Talk:Seven Wise Men

More "7 Wise men"="7 Sages" Support
I believe the original Japanese Link to the Past called the 7 "Wise Men" the 7 sages. Our "Wise Men" were a mistranslation. Originally, it did not call them men either in a species sense or gender sense. The change to sages in the GBA release might be as much a re-translation as it was a retcon. The images of wise men, assuming they were made in the original Japanese release, would have to be explained as either retcon, or the then inhabitants of Hyrule telling a legend that was slightly off (it's been a long time, they probably just lost the details. I mean most of the original sages are of races not even seen in aLttP). The reason I'm bringing this up is mainly to ask for a confirmation on the original Japanese calling them sages and not men.--Fierce Deku (talk) 22:38, November 23, 2010 (UTC)
