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.

Courtesy of the Rubber Pants Commandos, Zeldapedia brings to you the 103rd battle in the TEMPLE. OF. COOOOOOOOOOOURAGE! This week, we have a battle between two famous tache characters in the series who are influenced by great evil, who bestows great power upon them.

In the green corner is an ungrateful, workaday ranch-hand who saw his chance to take over Lon Lon Ranch when the King of Evil assumed control over the land of Hyrule. Beginning by kicking out his former employer, he went as far as to punish disobedient horses; however, after being defeated by the hero in a race, his evil tendencies seem to vanish and becomes a simple ranch-hand again... THIS... IS... IIIIIIIIINGOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

In the grey corner is an arrogant Twili who was refused the right to rule his people &mdash; seeing his potential, the King of Evil granted him fantastic magic powers, which he used to invade the peaceful land of Hyrule and cover the land in twilight. Cold and calculative though he appears to be, when agitated, he displays his frightening tendencies towards insanity... THIS... IS... ZAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANT!!!

And now, our two sycophantic, power-hungry servants of the King of Evil will battle it out to find out which one of them is more deserving of a place at his side! There is nothing more to say, except... LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!!!

Votes for Ingo

 * 1) Ingo's an awesome conniving dude. He has the same contempt for the lack of thanks for his hard work as I do for mowing the lawn. See, I can relate to that. Factor in his awesome mustache, uncanny resemblance to the awesomest Mario Brother and general badassness and we have a winner. As cool as Zant was, he was an inconsistent character who was, as mentioned many times in the past, thrown away unceremoniously into the trash can by the legendary Contrived Return of Gannondorf. Hmm, I doth wonder for whom Ingo the great will vote? The excitement can hardly be contained! --Auron  Kaizer !  23:42, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Well, AK already said it all... -- Deku  Stick   Master 
 * 3) AK did indeed say it all. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 23:48, June 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * AK, man, you gotta stop stealing all there is to say... - McGillivray  227  23:49, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

 * 2) AK just keeps stealing everything. Meep Meep (talk) 00:06, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) You all know how I feel about Zant...so much potentially, completely gone to waste because Nintendo was too lazy to give him any transition time between his morbidly sudden personality shifts. Ingo's pain was believable and almost relatable in some ways. Just a better character in nearly every imaginable way.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  00:08, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) AK cheats 'cause he has a head start 'cause the Fairies say "AK, here's the fight, here's what you're gonna say." --  Haru Mclean Namikaze  Anonymous.png Kana: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn
 * 5) Thsi one should be good. Ingo is great Zant is great. I like ingo and his pitchhfork mre though.--Tj hoffman (talk) 01:07, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) Ingo's race was way harder than fighting Zant.  Portal-  Kombat

 * 10) Besides everything that AK said, (which is everything), why on Hyrule wouldn't you vote for Ingo? Darax King Dodongo.png
 * 11) As easy as it is to beat up on Zant, Ingo has quite a bit going for him. He's one of the few minor characters outside of Majora's Mask with an interesting story and a dynamic personality. And as a bonus for putting him in his place, you get to keep Epona, who made navigating Hyrule field immensely more satisfying. Jedimasterlink (talk) 02:45, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) How could you not vote for Ingo? He works hard for the money so you better treat him right!!!! --Dwight
 * 13) Way 2 cool a feature. I had to make my account for Ingo. --Dragon Fire 5 (talk) 15:44, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

 * 15) INGO baby!--Love Creed (talk) 20:05, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) AK always seems to beat everyone to the punch. Oddball 464 23:50, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 17) He is cool he rocks it. He has a horse. And I like Ocarina Of Time more than Twilight Princess. User:Tuni 3
 * 18) At first I felt bad for him. He did all the work and wasn't treated fairly. Then when he started abusing horses he went from a sad character to a "well-rounded" character. Dawn Of A New Day  (is cool)  Deku Flight.png

 * 1) Cool mustache.
 * 2) He reminds me of Ali G, Booyakasha
 * 3) He works so hard on the ranch. HE IS TEH HARD WORKING INGO!
 * 4) He looks more like Luigi.
 * 5) He was actually original not like Zant who was pretty much the same as Agahnim Green Courage 18:22, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) He is the hard working ingo! He has to win.
 * 7) I always found his race very hard, while Zant's battle was quite fun.
 * 8) ingo easily

Votes for Zant

 * 1) At first, I disliked Zant; but now I actually like him. He's a cool, crazy, fun character who is as interesting as he is inconsistent. Before I had unlocked all of the characters in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, I thought that he would be a hidden character.T h e Midna Laughing.png ™  00:08, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Horse abusers are overrated. /\/\r.6r33&#124;\&#124; &#124;-&#124;@T (talk) 00:12, June 14, 2010 (UTC)Mr.Green hat
 * 3) Zant is more magical. That's all you need! -Minish   Link  00:27, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) A fight between an insane horse abuser and an insane Twili. Ingo has horses. Zant has a sword, and other awesome abilitis. Go Zant!!!--AmazingLink (talk) 00:28, June 14, 2010 (UTC)Amazing Link
 * 5) Zant used Abuse Reversal. Ingo's abused horses deal 20 HP. Ingo used Horse Whipping. It failed! Zant used AwesomeMagicalPower! Ingo deals over 9,000 HP  It's super effective! Ingo fainted. Zant got 1 EXP. -- Pie 145
 * 6) I like Ingo. But against Zant? That spooky masked madman we all know? Ganon's best puppet yet? I hesitated for a fraction of second. LunarChild (talk) 05:56, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Zant is just more diabolacly more evil... and for some reason the coolness of a charecter increases with a good name that starts with a Z. --Zoma89
 * 8) How do you compare an angry farmhand to a psychotic, fish-headed beast with insane powers and a name that starts with Z? (I agree with Zoma89 on that.)  Definitely Zant.  ZeldaQueen12
 * 9) Ingo claims to do allthe work. I call BS, all I see him do is stand around all day holding buckets and gardening tools. He only got a promotion because Ganondorf took over Hyrule. The Hard Working-Ingo indeed, he's every bit as lazy as Talon!--RedeadhunterRedead.pngContributions Edits 00:10, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) Zant. Definitely. User:Pink link
 * 11) I think Zant is WAY more evil than Ingo! Paffe and Edits 21:20, June 15 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Evil, insane, powerful, a master of dark magic, and Ingo's a loser. Until Link gets to the Palace of Twilight, Zant beats the forces of good every time. Sir Real (talk) 20:26, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) Mental breakdowns are fun!!! --Birdman5589 (talk) 05:13, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) Zant can OWN Ingo any day! --4th Shadow Link
 * 15) ... Why is Zant losing? He is Zant!!! That is Ingo!!! Here is how the battle would go. Zant glares at Ingo. Ingo fled. Here is how the awesome contest would go. The judge looks at Ingo, then looks at Zant. Zant is immediately declared the winner. This guy is one of my favorite villains of all time! Ingo is just a complaining good for nothing. Hero of Men (Talk)
 * 16) Zant would win Aura of Blue (talk) 03:09, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) He rules twilight and has an army of Shadow Beasts! Of course he'd win!
 * 2) Sudden mood switches? Insane screams and shrieks? Seemingly cool until he goes crazy? He's awesome!
 * 3) zant
 * 4) I didn't like Ingo much, but Zant... He's awesome...
 * 5) Come ON guys, this vote should already be OVER Zant PWNS!  Ingo, on the other hand, was annoying in both Ocarina of Time AND Majora's Mask!
 * 6) Zant is more eeeevil!!!!
 * 7) Well, I found his temperament pleasantly twisted. The boss battle was rather enjoyable too - "La la la la la!" as he shoots stuff at you. And his final death was excellent - eerie! "Ohhhhhhhh......." *CRACK*. Heh heh.
 * 8) Zant PWNS! He should win!
 * 9) he si better
 * 10) Zant, easily
 * 11) MEAOOOOOOOOOOOW zant. obviously.
 * 12) Zant = the king of twilight( yeye I know he aint) ingo = fat guy
 * 13) Quite an epic fight, with two insane characters yet evil too. But Zant deserves to win as he is more insane.

Come on for god sakes!! Ingo can't even fight. I want to know something. Why the hell are there so many one sided fights in the Temple of Courage?

I quite frankly don't understand this fight at all. Ingo was just an ass who got a ranch. Zant was a badass villain with crazy power....well until the end.--DarkTriforce (talk) 16:11, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Week 102: Phantom Guide vs. Seahorse
{| style ="width: 100%;" LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMEN!!! It's time for the one-hundred and second fight, brought to you by your favorite crazed group of Zelda fans! So without further ado, here's the TEMPLE OF COURAGE!!! This week's fight is one between two creatures who guide our hero. Contestant one is the Haunted Wasteland's resident ghostly guide, the other being a helpful seahorse. Let's meet our newest contestants, shall we?

In the purple corner, we have a ghastly, ghostly Poe-like guide. This creepy creature guides our hero through the whipping sandstorms past the River of Sands; However, if the hero does not follow this guide exactly, he will be lost in the storm. THIS... IS... THE PHAAAAAAAAANTOM GUIDE!!!

In the green corner is a seahorse of the same color. This seahorse, captured by a fisherman, is saved by our hero and shows him the way to Pinnacle Rock, and in doing so, helps the hero recover Lulu's Zora Eggs. THIS... IS... THE SEEEEEEEAAAHORSE!!!

Watch closely and make sure you don't lose our contestants in the maze... So LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!!!

Votes for Phantom Guide

 * 1) Mysterious. I'd be lost without this guy. I don't have the intellectual capacity to remember the entire desert path, y'know. The Seahorse is pretty cool, but their loving is a bit too saccharine for me. You know me, I like short names the best. Which has no bearing on this vote whatsoever. Also, cookies. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  01:10, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

 * 11) I don't have anything tangible to say here, really...I just like this one more.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  04:47, June 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) I like the Phantom Guide better. I can't remember the desert path. ~iNavi
 * 13) I like seahorses, they are cute, they gave me a piece of heart, and I just LOVED their blinking light above their head. Close call seahorses, but I'd go for the Guide. I like ghosts, and without this dude, I would have never beaten the game. Sorry, little cuddly sea-creatures!!!  ~A Sad Seahorse Lover, Yet a Happy Ghost One

Week 101: Dimitri vs. King of Red Lions
{| style ="width: 100%;" LLLLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMENNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!! It is with great pride that Zeldapedia Corp., Ltd. presents to you the TEMPLE OF COURAGE!!! We are ready to begin The Long and Winding Road towards another hundred fights! And we begin with a battle between two companions of the great hero who aid him in crossing troublesome waters. One contestant is a dinosaur-esque creature of some sort, and the other is an animated boat with a minds of its own. Which will be the superior flotation device? Let's see what these guys have been doing...

In the brown corner is a friendly Dodongo who aids the hero after being saved from a fate (presumably) worse than death. Aside from being able to rapidly cross water with ease, he can be picked up and thrown at enemies for damage. And whenever he's hungry, all he needs to do is chow down on some of those pesky enemies. THIS... IS... DIMIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITRIIIIIIIII!!!

In the orange corner is a talking ship who aids Link in his crossing of the Great Sea. When the wind is at his back, he sails with mighty speed, and is able to jump over small obstacles. His surprising true identity is revealed a long time after he befriends the hero, and eventually the spirit within him leaves its shell empty. THIS... IS... THE KIIIIING OF REEEEED LIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOONS!!!

Not much else to say about these two buoyant boys, so let's just fasten our set belts and LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!!!

Votes for Dimitri

 * 1) When the wind is at his back, he does NOT sail with mighty speed, the slowest boat i`ve ever seen.User:The dancing redead
 * 2) Dimitri is awesome and my favourite animal companion. The King of Red Lions... can't even look at the guy (?) without thinking of all those painful hours of sailing... Imagine, I could have used that time for something constructive, like play the CD-i games or something. Cool character, but jeez. DIMITRI is the way to go here. Dimitri! Dimitri! Dimitri! <font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  00:40, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) I always picked Ricky as my primary companion. But the fact that Dimitri can eat moblins and other enemies is too awesome to pass up. I can’t go with the king over there. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 00:36, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Eating people is just so much more fun over sailing. -  McGillivray  227  00:39, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Imma make this short, since I was edit conflicted. He's awesome. --  Haru Mclean Namikaze  Anonymous.png Kana: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn
 * 6) He's cute and red and cute and red and cute and red and cute and red and cute and red and cute. Did I mention he was cute and red?-<font color ="#68E0D0">Stars  <font color ="#187868">talk  http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/pyroac/Starssprite.gif 00:44, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) I had 2 stop and think for a few minutes but Dimitri wins.Ingo the great (talk) 00:48, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) These are both characters from the few remaining games I haven't played (plan to get to OoA and OoS next after I get through MC) but Dimitri is a Dodongo, and I like Dodongo's....so there...--UnendingForestGlade (talk) 01:17, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) 1. In my opinion, Dodongos are awesome, and dislike smoke, as evidently said by the Old Man. 2. Out of the partners Link has traveled with, Dimitri, in my opinion, is probably the most unique partners who dislike smoke . --<font color="#FF0000">Pie <font color=#000080>145
 * 10) I played this game--DarkTriforce (talk) 03:45, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) A tough choice, but a cute dinosaur vs. an annoying talking boat. I was going to choose Boaty, but I changed my mind.  Super   duh...   Alpaca Doggie Mask.gif 07:24, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Go D Meep Meep Meep (talk) 19:03, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) Dimitri is way better!Mick E (talk)
 * 14) Which would you prefer? A swimming Dodongo that can eat enemies and be thrown at them, or hours of sailing? --zdmshadow
 * 15) Although I can stand sailing because I don't get seasick, Dimitri is like the Yoshi of the Zelda series! YOSHI! DIMITRI! YOSHI! DIMITRI! They even rhyme. -- Deku  Stick   Master 
 * 16) Dimitri wins, hands down. Talking boats pale in comparisson to the might of Dimitri! It was more of a shock (and pleasant surprise) to discover and befriend this friendly dodongo. --Nayru's Maiden
 * 17) He's fun to ride, ride to fun, to fun ride, to ride fun, etc. <font color=#3ba0c5>Dawn Of A New Day  <font color=#3ba0c5>(is cool)  Deku Flight.png
 * 18) i like him more--Obi-Who (talk) 01:59, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 19) Yah he would so win, he would own the queen of sissy lionesses :) -- Michael Ryan  Talk  04:14, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 20) Dimitri would eat the KoRL, then eat everything else. --TheTrapMaster (talk) 11:58, June 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * 21) Slipping Away--Atthisclub (talk) 16:34, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 22) Dimitri Rocks--Tj hoffman (talk) 18:10, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 23) I chose Dimitri as my partner in OoS. Needless to say, he made the game a LOT easier for me. Oddball 464 18:18, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Dimitri was amazing, he had multiple abilities such as being able to go up waterfalls and eat enemies, meaning you didn't have to fight them yourself.
 * 2) Dimitri was the best animal you get have as a partner.He ate people!
 * 3) Dimitri is cool and not a stupid boat and he is even better because he eats enemies (like as said above)
 * 4) Dimitri is soo cute! And that boat never gave me any good advise..
 * 5) Who doesn't want a talking dinosaur?  What else is there to vote for, a ghost that can't even go fast? LAME. Anonymously Askorak.

Votes for The King of Red Lions

 * 1) Go King of Red Lions! What else is there to say? He's epic. Okay, done. -<font color="#B0E0E6">Minish   <font color="#003366">Link  00:36, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I actually enjoyed sailing. - Isdrakthül  00:39, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Dimitri is cool and all, but the King of Red Lions is a king (in every sense of the word) and makes a HUGE impact on the plot. Besides, his "ending" might be one of the most emotional scenes in the series as a whole  The Gerudo Guy
 * 4) A talking boat...<font color="#663300">T <font color="#996600">h <font color="#CC6600">e Midna Laughing.png ™  01:55, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) I didn't mind the sailing. It gave the world a sense of scale unlike anything else seen in the series, plus I just liked how the boat looked and how it has that conversation with Link the first time you meet it. Plus, unlike most allies Link has had over the course of his adventures, you can attack this guy with your items and sword and it'll actually react. Portal-  Kombat
 * 6) I was almost tempted to vote for Dimitri just to promote OoX stoofz, but that would not be sincere. Other people can hate on TWW sailing, but it never bothered me, and I quite liked the King of Red Lions, as much as one can possibly "like" a stereotypical mentor character at least.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  02:27, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 7) Just something about a talking boat seems so darn cool. J-man Zelda Fan (talk) 03:14, May 31, 2010 (UTC) 03:14, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) I Did NOT vote twice, for the record... the first time I tried it didn't show up... ANYWAY, the KoRL is a talking red boat which talks and has the spirit of the most kickass king ever, while Dimitri is a cheesy red dinosaur. User:AnonymousNayru
 * 9) While both are great, I'm a Ricky guy so I can't betray him. --Birdman5589 (talk) 03:19, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) I think the King of Red Lions is cooler then Dimitri. I mean, he's secretly the king of Hyrule... whats cooler then being king. --Zoma89
 * 11) Dimitri's usefullness in the oracles games is short lived. Why would you use him when you can just swim? Moosh for the win <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark  <font color="#007A00">Link 07:15, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Other than the original, the oracle games are the only games i've never played never cared about and never really have an urge to play much.  I looked up Dimitri anyway, and I suppose i can see why he is holding up so good in a fight that would probably be one sided (2-D vs 3-D= one sided usually), but he just isnt critical to the gameplay.  You use him a few times to get around a field.  The King of Red Lions you need to, quite literally, go anywhere, well, atleast anywhere except windfall. ---Tehmeganerd (talk) 11:41, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 13) KORL is the best! he had a great backstory, and without him Link never would have made of of the Forbidden fortress. Plus, I'm one of the few who actually enjoyed sailing and I think he deserves to win.--Hylianhero777 (talk) 13:17, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) As much as I love dodongos (a lot) I enjoyed sailing with the KORL more. He is a cool character that is needed for the game the entire time and I think he looks awesome. Still this was a tough vote. Darax King Dodongo.png
 * 15) The King of the Red Lions is gougerous, He has a cannon, a krane, He can jump on its own, he talks, and He is so wise!-Traveling Phoenix
 * 16) I've never heard of Dimtri, but the King of Red Lions is awesome! He made sailing fun. Chamchir9482
 * 17) The sailing is okay, but I liked his story way more. He is not as simple as he first appears to be.--  C  2  / C C  02:51, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 18) without the king of red lions link could not have sailed the largest world in a zelda game Ganondorf1994 (talk) 14:02, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 19) He has a bigger overall part in this game than dimitry ever had in his so my vote is for the king Longhorn Velez (talk) 16:09, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * 20) He's the King of Red Lions, that sounds WAY more badass than Dmitri. Jioplip
 * 21) Same as Anonomous vote no. 1! Paffe and Talk
 * 22) Epic ship is epic. --<font color="SteelBlue">Yowuza  yadderhouse | meh 17:45, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * 23) Everything I wanted to say has already been said, so I will make this short and sweet. Better game, better character, better back story. The end. Hero of Men (Talk)
 * 24) This dude fits in my "Traits Worth Yaying For". He's got AwEsOmEnEsS,EPICNESS, and just plain random(for those who don't know the "random" part, it's a boat with a voice box, for crying out loud!)! What else is there to say?    ~That other person
 * 25) This dude is just epic.  He's a talking boat, for pete's sake!  (And, no, I ain't just sayin' that cuz my fav game is WW.) -ZeldaQueen12
 * 26) His opponent is surprisingly dim-witted. Now go find me a sail. --ComeBackKing (talk) 05:54, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 27) I never minded sailing, and The King of Red Lions is a better character. Jedimasterlink (talk) 22:02, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * 28) King of red lions is better than a random dinosaur anyday. a dinosaur! User:Apeman1997
 * 29) Sailing rocks and king of red lions is the best to do it. User:greengill231
 * 30) Dmitri's pretty meh, and red lions sound like they would be awesome. Also, a talking ship. Yay. --Haingi (talk) 16:17, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * 31) korl is awesome, end of discussion--Hylian potato (talk) 23:21, June 6, 2010 (UTC)hylian potato

 * 1) Sailing around on a red talking lion boat was awesome!...I've never heard of dimitri until now
 * 2) Same as above and I kind of liked saling on him. Sailing on him is much easyer than going on a train.
 * 3) yay king of red lions! He helps a heck-of-a lot more than that dimitri dude, in fact, he's crucial to the story line!! He has my vote definitely!
 * 4) This is a boat who looks cool, gets a cameo, looks cool, has a cannon, crane, and can hold a Korok between his horns, looks cool, survives HURRICANES, and did I mention looks COOL!?
 * 5) i just hav 2 say 3-D games r just awesome, even tho, riding a dino wud be cool, but wind waker is an epic game, i also like the graphics used in the game, plus the king of red lions tru identity is like an unexpected turn, i dont no y, but 2-D games arent really awesome in caracters, but they r pretty cool in dungeons, but in overall, 3-D is better than 2-D, especailly CARTOON 3-D!!!!
 * 6) What ca I say but epic win? he's the flipping King of Hyrule disguised as this cool, TALKING BOAT with a beard. He is wise and you ride around on he stunning oceans for the vast majority of Wind Waker. He's just awesome.
 * 7) A red talking boat (that is actually remotely controlled by a person) is SO much cooler than a dodongo that can't even breath fire!  It can't even attack, unlike King of Red Lions, who has a CANNON!

Drakky, you LIKED sailing. Some people tolerate it, but you actually enjoy it?! HOW!!!  Super  duh...  Alpaca  07:28, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * Llama, you LIKE being insulted. Some people tolerate it, but you actually enjoy it?! HOW!!!  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  12:20, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I liked sailing. But it also let me do other things while Link was just sailing. --BassJapas (talk) 10:48, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

Why DOES everyone hate sailing? Its really not that bad, if a little tedious once in a while.---Tehmeganerd (talk) 11:45, May 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * I assume it's because most people run out of patience easily. The only time I found it tedious was when sailing from Windfall to Outset during the Endless Night. Otherwise, I found it relaxing. Jedimasterlink (talk) 02:41, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I liked sailing, personally, most of the time though, I just walk away and let the game sail by itself while I go make a sandwich, oddly enough I've not ever died from that. Jioplip

not trying to be rude here in any way but, i found a few errors in the intro. the sentence that describes the "combatants" starts with the words the other even though it is introducing the first. it also ends in a "?" instead of a ".". and then in dimitri's paragraph, it says he can pick up and thrown enemies instead of pick up and throw them. that is all 70.131.127.41 17:59, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

I really liked the sailing actually. And if you don't, sue me.
