Ok. Do you HONESTLY think that guy has ANYTHING to do with Bongo Bongo? - TheSuperZeldaMan 20:00 7 April 2010 (PCS)

No, however, there is quite the resemblance between the two. And considering Majora's Mask has a thing for mirroring/paralleling characters from Ocarina of Time, it is pretty clear that Bongo Bongo at least served some inspiration in the creation of Gabora, even if it was purely aesthetic.

I dunno, this seems like a massive stretch to me. Just looking at official art of the two side-by-side expresses a huge amount of difference. All they have in common is muscularity and a grotesqueness (Bongo Bongo being far less pleasant to look at) about them.. The skin tones aren't that alike, with Gabora's in-game skin being much paler and less purple than Bongo Bongo's, and in the official artwork Bongo Bongo is also much darker in comparison and a much deeper, more deliberate shade of purple rather than the gray used for Gabora - so the skin is different in both of those realms. Other points: Gabora wearing gloves and a mask is hardly 'similar' to Bongo Bongo having no head and severed hands. That could warrant a number of explanations. Also, Bongo Bongo is an upper body connected to a bulb-looking stalk that floats above it in the air, as opposed to a complete body standing on two feet. Also to be mentioned is the enormous difference in size. -- RustyCage 00:14, 8 May 2010 (EST)
