how many Zelda characters beat Sonic next contest if it happens around BotW2's launch window |
Try
however hard you want Ganondorf is staying where he is, just strong
enough for us to think with a little boost maybe this time he can pull
off an upset, but not weak enough to be an upset victim 1v1. Breath of the Wild 2 could be All Ganondorf All The Time and that wouldn't change anything! Not a stinky alien. :( Nintendo Switch Code: SW-5719-6555-8388 (edited 1/25/2022 1:28:40 PM)report |
Hey, no one would've expected Zelda beating Snake and Mario before BotW. Anything could happen. It's kinda funny how there's no real "fourth strongest Zelda character." Wonder if any of the BotW characters would be decent? Mipha probably the strongest of them, but I still wouldn't expect much... All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

Just need Epona to come back for BotW2 |
also everyone knows the real best BotW character is Prince Sidon *gleam* |
If Ganondorf gets butt shots like Zelda in the first BotW, he could beat multiple Noble Niners. It's like paying for bubble wrap. -transience on Final Fantasy: All the Bravest |
redrocket posted... If Ganondorf gets butt shots like Zelda in the first BotW, he could beat multiple Noble Niners.I wonder how much contest strength that butt shot was worth. It had to be worth like, at least an extra 3% on her opponents. It's Reyn Time. |
approximately 13.33% just off the top of my head |
Yeah, this site loves that stuff. Tifa would be weaker than Aeris if they had the same cup size, haha. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
Mac Arrowny posted... Yeah, this site loves that stuff. Tifa would be weaker than Aeris if they had the same cup size, haha.I think you can expand that to 'people in general' love that stuff. Zelda (the character, and the series too I guess) has never been more popular on the internet in general than she is right now. It's Reyn Time. |
I mean, this site being over 90% male contributes. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
Zelda never had big boobs though. Maybe Aerith could have been stronger with more trunk. |
Mac Arrowny posted... I mean, this site being over 90% male contributes. If this were reversed, maybe it would be Cloud and Link who are the most popular characters |
Squall would be a Noble Niner for sure imhotbqh |
What non-Noble Niners would be expected beat Ganondorf anyways? I’d go with: -Zelda -Pikachu -Tifa -Mega Man X -Luigi -Bowser (maybe? Wouldn’t consider it much of an upset either way.) -Yoshi (see above. Some historical reasons to be skeptical of Yoshi in particular but those are ancient at this point and he looked fine against Pikachu in 2018.) [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] |
Yoshi hasn't looked that good in a long time |
I don't remember Yoshi looking bad aside from 2008, but he's often wasted in bracket placement. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. |
yeah
looking at his contest history I guess he hasn't really faced anyone we
can actually measure him against in a long time aside from Pikachu (edited 1/25/2022 4:45:10 PM)report |
tag Its a day wasted if you don't cheer yourself up! |

Zelda fourth-place fourpack: Midna/Epona Vaati/Skull Kid Come watch me on Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/gameryogi azuarc beat me. |
Epona > Skull Kid O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |
Vaati is definitely last there. Guinness Book of World Records is the name of the diary that belongs to azuarc, the winner of the Game of the Decade II guru contest. |

I’d probably even take Groose over Vaati. Zant and if allowed Agahnim would be better too, though they wouldn’t beat Skull Kid either. [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] (edited 1/27/2022 6:15:45 AM)report |
OoT side characters should be in discussion as well just because they are from OoT. Malon can probably do decent. congrats to azuarc, our GotD2 guru! (edited 1/27/2022 7:17:18 AM)report |
As would Saria. As would Darunia. Not so much confidence for Richard the Hyrule Market dog, but I'm not ready to completely count him out either. And this is gonna sound like a joke but I do think the Great Deku Tree could prove dangerous in a contest. O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |

Link the Goron. My bracket looked like random picks compared to his. Congrats to azuarc for winning the GotD 2020 Guru Contest! |
Skull Kid would not do well, and I'm always kind of stunned when I hear anyone have anything above apathy for him The Moon would be a better representative from Majora's Mask than him. |
Majora > Skull Kid? [NO BARKLEY NO PEACE] [NO Azuarc NO PEACE] |
Skull kid would only have strength if the picture has him wearing Majora's Mask. Congratulations to azuarc for winning the guru challenge |
Bump My bracket looked like random picks compared to his. Congrats to azuarc for winning the GotD 2020 Guru Contest! |

Surprised there's been no announcement yet. Where are we at in the "longest period between contests" tracker? Props to azuarc, the current Guru of the Decade. Wear this title with pride! |
It's never too late to break the dry spell...! O P E R A T I O N O U S T : Nominate SHEIK! https://i.imgur.com/OpudFxm.jpg |
We
need to start bringing in the revenue to get more contests. Everyone
here should become a Tiktok influencer and bring people to the site. Azuarc is my favorite arc of the Game of the Decade 2020 anime. |
charmander6000 posted... Skull kid would only have strength if the picture has him wearing Majora's Mask. I can't imagine Skull Kid without it if he makes it into a contest. Assuming he were to receive a Majora's Mask pic, who would you take in these top-of-my-head 1v1 matches? Skull Kid vs. Ridley Skull Kid vs. King K. Rool Skull Kid vs. Diddy Kong Skull Kid vs. King Boo Skull Kid vs. Peach Skull Kid vs. Bowser Jr. Skull Kid vs. Meta Knight Skull Kid vs. King Dedede Skull Kid vs. Shulk Skull Kid vs. Pyra Skull Kid vs. Raiden (MGS) Skull Kid vs. Magus Skull Kid vs. Zidane Skull Kid vs. Yuna Skull Kid vs. Jessie Rasberry Skull Kid vs. DoomSlayer Skull Kid vs. Diablo Skull Kid vs. Lloyd Irving Skull Kid vs. Phoenix Wright ~Jacksonville Jaguars~ |
Just jot me down for "Not Skull Kid" on all of those |
I think Skull Kid could win some of those... "That was unnecessarily dramatic". - NY Mets motto (courtesy of InnerTubeHero) Congratulations to azuarc, the guru of gurus and winner of GotD 2020! |
Maybe King Boo or Bowser Jr |
I feel like regular Boo would do better than King Boo. Have we gotten generic enemies other than Pokemon in the contests? All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
L-Block We got Slime into the 2013 contest too |
Now we need to get Smash Bros. all-star piranha plant in |
...Would SSB make Piranha Plant stronger than Goomba? I think no. All the stars in the sky are waiting for you. |
Leonhart4 posted... L-Block L-Block is not the enemy. Gravity is the enemy. Azuarc is my favorite arc of the Game of the Decade 2020 anime. |
L-Block is gravity's minion |
Bump My bracket looked like random picks compared to his. Congrats to azuarc for winning the GotD 2020 Guru Contest! |
