The Desert Colossus

Which is your favorite race from the Legend of Zelda series? While I know what I'm expecting to win, It'd be cool if you'd surprise me. My personal favorite race has to be the Deku. I love the little critters to death, and I've already voted for them. My second favorite probably fall on the Sheikah, because come on... They're freaking Sheikah. How do you get cooler than that?

My vote: Deku.

Ummm... I have to say Goron for the simple fact that the combo in MM is way too funny/awesome to ignore *punch, punch, butt-slam* I just find it humorous.

Ahh, the almighty butt slam. Only second to Luigi's butt slam in SSBM.

Tokay for me.

Tokay tokay.

Haha of course... XD

Oh, what? No Peach butt-slam? XD

And I'm voting Sheikah. The fact that I created a language around them is a testament.

Gerudo because:

1. They live in a desert.
2. They are pretty much all female so you can make hanky-panky jokes about them.

I have several favorites, but the Gerudos are my top favorite, hands down.  My inner-lesbian will always pick the race that is nearly all women.

Other favorites include the Garo (who aren't included as I made them a race, but for all we know, canonically speaking the Garo ninjas could have been Sheikahs), Sheikah, faerie, Kokiri, and Twili.  Tied for third are humans, Hylians, and Gorons, with Ritos (who you forgot in your list; oh noes!) coming in fourth.

I found the Tokays to be somewhat lovable and would love to see them again, as well as the Subrosians; I suppose they would be included in fourth place.  Really, Nintendo, don't just introduce new lands and then leave us hanging; bring them back for more games.

The Dekus and Koroks never really impressed me, and while Zora Link is awesome, I've found myself not really wanting to write any Zoran characters for my fanfics.  I much prefer to make them a reclusive race; they exist, and the other races of Hyrule know that they still do, but that are rarely seen anymore.

Missing both Rito AND Minish? Oh, I'm afraid I can't vote on this poll.

(though I love Zora and Deku ALMOST as much)

By popular request, the poll has been edited. If you feel you want to change your vote with the recent edit, I'll make it so you can all vote twice.

I always liked Zoras for some reason.  Maybe it is because I enjoyed playing as Zora Link in Majora's Mask.

Or maybe they just look awesome with lightning as their backdrop.

Or because they can generate freaking awesome energy barriers.

I guess you missed my reference to DW's avatar right there.

I like the fishbone guitar that Mikau had.

That was awesome.

Loved the fishbone guitar. Found an exact replica online, but lacked the funds before. Now that I have a job, it's all going towards college.

'Twas an official release, only seven were made as prizes for a contest Nintendo Power held when MM was released. I think they go for something in the quintuple digits at this point since there's only seven.

Nah, I got it. I just wanted to add an OR conditional, as well as an excuse to use the words freaking, awesome, energy, and barriers consecutively.

my favorite would be a toss up between gerudo and sheikah. they are both awesome.
but i suppose if i had to choose one it would be gerudo just because we dont as much of the sheikah race..
i was EXTREMELY disappointed when i got to the desert area in tp and there were no gerudos :'(

I vote Minish. Although, Lokomos are pretty cool, too.
