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.

Week 83: Boy in the Graveyard vs. Ferrus
{| style ="width: 100%;" LLLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMEN! We are now proud to present to you the 83rd week in the TEMPLE OF COURAGE! All right! And this week, because you asked for it, we bring to you the battle of the two obsessive supporting characters! Let's meet them!

In the yellow corner, we have a small boy with a stick. Hailing from Kakariko Village, he imitates his hero Dampe, dreams of becoming more terrifying, and is destined to disappear in the near future; Give it up for the BOY IN THE GRAAAAAAAAAAAAVEYARD!

And in the blue corner, we have a young train connoisseur. Coming from the Wellspring Station, he is a master photographer, looks up to Alfonzo, and mooches off of Link: Give your support for FERRRRRRRRRRRRRRUS!

So, two young boys, both of whom have a strange obsession, shall face off tonight. But which one shall emerge the ultimate fanatic? That, my dear voters, is up to you! You all must be antsy to get voting, so LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE! Yeah!

Votes for Boy in the Graveyard

 * 1) I dunno he talks softly and carries a small to medium sized stick.--  C  2  / C C  18:19, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) He may be the Poe Seller so yeah. Ingo the great (talk) 19:18, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) His cuteness is unmatched by his opponent! - McGillivray227 talk)
 * 4) I used to like this kid when I first started playing OoT. And if my theory is correct, he's the young version of the Poe Seller, and that guy is great. Oddball 464 22:45, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) I'm going to be weird and vote for who would win in an actual fight. That stick looks like a much more effective weapon than that tripod, and the Boy in the Graveyard just seems more likely to be aggressive. Jedimasterlink (talk) 22:47, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I like Ferrus, but his fanboyism felt a bit overdone at times. Besides, any kid that aspires to be a gravekeeper in a haunted graveyard and worships a hunchback is freaking hardcore.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  00:30, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) This brings back a ton of memories from when I was 9. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 03:14, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) I hearby welcome this kid to the Death Police.--RH 04:23, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Creepy little kids with sticks are awesome. Ocarina of Time is fully of creepy little kids and he may be one of the creepiest in the game =DDDDD --Stars!
 * 10) That kid is awsome how can anyone not vote for him (aye haz teh be5t argum3nt)--Gbadude3 (talk) 15:37, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) i thought that spirit tracks was way too easy (i beat it in the equivalent of three days)Devdude (talk)
 * 12) This guy is kinda funny in my opinion. Gotta love the scary crowd. Sincerely, Watcher.
 * 13) I am neautral about this, but OoT was WAY better. Link64
 * 14) i like the poe salesman. i like this kid. the fact that he may be the poe salesman rockets him to victory. Fooster
 * 15) For one:I haven't played SP. and two: Ferrus is just a little...odd.Green hat (talk) 22:00, January 27, 2010 (UTC)Mr.Green hat
 * 16) Ferrus was annoying, and always wanted a ride from you, out of anyone, why you? The Boy in the Graveyard at least doesn't send you out just to drop him off, and pick him up, 3 TIMES!  Sandflyer83 (talk) 23:01, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * 17) I like this little guy. It's awesome that Dampe is an idol to someone. Heck, he'd probably be my idol. What am I saying? He IS my idol! Docter Ted
 * 18) This guy plays a part in the Happy Mask side quest. The masks are some of my favorite items in the game. Boy in the Graveyard gets my vote. TheUltimateHokage88 (talk) 01:45, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

Anonymous votes

 * 1) anyone who likes hanging out with dead people is a friend of mine.
 * 2) His idol is one of the coolest guys in the game. Plus, wasn't too happy with Spirit Tracks
 * 3) in retaliation to anon voter number 2 for ferrus, grave kid is cooler than that pain in the butt in the new game.  Is it just me or does Feruus look like a boy scout?
 * 4) AND LETS HERE IT FOR THE BETTER GAME! Better game, and better characters.
 * 5) The fact that this kid plays in a graveyard screams he is a future Michael Moore.
 * 6) I could become rich off the poe salesman, and if that turns out to be thiskid (and rumor has it he IS the poe salesman), I've gotta go with him.
 * 7) I love this lil boy. I mean, he's so adorable, and he tries to be like his role model, Dampe. That's just so cute in my opinion. :)
 * 8) Ive met this kid in ocarina of time and ive never played spirit tracks

Votes for Ferrus

 * 1) Ferrus is acually helpful, unlike that little it with a stick. Plus he dosent disapear. Whoever worships a hunched backed, crossed eyed drunkard, is ethier a drug addict or has no life. ~Litlit123me
 * 2) He found me a Regal Ring. Bit useless since they can be so easily obtained at the lost at sea station but its the thought that counts Oni Dark  Link 18:54, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) His opponent creeps me out, and he is nice.  Ray Talk 2 me 19:27, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Because of the Regal Ring, and the fact that his quest revealed a pair of boss tanks that I had to battle, one of which boarded my train. I wouldn't have found any of that stuff otherwise.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 5) OH EM GEE! I LOVE FERRUS! --Auron  Kaizer !  19:50, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I guess I'll vote for Ferrus, since he did get me some treasure... --Ceiling Master (talk) 20:39, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Ferrus reminds me a lot of myself, except I'm a Zelda fanatic instead of a "trainiac". He even looks kind of like me. And I do love myself, so I've got to vote for this guy.-- MaloMart  ( talk ) Malo.png 20:44, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) he's actually important in the story--DarkTriforce (talk) 21:58, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Ferrus is actually a very cool guy, since his personality is weird but but can be related to. Meanwhile, what kind of kid is obsessed with graveyards and waves sticks around? -- Deku Stick   Master 
 * 10) I doubt I'd have found out about the warp portals without the memos in his house. Diachronos (talk) 23:50, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) HE'S ACTUALLY HELPFUL, UNLIKE THAT OBNOXIOUS KID. --Sir Real
 * 12) He has to be the greatest minor character of all time. His tripod has a longer reach than a stick and he could blind the graveyard kid with the flash from his camera so we would easily win a real fight. --Birdman5589 (talk) 19:42, January 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) Unlike the graveyard boy, Ferrus is actually helpful with a regal ring, tips, and force gems. --User:BlazeSandraal 16:40, January 25, 2010
 * 14) Ferrus is way cooler than that annoyance in the graveyard. Minish Link 20:04, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) Ferrus is really cool. He isn't rally that obsessive, and gives you a lot of free (you have to drop him off at certain places) stuff! -- Bk archer 97 17:16, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) He doesn't want to become an old man who I first thought it was a ReDead. And he has a name.User:Snakeboss14
 * 17) Ferrus...heh..get it? Iron. Ferrus. Heh. Funny. 98.148.181.155 18:48, January 30, 2010 (UTC)

Anonymous votes

 * 1) He's pretty much cooler than that graveyard boy
 * 2) He helps you to avoid angry people getting off the train with his tips. He also gives you a Force Gem and a treasure. Finally, he is much more important character than the boy in the graveyard (you can clear the game without even talking to that boy).
 * 3) Ferrus is an awesome character - he certainly made me laugh!
 * 4) Ferrus is so cool and he actually plays a big role on the game. he's also really funny and makes the game even more enjoyable.
 * 5) Ferrus rocks he makes me laugh all the time he is now my new nickname! yay!!
 * 6) Ferrus knows how to be a stalker when that little...thing can't even leave a graveyard.
 * 7) Spirit tracks ferrus da win! (Sorry, i just had to.)
 * 8) 1. i agree with vote 2 (anonymous) 2.i love spirit tracks:)!

The Link of Spirit Tracks isn't the Hero of Winds.-- MaloMart ( talk )  18:43, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

How the h*** did this of all fights end up being a game vs. game fight? I mean, seriously? You're voting for BitG because he's in the "better" game?  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  01:21, January 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * It took me a moment to figure out that acronym.-- MaloMart ( talk ) Malo.png 01:22, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * It took me less than one moment to figure out that aardvark. --Auron  Kaizer !  06:51, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

WTF? I signed my vote and now its anonymous? RECOUNT!--ComeBackKing
 * You actually did not sign your vote and that is why it was moved. If you want it to count you must actually sign your name by clicking the signature button at the top of the edit screen and not just simply write "ComeBackKing" at the end of your vote. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 17:25, January 29, 2010 (UTC)

How are these two character's alike? Mr kmil 19:52, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * They are both fanboys. One is loves Dampe while the other loves Alfonzo. They both always carry around their trusty tools. One carries a stick while the other his camera and tripod. And there are more. You just need to look at it at a deeper level.--Birdman5589 (talk) 20:02, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uhhh, you could look at the fight intro for a clue, seeing as it kind of describes the fight and what it's about, the way intros are, um, supposed to be.....  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  21:11, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I thought they were about embarrasing extrapolation and unfunny sight gags? --Auron  Kaizer !  22:27, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * How do you do sight gags in a written piece?-- MaloMart ( talk ) Malo.png 23:27, January 28, 2010 (UTC)

Week 82: Boomerang Dealer vs. Secret Moblin
{| style ="width: 100%;" LLLLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN! This week's fight is a SECRET TO EVERYBODY. And you know what I mean when I say EVERYBODY. It's a ferocious duel between two well-hidden characters who give Link useful items and money. Draw your eyes to the center ring!

In the orange corner is a diminutive Goriya who trades certain items with whomever finds his secret hideout at the beach. Holder of the all-powerful Boomerang and a remnant of a deleted type of enemy from Link's Awakening, it's the ever-so-imaginately named BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMERANG DEEEEEEEEEEEEALERRRRR!!!

In the black corner is a legendary and mysterious figure who, despite being of a race that commonly are enemies of Link, gives the hero money in exchange for keeping his hiding place(s) a secret. Nobody knows whether or not there is only one or if there are several different ones, but either way, it's the SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECRET MOOOOOOOOOOOOBLIN!

Feel free (or do it if you want to live) to trade the item in your B-Button at the concession stand! LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMBBBBBBBBBBBLE!!!

Votes for Boomerang Dealer

 * 1) Money is cool and good for the inflated ego and all that, but the Boomerang in LA is the most powerful weapon in any game ever. Makes up for the lame prize at the end of the trading quest too.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  01:20, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) As much as I love the Secret Moblin (or any LoZ character for that matter), I love boomerangs and this is guy gives you the best one by far. --Birdman5589 (talk) 01:59, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) for me it came down to a question of do i prefer money or bommerangs then i realized that u can get money with boomerangs:)Devdude (talk) 06:14, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) i like LA a lot more then LOZ, And the boomerang dealer gives you the best item in the game. That definitly beats some money--Ironknuckle1 15:58, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) I know we should vote based on the character but th=e boomerang in that game surpasses Light Arrows! (and since we can vote based on a fight I can say the Boomerang dealer has the boomerang which he can use to destroy the secret Moblin in one hit) Oni Dark Link 17:00, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I DEFINATLEY have to go for old Boomy. Rupees are everywhere, but a one-hit kill boomerang is priceless. User:Hidden Link
 * 7) I guess I'll go with this guy, since I kind of have a grudge against all Moblins right now, friendly or not, and I've always liked the Boomerang. Ceiling Master (talk) 19:03, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) He gives the better prize. Evidently, that is as secret to everybody voting for the Secret Moblin, =P. Jedimasterlink (talk) 14:28, January 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Although the Secret Moblin is a Zelda classic, I'd rather have a boomerang than money. Oddball 464 03:10, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) the boomerang is more valuable Ingo the great (talk) 00:14, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) The boomerang is the best item in Link's Awakening. It can one-hit KO the final boss! Can rupees do that? TheUltimateHokage88 (talk)
 * 12) i personally love the boomerang and any one who gives you one is ok in my book.Fooster (talk)

 * 1) It's like asking this: would you rather have 100 dollars, or a nuke? I am taking a leaf out of that one guy who says 'nuff said's book, I SHALL NOW USE AN EXTREMELY ANNOYYING CATCH PHRASE! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHH! -Still insane at the moment


 * 1) You can kill the final boss with a boomerang in LA. I'd like to see you secret moblin fans do that with rupees.
 * 2) Hmmm, let's see. A slightly maniacal weapons dealer of a secretive fuzzball? Difficult question, it is. - Yoda
 * 3) A boomerang is better than money.

Votes for Secret Moblin

 * 1) Dude, come on. When I first found one of his hiding places, I thought for sure he was going to kill me and make a screaming chair out of my bones, but the guy just...gave me money instead and insulted the English language. That's even scarier, when you think about it. Also, it's Pippy, the creepiest character in The Legend of Neil. The Boomerang Dealer's Boomerang sure kicks butt, but it's an optional butt-kicking. Well, so is this but WHATEVER I wanna vote for the Secret Moblin. --Auron  Kaizer !  01:08, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY. -- Deku  Stick   Master 
 * 3) The Boomerang was a better item but this guy is cooler character overall.-- MaloMart  ( talk ) Malo.png 01:50, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Far more infamous. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 01:51, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

 * 6) This monster words could not be truer. ComeBackKing
 * 7) Uh? Moblins are just plain awesome. Ray Talk 2 me 14:29, January 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) This guy is a legend in itself. While the boomerang guy gives you quite a treat, this memetastic moblin took a special place in many a gamer´s heart´s.--The Gerudo Guy (talk) 16:33, January 18, 2010 (UTC) The Gerudo Guy
 * 9) The boomerang dealer is awesome 'n all, butbutbut how can you NOT vote for the Secret Moblin?!--Stars! xxx

 * 13) Link almost told everyone about the Secret Moblin before he remembered his eternal vow of silence.--RH 03:41, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) Because he has the word "secret" in his name. =P --<font color="SteelBlue">Yowuza  yadderhouse | meh 16:06, January 20, 2010 (UTC)

 * 17) it was hard choosing between a guy that gives you money and a guy that gives you a weapon, but i think this guy is better! User:Doubleg2x 16:21, January 22, 2010
 * 18) IT'S A SECRET WHO I WILL VOTE FOR. OR MAYBE NOT. The Midna  ( talk )  Midna Laughing.png 03:07, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 19) Most people on the other side are voting simply based on the reward from intereacting with the character, not the character himself. The fact of the matter is, the Secret Moblin is not just a classic character, but a cult-classic character with a matching cult-classic tagline. Also, the Boomerang Dealer owes its existence to the Secret Moblin, as both are creatures that are common enemies of Hyrule, and yet here are a couple of individuals that defy that common enmity to help Link out - but the Secret Moblin is the original. The Boomerang Dealer is essentially a reference to that cult-classic original. --WarlockPuncher
 * 20) Heh. Powerful weapon or money. I choose money.--  C  2  / C C  18:11, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) It is a classic character. It also gives you money (which is very valuable considering the original's 250-or-so limit). IT'S A SECRET TO EVERYBODY.
 * 2) I love money. 'Nuff said. :)
 * 3) Money's so hard to get in this game, and Moblins are awesome.

I just noticed that I haven't voted for the winning side for 7 weeks straight now. And it looks like this will be the 8th week. I find that both extremely amusing and slightly irritating at the same time.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  01:56, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Votes for Mothula

 * 1) Mothula is technically my least favorite miniboss from TWW, but I just found Stagnox boring...not to mention she has no thorax that I can see. And yes, Stagnox is female because she releases larvae from her abdomen. Speaking of which, she should be laying eggs, but that's a flaw Mothula has too, so I'll let that one slide.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  18:38, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I don't know why, but I found that Mothula is better because bug... things it shoots out. It's like one gives you its weakness, Stagnox, while the other tries to be an annoying miniboss. Mothula just was a better miniboss, then Stagnox was as a boss! - McGillivray227 '''(talk)
 * 3) Fighting Mothula was always more fun, and much more fast-paced. I got bored of Stagnox like I got bored of the train after I fought him four times in Take 'Em All On.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 4) Stagnox was the most pathetic boss every. She would have been better as a mini-boss. Mothula on the other hand is at least puts up a fight. --Birdman5589 (talk) 23:58, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) The mothulas were just my favorite Wind Waker enemies. I'd use more of my twisted humor, but I don't feel like it.--RH 02:18, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I thought Mothula was fun to fight. I don't have any Stagnox experience, but...I don't know. Nothing seems appealing about it. Besides, it's fun to set Mothulas on fire with the Fire Arrow... Jedimasterlink (talk) 03:14, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) im only on this side because i loved the black spike ball things they were amusing to watch link walk around with like 20 on him then use a spin attack cuz they all flew off in different directions and explodedDevdude (talk) 05:34, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) Pshhhh. Stagnox isn't so great. I like the old school minibosses.Draconicus (talk) 23:22, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) This monster is what you get when you cross a moth with a jet engine. I finally have a blueprint to work from!-- Lapis of  the Night  06:32, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) Mothula rules. Which reminds me, why are people getting so riled up about this? It doesn't even matter. This thing was made to have fun. If you're not having fun, then leave. BTW, did I mention, Mothula Rules? -- Deku tulla  ZM  21:53, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Mothulamothulamothulamothula
 * 2) Mothula is an awsome creature. this was one of the most annoying creatures in the game. the fly just out of reach and consistently charge down to ram its foes. it also hampers its foes with little spiked balls the weigh you down. the only pathetic detail is when you chop off its wings, its a reletively easy creature (which after a lot of frustration, you may consider it a reward to mercelesly kill that monster that was bugging you before).
 * 3) Honestly, Stagnox wasn't really that difficult a boss. Mothula isn't a boss, but Stagnox, in my opinion, waas a bit too easy to kill.
 * 4) Mothula is just better
 * 5) Killing Stagnox for the 8th time in Take 'Em All On made me more than bored by him. At least Mothulas can be annoying.
 * 6) Mothula rocks. 'Nuff said.
 * 7) Stag beatles are lame/ while moths look scary
 * 8) Mothula has a cooler roar, its smaller and faster than stagnox, you have to actually WORK to kill mothula, it can impare your movements with those spiney things at the same time being faster than stagnox so double win :), and finally mothula just looks cooler than stagnox... boomerang!

Votes for Stagnox

 * 1) Stagnox's boss battle is the epitome of all that is awesome in the DS Zeldas. instawin. ShadowDialga (talk) 23:53, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Mothula is cool. Okay, he IS cool. But Stagnox- STAGNOX. I mean, you can just hear the "I'm awesome and I'm out to get you" in his name. If it ends in an X, it's awesome. Stagnox is so tough it takes SPIKED BOMB BUG THINGS to kill him. Yeah. -Minish Link
 * 3) Mothula is, like, a lame pun on Dracula or something. Stagnox is so awesome he has become a saying on the shoutbox. Enough said. Let's just end the ToC right now. Good? Good. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  14:15, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) The fact that Mothula can be felled in one hit and the fact that Stagnox is pure epicness its no wonder my vote goes this way. Stagnox has to be one of the best first bosses in the game. (although Aquamantis is pretty epic too) <font color="66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark  <font color="#007A00">Link 14:33, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) I would almost vote for Mothula, but you do anything and Mothula shoots those pine cone things at you. Stagnox has class, he ALMOST hits you with those...oh my THEY ARE WHAT? ComeBackKing
 * 6) Stag Beetles pwn Moths anyday. Giant Stag Beetles still epically pwn Giant Moths. Just look at him. HE'S A GIANT STAG BEETLE. Whats not to like? - Stars xxx
 * 7) I HATE moths, and Stagnox´s battle is WAY more epic and fun. Although, Mothula is OK, but Stagnox takes the price in here. --The Gerudo Guy (talk) 19:37, January 12, 2010 (UTC) The Gerudo Guy
 * 8) Mothra and Dracula? I don't think so. Stagnox is a boss and Mothula is a mini-boss with pathetic children without wings. Stagnox takes the win for being a fresh approach to old tactics. User:HeroofAwesome
 * 9) Stag Beetles > Moths. BTW, those "Spiked bomb bug things" are called Blastworms. -- DekuStick  Master
 * 10) Stagnox was cool. Very intimidating. Awesome music, too. In fact, I've beaten him several times, thanks to Take 'Em All On. I've never played Wind Waker, anyway. (But I want to!) Ceiling Master (talk) 20:58, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) Don' t have anything against Mothula, but Stagnox is way cooler. I mean, where else can you find a giantic insect so awesome that it makes Blastworms come out of nowhere? --Pkmns (talk) 20:59, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) I haven't played WW but Stagnox really made me realize that Spirit was gonna be awesome.--DarkTriforce (talk) 00:31, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) Stagnox was a great first boss to a awesome new game, and mothula was just a regular enemy used as a mid boss,so my vote is for stagnox!--Doubleg2x 20:37, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) I like this boss in Spirit tracks much better Wind wake. Tabs34
 * 15) He is a fun boss battle, I hate battling Mothula...  Ray Talk 2 me 21:07, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) Stagnox requires the use of the Whirlwind, which was the first truly innovative use of the DS microphone for the LoZ series.  Mothula, on the other hand, moved slightly too fast for you to hit well, and you didn't get the Boomerang, which happens to be the most effective item against it, until after you beat him the first time.  Stagnox FTW!--primalGanon 21:50, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 17) Stagnox is a stag beetle while mothula is just a moth. *#*#*#enso8#*#*#* (talk) 16:58, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 18) Stanox is a boss, Mothula is a mini boss........Enough said BetweenBlack&White
 * 19) Mothula is okay but all it takes to kill it is one fire arrow! Just one! Also Stagnox can be a little hard for first time Zelda players. Linkmanperson
 * 20) Stagnox. Just TRY and tell me he is even CLOSE to as annoying as (shudders) Mothula. STAGGY ALL THE WAY! Hidden Link

 * 1) What do you think will win? A giant stag beetle or a pathetic moth?
 * 2) Stagnox is a boss.
 * 3) Think about it, A collassal Beetle with armour that can fly or a moth that lays eggs /babiz and fly!!!
 * 4) Being annonomous voter number three from last fight, even though i am insane, i must still fight for the boss, not an annoying miniboss.-Meep Meep
 * 5) I just think stagnox is way cooler.-Phantom Zelda
 * 6) Stagnox is just a lot better to fight. Plus, Stagnox. It just sounds REALLY cool and awesome. - Phantom Momo

Isn't Stagnox a Boss?
 * You has a good point. Under pressure, I get stuff like that wrong a lot of the time. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  14:38, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

This is why I hate bug fights. We can tell Mothula and Stagnox are both female because they release larvae from their abdomens. It's obvious, I would think. Yet people still insist on using male pronouns.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  18:38, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

They could be marsupeals and keep their young in hidden pouches. <font color="66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 19:19, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Possible, but realistically unlikely given that their real-life counterparts do nothing of the sort. Nintendo probably isn't smart enough to do stuff like that anyway. Besides, if you're going to assume a gender when using gender specific pronouns, it's better to use the one that is 70% more likely, in this case that the two are female.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  19:24, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Id say Mothula would be female but Stagnox just looks very like an angry male. Look at those eyes. And as you said they should be laying eggs anyway so it doesnt make much sense all round. <font color="66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 19:26, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Are you serious? You're basing the gender of a BEETLE on the assumptions of how can find the gender of a HUMAN? That is beyond absurd. And as I said (and gave reasons for), it makes far more sense than them being male.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  19:29, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is no way we can really know for sure <font color="66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 19:32, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, they never explicitly tell us Armogohma's gender. Maybe it's really a male that lays eggs even though that makes no sense but you know it's possible because Hyrule doesn't follow the same rules as the real world. That's the kind of logic you're using here.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  19:36, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes thats the exact logic im using <font color="66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 19:38, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  19:40, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's weird. That's exactly my what my answer would be. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  20:37, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Seahorse males are the ones that give birth. It could be something like that, or maybe the bugs are asexual. Or maybe it's a freaking video game.-- MaloMart ( talk ) Malo.png 23:09, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Like I said. Certainly possible but unlikely given the situation.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  00:03, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

The Gohma from OoT is called Queenie by the deku scrubs and she does have larva come out into battle if you take to long to beat her (I think), so the laws of nature (at least in our world) are in effect in that case at least.Zoma89
 * But in general natural laws dont make sense. I mean look at how different each gohma incarnation is. They range from being the boss of a tree to being the boss of a volcano. Having six legs or having sixty. <font color="66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 21:45, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Uhhhhhh.....what exactly is your point? If anything, you're noting evolution occurring with Gohmas, which is a natural law (or at least for the people that aren't creationists).  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  00:03, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Your both at fault here. Even comparing natural laws to something like Zelda is just......ehh? Xykeb is right from a real-world stand point, and Oni is right from a in-game standpoint. Thusly, your both wrong and stuck in an impass.-- C  2  / C C  00:43, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thats actually false. You can be a creationist and believe in evolution. Your thinking of the Old Testament vs. modern science. And on that note this is the worst ToC we have ever had in my opinion and I will not be voting. How it even went through is beyond me, seeing as it was removed the other day. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 00:44, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Whatever, then evolution is a natural law in all respects. And CC....nah, I'm not even going to say it. I give up. Believe what you want. I'm done. And while I don't particularly care for the fight, I wouldn't say it's the worst one we've ever had. Of course, what I consider the worst one we've ever had is considered one of the best by some people, so I guess that's kind of a moot point.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  00:52, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Did it deal with a game vs. dungeon? --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 00:56, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's exactly it.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  01:02, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's was the voting in the suggestions that got us here. We need to lighten up, and treat the suggestions as suggestions, not as a main event. It kinda detracts from the ToC with me. -- C  2  / C C  01:05, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

I hate this fight. Its an obvious mismatch. It would have been better if it was Mothula from LttP, which I as I recall was a hard fight. What do other people think about that? ComeBackKing
 * Well, obviously people liked it enough for it to go through, but personally I don't care for it either, and apparently Joe thinks it's the worst fight we've ever had. As for the ALttP Mothula, that would have even less similarities than this one and so I think it would be worse, to be honest. The thing for me is that Mothula and Stagnox in general just don't seem that similar to me. I mean, they have similarities, but none of them are obvious and you almost have to root around for them.
