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.

 Warning : 'Do not include spoilers about Skyward Sword'' in your votes. The game is still new, and presumably many have still not completed it. Such votes will be removed. If your vote is removed, you are allowed to add a new, spoiler-free vote.'''

Week 156: Dodoh vs. Falbi
{| style ="width: 100%;" LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AAAAAAAAAAAAAND GENTLEMEN!!! It is our pleasure to bring you the 156th bi-annual lunatic clown face off week in the TEMPLE. OF. COOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE!!! This week's duel is that between two of the most loved clown characters in the Zelda series. Let's meet them now.

In the lovely pink corner is a round, happy-go-lucky fellow residing on the colorful wonderland that is Fun Fun Island, where he hosts a very fun minigame. However, before our hero can play this, he must help this man recover his lost, beloved Party Wheel, which has fallen to the Surface. After he has done so, our hero can continue playing the game (for a small fee), and getting a perfect score will reward him with a Piece of Heart. Happy to see you, THIS. IS. DOOOOOOOOOOOOOODOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!!!

In the hot pink corner we have a flamboyant man who operates a minigame in which our hero grabs helpless Cuccos and uses them to glide across Lake Hylia to attempt to land on a high platform; it is here that he can obtain numerous prizes, including 100 Rupees and a Piece of Heart. Taking your money, THIS. IS. FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALBIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!

Which one of these dreadful ...er, happy minigame operators will win this duel to the death? Only you can decide. With that out of the way, LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RRRRRRRRRRRRRUMMMMMMMMMBLLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

Votes for Dodoh

 * 1) Dodoh is probably my least favorite character in the series for a whole beautiful plethora of reasons, and that is a high honor, so...he gets my vote. Yay. -Minish   Link   16:21, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Hmmmm... While they both remind me of Tingle, Dodoh's look of crestfallen depression is priceless, or maybe I'm just vindictive... Regardless, the whole Scrapper sidequest was cool so Dodoh, my vote is yours. -- Abraham  link  oln  19:06, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) At least Dodoh has the decency to completely cover his body. Ew. &mdash;Ceiling Master (talk) 20:35, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Here's the difference between Dodoh and Falbi, Falbi is SCARY. One look at him and he makes my insides all creepy crawly and what not. Dodoh is just pitifully stupid, but he doesn't make me want to stop playing the game, points to him. Kapodaco! (talk) 04:40, January 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) I thought I wouldn't like Dodoh when I first saw him but as I got to know him he didn't grate my nerves at all. Neither did Falbi for that matter but worse still I found Falbi thoroughly unnoteable. To an extent I liked Dodoh he had enough characterization to become sad while Falbi is noting more than the Cuccoo clown guy above Lake Hylia with no real noticable traits Oni Dark Link 00:39, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Anonymous votes

 * 1) Anyone who votes for this guy gets paid imaginary money. What? The one time I tried playing his minigame, that's what I got. And as for the other guy... ugh.
 * 2) He's weird. I like that.
 * 3) Because one day, he might just fall off his island. The other guy has his damn birds.
 * 4) They're Both, Terrible, really, just awful tingle ripoffs but this guy has a sidequest which is, kinda worth it, and yeah. Whoever made this the Temple pf courage battle should see a therapist
 * 5) I kinda dislike voting for either character, but Dodoh get's my vote, since he looks so sad in his entrance-pic. And he is not as scary as the other clown.. Who's next? That guy with the bullet bill on his shirt?
 * 6) When this guy lost his Party Wheel, I'll admit, I actualy felt a twinge of pity for Dodoh.

Votes for Falbi

 * 1) Let me put it this way: Dodoh is the only character in the series that has prompted me to shut off the volume on my television. Even Falbi (and Tingle, for that matter) are only capable of eliciting minor shudders. Dodoh's half luck-based minigame was also quite scarring. Jedimasterlink (talk) 20:24, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Falbi is just plain weird and ugly, but that is what makes the Zelda series what it is. My vote goes to the weirdest Zelda character, Falbi. (I don't think Tingle is that weird.) --Hoshii no Kaabii (talk) 05:27, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

I really don't want either of these to win, preferably they would both fall to their dooms from their respective minigames, not being saved by their pet birds. Not gonna vote, unless to make it a tie. Ike 17:25, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

This week's fight is between two deadly, parasitic and ridiculously controlling fiends found within the stomachs of sea creatures. Brace yourself and let's meet them now.

In the purple corner we have an enormous anemone found deep within the insides of the legendary deity Lord Jabu-Jabu. On the hero's quest to obtain the Zora's Sapphire, he plunges within the creature's stomach to find the missing Princess Ruto; however, she has lost the Sapphire, and requests our hero find it. On his path to do so, he finds this bio-electric creature and battles it, finally defeating it and returning Lord Jabu-Jabu to normal. Bio-electrifyingly exciting, THIS. IS. BAAAAAAAAAAAARIIIIIINAAAAAAAAAAAAADE!!!

In the light red corner is an ocular-oriented organism that has found its way into the sky spirit Levias. On our hero's journey to uncover the missing parts of the "Song of the Hero", he visits Levias, bringing an offering of Pumpkin Soup; however, the delicious treat has no effect, as Levias is possessed by this creature. After our hero defeats it, Levias is returned to his calm state. From the inside of a sky whale, THIS. IS. BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIILOCYYYYYYYYYTE!!! Which one of these controlling creatures will succeed in their plight? Will one possess the other? Will they possess you, dear reader? And will we find out why it is they so much like whales? This is all up to you. Keep your mouths closed and LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Barinade

 * 1) I... er... still haven't started Skyward Sword But I've spent many times in Jabu Jabu's Belly and many times preventing going in there I WAS YOUNG! –  Jä  zz  i  16:29, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) It just seemed like a more interesting boss to me. --Nevermind0309 (talk) 23:13, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) I've just always enjoyed Barinade as a boss. More so then Bilocyte. Not that there was anything particularly wrong with Bilocyte I just like Barinade better. Oni Dark Link 01:37, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Why do I like him better? I don't know, but it's always nice to stick with the classics. Kapodaco! (talk) 06:18, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Again, I'm supporting Ocarina, as it's been a while since I've seen an Ocarina character win. That and I can't get enough of Barinade's death animation. So... Peculiar... -- Abrahamlinkoln  ( talk ) 13:59, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Barinade is more memorable to me, even if it's damn near impossible to lose the fight unlike Bilocyte. I always imagined I killed a corrupted vital organ of Jabu-Jabu's, thus causing his death in the future. And casually sidestepping bio-electricity, like some BAMF straight from The Matrix, is awesome. Death sequence, also legendary in its grossness. The Bilocyte fight was too gimmicky, and perhaps the least memorable fight from its game (though this may owe to its non-appearance in the Lightning Round). --Auron  Kaizer !  01:15, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) If Barinade did more damage, I'd genuinely have had trouble from it, whereas Bilocyte's battle was just... too simple, too small scale once I figured out what to do. More like a miniboss, but actually less deadly. Also Barinade (sounds like a sports drink, hah) had a pretty awesome look and the best ever death sequence to squick people out! WOT FUN, EH? --Naxios10 (talk) 12:00, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * 8) OOT that's why--Oathkeeper250 (talk) 14:36, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * 9) Bilocyte just didn't seem like a very interesting fight to me. Barinade, on the other hand, made me think, "oh my god, he's actually shooting electro-beams at me! And wtf, he's using those baris as a shield and weapon at the same time! and ewwww, he swelled up and exploded in a shower of green goo!" and is one of my personal favorite bosses. yay for parasite gore!

 * 1) I actually had trouble fighting him. As for the other guy, the battle may have been the easiest in the game; it was even easier than some enemies (and it was a late game battle, too!). That's including the rematches.
 * 2) ARGH!! Barinade!! He almost made me throw the controller to the tv in anger!! I beat him in the end with only a 1/4 of a heart left.. That eye thingy was not hard, as soon as I figured out how to land on the wind fish' head.. Barinade for the win!!  I vote for Barinade because he is the only boss that really made me mad. and because i have no idea who the other is.
 * 3) No clue who the other guy is. Barinade was really easy but still fun.
 * 4) Never played SS sooooo as much as this guy pissed me off when i fought him BARINADE BARINADE BARINADE (ahhhhhhhh) *Domin8or*
 * 5) Barinade is my favorite boss from OoT actually, and I have never heard of the other guy. Oh and message to whoever keeps track of this Temple of Courage, UPDATE THE FIGHTS EVERY WEEK, not every month! the Beatrux and Fabulously rich family were fighting for like more than a month.
 * 6) Barinade all the way. OoT is my fave, and I'm only part way through SS. Practically didn't sleep last night because I didn't realize how late it was while I was playing. But still Barinade. Jabu-Jabu was one of my fave dungeons. Plus Ruto's a babe.
 * 7) I don't know the other guy but Barinade was one of my favorite boss battles in OoT. Someone who I don't know or someone I love? Yeah, my choice is pretty clear here.
 * 8) YES, I actually know who Bilocyte is. But he was kinda too easy for a boss fight as you've traveled this far. I mean, The Imprisoned's second battle was way harder than this! Plus, Barinade knew to protect herself with a rotating jellyfish barrier and it was a great question of timing. For Bilocyte, you only had to swing in the right direction, and SOMETIMES (still very rarely), he was trying to trick you. BARINADE ALL THE WAY!!!
 * 9) NOTE: I'm really sorry if I already voted, I have a really bad memory, but BARINADE FTW! I have no idea who the hell the other guy is.
 * 10) Barinade was definitely the best boss of the first three, to beat him you have to constantly move, and focus. It kept me on the edge everytime and was definitely better than Bioctyle

Votes for Bilocyte

 * 1) I have Skyward Sword, but I haven't gotten to this point in the game yet. I think Jabu Jabu's Belly is the easiest dungeon in Ocarina of Time, including the boss, Barinade. But I think Barinade just isn't a cool boss. --Hoshii no Kaabii (talk) 00:59, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Bilocyte actually has an eye. How can Barinade see Link? --Ceiling Master (talk) 17:47, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Bilocyte was actually fun and Barinade was really boring, plus I hated Inside Jabu-Jabu's belly. -Minish   Link   19:37, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Bilocyte was easy but genuinely entertaining. Barinade, despite looking awesome, was a relatively boring boss fight. Also, the effects of Bilocyte were at least obvious, as opposed the mind control of a personality-less fish that loiters around a pond all day. Xykeb  Yvolix   Zraliv  05:48, December 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Barinade is one of my least favorite bosses in the series. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 16:29, December 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Inside Jabu-Jabu's belly is my least favorite OoT dungeon, and Barinade is part of the reason I never cared for it. Jedimasterlink (talk) 08:21, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * 7) They were both easy, but Bilocyte was at least fun to battle. Lord Fabulous (talk) 22:00, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * 8) I thought that Barinade was a lot harder, but I really hated how Jabu-Jabu just sat there after you fought to free him. He was less of a diety and more of an overgrown whale stuck in a pond that the local populace decided to worship. Levias on the other hand, is actually pretty awesome, and you didn't have to go in him to save him.  Ike  02:19, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * 9) I hated soooo much Barinade. It was a pain, but at least Bilocyte is not annoying. User:Pucho00
 * 10) Bilocyte has had a great come from behind. User:Coolkat100, 10:58, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * 11) It is better to fight something on a flying whale than inside an obese fish. --Birdman5589 (talk) 15:25, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

 * 1) Well, I have to say, Barinade gave me more of a challange, because of cruddy aiming with the Boomerang and that the game makes you have almost the same amount of heart containers as you start off in Skyward Sword, BUT! Bilocyte  makes you think before you swing, then learns to soon hide parts of himself from attack, when Barinade is just the classic "cut the ropes with the bommerang then hack away" system that reappers later in the Wind Waker when you battle Kalle Demos and Puppet Ganon. Bilocyte has my vote.
 * 2) Bilocyte pissed me off a hell of a lot more than Barinade.
 * 3) This boss is from Skyward Sword! That's an automatic WIN in my book. Also, you have to think about the angle of your sword before yo strike. Also, Jabuu-Jabuu just grossed my out! Lets see... inside a wierd whale-like thing that doesn't help you at ALL, or a cool battle in the sky, followed by a fun, quick fight to help a spirit who, in turn, will help you? Hmmm, I wonder?


 * 1) I love the location. Fighting in the sky and on a whale? Awesome. Only thing I don't like is that you have to use Scrapper to activate the boss fight.
 * 2) I would have to go with Bilocyte because I'm currently in love with Skyward Sword. Also because the thought of fighting a giant parasite inside of and even bigger fish deity's stomach didn't appeal to me. Whale deities are much better:-).

While the colors probably need to be fixed, and the intro probably (really) needs tweaking, like normal. And it's Wednesday not Sunday, but at least it's changed. –  Jä zz  i  16:30, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

 * That might be part of it. AuronKaizer, who usually manages the ToC stuff, hasn't been around for a few days, and since it's the holiday season and all, it's not really out of the ordinary. Jedimasterlink (talk) 20:24, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

Anon 5 for Barinade, you have to realize that people have lives. I've been trying to get it so that it updates every week.

Temple of Courage was changed a week ago today. I figured I'd change it out on the weekend to make it run smoother and more consistent a time change. –  Jä zz  i  18:32, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

In the Gratitude Crystal Orange corner is a large, blue, bat-like demon residing far underneath Skyloft. When our hero first meets this creature, he mistakes him for an actual threat; however, this harmless demon simply likes to play possibly questionable screaming games with children. Desiring to be a human, he asks the hero to bring him 80 Gratitude Crystals to fix his problem. Like a bat out of heck, THIS. IS. BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATREEEEEEEEEEEEAUX!!!

In the Gold Skulltula Gold Brown corner, we have a family so rich it could be considered fabulous, cursed for their wealth by some unknown deity. Our hero stumbles upon their decrepit home where the family's father begs of him to deliver to them one hundred shiny Gold Skulltulas. Upon doing this, the curse is broken and the hero is rewarded with unlimited wealth of his own. Fabulous as ever, THIS. IS. THE FAAAAAAAAAAAAAABUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUULOUSLY RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICH FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMILY!!! Which one of these deadly demons will be returned to their human form first? That all depends on you, dear viewers, and which particular valuable item you've chosen to hunt down.

Votes for Batreaux

 * 1) I've always liked this whole "misunderstood monster" concept. And Skyward Sword has one of the best examples on record. The guy is just so harmless and likeable, it has you wondering which is the actual monster... the ancient demon, or humanity's inextinguishable penchant for xenophobia? Didn't hurt that he made me infinitely richer (both in-game financially, and in spirit, since the end of his sidequest is just so heartwarming in ways not seen in a Zelda game since Majora's Mask) than the Fabulously Rich Family (any relation to Ghirahim?), which only gave me a mild sense of self-satisfaction and more of those completely useless Rupees that you can find nothing to spend on. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  19:38, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) For lack of a better way to say it, Batreaux is a very interesting character. There is just something about him that makes me like him, probably the "misunderstood monster" thing that AK mentioned. Its also interesting that his demonic form is what caused monsters to plauge Skyloft. Evnyofdeath 22:11, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) His side quests are better and he has far more depth than the Fabulously Rich Family. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 00:20, December 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Well, admittedly, the Fabulously Rich Family's prizes are way better and more varied than Batreaux's, but at this guy has, you know, a personality. <font color="#14148A">Xykeb  <font color="#4B0082">Yvolix   Zraliv  00:22, December 12, 2011 (UTC)

 * 6) I just hated getting the Gold Skultula's. Even with the glitch that made them so easy to get, it was just too tedious to get them. I will say that the gratitude crystals are a little weird. I mean, I just saved you, yet you aren't grateful? But your brother is? Come on.  Ike  18:20, December 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) There are only 80 Gratitude Crystals, unlike the 100 Gold Skulltulas, and you can get them in groups of five. --Ceiling Master (talk) 00:47, December 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) In all seriousness, Batreaux is less demanding than said Rich fellows and is a good demon for a change. No one ever sees those anymore, especially in a Zelda game. I respect him for that. Kapodaco! (talk) 01:20, December 13, 2011 (UTC)

 * 12) Although OoT is one of my favorite games of all time, i have to say, the helping people is so much more fun than hunting for spiders.

 * 1) OK so they both creeped me out the first time I saw them, but I like Batreaux better, even if it would only be for his name. His first-scene was quite fun and he looks way cooler!
 * 2) I don't feel any particular passion for either character but I DO have resent for that 100 gold skulltula side quest. What a waste of time. Plus, it was pretty amusing drawing your sword and freaking him out. I mean c'mon.
 * 3) I have to say that the Fabulously Rich Family only wants to be human so they they can be rich again, this guy wants to be nice and be able to interact with humans.

Votes for Fabulously Rich Family

 * 1) It's because of Minish's Gold Skulltula addiction. –  Jä  zz  i  19:25, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) This is clear cut for me. As much as I love the high amount of side quests in Skyward Sword  find the idea of gratitude crystals (like force gems) to be quite unrewarding. Yes I helped you good to see that your happy but are you going to actually give me something beside your gratitude? I know I can actually use gratitude but still in a very selfish way it doesn't seem like I'm getting anything if the other person isn't losing something (this does not extend to real life where gratitude of real people is very important to me). The golden Skulltulla idea on the other hand is fantastic. Sure it's a drag to try and find all of them but it keeps the overworld very interesting as there are plenty of nooks and crannies that can reward you with a satisfying Golden Skulltulla token accompanied with legendary music. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark  <font color="#007A00">Link 19:42, December 11, 2011 (UTC)]
 * 3) I'm basing this completely on the fact that OOT is my second-favourite Zelda next to MM. That and I've never trusted French people. And Batreaux is definitely French-- Abrahamlinkoln  ( talk ) 21:04, December 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) While gratitude crystals are so much awesomer, Batreaux is obviously a spy sent by Demise :P --Hydropanda (talk) 00:49, December 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) First of all, when I first played through Majora's Mask, the Fabulously Rich Father gave me nightmares, which means he totally has a higher "freaky as hell but harmless" factor; also i agree AL, french people suck, with their words that make no sense (hors deuvres is pronounced or dervs? seriously?) and their hating americans and all... the only good thing they brought to the world was the statue of liberty... people say their foods great but i don't buy that cause they eat frigging SNAILS. Also gratitude crystals are a dumb rehash of force gems and i also agree with ODL because if you really had so much gratitude prove it by sacrificing something ya deadbeat. The Skulltulas may not be showing gratitude but they're sure as hell sacrificing something for you to have their tokens.  Nilk ''' admin
 * 6) One of the two scariest things about Ocarina of Time in my opinion. I'll never forget when these guys came down from the ceiling and freaked the hell out of me.  --Nevermind0309 (talk) 03:16, December 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) Is it possible to be more creepy but less wierd. In this battle I think the the "Family" definitely has got the upper hand over Batreaux. --Boomerangman (talk)

 * 1) Fabulous. And gold. And I didn't know who to vote for so I decided to vote on the right. (And first anon vote.)
 * 2) beatrux (however you spell it) is a cornball. so FRF
 * 3) When the family member in the middle of the room fell on me I completly freaked out and started trying to kill him, only to find I had been beating up a harmless person who had been trying to ask for help. I felt awful and very sorry for him, which is the point of the 'misunderstood monster' trope isn't it? Batty is pretty much just a character invented to try and encourage players to 'be good' and help the people in town.
 * 4) Haven't played SS. But I have played OoT.
 * 5) Simply put, Batreux is annoying and finding gold skulltulas is amzaing.
 * 6) THEY'RE FREAKING SKULLTULAS HOW CAN YOU NOT VOTE FOR THEM!?!?!?
 * 7) The family is so eerie and tragic that dwarfs their opponent in comparison.Their title also has a creepy and dignified feel that brings old mansions filled with uncomfortable and dusty furniture to mind. It also has a distinct "you got what you deserved." flavor. The irony of a rich and fabulous family being reduced to asking a green-clothed child for help makes for a classic fairytale story that Batty also lacks. It is merely a way of comparing a deep, and haunting story/sidequest to one of drastically less depth.

Glad to see the fight switch time is getting back on track. Honestly, though, I'm a little disappointed the last one's over. I actually liked it. Still interested in what the outcome is going to be here, though. It doesn't look like one clear winner. Okay, I'll stop rambling now.

 * While I liked the last fight as well, and while it was surprisingly close, I personally hated seeing the fights not being changed on a semi-regular basis and sometimes not being changed for a month, and with Skyward Sword ' s release, the Temple of Courage is something that should be happening at the wiki to attract more users, and it won't do much attracting if it's not changed regularly. –  Jä zz  i  21:10, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

Anon 3 for the Fab Rich Family...no, not really. The "Misunderstood Monster" is a, well, monster who doesn't act monstrous but everyone thinks they do and act accordingly. The Fab Rich Family is a greedy family who were cursed because of this, and afterwards beg Link to save them. Evnyofdeath 15:53, December 12, 2011 (UTC)

Ike...you're talking about the "Missing Sister" quest? Er...you do get Gratitude Crystals from her...AND her brother...totalling 10...

First off, I'm glad the fights are being changed out like this, after a certain fight that went on for over a month, not close at all. And I have checked the history, and found that anons are not allowed to sign in the votes, and I assumed this carried over to the comments section. --24.84.0.49 22:37, December 13, 2011 (UTC)

Lincoln, having a French name doesn't mean you're French. Listen to the way Batreaux talks, he doesn't have an accent. I mean...my first name is gaelic in origin, and my last name has both Native American and European roots to it, yet that doesn't mean I'm Gaelic or Native American.
