As per usual, before even stepping in the Forest Temple, I set on my quest for my greatest treasure, Biggoron's sword, and by the end of it I wondered...

Why the hell didn't they just send in Biggoron's to kick Volvagia's ass. That thing is like three times Volvagia's size. He might as well just take a snake out of a hole and choke it to death.

Because that would make too much sense.

EDIT: More seriously, size doesn't necessarily equate to strength in many works of fiction. Nappa was considerably larger than Vegeta or Freeza (first and final form at least) for example.

In the general forums view, this topic trails off as "Zelda Oot 3..."

Maybe Biggoron doesn't like to fight. Or maybe he doesn't have a good way of getting into the fire temble and to whateverhisnameis.

Dude, you're talking about the anime where a 5-year old kid could beat up a 7-foot body-builder like grown-up man.

Dude, you're talking about the game where a 10-year old kid could beat up a huge knight in armor like a grown-up man.



(In case you don't get it, I'm referring to how young Link has to defeat an Iron Knuckle. Not to mention a huge spider like Gohma or a dinosaur like Dodongo.)

Doesn't make his point less valid.

That's nothing. It's perfectly fine. He had a sword, at least. And said knight was slow as hell.

Did I mention said 5-year could beat that grown-up man with his bare fists?
Get more irrealistic than that.

Get an avatar and we'll talk.

Yes, because a dinky little sword wielded by a skinny little boy can totally pierce solid metal armor. This is very realistic. It's also very realistic that the same little boy can survive being struck with a huge axe despite wearing NO armor whatsoever.

Dude, that's completely normal when you compare it to DBZ.

I mean, c'mon. At least compare it to Naruto. But DBZ?

You must be intentionally ignoring the point. Must be.

[SeverIan]

How heat resistant are gorons? If Biggoron isn't hurt, or doesn't take much hurt, from Volvagia's fire, I doubt he'd have a problem killing a flying dragon who's about as big to him as a garden snake. In seasons they eat lava, not sure if I'd carry that over or not.

I kinda doubt that Biggoron is a weak guy who just looks big, considering he's a goron and a smith. Admittedly, the only workmanship he made was a Biggoron's nail...

You're only making it worse.

I think they are pretty heat-resistent.

There is no mention of them eating lava in Ocarina. Seasons also wasn't made by Nintendo.

[SeverIan]

Seasons also wasn't made by Nintendo.

It was developed by Capcom, and published by Nintendo, and is on the Zelda timeline released by Nintendo. Nintendo is listed as holding the copyright in the first screen of the game, and while this could be for any number of reasons, Nintendo's logo appears above capcom's on th second screen of the game. I admit I wouldn't say that Bloomsbury exclusively "made" Harry Potter, but I don't think I would exclude Bloomsbury if I was going to use the noun "made" either, and in terms of arguing that Oracle games aren't "official" Zelda games that argument is hilarious.

Blah blah blah, things I never said, blah blah blah.

Your seriosity surpasses even my own. Huzzah.

What am I reading. @_@

You're reading Severian attempting to argue against an argument that was never made and being as pedantic as ever.

The Master Sword is for true heroes.

Wimpy biggorons, anyway!

Oh, sorry, you were mentioning the oracles games made by Nintendo for some other reason than suggesting the fact that they eat lava in seasons doesn't matter. My mistake dude :(

If you get around to reading this, I'd love to know what that reason is XD
