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 legitimate fight. This is only a suggestion, though.

To make fight suggestions or vote or comment on others, visit Zeldapedia's Discussion page.

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.
 * To vote, either use the Google Form or edit the appropriate section; either way, please sign your vote with your username after your voting text.
 * 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 counted and the winner decided.
 * Refrain from using inappropriate language.

Votes for Guardian (Breath of the Wild)

 * 1) Skyward Sword Guardians are pretty forgettable, where'st Breath of the Wild's are some of the most iconic imagery in the game. Oni Dark  Link 15:52, April 28, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) I have a feeling this will be a bit of a blowout, but that doesn't mean I'll pity vote for the Skyward Sword Guardian. It's the legs, man. Spider legs are terrifying. –  Ceiling   Master  16:09, April 28, 2019 (UTC)

Votes for Guardian (Skyward Sword)
Vote here!


 * 1) I was just playing Din's Silent Realm today, and I also fought a BotW Guardian today, and I have to say- BotW's are at least killable, and with relative ease later on, but the best you can do in a Silent Realm is plan a route and hope. Also, SS's flying ones NEVER STOP CHASING YOU. Basically, here's a simulation. Seeing BotW Guardian: "HidehidehideHIDE" Seeing SS one: "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" Sorry for ranting. -User:ColdDragonmania

Votes for Nabooru
Vote here!


 * 1) Some good fights and hard decisions these past few weeks, but I'm going to go with the OG Gerudo chieftan. She's actually one of the most interesting and complex characters in Ocarina of Time, and Iron Knuckles are an enemy that I really hope Nintendo brings back someday. –  Ceiling   Master  15:21, April 21, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Nabooru was brainwashed for 7 years. That's something not anyone can come away unscathed from.  Green   Rupee  17:59, April 21, 2019 (UTC)
 * 3) Urbosa is just a lame clone of Nabooru. Nothing can top Ocarina of Time's sages. This is why I have problems with Breath of the Wild's story. - AwdryFan1997

Votes for Urbosa
Vote here!


 * 1) While I do love a good Iron Knuckle, I've got to give it to Urbosa. She brings the Thunder. Oni Dark Link 15:12, April 21, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) I'm a sucker for lightning. After all, I am a Thor fan, therefore that makes me an Urbosa fan... OK, I have more reasons than that. First off, she was a motherly figure to Zelda all the way until the end, being good friends with Zelda's mother. Secondly, her combat skills with a sword and shield are amazing, being one of the only two characters we see being able to perform a Perfect Guard. Thirdly, in comparison to Nabooru, she has a rather powerful ambition to destroy Ganon, even after death. Nabooru waited a short moment after death, while Urbosa waited 100 years. --Nathan_The_Asian332 (talk) 21:24, April 21, 2019 (UTC)
 * 3) There is nothing likable about Nabooru. I can't think of anything UNlikable about Urbosa! - User:ColdDragonmania
 * 4) she seems a whole lot powerful - |Spirit Spirit link

In the light blue corner we have Siri – err... the spirit of the Master Sword itself! Respectful and analytic, she develops a sense of humanity and emotion as Link's quest progresses, making the end of her story all the more tragic! '''THIS. IS. FFFFIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!'''

In the garnet corner we have the eponymous Twilight Princess! Cursed to appear as an imp, she is snarky and irreverent; however, she grows to care for Link and the people of Hyrule! '''THIS. IS. MMMMIIIIIDNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!'''

Votes for Fi
Vote here!


 * 1) I like Midna. I really do. But Fi was a special character to me; she never insults you, she's always with you, and the end of Skyward Sword is unbelievably bittersweet. The little "cameo" in Breath of the Wild filled me with joy, and I wouldn't be upset if she came back – or even if there were more Skyward Sword references in future games. –  Ceiling   Master  21:53, April 14, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) I liked Midna, and her character development rivals that of Midna. While both were referenced in Breath of the Wild, Fi had more references and they were more powerful. I have to admit that seeing that reference caused me to geek out a bit, and because of that, I choose Fi over Midna. --Nathan_The_Asian332 (talk) 22:21, April 14, 2019 (UTC)
 * 3) Fi is just so great. She helps Link, never questioning him,even during seemingly pointless sidequests. User:ColdDragonmania
 * 4) Fi and Midna are both LoZ companions I highly admire, but in a  comparison between both of them, I would choose Fi,  because I've always thought that the idea of her being like the humanistic embodiment of the Master Sword was pretty cool, and I kinda think her Spock-like humor is funnier than Midna's humor.  - SpiderLinkSolo2018#9354

Votes for Midna
Vote here!


 * 1) Don't get me wrong, I like Fi, but I can't see myself voting for her over Midna. I can't quite put my finger on the exact reason... I'll just blame low batteries.  Green   Rupee  00:49, April 15, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Minda is less annoying and cooler than Fi, sorry --laatgag#3282
 * 3) Midna just has to be my favourite companion to this day. Yeah sure, she snaps at Link a lot and she doesn't even like him in the beginning.. but look at this character arc! She changes throughout the game as the story progresses and she genuinely starts caring abour Link, Zelda and all of Hyrule. The friendship that blossomed between her and Link is just beautiful, leading to the point where both of them become willing to sacrifice their lives for each other. Midna is sassy and has an attitude to beat. How could I not vote for her! - Hanna#0469
 * 4) It's my favorite character out of the two - WarlordDonkey137#8903
 * 5) Midna has sass. Fi tells you when your batteries are depleting. - iliarahl#3903
 * 6) The way you meet her is cool, and the bond you grow over the game is great. You can even find her helmet in BotW! (With DLC, I think it’s a mask but whatevs) - IPhoneUnboxing
 * 7) Fi is lame - Somothunder#3955

Votes for Groose
Vote here!


 * 1) My man Groose is a walking, talking pompadour, and I absolutely love it. He single-handedly invented the mobile, on-rails catapult, and even made it safe for human use! Nothing can stop the founder of Grooseland. –  Ceiling   Master  19:09, April 6, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) Was there ever The Legend of Revali? No. Was there ever The Legend of Groose? Yes indeed, and it's by far the best legend so far. What has Revali done? Shoot arrows... and I'm pretty sure everyone can do that too. What has Groose done? Make the Groosenator and take on The Imprisoned! Now that's what I'm talking about! --Nathan_The_Asian332 (talk) 20:05, April 6, 2019 (UTC)
 * 3) Groose sounds like goose – laatgag#3282
 * 4) For me, it's Goose over Ravioli, haha. I really love Groose's theme! And that leap of faith cutscene in Skyward Sword makes him get my vote. Groose was either hella brave or just really stupid to do it -- probably both, I love it! - Hanna#0469
 * 5) Goose honestly has the best redemption arc I've ever seen. Except Peridot. Peridot is just too the best for that. - ColdDragonmania
 * 6) Groose is a God . One of the Dieties of old in human form. Many have worshipped him in his religion; Groosianity. One of the best darn personalities in the early timeline!--

Votes for Revali

 * 1) A vote against Revali is just... asinine.  Green   Rupee  19:41, April 6, 2019 (UTC)
 * 2) There isnt really a better option here. They are both cocky and good fliers. The only thing is that revali has wings unlike goose who needs his bird. Thats why i chose revali over goose. – Somothunder#3955
 * 3) Cuz revali is a legitimant warrior and a groose can’t really do much. – realguyKKORD
 * 4) Revali has a better design and actually strives hard to improve his skills. Groose is just lowkey dumb – Palink#5149
 * 5) he best champion - cyko x phantom#7721
 * 6) Because i think he is stronger -Xander💯#7450
