Help Guide

Here, users can nominate and vote for Zelda Wiki's next featured article. Any article worthy of being featured exemplifies the Wiki's quality standards, and goes above and beyond what is expected in a normal encyclopedia entry. Featured articles should:

1. Have exceptionally fluid American English grammar and spelling.
2. Be lengthy, yet detailed.
3. Be well organized (as in subdivisions).
4. Cite sources, and cite them properly.
5. Be properly categorized.
6. Contain the most up-to-date information possible.
7. Have no template requesting improvement, merging, deletion, or any template that may in some way state the article is not of excellent quality. In this respect, there should be no duplicate of the nominated article, nor should the article be a duplicate of another page.
8. NOT be copied from Wikipedia, or from any site that does not run the Wiki, under any circumstances!

For help on the correct format used to add nominations or votes, see the Featured Content Help.

Currently Nominated

Darknut

Just because it's a very interesting article, full of facts, different types of the enemy (example: Great Darknut), and very good and interesting info! It also talks about this enemy's past future, origin, and it gives just about every example about this enemy that there is! --ika5263

Octorok

Mainly for previously holding the perfect attendence award, pre-Twilight Princess. --AmrasCalmacil 15:53, 24 February 2008 (EST)

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

This would be an informing and new article for newcomers. --Eponasowner 19:18, 30 November 2007 (EST)

Support

1. It's the newest Zelda game so I think people should know about it. --Bigrageous 15:35, 22 December 2007 (EST)

Opposition

1. Other than the fact that this has had only one vote in almost 3 months, I think the quality of the article is somewhat lacking (there are other better game articles), and it shouldn't be featured merely by virtue of PH being the newest game in the series. —Adam ^(talk) 13:11, 23 February 2008 (EST)
2. I would have thought a more interesting article for newcomers would be something like A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time. --AmrasCalmacil 15:56, 24 February 2008 (EST)

Majora's Mask (Boss)

The Mask not the game. This is an awesome boss and should be featured--Stripe 6:37 13 February 2008 (EST)

1. I agree with Stripe. The second part of the boss was my favorite. --ShadowLink45
2. Yeah, I'd say now I've merged Majora into the article, and with a few other minor fixes it now meets all the criteria for being featured. Good article, and a good boss! —Adam ^(talk) 12:19, 16 February 2008 (EST)
3. I agree. Majora wasn't exactly the most challenging final boss, but the article is good. Adzma 05:49, 17 February 2008 (EST)
4. Changing my vote. I loved Majora. He was a one of a kind boss, and the article page looks nicely done! --SmashBrosSheik 11:13, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Gohma

Has been in the zelda series from the beginning so yeah--Lom678 6:54 16 February 2008 (EST)

1. Gohma holds the record for the most frequet boss in LoZ. For tht sake, I nominate Gohma --Emeryn 9:16 AM, 23 February 2008 (EST)

Helmaroc King

Cool boss should be featured --Trogdor 3:49 19 February 2008 (EST)

Epona

A main part of the Zelda games, with a nicely set-out page and appropriate graphics. Should deserve a Feature. --Beanie 23:47, 23 February 2008 (EST)

Opposition

I love Epona, but in my opinion, this article isn't very well written. It doesn't deserve to be featured untill it get a good rewrite.--Link hero of light 10:16, 24 February 2008 (EST)
