In the golden-tinted corner, we have a collection of misfits that would make Charlie Manson's family look like the Camdens! Geeks, substance abusers and senile old men abound! Unofficial rogue assistants to the Royal Family that may blast you to bits with a bazooka if you don't think twice! THIS...IS...THE GROUP!

In the blue corner, we have the most fearsome group of pirates ever to sail the Great Sea! Led by Tetra, these buccaneers frequently display workings of piracy that would make ThePirateBay.org crap their drawers! And our survey says...THEY ARE TETRA AND HER HOST OF DEADLY, DEADLY NINJA(Citation not needed) PIRATES!!!!

And now, feast your eyes upon a GORE SPECTACLE BEYOND YOUR WILDEST DREAMS! PIRATES VS. VIGILANTES! THE REBELS VS. THE ESTABLISHMENT! A BATTLE TO END ALL BATTLES! AND here...we...GO!

Votes for The Group

 * 1) The Group's members all have something to do with the storyline and they were all given more of a personality than most of Tetra's pirates. Tough choice though... LapisScarab 19:34, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) I'd say that the people whose version of helping Link includes shooting enemies with bazookas beat the idiots who think helping Link entails shooting him out of a cannon and getting him to lose his sword any day. Plus, it's easier to take them seriously than people like, say... Niko... Bek The Conqueror 21:01, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) I'll vote for the guys that actually help you (LOLO substance abusers? I only remember one). - Leo  Lab  00:31, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) I gonna give my vote to these guys. Who wouldn't vote for a crazy scholar, a ninja, an old man, a guy with a golden cucoo, and a lady whose breasts can actually attack you? Blitz2121 02:47, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) I don't know why I just like these guys better.  Metroidhunter32  14:44, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) they are more interesting! User:Stardude613
 * 7) The group have more depth than the pirates, and they don't make you swing around the cargo hold of a ship. Raz 21:13, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) Ignoring my being a fan of the Pirates, lets look at this logically. Tetra's Pirates can barely fight, or even think for themselves! They had never been in a fight before, but The Group is full of skilled fighters, a nerd, and one strange bartender, with some experience in war. They seem much smarter and much more coordinated then Tetra's Pirates. So, Telma > Tetra
 * 2) Tetra is to small to be a leader and Niko is annoying!

Votes for Tetra's Pirates

 * 1) Let me break this down through the wonderful mechanics of Pythogoran math; Pirates > everything else. The Group = Everything else. There just is no chance that these sorry excuses for exposition should be able to beat a pirate, much less a whole host of pirates. They may be worse at piracy than Guybrush Threepwood even, but having to be a good pirate is not a prerequisite. The Group should just go back to their hideout before the pirates blast a hole in their solar plexi. -- Auron  Kaizer ( ...Kaizer! ) 07:49, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 2) Tetra's Pirates all the way. User:Dragonmaster kayla
 * 3) The only cool one in "The Group" is the old guy with the bazooka! The Group did have one awesome cutscene but Tetra and the Pirates are some of my favorite characters in the series- behind Linebeck.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 4) Well, considering they have a boat, they could easily just get in it and bombard The Group until nothing remains but... well you get the point. Plus they're pirates, need I say more? Triforce 14 18:06, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 5) I love every member of Tetra's Pirates individually, as well as the group as a whole. The only part of The Group that I feel any sort of connection to is Shad, and that's only because he's a geek, like me.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  21:21, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 6) pirates > rebels, basic math--Power courage wisdom and time 21:24, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) Tetra's pirates look so much cooler. Besides, they give you a hard time getting the bombs. I really hated it to swing from torch to torch in te set time..
 * 2) Tetra was awesome in WW. Her pirates even had sweet canons to shoot people with. The group only had one good point, the final dungeon where they got you the big key. WW>TP.
 * 3) Tetras pirates and the group are both in games that I have so it's a tricky decision but I will go with the pirates because they are in the Wind Waker ( A game I have finished almost two times) And with the pirates you do three things and with the group you only do one.

The introduction for the fight seems a little biased, eh? - Leo Lab  00:32, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I agree. We should fire whomever wrote that! -- Auron  Kaizer ( ...Kaizer! ) 05:27, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Who cares? It's not serious enough for anybody to really get offended or anything.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  13:35, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Blitz2121 that sounds a little bit sexist.  Metroidhunter32  14:46, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Hm, it's definitely something, but I wouldn't say it's sexist. I mean, he's not saying anything about how a certain gender is worse than the other, and he's not subconciously using male pronouns.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  16:50, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Its not sexist. Ii may be a little on the bad side, but hey, its the truth! xD Blitz2121 18:14, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

Technically not sexist, but not appropriate at all.

Ok. I think we should just make a rule saying that no one should be allowed make any inappropriate comments or usernames. I'm also saying usernames too because if you look at one of the names below on the votes for zant's hand side, someone has the name Majorasbrokencondom. User:Dragonmaster kayla

Votes for Zant's Hand

 * 1) It makes my heart hammer, you know, running through the room with the Sol and Zant's hand hot in pursuit. And I have always found the Wallmaster very annoying. PhantomGanonUsurper27
 * 2) This thing is creepy to the extreme and the fact that it is imortal means that it just keeps coming and you can't just kill it and go on with your life. Your stuck with that thing until you make it outside.   Metroidhunter32  23:41, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Tough decision, but I'll have to go w/ Zant's hand. It scared the ***t out of my friend (nearly giving his sister nightmares). Tough choice, but I can't vote against that. - Leo  Lab  00:58, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) All for Zant's hand. Whenever I saw the shadow getting close, I'd start panicking. Good choice. Leo604 02:54, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) It looks cooler, it's difficult without being extremely annoying, and the music scares the crud out of me. I'm not joking, it freaks me out (less now than when I first played the game, but you get the point). LapisScarab 05:44, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Its "Zants Hand." I have nothing else to say. BetweenBlack&White
 * 7) Well this is a really difficult decision for me as both are challenging enemies. I myself found Wallmaster annoying in earlier games, but that's what it was intended to do, so its substance was good as it had the intended effect. To me, Zant's Hand is an updated and very much improved version of Wallmaster. I prefer the style and sense of foreboding that Zant's Hand casts over the player, although I still like Wallmaster a lot too given that it was the forerunner of Zant's Hand. Hero of Time 87 14:59, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) This thing makes me freak out. Doing things on a time limit is something I have trouble doing. My reflexes and motor skills for the most part suck ass so I need to be able to take my time to get around problems. What with the freaky music and Zant's Hand being an achingly slow scary floating hand is more than I can say for Wallmasters when it comes to being troublesome. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 21:51, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) I always hated Wall Master on Oot and This Zant's hand was more challenging in TP.
 * 10) Wallmaster? Ha. THIS THING GOES THROUGH WALLS.  Portal-  Kombat Altough I've played this game multiple times, the thing, along whit it's music, always creeps me and it brings another dimension to dungeons: escaping it when it finished.
 * 11) The most infuriating, put-your-head-through-the-wall boss in all of Zelda-dom against the thing that puts you back at the start of the level? I know who wins this one. User:Hello Waterface
 * 12) It is immortal, can go through walls, and is in the Palace of Twilight, my favorite temple. OddGoron
 * 13) I like the background music for when it approaches, and it's realistic-looking. Pianist Link 09:03, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 14) Even though I hate when I play, the graphics are better.Shadow of Twilight
 * 15) Non-killables beat regular enemies every time. Bek The Conqueror 02:42, 24 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 16) It can't die, it won't stop chasing you, it looks cool, and it gave you a sense of urgency. To top that off, it beat out both Wallmaster AND Like Like for the title of Enemy I Hate the Most. I have to go with Zant's Hand. Vallunge
 * 17) This thing scared the living daylights out of me when I first discovered it when through walls. The thing that freaks me out most about ALL video games is the music. I almost ran out of the room when I heard it. Majora'sBrokenCondom 12:11, 31 December 2008
 * 18) Well, I've only played part of OoT, but from what I've heard, Wallmaster gets his ass kicked. Go Zanty's handy. SleepingDragon7
 * 19) While the Wallmaster was incredibly creepy from OoT, Zant's Hand just freaked the be-jesus out of me! The creepy music accompanying it is what really put it over the edge for me; not to mention the fact that, while you know it's there, it glides along silently, like some impending doom or something.  GreyCrusader

 * 1) The wallmaster is just annoying while Zant's hand can be a little difficult to avoid because of 2 reasons. 1. It can't be killed. 2. The monsters and obstacles slow you down a bit when u r trying to escape with the sole.
 * 2) Zant's Hand is cool. Wallmasters are just creepy.
 * 3) An immortal embodiment of all evil that is sent to protect the Sol. And it's freakin scary having that thing chase you around!
 * 4) Ouch, tough choice, but my hat's off to Zant's Hand. That thing is just plain scary. Dunno if it's the music or how it moves its fingers, but I really get nervous when running away from it. Don't get me wrong, Wallmasters are scary as well, but at least you can dodge them with a roll or even give em a slash.
 * 5) No matter what you do, Zant's hand will never be destroyed. All you can do is run. Wallmasters on the other hand are fairly easy to kill in Ocarina of Time. 220.253.202.37 03:15, 20 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) By far the cooler of the two - just look at it + it's immortal - so what chance does a wallmaster have???
 * 7) I got really afraid when this thing was chasing after me !!!!
 * 8) You cant even kill Zant's hand! I know how annoying Wallmasters are, but at least they die! Zant's hand is an ever-present threat, which is why I'm going for this side.
 * 9) Zant's Hand is just plain awesome but its creepy because it wont stop following you!! Zeldamaniac95
 * 10) Zants hand is immortal and can transform a wall master into another zants hand and lives in twilight. Enough said.
 * 11) It scared the heck out of my friend.
 * 12) He's really annoying. I was fending him off when I ran out of arrows.
 * 13) wallmasters are easy to avoid with the help of ladders so this guy got my vote.
 * 14) Zant's Hand could corrupt a Wallmaster and is invincible, not to mention it follows you forever.

Votes for Wallmaster

 * 1) It's a classic enemy. Solar flute
 * 2) At least you can kill this thing.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  20:30, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) Every time I go into a dungeon in a Zelda game, my biggest fear is a Wallmaster grabbing me. Oddball464
 * 4) Hands down for me (no pun intended), the wallmaster is a classic, and is not as obnoxious as Zant's Hand is. Dialask77 13:53, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) Wallmaster definitly Young link
 * 6) Wallmaster! LeaderSheikah
 * 7) One of the best enemies. nintenodGamer1124
 * 8) Wallmaster is a classic enemy, enough said ssherry92
 * 9) I hate wallmaster, but I would chose it anyway. I don't have Twilight Princess, but I've borrowed it from a friend once, and I haven't gotten to Zant's Hand yet. Wallmasters creep me out, but they were a challenge cause I always got caught by them. So...I'm voting for wallmaster. User:Dragonmaster kayla
 * 10) Wallmaster is the better one. No doubt about it. User:The Great Usurper Bongo Bongo
 * 11) Wallmaster is much harder to avoid than Zant's hand, and is much more of annoying all around. It can easily dstroy large amounts of hard work, whereas Zant's hand might send you back one or two rooms. Zant's hand is much slower, and even when it grabs a sol it's still easy to get back with the clawshot. Wallmaster is a much more formidable opponent. Swordsman1062
 * 12) Wallmaster is way better than Zant's Hand. It has the ability to send you to the start of the dungeon, it is basically equivalent to the floormaster in WW, and it can scare you to death in OoT if your not careful. Blitz2121

 * 1) In OOt : Forest temple, these things scared the hibijibees out of me. I would be walking around, then boom, i was grabbed, snatched up, and warped to the center of the dungeon. The whirling air noise didn't make it any better. I guess in TP, zant's hand wasn't that scary. It was cool, but it served as an obnoxious, non-killable enemy compared to the wall hands, which can at least be killed.
 * 2) watch out for the monsters that hang from the ceiling.. I defintly go for this one.. Zant's hand made it morge difficult to reach him, but the wall masters were easy.. easy wins
 * 3) As always, I took the definition of "fight" literally, and decided that Wallmaster could easily defeat Zant's Hand. While Zant's Hand could convert a Wallmaster to another of it's kind (since Zant's Hands' are nothing more than what appear to be Wallmasters infused with Twilight), the Wallmaster has a definate advantage. Zant's Hand exists only to guard the Sol, and when activated, moves at a slow pace. Thus, the Wallmaster could easily attack Zant's Hand without touching the Sol, and (if it had to) could just move up, out of Zant's Hands' reach, easily defeating the creature. The Wallmaster wins, hands-down (no pun intended). Sincerely, Watcher.
 * 4) Wallmasters are awesome! I remember this one time in the shadow temple when I went into this weird room and a wallmaster comes down and grabs me! They scared me but they are so cool looking! Zant's hand was annoying,especially when I went into the next room with the sol and I thought I had got rid of it, but it came back through the wall. No matter how many arrows I shoot at it, it won't die!!!!!
 * 5) Wallmasters are the most classic annoying enemies in Zelda, Zant's hand only appeared in one Zelda game and weren't even all that memorable. Wallmaster definitely wins.
 * 6) How can you not vote for Master Hand's decrepit old sibling? Wallmaster wins my vote.
 * 7) This guy has my vote. I always feared him, and always freaked out when he was coming. Zant's hand was too easy to get away from.
 * 8) I vote for the wallmaster because they are the most annoying villains in Zelda games.  I found Zant's hand to be patheticly easy to avoid and get past.  Wallmasters, not so much.
 * 9) there is no debate, the wallmaster wins for being a classic, and cooler looking.

I might be jinxing it right here and now but this looks like a nail biter.  Metroidhunter32  23:42, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Is it ok to change my vote? I know I shouldn't be constantly flitting back and forth, but I'm afraid I may change my mind midway through the week, since this was a very tough decision for me.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  06:53, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * yes. Solar flute

I wonder... Is this an arm wrestle, thumb war, rock paper scissors, mercy, or bloody knuckles match? Dialask77 13:54, 18 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I think it is a whoever is on top wins seeing as they both drop form the cealing.  Metroidhunter32  22:01, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

When you think about it, neither one of these can really be "killed." Wallmaster may be gone for a few moments if you kill it, but it always comes back. It's never completely gone. So for those that argue that Wallmaster can be killed while Zant's Hand can't, that's not entirely accurate. You can stun Zant's Hand for several seconds by shooting it with something, namely arrows. I have done this. This is about as good as killing Wallmaster for a few seconds before it returns. Both can be momentarily taken out of action, but neither one can really be "killed" for good. Hero of Time 87 14:50, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Wellll, it depends on which game you're talking about. Bek The Conqueror 02:46, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

XYZ, D77, I think I'll take your advice. After all, my Dad said that I'm just not mature enough yet to have an account if I'm going to "police the site." Anyways, once he feels otherwise, I'll be on rather quick, and I hope that'll be soon. Untill then, since I'm not really doing anything wrong, I suppose I'll just hang around, OK? I'll do that as soon as I can. Sincerely, Watcher.

Hero of Time, you can kill the Wallmaster. The only reasons you might see it again a few seconds afterwards are: On the other hand, you can never kill Zant's Hand. All you can do is stun it. Portal- Kombat
 * There are multiple Wallmasters in the room.
 * You leave the room and come back. It will have respawned as nearly all enemies do, save for most minibosses and bosses.

PK, what I mean is that neither goes away fully, thus meaning that it's really half a dozen of one, six of another. There's not much difference there as far as gameplay goes. Hero of Time 87 06:58, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Depends which game you're talking about, I guess. The ones from Ocarina and Majora's Mask at least could be permanently killed off. I don't know about other ones in the series. Maybe the ones from the original Legend of Zelda? The only enemy that I am confident can never be truly finished off is the Miniblin... there will always be more. Portal- Kombat
 * Your statement depends as well. There were places that the Miniblins respawned infinitely and there were places where only about a dozen or so were in residence. Bek The Conqueror 02:52, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

Portal-Kombat is right, you must be talking about Wallmasters in a different game, because the ones in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask can be killed off and only respawn if you leave the room and come back, which is really true for quite a few enemies. By the way, Portal-Kombat, there actually several places where Miniblins do not come back after you kill a certain amount of them.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  18:57, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I know there are many places where you can permanently kill Miniblins. I was thinking of the ones in Forsaken Fortress. Encountering them without a weapon was not fun... I had to jump on top of a table and throw silverware at them to keep them away. Come to think of it, even those disappear after you defeat the Helmaroc King. Still, they have a special place in my nightmares. Creepiest enemies ever, like the Waterwraith and the Aperture Science Turrets from a couple other awesome games. Portal- Kombat

I think there's at least one cave where they never disappear. I don't know what those Aperture Science Turrets are, but I totally understand how you feel about the Waterwraith...*twitches irritably*  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  19:46, 21 December 2008 (UTC)

I played Wind Waker again and the cave where they never disappear is at Boating Course. A.S. Turrets are from Portal and I'm not sure which of those three enemies are the worst. I don't think it's Waterwraith. It may be deadly and flat-out weird but with purples on your side it doesn't stand a ghost of a chance. It's either the turrets or the Miniblin. Portal- Kombat

Hey, PK, when you say "Permanently kill", do you mean while you're scaling the fortress, or afterwards? Because if it's whil you're climbing, I can personally testify that they never stop coming at you. The best thing to do about them there is to run like hell. Sincerely, Watcher.

Ok,a hand that can steal Sol ( What you need to get the light sowrd in the Twilight Princess)And a hand that can throw you out of a dungeon is a very big nailbiter. Bigger than all of the other Zeldapedia Temple Of Courage battles.

WATCHER I meant afterwards, when Ganon's boat/house/tower gets burned by Valoo. Yes. I remember that part when you're scaling it and they don't disappear. Not even when you're sidling against the wall. They'll keep appearing even if all they do is plummet to their deaths :) Portal-  Kombat

All right, just wondering. By the way, what is that thing: a boat, house, or tower? I've never been sure, but my guess is tower. Oh, and that last non-user comment isn't me, it's someone else. Sincerely, Watcher.

Well technically it's a wrecked piece of a boat that serves as Ganon's house placed as a lookout on top of a tower. Portal- Kombat

Thanks PK. By the way everyone, I've been wondering, what does "Peanut" Gallery mean? Sincerely, Watcher.
 * Well, it's a dumb joke that originated on the Final Fantasy Wiki. Well, at least its incorporation into ToC battles was. Basically, it's just another term for comment section. I have no idea how the term originated either. It distresses me, as I am highly allergic to peanuts. Yeah, I do mean the comic that isn't funny at all. -- Auron  Kaizer ( ...Kaizer! ) 22:12, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Not to sound impatient, but it's been more than a week.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  01:07, 27 December 2008 (UTC)

This weeks fight all depends on who is cooler,has better manuver abillaties & who could overall beat the other guy. If zants hand can move up and through walls while a wall master cant but wall masters can throw you out of a dungen from the room right before the boss lair makes it a tricky fight.

Ah, thanks for clearing that up. And that last comment is not me. Sincerely, Watcher.

Something that just occured to me, who chose a purple background for the Wallmasters voting section? It's really hard to read. Sincerely, Watcher.
 * me. Solar flute

Come on, Zant's Hand won already. Sorry Wallmaster but people just don't think you're annoying enough. Portal- Kombat

Next weeks fight should be interesting, so why don't we just get on with it. Everyone is bored out of their skulls. Sincerely, Watcher.
 * I concur. I mean, good lord, it's been almost two weeks and I want to see how the fight I suggested goes. No conflict of interest or anything there... :P Bek The Conqueror 04:42, 29 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll seriously take any fight at this point. Even Tingle vs. CD-i Link, because gee it sure is boring around here. Portal-  Kombat
 * Don't nag. It'll be done. I'd do it now if my goddamn family would just leave me alone. -- Auron  Kaizer ( ...Kaizer! ) 18:14, 29 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, we were just wondering is all. If you don't have time to do it, maybe you should let someone like XYZ or PK do it. Just a suggestion. Sincerely, Watcher.

THAT'S IT..I'm leaving this temple of courage. Everybody here would rather complain then actually fix it. Every Time I can't update all you do is complaon and it drags on for weeks. you'll still see me around here (just got wind waker and twilight princess) and other wikis, but no more at the temple of courage. And to make it clear, I will be ignoring any messages on my talk page about this. Solar flute

I'm incredibly bored, so does anyone mind if I do it? All I need is a good picture of the Group. Sincerely, Watcher.

For the record, the only reason I'm not doing the fights is because I have no idea how. If someone wants to give me instructions on it, I'd be willing to take over. Also, I looked up The_Whole_Group.JPG and it didn't come up with any results. Could you actually put it on a page or something (preferably The Group)?

 * I just put the image on my user page. It should be easy to locate becase it's the only thing there. If someone could point me toward a good template to start, just put it on my user talk page. Bit of a warning, the image is just a bunch of copy/pasted images of the indivvidual members, but it's the best thing I or really anyone else has come up with.

Votes for Arrghus

 * 1) this boss fight was more challenging.  Barinade has four bari around it; this thing has at least 20 of those puffballs, though it feels like 50 when you actually play.  Oh, and it looks cooler. -- Moblin   Slayer  02:20, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) just giving some love to the creepy, one-eyed thing. - SageofWater

 * 1) Barinade is an awesome boss fight. Orefices and stuff like that make me queasy too. It's also the more difficult boss fight. Also, at least the name was somewhat imaginative >.> -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 00:10, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Some things just don't have to be explained.  By the way I love the fight introduction.   Metroidhunter32  00:44, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

 * 4) Barinade was harder, more fun, and cooler. NintendoGamer1124

 * 1) Even though I've never played a Link to the Past, I still thought Barinade was much cooler when I fought him. Blitz2121 21:12, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Simply better. - Leo Lab  00:35, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 3) I wish I could fight this guy with the Keaton Mask! Portal-  Kombat
 * 4) Here's how the fight would work. Arrghus would be unable to sever Barinade's connection to the ceiling, because he only has some clouds. Barinade, however, would be able to the Bari covering him to pull off and zap the clouds. Then, he would easily beat the nearly helpless Arrghus. Gorank 18:15, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

 * 10) Please. Barinade has an electric beam attack. All Arrghus can do is send out his little puffballs. Barinade could zap them into oblivion, or just zap Arrghus. No matter how you look at it, Barinade wins. Sincerelly, Watcher.
 * 11) I totally hate this guy.. I was so frustrated during the battle. But since I beat him with a quarter of a heart left, I vote for him.
 * 12) This guy was so awesome! I really liked him! He was practically Jabu Jabu's brain tumor... thats the way i picture it

 * 14) this was a hard fight although i beat him the first time!

Who did the teple of courage this weak? The heang (set up like a wrestling match) is pretty cool...-- Moblin  Slayer  02:23, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * AuronKaizer. I don't think anyone other than an admin would have the audacity to change it that much.   Metroidhunter32  02:42, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * what do you mean only admin? I'm not an admin, and yet i've been changing it for quite some time. Solar flute

Sorry for being nitpicky, but since Mario and Zelda were both made by Nintendo, there wouldn't be any lawsuits (at least, that's how I think it works).  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  02:44, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * That comment reminds me of that diet coke commercial where coke is trying to sue diet coke for flavor infringment. Can nintendo sue itself?  That is the question.   Metroidhunter32  03:00, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * You'd be surprised. In these days of financial crises that abound the world, they could easily pull that off. And anyone can be bold, you know that. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 03:22, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Possibly, although it would probably be case dismissed. Solar flute

That would be rather stupid. You're right, they could pull that off, but it would be illogical in so many ways. Also, if they were going to sue themselves, they would be more likely to do it over all that Mario stuff in Link's Awakening (they even have a Kirby reference in there). By the way, if that comment about being "bold" was about me editing it myself, I don't really feel a need to. It doesn't make perfect sense, but it's still funny, and 90% of the people that read it probably won't really care about the technicalities of the issue.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  04:27, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It was really just a general comment. If anyone were to make a change like this to the Temple of Courage presentation, they would be free to. Of course, being an admin, with responsibility and all that, I would revert back to the old format if I did not like it. But it's not like any of my own edits cannot be contested, though. I'm just trying to break away from the norm and give the people who come here something new...in this case, lavish presentation with weird jokes. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 05:16, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

By you "not liking it", I'm going to assume that you don't simply mean that you yourself don't like it even though there's absolutely nothing wrong with it, and I will instead assume that you meant that to be a general statement meaning that there is actually something beyond your own personal taste. Again, I really don't have a problem with it, I'm just nitpicking as usual. I actually kind of like it. Makes it feel more user-friendly.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  08:01, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Long time no see, everybody! Don't worry, i'm only here to say hello. Oliver Platt 14:34, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hai dere, I thought you were gonna give us another story of the secret "Uber-Barinade" boss found in Ocarina of Time. Of course, to actually get there, you must have exactly 21 Rupees and 3 Deku Sticks. In the northern wall of Lake Hylia, press Z 500 times when you're close to the wall and you will wind up in the hidden Ice Dungeon, the hardest dungeon in any game ever. The reward for completing it and beating Uber-Barinade is a piece of virtual pie. Right? -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 15:40, 4 December2008 (UTC)

Ha! Thats funny. Not much to say here, Barinade looks like a winner allready. Barinade is probally better remembered. Also, i was gonna make a suggestion, but I cant seem to. Odd. Has Deku vs. Kokiri allready been suggested? King yoshi42 16:54, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

HOW did YOU know that, AK? I thought i was the only one! But please allow me to correct you. You must only press Z 499 times, or else it breaks. Oliver Platt 20:40, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Deku vs. Kokiri has already been suggested, but it doesn't really matter. A given suggestion can be suggested multiple times, just as long as it's not two weeks in a row.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  23:46, 4 December 2008 (UTC)

Hey, AK, can you give me some strategies against the Uber-Barinade? I just can't seem to beat him, and the piece of virtual pie is all that's left for me to clear the game 100%. Oliver Platt 01:23, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, that's sort of the problem isn't it? I was stupid enough to press the Z-button 500 times instead of 499; now my controller is broken, my game is glitched with nude textures on Zelda and Anju and all my savegames have been erased. WHY??????? :( -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 01:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Barinade's core kind of looks like a peahat from space! Portal- Kombat

Guys, I thought we agreed to not encourage Platt. Before posting anything else, think carefully about what happened last week. We don't want a repeat, do we? Sincerelly, Watcher.
 * "We" didn't agree to anything. I don't really care either way, I find Platt's random crap rather funny in nature. Who are you, anyway? -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 02:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

The first time, I admit he was annoying. This time, though, it's been reduced to a small inside joke between Oliver Platt and AuronKaizer. If it really becomes annoying like last time, we may have to try to discourage him, but at this point, he's not doing anything wrong. I agree with AuronKaizer, though - who exactly are you? As I said before, if you're going to become a regular here, you may as well make an account.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  02:51, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I guess you're right. Platt isn't doing anything wrong, and this time around, it's kinda funny. I'm still watching him though. As for who I am, I'm just a fan of the series who doesn't know the ins and outs of becoming a member. Anyone willing to help? Sincerelly, Watcher.

In the top-right corner of any page, there should be 2 green boxes with words in them - Log in and Create an Account. Just click on Create an Account and fill out the information boxes given. It's shouldn't be difficult.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  03:31, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Before I do it, I just have to know. Would any of my personal private information become public? Sincerelly, Watcher.

The only personal information you must give out is your E-mail and your date of birth (there is a "Real name" box, but this is optional). As far as I know, your date of birth stays private to other users, if you're worried about that.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  04:07, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Good thing too. Once you give out even one single solitary slovo of personal information on the net, chances are you'll wake up in a prehistoric bathroom with your leg chained to a pipe. I'm just sayin'. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 04:16, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Guys, the boss doesn't want anything anymore... So i guess i'll just become a normal contributer, without all that mayhem stuff. If you don't want me here, though, just tell me. Oliver Platt 14:15, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Whoever suggestid this weeks fight is a genious. Two jellyfish fighting is just so cool.

Out of curiosity, when is the next "fight" going to be? Dialask77 20:59, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * It was just changed...at least a week. Don't forget to suggest a fight or vote for another. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 01:47, 6 December 2008 (UTC)

Guys, I've got a few things I want to say. First off the bat, Platt, I'm glad you've decided to renounce yourannoying mayhem making ways. I'm not entierly trusting of you yet, but I at least accept you. Second, the above unsigned comment is not me. I have no clue who it is, but it certanly is not Watcher. Finally, I have bad news for you. I consulted with my dad, and I am forbiden from signing up as a user. This was a bit of a blow to me, but I have an idea. Seeing as I act as a user already, I have a question: Is it possible for me to create a user page without officialy signing up? One last thing: Platt, I guess as long as you don't cause any more so called "mayhem", we may as well keep you around. After all, if what you were saying is true, then you were only operating under another user, and even then, it wasn't anything illegal. By the by, since you're done with him, I gotta know, who was he/she? This is a question of intilectual curiosity, and if you say anything along the lines of "Ha, ha, I tricked you all!", then all I can say is "You are a sad, strange little man." Sincerelly, Wathcer.

Why exactly doesn't he want you to become a user? I don't really see anything wrong with making a userpage, but I'm not sure if it's ok to do. Maybe ask an admin? By the way, Moblin Slayer and I were also wondering who Platt's boss was.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  20:17, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

hey guys,I'm wondering if you will make a mercy rule,like in baseball.

We never have before. It's an interesting idea, but we usually need a whole week in order to get the maximum amount of fight suggestions. It's better that way, since some really good fights come up later in the week.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  06:45, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

It has something to do with giving our email address away. By the by, which users could I ask about the user page thing? Sincerelly, Watcher.

It's not like you'll be giving away your password or anything like that. I mean, for that matter, anybody that you Email will know your Email address simply by looking at who sent it. You could probably ask any admin, but AuronKaizer is probably the best one to ask, since he's generally the most active, most consistent admin. He also tends to have a lot of general knowledge about how things should be done on this wiki.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  18:25, 11 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Umm, yeah, thanks for that, but like I said before, something like this you should ask Richard about, what with him being tight with the Wikia project and all. I'm just a regular user like all of you. Although, I guess technically Richard is as well, but he has that Wikia thing like I said. Ask him. There's not like your email will be used for anything other than lost password and suches, I think. You can also disable the function that allows other people to email you, I think. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 18:33, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

I don't really know Richard, so I don't know what his knowledge on things are. You're the most likely to know out of the admins that I actually know. If you say he's more likely to know than you are, though, then by all means, Watcher, contact Richard.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  23:35, 11 December 2008 (UTC)

Guys, I have the feeling that this fight may drag on longer than usual, so could everyone either post more fight suggestions or just pick one. I think that I'm not the only one who gets anoyed when these fights drag on for a while. Sincerelly, Watcher.

I'll handle it tonight. Solar flute

Thanks. If I came off as a jerk, I'm sorry. Sincerelly, Watcher.

Guys, bad news. I just talked to my dad, and he gave me the real reason that I can't join you officialy. According to him, when I joined in talking about Platt last time around, I had started policing the site, something he doesn't want me doing. I don't know what to say except that I cannot join, period. Sincerely, Watcher.

Hang on. Can't you just tell him that you won't police the site now that Platt has stopped?  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  07:14, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, I would, but the problem is that I can never be sure whether or not that will be good enough for him. Someone else may pop up. I'm afraid I can't do anything at all about this. Sincerelly, Watcher.

Watcher couldn't you just enter some nonsense like Ha@Blah.com for your E-mail adress and just not let you dad find out.  Metroidhunter32  00:05, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

You know, you could just not "police" the site at all. Leave the rulebreakers to the admins if your dad doesn't want you to be doing that. As to Metroidhunter32's idea, I personally don't think you should be encouraging anybody to be keeping secrets from their parents, especially about trivial stuff like this.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  01:50, 16 December 2008 (UTC)

I agree with Xykeb. He probably has his reasons, we shouldn't attempt to convince you otherwise. Dialask77
