No offense, PCW&T, but would you mind not using your sig template on the Temple of Courage? It resets the vote count (to get a better idea of what I mean, notice how it says that you and I both have the number 1 vote).  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  02:24, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Lameest fight ever. Clear Eyes could wipe both of them out. Scarletspeed7 03:05, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

it's only been five days since the last temple of courage fight. Solar flute 03:30, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Scarletspeed7, don't be a hypocrite. Your suggestions are much worse (frankly, some of the worst I've ever seen), and in case you can't tell, this suggestion was voted the best of the week, whereas as far as I know, none of your suggestions got a single support vote.

Votes for Rito

 * 1) Raptors are so  much better then big fishes. To tell you the truth, twilight princess zora pictures creep me out. thirdly, I would rather have a dragon ruling us then a big fat fish. Solar flute 04:03, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) In Twillight Princess, you have to heal one zora, while another is already dead. The Rito actually save you from Ganon. Plus, Quill is one of my favourite characters from any zelda game. Zelda2108 03:55 17 September (UTC)
 * 3) I just think bird-men are cooler. SilverDragon28 20:01, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) I’m going to vote for the first time in the temple of courage for my favorite race the Rito. I personally think that a bird like race is cooler than a fish one. The ability to fly is far better than the ability to swim I.M.O. --ShutUpNavi 13:39, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) The zora mask is the coolest item I've ever seen but the rito are so many times better. You save zoras, Rito save you.  If it came to a confrontation the Rito would just pick up the zora using his raptor vision to see below the water, take him up about 100 feet and drop him.  At that height water is like concrete.
 * 6) If they evolved then wouldn't they have evolved for the better?--
 * 7) Ritos wear clothing. Zoras are naked.  I mean, Link is a young boy.  What are they trying to pull?  Are there no decency laws in Hyrule?  I feel safer with Link in the Ritos hands. Scarletspeed7 03:42, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 8) birrrdz 4 evah

 * 1) The Ritos actually contribute to society by delivering the mail. I mean, the Zoras are water people and even in the Water Only Place, they don't even bother to help.  The Ritos are a morally superior race.  Also, they wear clothing.
 * 2) They serve a PURPOSE!
 * 3) The Rito are important to the story. Without them, Link would have been finished. Link always has to save the zoras. At least with the rito, Link and them help each other. Also, I think the rito guardian is a lot better protecter than the zoras (Valoo vs Jabu Jabu). finally, the rito backround music is a lot more catchy. it makes them more likeable. it is a good thing the zoras evolved into the rito
 * 4) Ritos are cooler because they can fly. Also The most important Rito Medli looks much cooler than the most important Zora Ruto. Also The Rito are somehow conected to the Zora's (Medli-Laruto) but the zora's aren't conected to the Ritos
 * 5) Rito. 'nough said.
 * 6) i vote for rito cause they aide toon link on wind waker sometimes

Votes for Zora
TheLGamer 9-21-2008
 * 1) I just love the Zoras - a peace-loving species living in the sleek and cool recesses of a river's fountain. The Rito just seemed weird to me. More like evolved humans than Zora...but either way, the Zoras gets my vote. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 02:27, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Same here! I just thought they had something to do with the more entertaining parts of a Zelda franchise: Dark Link in the Water Temple and Morpheel in the Lakebed temple. Also, their mask is the most fun to use in Majora's mask and they just are awesome and have more to do with the entirety of Hyrule in Twilight Princess. The Rito were just...odd. Who would have thought that your mail was actually delieverd by birds? Nevermind thats a stupid question... User:OiXerxes
 * 3) Not sure what it is, but there's something about Zoras that.......relaxes me, I guess. Well, in Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, at any rate. I think they kind of lost their sleek look in the realistic graphics of Twilight Princess, to be honest.....well, I like them more than Rito nonetheless.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  05:33, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) The Zoras have been in the series FAR longer than the Rito have (the Rito have appeared only once). The Zoras have the unique ability to travel not only through water, but on land as well.  The Rito, while they can fly, do not have the ability to travel underwater and survive underwater, unlike their Zora ancestors.  The Rito, without Valoo, would be WOEFULLY ill-equipped to survive on the Great Sea, whereas the Zoras could easily survive and be masterfully equipped to survive it if needs be.  The Zoras are much more sleek and graceful than the Rito to be honest, and their long-running history throughout the series also causes me to tilt toward the more well-known and popular Zora race.  Hero of Time 87 18:31, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) zoras are bad***!! the rito don't even compare to the zoras, look how many times they've been in a game all throughout the series as opposed to the zoras!  zoras all the way!  DarkBeastGanon 18:33, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) zoras, enough said. ZeldaFanatic98 02:02, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) (Crazyfool29) I LUV Zora's they look so cool and they can swim. I mean come on! U cant turn into a Rito in any Zelda Games!
 * 8) I just like the Zoras better. Their style amazes me.  Midnalover89 18:33, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) zoras are just cooler in their look and style, and they're a lot more consequential in their actions throughout the series. LegendofZelda92 18:39, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 10) The blue colour of their skin is much better than brown on those pidgions, besides they apear much more and look cooler. Behellmorph 15:17, 20 Setember 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) The Zoras look more logical. User:OddGoron
 * 12) The Zora have been in many more games than the Rito. The Zora have done much more than the Rito have. NintendoGamer1124
 * 13) The Zoras have just contributed more to the series than the Rito have. McJeff 02:31, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 14) Zoras Should of stayed in Wind Waker, The large Ocean enviroment Seemed perfet for zoras. My only problem is that each game only as ONE Female Zora, Ruto from OoT, LuLu from MM, Even Laruto From Wind Waker, See Pattern? I personaly Think that since Zoras wear no Clothes, They "Nintendo" did not want to start nothing, Or The zora race is kinda like the Geurdo Race, One Female born every 100 years or something.
 * 1) I prefer swimming over flying. And besides, the ritos were dumba**es. - Leo Lab 21:16, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) If a Rito attacked a Zora, the zora would just electrocute it (Majora's Mask)! Owned! XD
 * 2) Zora.
 * 3) The Zora's are great, I love they're kind of character: Smart, Fast but Weak. ^But wouldn't the Rito's but able to dodge it by flying?
 * 4) Zoras, they're my fav Zelda race. Ritos creep me out
 * 5) How many times have you seen a Rito in a Zelda game? Once, Zoras have been in more games and they are overall better.
 * 6) Zoras are one of the best races in the game. That's why they reappear so often.  The Rito barely make one appearance.
 * 7) zoras rock!
 * 8) Zoras are the coolest charaters in the zelda series and ritos are just freaky!!!!! Go ZoRaS!!!! ^-^

I don't think they're related directly, but they are probably sub-species of humans in the games. One is like a bird (flies), and the other is like a fish (swims)...it's hard to tell which is better.

Do anonymous votes count as half a vote? Zelda2108 11:46 21 September 2008

yes they do. Solar flute

TheLGamer, there were at LEAST two female Zora in Twilight Princess.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  01:44, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

in retrospect, maybe kokiri vs. korok would have been better, same theme and same number of appearances. Solar flute

Votes for Vaati

 * 1) |Relyt--Dark Link is usually a mini-boss where as Vaati is usually a actual boss.
 * 2) Dark link has only been the final boss once. Vaati has been twice, and I actually found Dark link easy, and I wasn't using din's fire, the hammer, or anything like that. Solar flute
 * 3) Dark Link is just a darker version of Link. Vaati is an original. Zelda2108
 * 4) UGH. Dark Link is so overated. That's why I'm voting for this dude. You should too! =] User:SageofWater

Anonymous votes

 * 1) Vaati's one of my favorite characters, and in a fight, Vaati has most of the Light Force. Dark Link... not so much.
 * 2) link's way better
 * 3) Vaati could easily defeat Dark Link, Dark Link is only powerful when he can mirror someone, he was made just to fight Link, that's it, he's not prepared to fight Vaati. Vaati has range, power, speed, he could just rain magic down on him, we all know how effective Din's fire was on Dark Link.
 * 4) Vaati is way cooler then Dark Link! Vaati is also more powerful. Why would anyone make him final boss if he wasn't powerful? Dark Link is just a lousy minion. And also: Vaati has a cape!

 * 1) This dude is more mysterious and cooler--
 * 2) Technically Vaati isn't a minish in most game. A floating eyeball is a lot less cool than an evil clone of Darkness - Count Caterpie
 * 3) Vaati is awesome, but I simply like Dark Link more.....And for those of you that say that Dark Link is usually a miniboss and Vaati is an actual boss, fighting Dark Link in Ocarina of Time without Din's Fire is, in my opinion, the hardest battle in any video game I've ever played, miniboss or not.  Xykeb   Yvolix   Zraliv  06:10, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) Dark Link is just plain awesome. You don't even really know where he comes from. SilverDragon28 19:19, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) Vaati was never a good villain in my opinion...Dark Link is a being of a diametrically opposed attitude, no past and seemingly no motive for being a massive pain in the ass for Link. You be the judge of what's cooler. -- Auron  Kaizer Talk loud, hit harder! 21:59, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) Dark link is awesome.Annoying but awesome.Young link
 * 7) Personally, Dark Link was the only hard challenge I found in a Zelda game, an he is a f'ing miniboss! That makes him more awesome than any secondary character that became a boss out of nowhere! User:OiXerxes
 * 8) Dark link is awsome and the ocorania of time could probally shread anyone other than link.  Metroidhunter32  01:48, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) Please. Dark Link is just terrifying. He's in a class with guys like Ridley from Metroid - the representative of darkness, destined to fight his polar opposite until Kingdom Come. Dark Link wins this one. User:Hello Waterface
 * 10) Dark Link is PURE AWESOME! (I would put an inside joke here, but that is only slightly more pointless than this message)- Leo Lab 22:26, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 11) Dark Link is pure awesome. If they made a game with him as a major character, I'd be like "woot!".  McJeff 23:08, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 12) this guy is WAY cool. and he is MYSTERIOUS!! he's hard to fight in OoT and he's way more difficult than Vaati. '[[User:PhantomGanonUsurper27|Murch  (dah dah dah  daaaaah!) 22:05, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Dark Link very much mirrors Link, and Link has beaten Vaati on more than one occasion.  He was a hard enemy in the Water Temple as well as the Great Palace, so Dark Link would ultimately best Vaati given that his source (Link) was able to do so.  Hero of Time 87 21:44, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

 * 1) Dark doppelganger's are cool in my option, from Dark Samus, to Shadow the Hedgehog, and even Bass, but Dark Link rule's them all, he was really cool in OoT.
 * 2) In Oot, Dark Link would kick your butt if you just used your sword on him. He would jump on it, and slice you. It took me 4 tries to kill him, 2 with the sword, one with the megaton hammer, and finally one with the biggorn's sword. He is just totally awesome.
 * 3) dark link is kooler and links double so he would b able 2 beat the other person old whats his face
 * 4) dark link has always been awesome. it was one of the better mini-bosses of ocarina of time, plus he looks awesome. dark versions rule, and are somewhat essential in many games, when you consider the list, and how few are actually final bosses, final bosses are never quite as awesome as lesser minions.
 * 5) Should of been the final boss in the shadow temple.
 * 6) Dark Link is just better period.
 * 7) He also is fun to fight, or at least more than Vaati.
 * 8) If Link can defeat Vaati easily, I'm thinking Dark Link could do the same.
 * 9) Never fought Vaati so Dark Link!
 * 10) Dark Link is awesome
 * 11) Dark Link is the only boss I go back to OoT and play just for playing.

Actually, Solar flute, Dark Link never served Vaati. Dark Link served Ganon, and Ganon sent to free Vaati. PGU27
