Obscure Items
I do like the reuse of obscure items and I'm also wondering what other newer items they'll release (other than the Beetle, of course). Also, one kind of has to wonder what the upgrade to the Mole Mitts will be. Maybe it's a bulldozer. Oh yeah, and I prefer the look of the word Phi to Fi, but since Phi is a Greek letter and whatnot it's kind of weird. -Minish  Link   17:27, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

It's possible not every item will be up-gradable but if they want to reuse concepts they could have the Mole Mitt upgrade similar to the L2 Shovel in Four Swords Adventures which singles with a noise when you can unearth something special using the shovel, which would be a useful feature. Oni Dark Link 17:52, September 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * A L2 Shovel style mechanic may mess with their whole dousing mode thing. They could always go the boring rout and randomly make some dig spots made of special blue dirt that you need to have level 2 Mole Mitts to dig up, red patches of soil that require level 3, and stuff like that. Hopefully though they'll add some additional mechanics as items are upgraded rather than just the same thing but more powerful. I was pretty happy to see the Gust Jar return. I'm praying to the Four Giants for the Cane of Somaria or a Remote Bomb upgrade... --Fierce Deku 18:27, September 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Remote Bombs would be sweet, I've been saying for a long time now it's something I want to see and it would be a perfect upgrade for bombs. I don't think they would do a different soil diggable thing unless if was for totally different areas of the game (like Skylof soil being different to Hyrulian Soil). Otherwise it would be a bit obvious where good items are hidden since you can blatantly see the upgraded soil. I think it's confirmed that added mechanics will be pat of upgrades since didn't they say at one point that the Beetle could be upgraded with certain properties added to it. Oni Dark Link 18:36, September 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure I read that all items will be upgradable, but I'm not sure. And yeah, Remote Bombs are pretty great. -Minish  Link   20:11, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

i didnt know there was a preview thing thanks a lot!

Random wiki invitation
hey Oni Dark Link, I'm wondering if you'd like to contribute to my wiki, http://lozcharactercreator.wikia.com/wiki/LoZCharactercreator_Wiki#Latest_activity. There's the link. I'm hoping you'll contribute. Peashooter9 (talk) 17:33, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

Sky Keep
for your last edit on the silent realm i misinterpreted that statement :p it made it sound like that link went through another trial all over again not that the triforce pieces were sitting in rooms in the silent realm [i guess you could say] thats why i thought it didnt belong. - User:Red Toon Link (talk)

Understandable. If you feel the wording is a little bit ambiguous try rewording. Oni Dark Link 22:35, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

Treasures
Before I undo all your "work" in expanding the articles into separate pages without a discussion beforehand, was there such a discussion? --Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  21:34, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * A discussion hardly seemed necessary. There was no discussion to give each of the Skyward Sword Treasures their own page yet they all got one. I merely made a consistency in page creation. If treasures don't deserve their own page or section then all treasure pages should be removed not just the DS ones. As it was the information of Treasures was already in consistent, there were no pages for the DS treasures yet the Zora Scale had its own section on the Zora Scale page. Worse still the Wood Heart page redirected users away from that page in regards to information about treasures yet still had information about the Spirit Tracks Treasure on it. If you feel that Treasures shouldn't deserve a page then delete the pages, just make sure there is consistency in what is deleted. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 21:56, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, there was. And the Zora Scale thing is obviously an exception. We couldn't not mention that an item of the same name exists. You have approximately one hour to come up with a good rationale. --<font color="#3ba0c5">Auron  Kaizer <font color="#3ba0c5">!  23:12, December 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * That forum was mostly about making a page for them collectively, I didn't partake in it and missed the one comment saying they are more differences between them then the DS Treasures. I don't exactly see what the major differences are to be honest both are collectibles that can be used to upgrade things. It's not like we have articles that can be covered somewhere else already. Either way though do as you like with the pages just keep some consistency. If sections are fine then leave the Zora Scale, Wood Heart and Bee Larva sections of their respective articles even though it would be a bit strange having information specifically pertaining to them and not the others. It's your call but I suggest you consider the possibility of keeping them instead of outright deleting them because of the scenario in which they were made. If you do delete them though it won't bother me I accept the way things are. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 00:11, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

You're missing the point entirely. Whether or not it's a "good decision or not" is immaterial, fact is you should have discussed it first to begin with.

 * Such a work is considered fanon. We used to include noteable works of fanon on mainspace pages but it was voted off. There is just too much fanon noteable or otherwise to crowed onto one page.

Question
Do you know where to download Phantom Hourglass?

Thanks

I do and I would tell you if downloading the game wasn't against most of my morals. With little effort you can probably still purchase it in shops and even if not it can easily be bought online for a reasonable price. Either way though if you want to play a handheld Zelda game I wouldn't start with Phantom Hourglass. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 23:52, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

BS Games
Now that I'm been actively working on the Youtube page again I was looking through what games needed to be done still. Both of the BS games need to be done. Since in past discussion on them, you seamed to be familiar with them. Because of that and the great work you did for the Zelda II videos, I thought I would see if you would be interested in getting videos from either or both of the BS game. --Birdman5589 (talk) 16:17, May 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sorry to jump in this, and I know I don't participate on youtube, but you might want to contact ZeldaInformer's channel and get them to replace the ZW channel with the ZP channel on their featured list Birdman. And of course, you should probably add them to your featured list is they agree. Again, sorry to randomly come into this convo, but I just checked out the channel and found that kind of strange. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 18:46, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

I have played Kodai no Sekiban (or as we seem to call it now Ancient Stone Tablets, not sure when that happened) and think I could easily get my hands on the others. I would of course be glad to get the recordings, I currently use ZSNES to play them but I don't think that happens to have an AVI recorder that I used with FCEUX (and Virtual Boy Advanced) but I think the roms would probably work on any Super Nintendo Emulator if you have a suggestion <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 23:33, May 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think there is a way to do it in ZSNES as I believe that is what I used for A Link to the Past. However, I can't remember how to off the top of my head. If I'm mistaken, I'm fairly certain that snes9x has a built in recorder. I can look into it more next weekend if you have problems getting it to work. --Birdman5589 (talk) 23:56, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

I'll tinker round with ZSNES for a bit and see if I can find anything. I looked before but never found anything but it was just out of casual wonder not for any particular need so I didn't look that hard. Another issue though is if they actually need full on videos to begin with as most of the bosses in them are the same bosses from the legend of zelda and a link to the past (though with some sprite revamps in the legend of zelda's case if I'm not mistaken). Personally I think it'd be nice to have them in but we currently don't cover their appearances on the wiki's boss pages, though we probably should. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 00:03, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Since it is a different game, I would say include them all. Even though we don't have pages for them, it would be nice to have the video regardless. --Birdman5589 (talk) 11:33, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

Really the level of differences probably wouldn't suffice to have their own page. A mention on the existing page would probably do. Something like "Kholdstare also appears in BS Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets as the boss of seventh palace, available on Week Four." Another justification for having them on the same page is that, since the games are direct sequels and remakes, it is implied this is the exact same creature. Still should probable wait to see what others think though. For now i'll see about getting the videos. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 11:41, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok figured out how to record AVI off ZSNES (needed to download a new set of files but it was pretty handy since I didn't have it at all on my new computer) and have uploaded the first boss, Armos Knigths to the Youtube Channel. When ever you can maybe you can check it out to make sure everything looks ok as well as give the proper description and tags you want. A new playlist will probably need to be made too but I'll let you deal with all that since there's probably a standard you want to follow. I've named the video Armos Knights (Ancient Stone Tablets) in lieu of how the other videos are named (without The Legend of Zelda) but I don't know maybe it should say BS somewhere. Or just in the description, I'll let you decide that sort of thing. Overall this shouldn't take me that long to do since the game is designed to be played in four hours but I'll wait for you feedback before recording anything else. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 14:15, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * The recording was fine for the most part. The major problem with it is the recorded resolution. It is only recorded at 240p where it should be recorded at 480p as was done for the ALttP videos. The only other thing I would add is making sure you record the intro for the game. I'll get around to adding the playlist and other things for the videos later this week. --Birdman5589 (talk) 23:36, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

I have recorded the intro and ending of the chapter as well as the other boss fight (I just thought a moving battle would show up any problems easier than a still frame intro). I'll see if the setting can increase the resolution, I thought it did look a bit choppy myself that's why I only uploaded the one video. If not that I'll just have to try a different emulator. Maybe the exact same one that was used for the A Link to the Past videos. Another point is the fact that the game can be played with two (identical) characters. I choose to use the male mascot (because I'm male) but I could probably do both if you feel it would be a nice touch. The intros to each chapter however have a set mascot, I think. Alternatively I could playthrough that chapter using whichever mascot is shown in the intro. You can delete the Armos Knights video from the page since we'll definitely have to replace it with a better quality version <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 23:44, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * It maybe looked a little choppy but I didn't notice it the first time. At this point, just play around with the setting until you get it to work. Then upload another video and make it a private video and I'll check it out before making it public. At that point, I can give you the go ahead for the rest of the videos. I would say to do all the videos with the male mascot. As for the female mascot, a "Bonus Video" playing as her could be put together. This could feature some other interesting bits of gameplay that isn't included in the boss videos. --Birdman5589 (talk) 23:53, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

Ok so I tried some of the other settings and uploaded them to my own youtube channel changing the settings for the video dumping and this is what I got 1, 2, 3, 4. No matter what it always seems to be slightly fuzzy in the areas around the moving Armos Knights, I'm not sure how to fix that problem. If none of these are fitting then I'll try one more custom setting before looking into using a different emulator. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 22:34, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Poll suggestion
In the suggestion you made: "What is your favourite race", there are a few races that could be added. That include: Whip Race, Race Against Yeto and Yeta and Commemorative Race. I could add them by myself, but it's preferable that you add them since it's your suggestion.

PS: I just realized I mistakenly posted this on your user page, my apologies.

--Mr Alex (T) 03:58, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

The whip race isn't really a race against anyone that's why I didn't add it, I already have the commemorative race in there (though i am thinking of taking it out).

In response to your deletions
The best wikis have pictures of anything important or worth noting. The theoretical side of Zelda is just as important as the plainly stated facts. If this was not true the Hyrule Historia would serve no purpose other than showing discarded concept sketches. Kirbyddd (talk) 20:51, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

I assuming here you mean theatrical instead of theoretical because I can't recall myself removing any theories in recent weeks. Anyway, yes, the theatrical aspect is important. It just doesn't deserve three different screen shots from one even of one game. I'm not shutting it down for no reason. I know you added a picture to the Ancient Sages page from the same event and I made no effort to remove it there because it is relevant on a page with few images. If we added three screen shots from every single scene Ganondorf has been in the series then the page would quickly grow far too big. Separate tabs would need to be added for separate topics of the galleries which isn't an impossibility but it would be a major change to the standard of the wiki and things like that just don't happen instantly. It requires a full community discussion. You might just think your adding screen shots from one event but there is nothing significant about that event that gives any reason to add it into the gallery. If you still want to use your pictures the best way is to find somewhere on the site they can be used in the main body of the article that gives a clearer idea of what the subject matter is about. Your pictures are not inherently bad, it's just that the gallery section of Ganondorf's page is not the right place for them as it only shows one even in the characters large timeline and doesn't show any different forms or depictions of the character than isn't already covered on the page.

Oh and the Zelda II Game Over picture is used in the infobox of the Game Over page so, yes, it does have relevance to the site as it is a prime example of a game over screen in the series. In fact we could do with a few more gameover screens on the site since that page is lacking in images. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 19:59, October 29, 2013 (UTC)

I did mean theoretical. By theoretical I mean anything that is not completely in gameplay, whether confirmed or not. These pictures mean a lot more to someone who cares more about the deeper aspects of the Zelda Multiverse, not just the in game or hinted at things. I realize that you most likely also care about these things, judging by your profile page you are a passionate theorizer yourself, but want to keep the pages manageable. I will refrain from adding too many pictures and theories but I will still post some things that breach the border between widely accepted theories and unconfirmed and far-fetched but still supported and believable. Don't worry; I will post them in the "Warning: Theories" sections if I even have the time to make a post at all. But I respect your decision as one of the biggest contributors, you're the Zelda Wiki version of the Pikmin Wiki's Areoblaze777, and I will try to cause you no more annoyance.

Sanctuary
So you're saying Sanctuary from A Link to the Past and A Link Between Worlds are the same place. But the dungeons for example Tower of Hera, etc from the 2 games are completely different from each other. --Cococrash11 (talk) 05:26, December 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's why Tower of Hera gets separate pages and Sanctuary doesn't. The Sanctuary from each game is nearly identical in layout, purpose, and location. If we separated Sanctuary into two articles, we'd have to separate pretty much every location article into each of its individual appearances.  Xykeb  Yvolix   Zraliv  09:06, December 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Dungeons aren't standard locations. They have different properties and are entitled to unquie pages because of that in the same way dungeon bosses get uniqe pages even when they are for all intents and purposes the same. Just have a look at the Lost Woods page and imagine how awkward it'd be if every entry on that was on a separate page. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 12:48, December 1, 2013 (UTC)

Then all the Sanctuary articles should merge. I mean Hyrule Castle, Link's House, etc are all located differently but they share the same page. --Cococrash11 (talk) 21:26, December 1, 2013 (UTC)

I meant like the term Sanctuary from A Link to the Past, Twilight Princess, and A Link Between Worlds. --Cococrash11 (talk) 21:28, December 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * The Sanctuary from Twilight Princess is a different location by intent. True Link's House, Hyrule Castle and the Lost Woods might be located in different areas in each game but by intent they still serve the same purpose. Beyond being what it's title implies the Sanctuary in Twilight Princess is distinctly different. It is located with in Kakariko Village and instead of being run by a priest it is run by a shaman. The ALTTP/ALBTW Sanctuary has a much more definite church theme going on with it. Though both do have secret passages to a graveyard so if you want to make a case for merging into the other article you can. It's talk page would be a more appropriate location that mine though. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 22:40, December 1, 2013 (UTC)

 * Yeah, I'm fine with it. More exposure is more exposure. I'll drop a note into the skype group to see if anyone is around to promote us. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 01:53, May 28, 2016 (UTC)

Hey, I'm leaving this message on the page of every regular user that I can see that's edited in the last few days to make sure this forum gets circulated. It'd be great if you could hop over and add your input. Thanks! — Ceiling  Master  00:39, June 17, 2016 (UTC)

Vaati's sound byte
It's the same exact sound as the happy mask salesman.

Epic Mickey Dead Man's Volley
Well on the Epic Micky Wiki, it states that one of the Zelda workers worked on the game hence the phrase reference, so Dead Man's Volley could be a reference as well.

 * You're free to create it yourself. I am an unfortunately very busy person who can't dedicate nearly as much time to this wiki as I used to. And I don't even have access to my copy of Spirit Tracks right now to even verify the information. Just copy and paste an already existing character article of relatively similar scope and use it as a template. Change and add all the things that need to be changed. Don't worry about messing anything up. I or another user will fix it.

Hey there. I'm the manager of PokéFanon wiki and I was wondering if your wiki would like to affiliate with us. This means we try to share some traffic by linking to the other wiki on the main page.

Converting to Portable Infoboxes
Heya! I'm not sure if you've heard of Portable Infoboxes before, but I wanted to let you know I've been working on converting some of Zeldapedia's infoboxes to this markup. The tl;dr is that it's more future proof than current infoboxes, and better on non-desktop skins, namely the mobile skin. You can read more here and here if you're curious or not sure about the idea. Basically I'll be able to convert all of your infoboxes to the new markup, which won't affect the pages or the content on the infoboxes, but will affect the code.

I've made two Portable Infobox versions of the character infobox. The first is a a Portable Infobox replica of the original which you see on the right - in this case, only the code will change, and not the appearance. The second is a new Portable Infobox design based on the same colors - this is a new design, and we can go with this if you prefer. I can make any tweaks to either of these, but if it's all cool with you and the rest of the community here, I'll be able to convert all the rest of your infoboxes to one of these styles. And if you have any questions or need help with anything else, I'll be free to help you out. Thanks!-- V  Technobliterator   T  C  19:21, August 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * I think I like the replica version better, though admittedly that might just be bias on my part. From taking a quick glance at the page code there, it seems the application of the infobox is identical correct? The only actual changes to the code are in the template, yes? Anyway it seems like a good idea and I have no objections. You will need to get the opinion of at least one other member of the community if you can though. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 01:42, August 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yep, that's right - the application of the infobox is the same, just the code in them is different. Sure thing, I'll go poke Ceiling Master as well and see what he thinks, and if you guys both agree on using the markup, then I'll start converting them. Thanks for taking a look!-- V  Technobliterator   T  C  06:29, August 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * Just to update you: I've now got the infoboxes all converted to PI in drafts. You can see them at Template:Infobox Dungeon/Draft, Template:Infobox Enemy/Draft, Template:Infobox Minigame/Draft etc. Just wanted to double check that everything's ok first, and then I'll push them live?-- V  Technobliterator   T  C  19:05, August 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 03:51, August 20, 2016 (UTC)
 * Awesome, I've now put them live! Everything should appear basically the same as the original boxes did. There are one or two differences which I kept in because I thought they looked slightly better (for instance, fighter infobox has white text because I thought it goes better on the background, and album infobox has a differently appearing predecessor and successor rows as well as consistent colors with other infoboxes), but everything should be fine. If any issues at all pop up, and I double checked to make sure there weren't, then please drop me a line; likewise, if I can help with anything technical on the wiki at all, feel free to give me a shout. Thanks!-- V  Technobliterator   T  C  09:08, August 20, 2016 (UTC)

Original Debut meaning in the Fighters Infobox
From what I can tell from its use on fighter articles of the Super Smash Bros. series, the Original Debut section refers to the character's original debut in the main Zelda series. Thus I think this should apply when this Infobox is used on character articles for characters from Hyrule Warriors series (for example Toon Zelda original debut would be Spirit Tracks as her character is based on Ghost Zelda).

Though I would assume this would only apply to characters who are based on a specific incarnation (such as Young Link and Toon Link who are based on the young Hero of Time and Hero of Winds respectively) and not an incarnation that originate from the Hyrule Warriors series itself, such as Link, Zelda/Sheik, Impa, and Ganondorf as they represent separate incarnations that exist in the non-canon universe of Hyrule Warriors.

Somebody really needs to clarify its meaning so as to prevent confusion. RaphBlade7 (talk) 17:47, October 21, 2016 (UTC)

Debut Meaning
Doesn't that mean that those pages pertaining to the Super Smash Bros. series I mentioned earlier need to be changed, as they do not conform to this definition as their debut would be the first game in which they appeared in that series. RaphBlade7 (talk) 18:26, October 21, 2016 (UTC)
 * You're right. That should be the case. I suspect that was a mistake of my own when making the pages. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 02:56, October 22, 2016 (UTC)

Redirects with additional special character/symbol in name
Hi Oni Dark Link. I have just seen your edits and I would not contest them, but I would like to inform you, as you can see by searching for "Guardian Spear++" in the wiki search bar, we had decided not to add such a redirect consisting of the same exact name plus one or two special characters/symbols "+". It works sometimes weirdly depending on Internet browser, system, or in my case scripts and tools on Linux, for example, "Guardian Spear+" must be replaced by "Guardian Shield%2B". This choice will also lead to many similar redirects. WiseAdventurer (talk) 12:39, March 28, 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry Oni, I have misread! It was Green Rupee. Sorry for the inconvenience. WiseAdventurer (talk) 12:50, March 28, 2017 (UTC)
 * Haha. Not to worry. Never feel afraid to contest the edit of a more experienced user.

Champions' Ballad and DLC Pages Overall
Greetings!

So, The Champions' Ballad DLC was released this morning and wanted to add information to it on the respective page. Upon editing it I see the infobox is for the song and not the dlc itself. I see that the Trial of the Sword already has its own page, so I think the second dlc pack should get its own page too. We could create a disambiguation page to distinguish between the DLC and the song. As for other dlcs, perhaps a category for "downloadable content" and subcategories for individual games? It would be good for organization since they aren't part of the base game Roranoa Drake II (talk)
 * Having seperate pages for both the song and the DLC sounds good to me. So you're suggesting a category like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild DLC, like we do for Items and Locations etc? I'm not sure that's really warranted right now as we only have a single game with DLC. If it becomes a major trend in the future perhaps it'll be worth categorizng that way, but for the moment I think a branch all DLC category will suffice, similar to how we only have one category for Beta content and such <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 21:16, December 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * In fact, one thing is incorrect, the Trial of the Sword DLC does not have an own page. The Trial of the Sword page that has been renamed Sword Monk's Shrine (this renaming is a mistake IMO but it is not the matter here), is about the location, the Shrine. There is also a page for the involved quest "EX Trial of the Sword". About the DLC itself, every thing is reported on the game page, exactly here The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. So there are no pages for DLCs. This can be discussed, but I think if the community eventually agreed for DLC pages, they should be subpages of the related game page.
 * Nevertheless, Roranoa Drake II, you can complete the section The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and you can create the related quest "EX Champions' Ballad" with the help of the "EX Trial of the Sword" page content as a model (infobox, text, whole article good format) always in "source mode" edition of course (both when you open the page to copy and the new page to create where you paste it). If you need help, do not hesitate to ask us for help. Thank you for your proposal and possible contribution on this.WiseAdventurer (talk) 23:12, December 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * I think individual articles for a game's DLC is a good idea. It wouldn't necessarily be about the info of the quest and such itself, more a list of the things the DLC pack contains, it's pricing, its release date and the images the eshop itself uses to represent them. It also occurs to me that Hyrule Warriors has a tonne of DLC too. We should also have an overarching page for DLC as I can readily imagine someone searching that term to try and find something. Either just make it a disambig (like we do for prologue) or maybe even make a short article explaining what it is. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 23:41, December 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * Do you also mean that game's DLC pages should be "top" pages (regarding the wiki, here for example "The Master Trials DLC Pack 1"), or do you think that making them game's subpages (still individual articles but "secondary") is a good idea (something like "The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild/The Master Trials DLC Pack 1")?WiseAdventurer (talk) 00:43, December 9, 2017 (UTC)
 * I think covering everything on a sub page like you suggest is probably the best solution. Having multiple pages doesn't seem like it there would be enough useful content since most of the info would be covered on the item or quest's own page. In essence they would be a glorified disambigs. Of course redirects for the individual packs would be made, probably to section headers within the page. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 01:00, December 9, 2017 (UTC)

Infobox Quest
Hi Oni. I have recreated a correct Template:Infobox Quest that takes into account the format of the other infoboxes templates of the wiki, points proposed by CM, and a template tile with uppercase.

Since I am not an admin, I cannot attribute a colour for the Template:Infobox Quest, you can probably find a good colour and add it!

So the initial very recent Template:Infobox quest can be deleted ("quest" lowercase, none formatting according to the other infoboxes templates of the wiki...). WiseAdventurer (talk) 15:16, January 20, 2018 (UTC)
 * Okay done. Thanks for going ahead with that. I've given it a bit of a grey colour now which might not be optimal. I was thinking, the Quest banner in Breath of The Wild is Grey, but it doesn't really pop for me on the infobox. If you have a better idea for a colour, then feel free to suggest one. Although we have a lot of infoboxes already and there are a finite amount of colours <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 15:59, January 20, 2018 (UTC)

Ganon or Gannon
I understand your reason in that section, but... which one was that in Zelda II: The Adventure of Link? Yet, Gannon article exists. Not saying that you're wrong, just wish to point out the reason why it was written in that article. Beside that, I have no argument against your reason of change his name to Ganon. FredCat 14:44, January 29, 2018 (UTC)
 * When a chatacter acts as both a boss and a character, we give them two articles. Like Byrne and Byrne (boss). Ganon, in the original The Legend of Zelda is following these rules. We have a character page for him (the main Ganon page where all his other appearances are covered) and the Gannon boss page. The reason we use the Gannon spelling is because that's what he's identified as in game. The only time Gannon should ever be used on this wiki is when linking to that page. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 14:53, January 29, 2018 (UTC)
 * I see, now that made sense. I am glad that I kept my foot from step in the wrong puddle this time around. Misspelled in the game, but actually the same monster, got it. FredCat 15:47, January 29, 2018 (UTC)
 * I get that he's called that in the game, but it IS a mistranslation, I'm pretty sure. I own Collector's Edition for the Gamecube and it fixed a lot of the translation errors the NES version had, including changing Gannon to Ganon. TheUltimateGamer39 (talk) 21:02, February 9, 2018 (UTC)

I admit that it's rather silly. So if you think you can get it changed, bring it up on the talk page and see what the community's reponse is (if any). I don't really have any strong feelings on the matter itself. But until there's actually a descision made somewhere to change it, the page should remain as is. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 21:32, February 9, 2018 (UTC)
 * I laid the question in the talk page, like you requested. So the problems would be settle ease. FredCat 23:40, February 9, 2018 (UTC)

I meant more bring it up on the actual Gannon page if you want to change that. As far as the Link page goes, it's to remain as is due to dems being the rules. <font color="#66FFFF">Oni <font color="#7F007F">Dark <font color="#007A00">Link 00:01, February 10, 2018 (UTC)
 * I see... I put it there only because it was connected to "Link" article, the main reason of why I started this thread. But feel free to burn it down if you want. I think it's better to stay as "Gannon" since it's on its own and has enough information and details on its own. FredCat 00:25, February 10, 2018 (UTC)
