Rules for suggesting a poll
- Polls should not have any more than eight voting options; this makes them easier to archive.
- For larger polls, break the poll into two polls and suggest both. If both polls are supported, however, they will not appear on the main page consecutively or simultaneously.
- Browse the archives before suggesting to be sure your suggestion has not been made before.
- New suggestions are to be placed on the bottom of the page.
- You must sign your poll and votes with ~~~~ or it will be removed.
- You must have 50 mainspace edits to vote. Check here and enter your name to see how many you have.
- Be creative!

Favorite Zelda Race

Support: But where's the Whip Race?
--AuronKaizer! 23:19, March 9, 2012 (UTC)
Comment: You can't have more than 8 choices per poll. You'll need to remove half of them or it will be deleted again (not by me, though). --Mr Alex (T) 02:29, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
Comment: Dude, read the rules. I'll admit it's a good poll, but limit the races. I suggest limiting it to recurring races. Just a suggestion, though.Zeldas ganon (talk) 04:20, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
Oppose: It is just bland and there a lot more races in the entirety of the series. I'm also fairly certain we had a poll exactly like this one prior to starting up this poll suggestion. - McGillivray227 16:02, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
Neutral: Meh. Xykeb Yvolix Zraliv 18:18, March 10, 2012 (UTC)
Oppose: We already had a "favorite race" poll. Jedimasterlink (talk) 07:08, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
Favourite Tetra's Prirate
--Mr Alex (T) 16:28, July 27, 2012 (UTC)
Support: It works. AWWW YEA! (talk) 13:58, July 28, 2012 (UTC)
Oppose: Are you seriously suggesting this? – Jazzi (talk) 14:10, July 28, 2012 (UTC)
Oppose: This is just a sad suggestion. Green Rupee 23:43, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
Oppose: What's a "prirate"? --AuronKaizer! 19:21, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
Favorite Zelda Race
Well partially a joke referring to the first suggestion on the page but also partially serious. These are the only races that spring to mind where you actually have to beat another character but there are probably others I'm forgetting. Oni Dark Link 23:58, August 17, 2012 (UTC)
Support: I feel it might be missing some, and I wouldn't so much consider the 25th Anniversary Race as it's uh... not really a race since you win regardless. – Jazzi (talk) 00:04, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
Support: It's really ironic that the Whip Race doesn't qualify, but it works. Jedimasterlink (talk) 10:41, September 9, 2012 (UTC)
Oppose: A joke, indeed. --AuronKaizer! 19:21, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
Support: I wouldn't count the commemorative race since you can't win. Green Rupee 21:55, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
Favorite Antagonist
Oppose: This is a shoe-in for a meta-poll concerning the most clichéed and unoriginal ideas for polls ever. --AuronKaizer! 19:21, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
Oppose: No. – Jazzi (talk) 19:48, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
Oppose: Very original. Green Rupee 21:55, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
Favorite Mask from Majora's Mask
--User:Gorontunic I added different ones regarding the suggestions below. :(
Oppose: None of them. I mean like, wut, transformation masks and then, randomly, Romani's Mask. A dumb idea to begin with; interjecting your own subjective opinion doesn't help it at all. There needs to be an "uber-oppose" template. --AuronKaizer! 19:21, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
Oppose: Romani's Mask. What? – Jazzi (talk) 19:48, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
Oppose: This is so bad it's funny. Green Rupee 21:55, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

Favorite Character to Meet
IStoleThePies | Message Wall | Contributions 02:46, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose: Aside from this being insipidly dumb as all hell, Linebeck isn't from/in Hyrule at any point! --AuronKaizer! 09:48, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose: This is just sad. – EnemyPeacemaker 19:18, February 26, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose: Lineback actually was in Hyrule at the end of PH and died in Hyrule according to ST. Doesn't save the poll from being bad. And that last edit makes me think you're trying to make this a badjoke poll. Jedimasterlink (talk) 01:55, February 28, 2013 (UTC)
Comment: That isn't what I'm trying to do. I want to give more choices to appeal to more people. I chose Valvagia because of the OOT Manga, and the Imprisoned because, while he can't really speak, he is pretty awesome looking. But I guess I'll get rid of him for Linebeck. Just trying to make more ideas. And what's wrong with the idea of the poll? There are many interesting characters in the Zelda series, so I'm wondering which character people would like to meet if he/she existed. --IStoleThePies | Message Wall | Contributions 02:06, February 28, 2013 (UTC)
Comment: To me, this particular poll seems like a variation on a "favorite character" sort of poll. As polls go, I've noticed that we're insanely difficult to please as a community, so we probably need to realize that "brilliant" polls likely don't exist (whatever the heck a "brilliant" poll is...) and tone down our expectations. And at the very least, myself included, try to not be so harsh if we feel we must shoot something down. Yeah, it's the internet, but not every corner of the internet has to be one of its hellholes. Jedimasterlink (talk) 04:51, February 28, 2013 (UTC)
Comment:The main problem with a pole like this is that the subject is far to broad. We can't have a pole with over a hundred choices and if you limit it to only ten or so then there will definitely be characters you miss out that other people will consider more important than the characters you have in. Oni Dark Link 10:47, February 28, 2013 (UTC)
Oppose: What Oni said. Green Rupee 23:46, February 28, 2013 (UTC)
