Talk:King Bulblin

On the topic of Midna being "dumbstruck", of my 4 times playing through Twilight Princess, never do I recall Midna ever really going into depth on her opinion of the King Bublin besides shock that he can speak. I always saw it as surprise that he isn't like other monsters that just utter gibberish or animalistic noises. Not so much that he's stupid. It seems out of place to state him claiming alliance to Link's cause, then mention that Midna might find him unintelligent. If anything, it seems like something that would belong in Trivia rather than the main article where it just talks about him in general. That's just how I feel about it. :/ Jo the Marten  ( Shriek )  ಠ_ಠ  04:34, 28 January 2010 (UTC)

Bomb Trivia
Defeating an enemy with a non-standard method is not trivia, it's gameplay. Reverted. Champion of Nayru (talk) 06:13, 27 October 2013 (UTC)Champion of Nayru


 * You know, Talk pages are supposed to be for, well, talking on the subject. You didn't allow any time for me (or anyone else, for that matter) to offer up a second opinion or weigh in on the decision. I put the bomb use in trivia because it involves (as you call it) a non-standard method, which yes, is gameplay, but is also not how the developers intended the fight to he done and is probably not common knowledge for anyone besides speedrunners or people who rely on glitches. It could be incorporated into the article itself, but then this unnecessarily clutters things up and takes things out-of-universe in the middle of an in-universe article ("He is fought again at the Great Hylian Bridge. This time shooting arrows into the weak spots in his armor is effective (though through careful timing, a glitch can be used to damage him with bombs instead)." See what I mean? Not horrible, but it sounds odd and distracting.) It would be different if there was another page purely for the King Bulblin battles, in which case this fact could be incorporated with little trouble; but such an article would be stubby and read more like a walkthrough than an encyclopedia, and in any case it doesn't exist, leaving this page the only one where this fact can be placed. And I do think it is worth mention- those who are unaware of it would probably find it interesting and helpful.


 * So, bottom line: I still feel that this fact deserves mention. If you would prefer, it can be directly incorporated, but in light of what I said before, I think it merits being trivia. Setras (talk) 13:12, 27 October 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree with Setras. I doubt many people would know that it's even possible to whip bombs at him during the joust. It definitely never occurred to me. (I mean seriously, how unsportsmanlike :P) 13:47, 27 October 2013 (UTC)
