Zeldapedia brings to you the spectacularly spectacular spectacle that is the TEMPLE. OF. COUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRAGE!!!, live from atop Spectacle Rock. This week, we have a Battle Royal between the spirits of two monarchs who linger on in the mortal plane and aid the hero in protecting their kingdoms. Their credentials will be listed... right now.

In the sand red corner is a long-dead king of the land of Hyrule, who seeks to aid his former kingdom even in death. Link seeks out his tomb in the Royal Valley's graveyard, and finds there the dead king's spirit, who gives him a Kinstone Piece that allows him to open the way forward. THIS. IS. KIIIIIIIIIIING GUUUUUUSTAAAAAAAF!!!

In the more reddish brown corner is a queen of the Zora, who was executed by the minions of Zant as an example to those who would oppose him. Her ghostly form appears before Link when he restores the flow of water to her kingdom, and asks him to aid her son, who has fallen ill. After finding and safely delivering her son to the shaman in Kakariko Village, she appears before him once more, and guides him to a hidden Zora grave, wherein lies the Zora Armor. Before finally departing this realm, she also appears before her son. THIS. IS. QUEEEEEEEN RUUUUTEEEEEEEEEEEELAAAAA!!!

It is advised that all spectators wear blue clothing, as there will decidedly be blue blood flying through the air during this fight. And now, LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADYYYYY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for King Gustaf

 * 1) Old King Gustaf... you're awesome. anybody who hangs around their own graves on the off chance that some hero will someday come by and fuse kinstones with them is pretty cool in my book. --Ricorum (talk) 18:29, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I just like the Kings of Hyrule. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 02:53, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Rutela's story was basically like Darunia's story in the future of OoT... sacrificed as a demonstration.  Unoriginal...  But Gustaf was awesome and he lived around poes that fused kinstones with you!  Also I loved the redone Legend of Zelda dungeon theme --Hydropanda (talk) 23:28, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Well it seems that only people with normal signatures pledged their allegiance to the King of Hyrule. --Birdman5589 (talk) 00:03, February 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) I'm going for little old King Gustaf. WAAAYYY BOOMMMBB -- Χάκερ   σκιών   02:57, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) I like how he is from a long time ago and knew the Wind Tribe. It makes him more mysterious. I have nothing against Rutela but for some reason she just didn't have much impact on me when I first played through.--Fierce Deku  02:25, February 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) I just like him better than Rutela--Green Courage 18:47, February 19, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) Queen Rutela's music is cool and all, and the zora's are really cool, but the TP versions just aren't, so I vote for the King!! Well you can't vote for a king, but still..

Votes for Queen Rutela

 * 1) It's not that I thought Queen Rutela was a highly developed character or anything like that, but we know basically, next to nothing about the venerable ghost king, which makes him either A) highly uninteresting; B) a subject whose theory sections outweigh the factual information, or C) all of the above/neither/both. Oh, and Queen Rutela came bundled with an arousing awesome redone Serenade of Water. And I actually got an item that was actually repeatedly useful from the Queen, compared to the lame golden Kinder Surprise toy that opens a door that looks like it could be done away with some well-placed explosives. --Auron  Kaizer !  18:04, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm a fan of Zoras. Even if I don't really like the TP version of Zoras. But, have you heard her music? Serenade of Water had to be one of my favorite warp songs, and the remastered/redone version made me love it more. -- B  ass  J  apas  18:28, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) BassJapas just said it all.--Yorick141 (talk) 19:24, February 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) I love Zoras and my favourite game is TP. Rutela = Both! Plus I love the Serenade of Water which plays when Link sees her! Totally awesome!---LinksGirlfriend
 * 5) The music (aka what BassJapas said). Jedimasterlink (talk) 00:36, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) Her backstory is darker and therefore better. Oh yeah, and it exists. - Is  drak  thül  01:00, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) Her scenes were some of the most touching in the game. --Nayru&#39;s Maiden (talk) 05:55, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) She is creeeepy! She's a talking fish ghost that haunts Link. But still, she's a kinda cool character --Vussen  13:02, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 9) If the Royal Crypt was actually a dungeon Gustaf would of got my vote Oni Dark  Link 15:09, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 10) She's a Zora, she's epic and has an awesome leitmotif. Also, unrelatedly, the way she proposes in me and Minish's fanfiction series - "Feythos, I...will..." She broke the embrace and stood back from him, looking at her feet. "Oh, just take it." She unclasped the Zora's Sapphire from her necklace and shoved it at him. - because she's just awesome like that. -Stars  talk  http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/pyroac/Starssprite.gif 16:31, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 11) I love the Redone Serenade Of Water and it makes me physically cry when she says what happened to her. My vote goes to the dead Queen of the Zoras X) Zelda  -girl
 * 12)  -Minish   Link  17:12, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 13) Well, I haven't played Minish Cap yet, so.  Ike  20:29, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * 14) I guess I'll vote for her. She's a Zora, so sure.  <font color="#663300">T <font   color="#996600">h <font   color="#CC6600">e Mask-Mimic.gif ™  00:03, February 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * 15) Her theme is my second favorite song in TP,besides Midna's Lament. The whole Rutela quest is ethereal, and you really feel a sense of accomplishment when you help her son put his mother to rest. Maybe I'm a crybaby, but it definitely warranted a few tears. Also, the Zora Armour, despite being extremely hard to control, has to be one of my favorite objects in the game. So, yeah.I'm voting for her.--Farore.din.nayru (talk) 13:53, February 12, 2011 (UTC)

 * 1) Zoras > Hylians. Simple math. 1st anonymos vote!!
 * 2) She looks creepier
 * 3) Some creepy guy with nothing better to do then go around telling little kids what to do, or a queen who wants to make sure her son doesn't die. Point made.
 * 4) Zoras are awesome, even the TP ones. The remix of the Serenade of Water is cool. (I can actually play it on one of my ocarinas.)
 * 5) Fat Hylian vs. a freaking zora. Plus she is trying to save her son and the rest of the zoras and he is a fat creepy guy who gives presents to little children  he has never seen before. Nintendo could have replaced him with a creepy guy that you would see in a dark ally way. Oh wait that's what they did but just put the word king in front of his name.
 * 6) I was SO scared when i first saw her. I'm voting for her so that she doesn't haunt me. The other guy is boring. I'm calling the ghostbusters for him.
 * 7) MEH.
 * 8) I'm voting for Queen Rutela just because I love the Zoras more than Hylians. That, and she's probably one of THE best designed Zora in Twilight Princess. Nuff said.
 * 9) Twilight princess is one of the best Zelda games ever. Minish Cap is like, a side game! Besides, as pointed out by other commenters, Queen trying to save her son and other Zoras > Fat guy who gives stuff to kids. 67.238.147.213 05:39, February 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * 10) She is a zora their awesome.
 * 11) Zoras are just cool. And the TP version of Serenade of Water is beautiful.
 * 12) I loved this character, she had me wanting to see more of her in the game. Also the Serenade of Water remix had me crying. I even stopped pressing "A" to here the whole song!

I was going to do it last Sunday. But time got ahead of me. I would do it now, but, seeing how it's Thursday, almost Friday in some parts of the world, I'll let it run for the next three days. If by this time on Sunday (3:07PM)  it's still live, I'll do it. Since by that time, it would've been running for two (I think) weeks at that time and would be going on it's third. So, yeah, I don't really want to do it this week, seeing how the winning suggestion are characters from games I've never played and would much prefer someone else with the knowledge do it. --<font color="#00BFF3"> B <font color="#000000">a <font color="#000000">s <font color="#000000">s <font color="#00BFF3"> J  <font color="#000000">apas  20:15, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
