Talk:Deku Scrub

This article is extremely confusing, mostly, I think, because of the inclusion of the Deku Scrub enemies from OoT. "The term "Deku Scrub" is sometimes used to refer to the entire Deku race. It can also be used to refer specifically to the type of Deku which is not a Business Scrub or Mad Scrub." I suppose the first sentence here is acceptable, so long as the Deku King and Princess can be considered "scrubs" (honestly not really sure about that). But the second sentence seems to refer solely to the three "scrub" enemies in OoT, though that isn't made clear in any way. In fact, I think the second sentence HAS to be read as referring to OoT, since such a distinction isn't necessary in any other game. The second sentence implies that the "Deku Scrub" enemies in OoT are not in fact generic Deku Scrubs as this article is implying but enemies distinct from Business and Mad Scrubs. Needless to say, much of the "Biology" section of this article has absolutely nothing to do with the Deku Scrub enemies in OoT. On top of that, we have "There are also several Deku Scrubs in the Forest Stage found in the Lost Woods" as if the Forest Stage scrubs are clearly and recognizably related to the Deku Scrub enemies. But they aren't. The Forest Stage scrubs look far more similar to the MM "scrubs," and it's thus easier to believe that they possess the biology described in this article. So I think the OoT Deku Scrub enemies should have their own separate article.

Or: should we have such a detailed Deku Scrub article at all? Maybe the main focus of the "Deku Scrub" article should be the OoT enemy, with a few notes stating that "Deku Scrub" is also sometimes used loosely to refer to all Deku people (or perhaps just the "grunts")? I'm not really sure if this Deku Scrub article in its current state needs to be separate from the "Deku" article, except for, of course, the Oot enemy.--SeraphStar (talk) 09:35, December 27, 2016 (UTC)
