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.

It's all just beginning! Now, let's meet this week's contestants, our shy, music-loving flautists, in the ring!

In the red corner is a mysterious lad who is found in a haunted grove. Having found an entrance into the Dark World and subsequently stuck, he wants only for someone to retrieve his flute and play for him the song which he loves. His apparition, which appears in the Light World is beloved by animals, but disappears whenever someone comes too close. THIS... IS... THE FLUUUUUUUUUUUUTE BOOOOOOOOOOOOY!!!

In the orange corner is an impish creature who resides within the Lost Woods. Unusually shy towards those of another race and hostile towards adults, he befriends only those who know a special song of the forest. Being the mischievous creature that he is, he does not pay full price for the mask which is sold to him. THIS... IS... THE SKUUUUUUUUUUUULL KIIIIIIIIIIIID!!!

There have been a great many legendary fights in the Temple of Courage thus far. Will this live up to the legacy and become indicative of the future? That is up to you, our beloved voters! Now let us all raise our glasses (the drinking kind), have a toast and then... LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUMBLE!!!

Votes for Flute Boy

 * 1) Flute Boy's story was much cooler and much more mysterious. It got me the Shovel, didn't it? Flute Boy is a badass. I like the Skull Kid, but his Ocarina of Time appearance ain't enough, and the explanations of his tacked-on connection to Majora's Mask didn't help much. Hey, the Flute Boy becomes a tree-like creature in the end? Happy ending? Doubt it. Bleak as hell. --Auron  Kaizer !  22:35, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) I like him more than Ingo. Well actually I do not. But I do like him more than Skull Kid who scares me.Ingo the great (talk) 22:37, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) The Flute Boy had a deeper character than OoT Skull Kid. Still, I'm tempted to change my vote just because of the Skull Mask. - Isdrakthül  22:39, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) He's so awesome, even ostriches come from Africa to Hyrule to listen to his music. Those African animals can acknowledge how freaking fierce he is all the way in Africa. --  Haru Mclean Namikaze  Anonymous.png Kana: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn

Votes for Skull Kid

 * 1) He's Skull Kid! How could you not like Skull Kid! He's a mysterious boy in the woods. No, he's basically a mysterious entity in the woods who fades in and out and wants to play music with you and wants you to teach him a song. What's not to love?! --BassJapas (talk) 22:40, May 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) He's from MM Just pointing out the way most people will vote for this guy... I just like the Skull Kid better. I think I just like the way he magically vanishes in OoT. The one problem with him in OoT is that he stiffs you. In MM... he causes Link to become a Deku, makes the moon start coming down on Termina, and a lot of other crazy stuff. Hm.  -- Deku  Stick   Master 
 * 3) Skull Kid is the man. as much as I like the Flute Boy and want to give him my support, I can't make myself vote against this guy. a lot more nostalgia here. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 00:28, May 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) Skull Kid is one of the only villains in the franchise that I despised yet could empathize with at the same time. Portal-  Kombat

 * 1) Skull kid is awesome because he leads you through the forest in twilight princess (even if he is a pain)

So there you go. Undeniable proof that one day the Fairies will return to unleash their wrath upon us all! Unleash it I say! Unleash it good! They, they just can't see it yet. Are they blind? Blind as a Keese if you ask me. Oh...they'll see it. I'll make them see it. They'll call me crazy but i'm not crazy!

Week 99: Byrne vs. Linebeck
{| style ="width: 100%;" LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMENNNNNNNNNNNNN!!! Brought to you by the mythical, benevolent Fairies of the Temple of Courage, we present to you the 99th battle for supremacy! This week we have two beloved characters from recent installments in the series. Both are initially indifferent and uncaring towards the hero of the games, but become trusted allies to the point that they sacrifice themselves for the greater good! Let us meet our two combatants in the ring.

In the green corner is a mysterious man skilled in martial arts and has one mechanical arm, which boasts great strength. Despite being the second-hand man of the hero's antagonistic counterpart, his loyalty is to battle, not any one "master." Eventually, he sacrifices his life for Link, and his true nature is revealed. THIS... IS... BYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYRNE!!!

In the blue corner is an egotistical, sarcastic and self-serving treasure hunter with his very own steam ship. Initially, he agrees to aid the hero only for the promised reward of a huge amount of treasure, but he grows to like him and becomes wrapped up in the events leading to the defeat of evil and the restoration of peace to the World of the Ocean King. Also, his grandson would later help a descendant of the hero during another quest. THIS... IS... LIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINEBECK!!!

Next week may be the 100th battle in the Temple, but firstly, we have a battle against two choice characters here, so there is nothing to say but... LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Byrne

 * 1) Heh. I know this bad guy has a soft side towards the end of Spirit Tracks but hey, I have no idea how Linebeck can attack...Pie 145
 * 2) There was just something about him from the beginning that made me like him. --BassJapas (talk) 00:09, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) Normally I would go with Linebeck, but Byrne's boss battle and music barely puts him ahead of Linebeck for me. J-man Zelda Fan (talk) 00:49, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) My negative disposition towards Linebeck hinders me form voting for him. Besides, |3yr|\|3 15 4 |33457! --  Haru Mclean Namikaze  Anonymous.png Kana: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn

 * 7) Meep. M33P. mEEp. Meep Meep (talk) 15:49, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 8) He is a total bad@$$. Super duh... Alpaca [[File:Doggie Mask.gif]] 15:52, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) Even though his betrayal was highly predictable and he was injured for half the game Staven still makes a great villain with a perfect theme song, a bad ass gauntlet and the best and one of the only death scenes in the series. O yeah he's left handed too that might not make a difference to you but it does to me Oni Dark  Link 17:38, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 10) URK!  It pains me to even vote for one.  Spirit Tracks was a huge letdown for me, but Phantom Hourglass?  Oh gosh..... if I could i'd erase it from history.  It is in the same mental placement in my mind as the cd-i games, at least they had DINNERS and you could listen to peaceful melodies of MAH BOI!@@@#@$~!---Tehmeganerd (talk) 23:51, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) Total badass--DarkTriforce (talk) 01:48, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 12) Got to vote here but the whole Han Solo of Zelda thing almost made me change my vote Birdman5589 (talk)
 * 13) ^^ This almost got me, too, but Byrne shares the rugged smuggler's most important quality...his 1337ness. Not that Linebeck isn't, obviously, but his is of a different breed. Jedimasterlink (talk) 02:58, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) Totally and completely Byrne. Amazing theme music, amazing boss music, and the two other music pieces that bear his name (Byrne's Helping Hand and In Rememberance of Byrne) are AMAZING. He has a cool backstory, he's badass, he has better hair, I completely adore his relationship with Zelda and would probably be shipping them if she was older, and, most importantly, I don't want to slap him. Which kind of helps! --Ryttu3k (talk) 10:18, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 15) I just love his theme song. It's super awesome! He's one of the best Zelda characters ever! Paffe 14:49, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * 16) Nice arm. /\/\r.6r33&#124;\&#124; &#124;-&#124;@T (talk) 23:53, May 18, 2010 (UTC)Mr.Green hat
 * 17) I don't have any PH experience, and Byrne is one of the best characters ever rendered to the DS graphics. (PS. It's a tie now!) LunarChild (talk) 04:27, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 18) Byrne is totally better than linebeck. Linebeck wouldn't even be able to attack Byrne before he would be totally pwned by Byrne.--War62 (talk) 15:43, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 19) I'm trying to think of something witty to say......ah, screw it. Go Byrne! Sir Real (talk) 20:47, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * 20) I vote for Byrne, because he has a cool metal arm, like the protagonist of my favorite anime, Full Metal Alchemist (I'm not a fanboy of it, just a fan, another relationship between FMA and ST is that they are both protagonized by a blond, small guy and a soul in an armor),he has a cool music theme and he is powerful. Linebeck is just a greedy idiot, so I go for Byrne--Grax638 (talk) 22:24, May 19, 2010 (UTC).
 * 21) linebeck just annoyed me such as the first time you met him he sticks u in a trapDevdude (talk) 04:28, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * 22) I was endeared more to Byrne when I first played Spirit Tracks than I was to Linebeck at the start of Phantom Hourglass. And I'm a total sucker for the evil-to-good transition. --Zachary Kazmare (talk)
 * 23) People, it's a ninja with a freaking cyborg claw arm. WHO THE HECK DO YOU THINK I'M GOING TO VOTE FOR? Haingi 3:12 PM, May 20, 2010 (GMT-8)

Anonymous votes

 * 1) This week, my vote goes to the one I don't hate with a passion.  As in, the vote goes to Byrne.
 * 2) This guy is so cool. Byrne's mechanical arm is cool, his theme song is cool, in general, he is cool.
 * Ha, this is my first TOC vote, and of course it goes to Byrne...I mean he's a warrior born, no offense, but Linebeck is just a self-absorbed treasure hunter that nobody likes...
 * 1) This is an all round cool guy, who is a character that I actually like. Go Byrne!!!
 * 2) When I saw him for the first time I was like, wow he is awesome. And his arm is so strong it whipped Link aside easily, which lead to more laughter in the game.
 * 3) look if it was a fight, Byrne would win. If it was for heroics Byrne would win because he sacrificed his life for link. in character design Byrne looks much better. Byrne gets my vote because the only thing Linebeck can get an award for is cowardice.
 * 4) Just look at him.
 * 5) simple comparison of in-game actions. Byrne fights and does things that actually mean something to the plot besides what he has in common with Linebeck, where as Linebeck just sails the boat and yells at Link.
 * 6) Dekustickmaster's vote is so twisted, I don't even no where to start! 1. Yes, the reaction was memorable, but his snobbishness throughout the game makes him a rotten character. 2. Linebeck's theme song was completely FORGETTABLE! 3. Linebeck did go against Link. He shook him senseless in the beginning, and got posessed near the end. 4. HIS COAT IS NERDY! 5. A punch that can break a sword in two AND knock out a grown man is TEN TIMES better than shaking a guy. 6. Linebeck swung a sword ONCE in the final fight. Byrne, on the other hand, has insanely cool (and powerful) martial arts that he is not afraid to use! ANNNNNNNND, he sacrificed himself in the end. 7. What kind of reason is HE IS LINEBECK. I say, HE IS BYRNE, by Tektites! 8. Linebeck is wayyyyyyyyyyyyy too cowardly annnnnd stuuuuupid to be the winner. HE IS A SELFISH, SNOBBISH, WACKED MORON!!!
 * 7) linebeck just annoyed me such as the first time you met him he sticks u in a trap     < This
 * 8) "You cannot give up now! Your body has the sacred power of the spirits! Now concentrate on reclaiming it! After all... Didn't you say you wanted to have words with me?"

Votes for Linebeck

 * 1) It's Linebeck. Freakin' Linebeck. His very name alone owns Staven Byrne. Byrne is exceptionally cool, but come on, it's Linebeck! The very own Han Solo of Zelda, but somehow even more awesome. He made Phantom Hourglass. Well, err, you know, he didn't make it make it, but he, you know. He made the game. Without him... I don't even want to imagine it. LINEBECK, LINEBECK, LINEBECK!!! (Psst, anyone who thinks Linebeck appears in two games... you know what you are. Also, LINEBECK!!!) --Auron  Kaizer !  23:58, May 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Linebeck is sweet. And sarcastic. Easily one of my favorite characters.--  C  2  / C C  00:00, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) This is a hard choice. I'm just gonna go with my gut. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 00:05, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 4) When in doubt, go with the guy who's funnier. -Minish   <font color="#003366">Link  00:08, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) Awesome, awesome, and double awesome while clicking CTRL-SHIFT-AWESOME... -  McGillivray  227  00:44, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 6) I like both of them, but LINEBECK MUST WIN, for a variety of reasons. 1. Who can forget his reaction after that wish Oshus promised him? No, really, who? 2. Byrne's theme song is good, but Linebeck's is much better in my opinion. 3. Linebeck accompanies Link throughout the whole adventure of PH, and isn't one of the antagonists, soo... 4. His coat. I mean, look at it. 5. You wonder how Linebeck can attack? Well, he can easily beat Byrne by using SHAKE ATTACK!!! SHAKE ATTACK is a OVER 9000 power physical move that causes confusion. He's already used it on Link before in the TotOK, and you know what that looks like, right? *Link staggers around holding the key with his eyes spinning* 7. He actually fought Bellum, unlike Byrne who only made a shield for Link.  And 8. HE IS LINEBECK. -- Deku  Stick   Master 
 * 7) A close contest... but Byrne doesn't do himself any favors by using the classic cliche Nintendo villain line, "All who stand in my way will be eliminated." Yes, eliminated. Because as we all know, villains don't kill, they just "eliminate" people. I can't find any other way to discredit Byrne, and I'm already struggling to do so... but there's nothing wrong with Linebeck, just lots of things that are awesome.  Portal-  Kombat
 * 8) Linebeck is amazing! He is better than Byrne in many aspects. Don't get me wrong, they are both awesome, but Linebeck has more character. Linebeck is in my top ten best characters of all time. Byrne is maybe in my top 20. --Braelolk [[File:Gold Ball & Chain Trooper (A Link to the Past).gif]]
 * 9) First and foremost, Linebecks's theme is simply just amazing.  Second, Byrne really does portray the typical villan pretty well.  Third, HE IS LINEBECK!  Fourth, HE IS LINEBECK!  Yeah that's pretty much it.  Darax King Dodongo.png
 * 10) He's Linebeck. That is all the reason you need. Also, I like his coat. It's a cool coat. AK's right, he IS the Han Solo of Zelda... does that make Link Luke Skywalker, then? -<font color ="#68E0D0">Stars  <font color ="#187868">talk  http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/pyroac/Starssprite.gif 18:43, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * 11) Without this gut Link would have never even made it off of Mercay Island. Plus, you have to love his excentric personaility. This guy makes me laugh, he's awsome. Zoma89
 * 12) Actually, I like Byrne a lot, I mean, he IS awesome in 100 differant ways, but for all the reasons above, and for my special reason, he gets the vote. What reason you may ask? His Super-special-AWESOME! heroic theme moment after he is promised a wish. Plus, Line Solo FTW! Jioplip
 * 13) Linebeck has a coat. If Byrne and Linebeck were in a freezer guess who would live. Linebeck of course cuz Byrne woul freeze to death. Linebeck's coat would keep him alive unlike Byrne's t shirt. Linebeck's better and thank you for your time.       A human
 * 14) Byrne's cool and everything, but Linebeck is just...better. Don't really know what else to say. He just...is.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  23:14, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

 * 16) Lineback is awesome. First off, his theme is the best in that pile of crap soundtrack that is phantom hourglass, AND he is just plain awesome. I also liked his little sidequest in ST where you have to use his letter and find his grave and stuff.Hylianhero777 (talk) 19:28, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

 * 21) He's the best Zelda character of all time. zdmshadow
 * 22) I've changed my mind. I'm not sure why I didn't vote for Linebeck in the first place. Maybe I was distracted by a certain someone's huge, mechanical arm... <font color="#663300">T <font color="#996600">h <font color="#CC6600">e Midna Laughing.png ™  01:09, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Yeah he's awesome because he has a piece of paper. "Super Paper Cut!"
 * 2) Its Linebeck, I mean Byrne was cool and all but I liked Linebeck better 'cause he was funnier and had a EPIC theme song.
 * 3) I like his theme song and PH is a better game. It is also much funner to be on a boat than a train.
 * 4) I love both Staven (byrne) and Linebeck. Buth Linebeck is in both SS and PH. Pluss he is way more cool than Staven (byrne).
 * 5) Linebeck is more awesome than Byrne. His Shake Attack pwns all. :D
 * 6) Go linebeck!!!!!!!! He pwns Byrne.
 * 7) Really... there's no competition here. Linebeck is amazing. Case closed.
 * 8) He's awesome
 * 9) Better theme song, despite Brynes being kinda awesome, also his hat in the second game kicks ass. as does his line "That ring was worth three times that much... crud."
 * 10) This was actually a tough one, but Byrne only helped Link 'cause he got shot in the face. Other than that, this is a really close vote.
 * 11) Definitely Linebeck. We've been through 2 games with a Linebeck, and Byrne was an evil person who tried to kill Link. Linebeck may have been annoying sometimes, but so was Midna, right? Yay Linebeck!!!!!
 * 12) Linebeck pwns Bryne
 * 13) made of win with a slight dose of awsome
 * 14) Dude....Linebeck is awesome. His sarcastic, entertaining personality, cowardice, and eventual wisdom were some of my favorite parts of Phantom Hourglass. Byrne was so much less entertaining, brave as he is.
 * 15)  He's hilarious!!!! hard choice, tho.
 * 16)  How would you have gotten around without Linebeck? Ungrateful people. Besides, Linebeck - ebec  = Link and Link is the hero. :)

Thank god I'm not the only one who loved Byrne's fight music! --BassJapas (talk) 02:05, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I loved the fight and the music, but he was super easy. I only lost 1/2 of a heart. For such a buff character, you'd think those attacks would do a little bit more damage. Portal-  Kombat
 * I, um... Think I died once because I didn't exactly know what I was doing. The music in boss fights always gets me. The mini-boss music always gets me in Wind Waker. --BassJapas (talk) 03:54, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

And look now, we have people voting for Bryne because he's ripped, and has a giant claw. Not saying you can't do that, I just feel that it makes more sense to vote for the one you like. This is kinda the thing that will happen with Flute Boy vs. Skull Kid. Aside from a few honest votes, the majority of the Skull Kid votes will be: He's from MM/He has Majora's Mask/He is from Majora's Mask/etc. And if I'm wrong great, I would really love to see that people vote for the one they like more.

 * Which side? Cause if it's for Linebeck, I think I understand why. More funner ARGH! I'm a grammar nerd/english freak/grammar pirate/aspiring author the word funner doesn't exsit. and i don't think PH is more fun the ST BassJapas (talk) 02:18, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Funner is a word: Look here. However, "More funner" IS improper use of grammar... That person actually wrote "Much funner" which is proper grammar. -- Deku Stick   Master 
 * MY TEACHERS LIED TO ME!!! BassJapas (talk) 02:38, May 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's also because he turned this into a game vs. game fight (which people do way too often) and then turned it into a mode-of transportation fight from there. This is me, but I can't log in right now. -Isdrakthül

He/she voted for Linebeck so thank you, but Anonymous vote #4 for Linebeck is just...wow. Even after AK made a warning. Darax

 * Wow... I thought more people would get the sarcasm... I was refrencing that not only did the anonymous voter say Linebeck was alive in ST, but he also called it SS instead of ST. that why I said "Spirit ship" instead of spirit tracks.

Yeah, Yeah, Anon voter #9 on Byrne's side. Let's see how you did, shall we? 1. I referred to the reaction for the reason that it was memorable. It doesn't matter what he did in the other parts of the game. i didn't refer to them specifically. 2. I stated my opinion, and you stated yours. We're both technically right. I was stating it as a reason why I voted for him. 3. Linebeck only went against Link in the end because he was possessed. He apologized, too, even though it wasn't even his fault. And I referred to the shaking thing. SHAKE ATTACK PWNS ALL!!! 4. Your opinion is that Linebeck's coat is nerdy? Well, MY opinion is that Byrne's "bandanna thing" around his mouth makes him look like a terrorist. Happy? Also, nerds are the best people on Earth, I'm one myself, so yeah. (That's my opinion.) 5. How would you know that? Shaking can cause severe whiplash and internal bleeding, and if prolonged, it CAN kill a person. That's why you don't shake babies. And Link doesn't count as a baby, either... Linebeck COULD kill Byrne by shaking him. 6. Linebeck actually helped fight Bellum, as I said. That single decision saved everyone. What did Byrne do? He lost to two kids, got beat up by his employer (that says something about his work), and all he did in the BIG EPIC FINAL BATTLE was make a shield. Yep. A shield, instead of helping to fight. 7. HE IS LINEBECK refers to all the reasons i already listed, PLUS those my fellow Linebeck supporters listed. 8. He may be those things, but he did change in the end. So did Byrne. I say Linebeck changed more though, he DID help fight (Cowardly gets striked out), he declined a wish for treasure (Selfishness gets striked out), and at the end when Ciela talks to him, he turns around for some reason. I think that he was actually going to say goodbye, but he passed back into the other world before he could. While Linebeck was getting possessed, he said Link's name, possibly for thanking him/asking for help. Byrne didn't talk at all while he was getting killed my Malladus. -- Deku Stick   Master

Week 98: Dekadin vs. Kamo
{| style ="width: 100%;" 21 > 19 LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLADIES AND GENTLEMENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!! It is now time for this week's battle, being the ninety-eighth in the series. The Spectacular 100th Fight is looming ever closer, but we mustn't lose sight of the present, and this week, we have a very special battle for you. A battle between two depressed (and depressing) social recluses who shun the society in which they find themselves. However, with the public spotlight now thrust upon them, which of these anti-social characters will walk out the winner? Let us see what has brought these two combatants here today.

In the purple corner is a young Labrynnan boy who likes living in darkness. Reader of touching literature, he does not initially appear to have that great of a sense of humor, but show him a joke manifested as an oversized moustache and he will laugh as heartily as you'll ever be likely to. THIS... IS... DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKAAAAAAAAADIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!

In the light red corner is a young man from the Great Sea, who has appeared in the Temple of Courage before. Convinced that nobody understands how he feels, hopelessly in love with a girl, he gazes at the moon, which appears to comfort him. While maintaining an uncaring façade, a sensitive, likable guy is found underneath. THIS... IS... KAAAAAAAAAAAAMOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

And now, these two similar characters will battle it out in the ring. This week's battle is sponsored by Johnson & Co., your one-stop shop for legal advice. If there is anyone who wishes to object to this battle, speak now or forever hold your peace? Nothing? No? Good. Then there is nothing to say but... LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLET'S GET RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREADY TO RRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMBLE!!!

Votes for Dekadin

 * 1) I just thought it was kind of cool to see one of those usually chipper (albeit sometimes weird and funny) kids as a self-obsessed, anti-social guy. Used the same sprites even. Also, the Funny Joke scene is hilarious. Well, when I was a kid anyway. Now I just laugh at the fact that I laughed at it. Oh, and I wanna read the Touching Book. His name is also cool. It just is. Sounds a bit like a Final Fantasy character. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  01:18, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) Second vote! He looks sadder, and every vote counts. Also, his name almost has "Deku" in it, and he likes mustaches. <font color="#663300">T <font color="#996600">h <font color="#CC6600">e Midna Laughing.png ™  01:19, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 3) His plea moves me more, and his joy touches me. He gets my vote. <font color="Orange">The Gerudo Guy
 * 4) He is less weird and he is a freakin' kid! Kamo just goes googlie eyed over the moon at night, so he does't need a home, but this boy needs one. So pity vote... <font color="OliveDrab">Super <font color="DarkSlateBlue">duh... <font color="SteelBlue">Alpaca [[File:Doggie Mask.gif]] 01:53, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 5) "I'm an emo kid, non-conforming as can be, you'd be emo, too, if you looked just like me. I've got paint on my nails, and make-up on my face, I'm almost emo enough to start shaving my legs." this song describes this fight. -- Haru Mclean Namikaze Anonymous.png Kana: ナミカゼ ハ ル マクリーン, Romaji: Namikaze Haru Makurīn

 * 8) Aww, he's a coot wickle emo kiddie. You just want to hug him. Can't say the same for Kamo. Oh, and Dekadin has BLUE HAIR =D -<font color ="#68E0D0">Stars  <font color ="#187868">talk  http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y27/pyroac/Starssprite.gif 06:54, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 9) This guy was awesome and I dont care about the moon Octorok (The Minish Cap).gif D m e r k a 10  Octorok (The Minish Cap).gif
 * 10) Kamo kind of annoyed me, what with his whole "Linda doesn't like me and the moon is my only joy and nobody understands me and I hate everything and you're so annoying because just like everybody else you don't understand me but oh wait you do understand me well here's something for your trouble" business. Dekadin was an overall better character. He was self-absorbed, just like all stereotypically depressed characters, but at least he didn't wallow in self-pity all the time until finally meeting a kid that can take color photos of a huge chunk of rock going in circles around the planet that somehow means that he understands him.

 * 13) I detest depression  but I think Dekadin portrayed it better. Like why does Kamo act completely out of character at night even when there is no moon. Stick to one personalty and only change is something life changing happens! <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark  <font color="#007A00">Link 16:10, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * 14) I see a bit of myself in this guy, likes book, sorta depressed, and never gets any jokes, but especially the depressed part.  Plus Kamo is just...... pathetic compared to this guy, he only cares about himself and his large hunk of light reflecting geode in space.  ---Tehmeganerd (talk) 19:49, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

 * 1) Anyone who loves the moon is cool in my book.
 * 2) i agree with the comment above. and you kind of have to feel sorry for the dude
 * 3) He's the only one who's game I've played
 * 4) come on, why is moon-watching Kamo losing again? Someone who spents his time looking at the moon should easily beat a guy who doesn't even get out of the darkness.
 * 5) How can anyone NOT see the awesomeness of this guy?! I like how realistic he feels compared to the cartoon silliness of most of WW's cast (in my opinion)
 * 6) Only because Oracles is the only Zelda game I've never played. Plus, Kamo lost to Grog last time so gotta give him some credit. Final reason: as the comments above, Kamo has true emotion and you can really relate to him.
