 464 03:22, February 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 22) Grog has a touching backstory to him, and he was neglected by even his own father who remarked him as a no-good scum. You have to feel some sympathy for the guy. Also, without the Biggoron's Sword, I might not have beaten Ganon. Kamo? One Piece of Heart? If it weren't for that then he'd be a loner.  SandFlyer83  (Talk) 03:32, February 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 23) Grog gives you the bunny hood in MM.  If that won't win it for him I don't know what will. Floormaster 10:37, February 23, 2010 (EST)
 * 24) This poor guy is shunned by everyone around him. He seems like he would be a nice guy if you took the time to get to know him. And then he turns into a stalfos. Breaks my heart. Take care Grog. Docter Ted

Anonymous votes

 * 1) Grog's worldview is similar to mine.
 * 2) I thought Kamo was a woman at first. No joke. But I vote for Grog because I get to bring him a Cucco, instead of taking a picture of the moon. Also, this is a one-sided fight...
 * 3) I hate Kamo cause he won't accept my picture of the moon in Wind Waker. Go Grog!!!!

Votes for Kamo

 * 1) Because I'm worried about him. If he doesn't get a single vote, he's going to hurt himself.-- MaloMart  ( talk ) Malo.png 01:23, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Grog, you are disgusting.--Redeadhunter 02:33, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Eww, Grog is a creep. I would slash my sword at him when I was younger hoping it would actually hurt him after he called me disgusting. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 16:41, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) I feel bad for this poor little emo kid. --Birdman5589 (talk) 20:19, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) They are both annoying, but Kamo isn't a deranged drunking freaking LUNATIC!  If I were Majora i'd crash the moon right into his little cucco farm, and evacuate only the cuccos, that's how much i hate Grog's character. --Tehmeganerd (talk) 21:57, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) She's a guy...?--ZantIsKing (talk) 04:24, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Come on everyone! Lets make this the most one-sided ToC match ever! or you know mumble over dramatic comeback mumble mumble.

If this one is also the 86th does that mean Laruto didn't really lose to the (literally!) washed up rock star?--ComeBackKing (talk) 23:36, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Heh, I appreciate the subtlety. --Auron  Kaizer !  23:37, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is the most one sided fight i've ever seen, ever. Who picked this fight?!?!?!?!?! --Tehmeganerd (talk) 21:59, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uhhhhhhh, there's more to a ToC fight than one-sidedness, you know. People liked the fight and the connections that the characters shared.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  23:12, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * That would be me, meganerd:).--Redeadhunter 01:15, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Anon number three for Grog, you need the delux picto box and then photograph the moon.--Redeadhunter 03:34, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

Week 86: Laruto vs. Mikau
{| style ="width: 100%;" LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!! For the 86th time we gather here at the TEMPLE. OF. COURAGE! This week, we have a fierce fight between the ghosts of two musical Zora. Let's head to the center of the ring to see what these guys are all about!

In the blue gray corner is a female Zora who, in life, was the Sage of Earth. Holder of the Ancestral Harp, she was murdered by one of Ganondorf's minions, seeking to eliminate the threat of the Master Sword...SHE. IS. LAAAAAAAAARUUUUUUUUUTOOOO!!!

In the turquoise corner is a male Zora who was the guitarist in the famous Zora band, The Indigo-Gos. He was mortally wounded by pirates in attempt to save the children of his true love and lives on as one of Link's various forms...HE. IS. MIIIIIIIIIIKAUUUUU!!!

And now, the fight is almost upon us. The halftime show will consist of a duet performed by our two competitors, if both are still alive at said point. In the name of music, LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Laruto

 * 1) Mikau is cool and everything (if a little... spastic), but Laruto hits me a lot harder than Mikau does. And so does the Earth God's Lyric. Diachronos (talk) 21:13, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Well, because I feel sorry for her, after being killed by that...thing. Mikau is good, but Laruto's story makes me think. So, I'm voting for her.--BeatOli (talk) 21:16, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Both are cool, but Mikau's spastic behavior sort of ruined the mood of the scene for me. Plus, I prefer Laruto's music. Jedimasterlink (talk) 22:20, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) For the irony. Fish being sage of earth. Makes less sense then a bird Oni Dark  Link 22:55, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) If this were about Laruto and Zora Link, I would vote for Zora Link instantaneously. However, this is about Mikau himself, and Mikau himself is just...weird. Also, harps are cool.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  00:57, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Sage of a temple with undead in it FTW!--Redeadhunter 01:15, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) I liked her much more than Fado, and I like Fado much more than Mikau. Law of syllogism. — Baltro  [  talk  ·  edits  ] 01:23, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) I hate everything that emulates "surfer speak" and so...Earth God's Lyric FTW!!! --ComeBackKing (talk) 03:40, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) This was hard, but Mikau was a tad beat, sure he had to face against Gerudos, but Laruto actually stood against Ganondorf's Army. The King Of Evil. And considering that the room had only one door, she could have fought against the army with her bare...fins.  SandFlyer83  (Talk) 03:49, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) Mikau's song just weirded me out.-- MaloMart  ( talk ) Malo.png 04:11, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) A Sage that can restore power to the strongest sword in Hyrule, now that's kinda cool against a guitar playing fish.--Power courage wisdom and time (talk) 14:13, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Well, both are cool, have epic instruments, and are Zora, but mikaou is insane.  Period.  Aside that point, Zora link and his related dungeon are my favorite in majoras mask, but I prefered how puzzling it was to have to go and search down the person who is the sage in wind waker.  (FYI i didnt pay attention to Laruto or Fado's instruments, and i didn't use a guide, so that part was hard for me =|)--Tehmeganerd (talk) 20:41, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) If anyone here knew me irl, they'd know why. I'm like, constantly humming the Earth God's Lyric under my breath. Laruto has an awesome song, and Mikau only has some weird thing written on a gravestone that so obviously serves no point other than to tell you something they could have just as easily put in the MM manual. —Lisa  URAQT  23:40, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) Though I've actually seen Mikau in the game itself, I don't enough about Laruto to vote well. I'll vote for Laruto because Mikau is losing.  The Midna  ( talk )  Midna Laughing.png 01:18, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) Given the choice in between 2 zoras that have no personality whatsoever I'll take the one who's female.   Metroidhunter32  02:45, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) Laruto's song is very pretty, while the other guy's is just annoying.  '''User:Superlink27 February 20, 2010
 * 17) Girl power.And she's losing.Also,Mikau looks like a bodybuilder,Just plain ew.--Farore.din.nayru (talk) 14:01, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 18) A Zora in Wind Waker was so much more shocking.Ingo the great (talk) 00:56, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Anonymous votes

 * 1) Laruto looks cute, Mikau just like a bully. And I always liked Laruto since she was the only Zora to appear in the Wind Waker.
 * 2) I prefer Laruto. Mikau is covered in tattoos.
 * 3) Well...I really do love playing the songs with the Wind Waker....and besides, I never really liked...transforming Link.
 * 4) well, Mikau may have an awesome guitar, but did He stand up to an army of monsters ( not just a fat ghost) without any sort of weapon? (and note no one even knew Laruto existed) also, the way link transforms is... distirbing... (shows slight discomfort)
 * 5) the harp is shiny.
 * 6) Laruto's cute ;)
 * 7) Mikau seems kind of strange. Besides, Laruto is a sage, while Mikau is just a random guitarist.


 * colspan="3" style="width: 50%; background: #bbe9e1; padding: 5px" valign="top"|

Votes for Mikau

 * 1) LOOK AT HIS GUITAR. LOOK HOW AWESOME IT IS. Additionally, he was a real sacrificial hero and performed his own memorial speech (?) before death. That's just cool. Laruto is also a good character, but doesn't get enough development, and the name could have been more original. Anyways, LOOK AT MIKAU'S FREAKIN' AWESOME GUITAR. --Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  21:11, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) How the hell can you NOT vote for Mikau?! He is just epicsauce. Laruto may be a past Sage, but she doesn't have a totally kickass guitar and tattoos. Without Mikau, we could not have Zora Link, and I wuv both of them very much --<font color ="#66ddFF">Stars  <font color ="#999999"> talk FUN!
 * 3) Guitar and tattoos are too awesome for the presence of Laruto. Not enough character development in her too... - McGillivray227 (talk)
 * 4) A cool guitar, rock star demeanor and a real tearjerker story. This guy has it all!!! -- The Gerudo Guy
 * 5) He's not already a ghost when you meet him. You see him hurt, you see him die, and you know that he's leaving people behind. Laruto just kinda...shows up. Not nearly as sad.-- Lapis of  the Night  21:36, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Mikau's story is more tragic than Laruto. You also can't help but feel sorry for the other Zoras when you're Zora Link, giving them the impression that Mikau is still alive... Oddball 464 21:38, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) GUITAR>HARP. -- Deku  Stick   Master 
 * 8) Mikau. Is. Awesome. End of story. Ceiling Master (talk) 23:07, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) How could ANYBODY lose to Jalhalla? Even one of my friends who never played the game before was able to beat it.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 10) Guitar beats... Whatever she plays. A harp?  Ray Talk 2 me 01:28, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) I think that Miaku has a better ego than the girl. So he gets my vote --Lokomo808 23:47, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Mikau is awesome and you can play as him. Sir Real
 * 13) Mikau is pretty cool User:Tabs34
 * 14) just look at those tattoos! User:Linkgirl123
 * 15) I play guitar, and Mikau is such an inspiration to me. Besides Guitars are way cooler than harps. He is the only reason why I would consider Majora's Mask a better game. User:Mountdew072
 * 16) Mikau plays guitar, is descended from a line of zora warriors, and becomes a mask that turns you into a zora. And he died protecting his loved ones and will never be remembered for it. He is a true hero. User:HeroofAwesome
 * 17) Guitars are totally more complex than harps.Pie145 (talk) 00:09, February 15, 2010 (UTC)Pie145
 * 18) First of all I don't really know who Laruto is. Mikau is cool, I read the Majora's Mask manga. Oh, and he has a guitar. -<font color="#008000">Minish  <font color="#2A8000">Link  16:04, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 19) Mikau can do more awesome moves than laruto. Anyone who can do the badass zora energy shield gets my vote. User:DarkLantern1806
 * 20) The fact that Laruto is even close is shocking to me. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 19:30, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 21) mikau's story kinda reminds me of my own...(with out the pirates, eggs, the sea horse or me dying at the end...User:Longhorn Velez
 * 22) Mikau is much more useful in the game.You get his mask(body),gituar,and his fins make useful boomerages.Besides,his story is way more sad than larutos.--User:FaroreForestFairy
 * 23) Zora Link is my favorite transformation and the bonefish guitar is my favorite instrument. Mikau FTW. TheUltimateHokage88 (talk) 04:42, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 24) I preferred the Zora Mask to Goron and Deku, and Mikau is essentially the Zora Mask. Plus he has a freaking lightning shield!  Turtleman579  06:09, February 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 25) Mikau gave his all to try saving his loved one's children and ended his life in the process. His soul is then involved in an even greater quest to save the land in which his love and all the others of Termina live. He is just epic upon epic. Because of his great valor, Mikau gets my vote. User:Docter Ted
 * 26) Mikau is actually cool. Laruto was a bit.... boring. Just saying.--  C  2  / C C  15:04, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 27) Mikau because he's an awesome hero and he's really brave, y'know User:Kotsu the EM Wave Hero
 * 28) Basically what everyone else says. He's a ZORA, He's a GUY, and He's a ROCKSTAR! Best of all, he's LINK. Cybrwulf
 * 29) I've played both games but I haven't gotten to the part where you met Mikau, but I did watch the scene on youtube. Laruto's story isn't so great, she died, you had to find the new Sage of the Earth (which basically proves the theory of the bird people Ritos I think, haven't played Wind Waker lately are evoled Zoras) and I like Zoras a lot. And the game Mikau came from was really dark and Mikau's story was really sad. He helps save a world, and he helped get his lovers eggs back even if that meant he was risking his life. I just have to go with Mikau, I love his backround story, it's so sweet and dark. FTW! (Plus his Zora Domain has Japas, I'm basically in love with Japas, shh don't tell anyone) --ZeldaFanFreak (talk) 04:51, February 21, 2010 (UTC) ZeldaFanFreak
 * 30) Hes the closest thing to a rock star zelda's got.The Shadow Monarch 125 (talk) 17:32, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Link transforms into a Zora, girl who couldn't stand up to a big fat ghost. Honestly, what do you think?
 * 2) Mikau got killed bye protecting everybody and nobody even knows. nobody even knows he is dead when you are zora link everybody is relying on you.
 * 3) I vote for Mikau, because in my opinion he has the better game and the Zora's Mask was freaking awesome
 * 4) Obviously Mikau... he's a legend. Best instrument Link's ever played.
 * 5) Mikau,yeah.
 * 6) Mikau is more developed than Laruto. I think it is also cool playing as a zora because they are my favorite race.
 * 7) Mikau has a guitar called the guitar of waves and I have never heard of Laruto
 * 8) Hard decision, but I have to say Mikau.
 * 9) MIKAU FOR THE WIN!!!!!!

 * Well, Harmonix oversaturated the market with Guitar Hero and Rock Band titles and as an effect, guitar games are now facing a recession in sales and popularity. That would explain it. I...think? --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  19:23, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Week 85: Arwing vs. Chris Houlihan
{| style ="width: 100%;" LLLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMEN! We are now proud to present to you the 85th week in the TEMPLE OF COURAGE! All right! And now, programmers and non-cheaters, please leave the stadium, for this week's fight is a bout between two SUPER TOP-SECRET CHARACTERS! Let's meet them!

In the light blue corner, we have a floating space fighter plane! Hailing from outer space (though some say it is from Kokiri Forest), this proud soldier fires lasers, flies very erratically, and explodes in a rather spectacular fashion; This is the AAAARRRRRRRRRRRWING!

And in the light brown corner, we have a telepathic tile. From the planet Earth, this guy won his way into Hyrule, loves blue Rupees, and keeps a mighty good secret; Here is CHRIS HOULIHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!

So, two secret, supposedly illegal characters shall now face off in this week's fight, but only one of them will gain rights to stay. Which one will it be? That, my dear voters, is up to you! The sheer amount of cheating needed to bring these two here is getting to me, so LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE! Yeah!

Votes for Arwing

 * 1) Hmm, a guy who just had his name inserted into the game or an enemy that most never see who is kinda cool. Hmm, I wonder which I should vote for? Sincerely, Watcher.
 * 2) Chris Houlihan would've been cool if he hadn't been a real person inserted into the game just because they had to put his name in there.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  20:36, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Star Fox 64 was pretty fun for me--Power courage wisdom and time (talk) 20:49, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

 * 7) I don't see Chris firing any lasers. --Sir Real
 * 8) Chris Houlihan doesn't even have an in-game physical mass...... at least the arwing does, so you can pelt it with glitchy slingshot seeds!--Tehmeganerd (talk) 20:43, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) This was a very hard decision for me, but I went with my heart. No, wait, I went with my brain. No, no, it was my heart. Wait, or was it my spleen? I went with something, all right. Go Arwing!-- MaloMart  ( talk ) Malo.png 04:59, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) Because I envy Chris and over the years envy turns to jealosuly and eventually turns to hatered. Plus Arwings are better as cameos and I like cameos <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark  <font color="#007A00">Link 20:37, February 9, 2010 (UTC)

Votes for Chris Houlihan

 * 1) He sure is photogenic. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  18:03, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) He told us to keep his room a secret. By betraying him, this is the only way I know how to repay him. Jedimasterlink (talk) 18:16, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I wonder, does this guy know Kurt Zisa?  Portal-  Kombat
 * 4) Secret Rupees > Secret enemies. -- Deku  Stick   Master 
 * 5) You get to his room when your game encounters a error. Any guy who gives you 225 odd rupees when your game messes up is awesome, I think -- Stars!
 * 6) I despise hacking, but this isn't really cheating, just an error, so I'll vote for this guy. Ceiling Master (talk) 20:47, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) You know, I had a hard time deciding on this one this week. I still am not sure I actually like Chris Houlihan more... --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 21:26, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) He was a lucky soul...  Ray Talk 2 me 22:46, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) LoL. I wonder if this kid is a Zeldapedia user? SPEAK UP CHRIS!--Redeadhunter 01:29, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) I vote here just because I won't hate for being jealous. --ComeBackKing (talk) 02:08, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) Chris Chris Chris Chris Chris Chris.      User:Tabs34
 * 12) I don't know how I could vote the other way. --Birdman5589 (talk) 01:33, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) I like this guy. -<font color="#800000">Minish  <font color="#2A8000">Link  13:54, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) Can't let you win that, Star Fox. Let's see how you handle our new votes. Too bad Ganon's not here to see you FAIL! Houlihan's enemy is MY enemy!--ShutUpNavi (talk) 17:27, February 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) Personally, free rupees defeat enemies anyday. -- Bk archer 97 00:04, February 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) I prefer to vote for characters rather than enemies, and the secret room seems cooler than an enemy. Lokomo808
 * 17) The Chris Houlihan Room, a glitch can hack into Arwing's computer system.21:30, February 11, 2010 (UTC) The Minish Cap Challengers Need You...
 * 18) As cool as the Arwing is, in both games, I´m going with Chris, because it was one of the best gifts video game makers can give to their fans. Cameos are cool, but this is almost like a love letter and a homage.--The Gerudo Guy (talk) 21:55, February 11, 2010 (UTC) The Gerudo Guy
 * 19) If this guy is good enough to be in the hardest zelda game, he got my respect. The Shadow Monarch 125 (talk) 22:45, February 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 20) I can find this one without hacking so Chris gets my vote. Docter Ted
 * 21) i love this glitch. --Leked1 (talk) 21:26, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * 22) I think a glitch is better than outright hacking.  I love Star Fox but I hate hacking so this one has my vote.  --Hydropanda (talk) 22:28, February 12, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Isn't the other one form Star-fox? WELL CHRIS IS SOME HOW ZELDA RELATED!!!Also first vote...
 * 2) I don't really like to hack my game so I never saw the Arwing, and since Chris was good enough to win himself into Hyrule, he deserves to win another contest as well.

PK, I saw what you did there... --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  19:05, February 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Same. It's way more epic to be a boss in a video game though. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 19:07, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

Uhh, Redeadhunter, I doubt Chris Houlihan is a "kid" anymore. Hmm, would be hilarious or creepy if he is the same Chris87 that we all know of. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  16:39, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just because your over 18 doesn't mean your not a kid, just look at Tingle.--Redeadhunter 17:21, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * I stand corrected. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  17:25, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * If Chris Houlihan was "Chris87", believe me we'd know it. '87' likely wouldn't say it directly, but he would word the Chris Houlihan page to make the guy look like a god. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 20:54, February 8, 2010 (UTC)
