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.

Votes for Bellumbeck

 * 1) I really have to vote for Bellumbeck here. I haven't fought Nabooru yet in OoT, and Bellum was an interesting villain. Plus Bellumbeck was fun to fight. -- The One And Only Guitar Hero   Talk to TOAOGH |undefined You can't believe everything online, that's what started WW1 18:30, February 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) I liked Linebeck better, and it was a much bigger surprise when he turned into the final boss then her being a mini-boss. Also, he was just awesome actually trying to fight Bellum.  Ike  19:27, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

 * 1) It was a better fight than Nabooru, and the music was great!

Votes for Nabooru

 * 1) 3 Heart Semi-Challenge. She actually gave me a challenge in that run. –  Jä  zz  i  16:46, February 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Can't help but throw my vote here. Iron knuckles have long been my favorite enemy in the series, Phantoms, not so much. That plus Nabooru herself was a half decent character and the aspect of fighting an ally came across more effectively by not leaving it as a final boss. She would also have been ally worthy of killing had the game a higher rating. Was also nice that you weren't meant to know it was her during the fight (though I knew something like that would happen since before I met her since I left the start screen on long enough way back when) Oni Dark  Link 16:57, February 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) I don't really care for either, but Ocarina of Time wins over Phantom Hourglass. Kapodaco! (talk) 18:43, February 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) Wow, this was a hard choice. However, Nabooru was definitely more of a challenge than Bellumbeck. Even if Linebeck&mdash;as a character&mdash;was better than Nabooru, this is about the bosses, so she wins. &mdash;Ceiling  Master  19:02, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

 * 1) First anon vote. My instinct was to vote on the right (as usual). I haven't exactly gotten to this point in the game, but anything over a fight that doesn't even stick out in my mind.

Hopefully I did a better job with the colors, while the intro is a bit weak, I think I've improve a bit. –  Jä zz  i  17:00, February 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Colours do look nice though Bellumbeck's does look a bit similar to the sandship's from last week's match. Not sure if that would be classed as a problem though. I also find the line "transformed by the dark powers of the World of the Ocean King" a bit jarring. Not only does it have the words of the almost in succession but I'm not sure how accurate it is to refer Bellum that way. Even so it's still probably better than what I could do.

In the scenic foggy blue corner, we have the treasure hording, princess kidnapping ship that was destroyed, but has been rebuilt for this special occasion. Sporting rustic dungeons, fancy Reapling guards, and even a Dead Man's Volley Deck, THIS. IS. THE. GGGGHHOOOOOOOSSSSSSTTTTTT SHHHIIIIIPPPPPP!!!

In the sandy and ruined corner we have the former LD-301N Skipper's ship, rebuilt for this special battle. Contrary to its name it does not actually sail on sand.

Votes for Ghost Ship

 * 1) The ghost ship's final boss didn't involve tentacles.  Hundreds among hundreds of tentacles *shudder* --Hydropanda (talk) 23:17, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) The Sandship has a good boss a good mini-boss and a cool item but I didn't really like it that much probably my least favorite temple in the game. Also the Ghost Ship quest in Wind Waker was kinda fun. User:Coolkat100 19:05, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm voting for the Ghost Ship, I'm almost done finishing up on the Phantom Hourglass.  00:05, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) I'm super ultra torn here cause i love this game and dungeon and i love skyward sword and everything i know about sandship implies that i would love it but i haven't gotten that far in ss so  i'm voting for this one. and by the way this ship does move just not while it serves as a dungeon.  Nilk ''' admin
 * 5) I have no idea what to vote for. I don't like the actual Dungeon for the Ghost Ship, but it appears in Wind Waker, so I have to vote for it. Plus, I haven't even gotten that far in Skyward Sword. --Hoshii no Kaabii (talk) 03:16, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

 * 1) Phantom hourglass was the first zelda game i ever played! which is why the ghost ship gets my vote! :) and I love the creepy fog that surrounds this place
 * 2) Never played either, but I hate Skyward Sword.
 * 3) I have played both games and the ghost ship was more fun and exitind espesaly the dead mans volly
 * 4) This is just unfair if the Sandship wins. Sure, Skyward Sword may be better than Phantom Hourglass, but this is the Ghost Ship we're talking about... a main part of the whole story of PH... Sandship was just one temple. Tetra was captured on this ship!! The game BEGAN and ENDED on this ship!!! Its more important to PH than the Sandship is to SS!!!

Votes for Sandship

 * 1) Apart from the boss I really really enjoyed the Sandship as a dungeon. It had a nice concept which molded well with the puzzles featured in it. A great mini boss with just some decent puzzles overall. Probably one of the most memorable dungeons in Skyward Sword for me anyway. Oni Dark Link 10:48, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * 2) Phantom Hourglass... wait, that existed? Oh right, wishful thinking. Besides that, the Sandship was an awesome dungeon. --Auron  Kaizer !  13:46, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * 3) Sandship was one of my favorite dungeons in the series. The Ghost Ship...not so much. Xykeb  <font color="#4B0082">Yvolix   Zraliv  16:07, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * 4) The Sandship was a very cool concept and dungeon overall and I don't even remember anything about the Ghost Ship. -<font color="#B0E0E6">Minish  <font color="#003366">Link   17:17, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * 5) The Timeshift Stones were some of the coolest new features in the game, while the Ghost Ship had four evil girls&mdash;much too reminiscent of the Poe Sisters from OoT&mdash;that tried to kill you. &mdash;<font color="Blue">Ceiling  <font color="Orange">Master  17:28, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * 6) The Sandship is the best dungeon in a game that has a lot of great dungeons. Among the best of the best, to put it another way. I don't even remember anything about the Ghost Ship except those four Blind wannabes. Jedimasterlink (talk) 19:08, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * 7) Less annoying than the Ghost Ship. More fun too. The Timeshift Stones were fun, and the Boss was incredibly weird, but in an almost good way.  Ike  20:53, February 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * 8) Haven't gotten here yet, but it's in a much better game. –  Jä  zz  i  19:50, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * 9) While I hate to vote against something I've never experienced firsthand, the Sandship is pretty hard to beat. Story wise, gameplay wise, its captain/crew/enemies/item/timeshiftyness, it's just an all around awesome and unique dungeon.--<font color="Green">Fierce <font color="SaddleBrown">Deku  21:30, February 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * 10) ditto FD verbatim. <font color="#3ba0c5">Ice <font color="Red">Flame  01:22, February 7, 2012 (UTC)
 * 11) Everything from the music to the execution of this dungeon is amazing. It is one of the few dungeons in the Zelda series that don't feel like a dungeon. Instead, the Sand Ship feels like an actual ship.Wwtoonlinkfan (talk) 07:36, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * 12) As a dungeon, I really enjoyed the Sandship.  It was very unique and unusual.  The Ghost Ship on the otherhand was incredibly annoying for me, possibly because I wasn't a fan of the DS Zelda Games.  Either way, I didn't enjoy the Ghost Ship, where as I really enjoyed the Sandship.  --Nevermind0309 (talk) 18:05, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * 13) Best dungeon of the 2nd best Game. and as Anonymous 8 says, Phantom Hourglass sucks. ShyguyFan
 * 14) Phantom Hourglass was meh when compared to Skyward Sword. Besides the Sandship can go invisible and although the Ghost Ship can do the same thing, it's less easily capable and is less interesting as a dungeon overall. Corfid Bizna
 * 15) I like sand, and I like ships, but I hate tentacles, and I like ghosts, hmm... I love Skyward Sword. Sandship wins. Kapodaco! (talk) 20:27, February 11, 2012 (UTC)

 * 1) the boss was cool(tentacles) and the ghost ship has scary reaplings and weird sisters
 * 2) I loved the Timeshift Stones! And the puzzles where as chalengling as spelling (for me, anyway). The music was cool, and you (finaly) get the bow in this dungeon! Plus, I've never felt so epic climbing a ladder. ... :)
 * 3) never played Phantom Hourglass
 * 4) Though the dungeon itself was tedious, doing the same run over and over again, I liked the idea of sailing in a desert. That pirate captain robot guy was pretty cool too, though not really that hard.
 * 5) Easily the best dungeon in the game for me (though I know many people would disagree). The item is awesome, and using it is even better. The music is ranked high in my favorites for the game. Also, I can't even really remember the Ghost Ship.
 * 6) The Sandship had the best mini boss in the game and was arguably the best dungeon in the game overall.
 * 7) The reaplings were annoying, and the Cubus sisters froze my game like 3 times :(
 * 8) Phantom Hourglass sucks. period.
 * 9) Well I am a fan of Lanayru, so I choose this.
 * 10) The only weak point in the Sandship is Tentalus's face. Besides that, almost everything was perfect. Plus, the idea of traveling in time for both past and present... It added some complexity. Which is nice.
 * 11) Sandship is easily the best dungeon in Skyward Sword. Ghost Ship was plain annoying...
 * 12) The Sandship was probably the best dungeon in skyward sword, and the ghost ship was the worst in Phantom Hourglass, and thats saying something...FOR BOTH OF THEM!!

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. -<font color="#B0E0E6">Minish   <font color="#003366">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 <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 00:39, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

 * 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.
 * 7) Although Falbi may be more...memorable, im gonna have to vote for Dodoh, probably cause he scared the crap out of me when he turned around.

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)
 * 3) Who suggested this fight because i would like to send them a virtual punch in the face? I mean really, suggesting a fight between the two worst minigame operators in the series, and two of the worst characters. I choose Falbi because I wouldn't be where I am today if I weren't so warped and he helped warp me, so I owe him a slight debt. HEAR THAT FALBI?! MY DEBT IS PAID!! STOP SENDING ME DEAD CUCCOS!!  Nil ''' kad
 * 4) I was going to vote for Dodoh since he essentially gives me Rupees with how easy his game is. However, then I realized that I should vote for Falbi since he at least lets me abuse cuccos. That's what they get for constantly attacking people in swarms. --Birdman5589 (talk) 22:12, January 19, 2012 (UTC)
