| − | == Questions. == |
||
| − | The page says: Among the theories revolving around Kaepora Gaebora is the idea that the owl is the reincarnation of the Sage of Light, Rauru. This can't be right. Rauru is still alive, and reincarnation implies death. I always disliked that theory. The gossip stone says:"The owl named Kaepora Gaebora is the reincarnation of an ancient Sage." Rauru still living couldn't possibly be an ancient sage. |
||
| + | ==Etymology== |
||
| − | Also, there are speaking owl statues in the Oracle games. I won't say it's for sure Kaepora Gaebora, but seeing that the Twilight Princess statues recieved a mention here. Should it be included as well?{{nosig|Axiomist|14:03, 27 April 2008}} |

| − | I've read the gossip stones, amdi thought i remembered it saying "incarnation", it makes plenty of sense that Rauru isn't physically alive if he constantly stays in the chamber of the sages.

| − | The grave was there to start with. Besides, you can go underneath it, and there's a room full of Deku Scrubs. No sign of the body. |

| − | :That's a really odd theory, but it's a possibility. I'm guessing that He was simply the sage "Kaepora" (probably a forest sage). Other names of ancient sages, if they were made up, would be something along the lines of the following: Kaepora (Kaepora Gaebora, likely the sage of forest), Kasuto (town in Aol that had no corresponding sage, probably shadow sage due to history of the town of Kasuto), Errol (Error, possibly the water sage as he resided in the town that shares a name of a water sage), and Rauru (sage of light, as we already know, probably looked like Joseph Stalin in his younger years).

| − | So apparently it's been confirmed that Rauru IS KG; however, I don't think we should merge ALL the OoT info to Rauru's page.

||
| − | :That's fine then, but because this character is more akin to Ganondorf/Ganon, Link/Bunny Link/Wolf Link, or any other "Hyrule form"/"Sacred Realm form" setup, most of the plot synopsis doesn't make sense unless written concurrently. I've written a combined sumamry of his plot events, with chronological events from Rauru's point of view (although all this means is that the Spirit Temple bit occurs before the Master Sword bit, not after). It should probably be placed on both articles, to show what is actually going on with the character. I've also done basic cleanup to the article, to cleanup a lot of flow issues.[[User:KrytenKoro|KrytenKoro]] 13:31, 5 January 2012 (EST) |

Template:Character Machi is a character in Skyward Sword.
Biography
Machi is a helpful member of the Kikwi tribe, encountered in Faron Woods. Link first finds Machi when he saves him from being attacked by a group of Bokoblins, but Machi mistakes Link for a green Bokoblin and runs away. Link then finds Machi hiding behind mushrooms and slices them away until the Kikwi hides behind a tree. When Link speaks to him, he tells the young hero that he saw a blonde girl being chased by Bokoblins and that she was running with the Kikwi elder, Bucha.[1][2] Machi then asks Link to tell Bucha that he is safe.[3]
When Link returns to the Deep Woods after completing the Skyview Temple, Machi asks if he had found his friend and thanks him for reuniting him with the other Kikwis.[4] If Link says he does not remember him, he tells Link that he can distinguish him from other Kikwis by looking at the icons on his map.[5]
Etymology
Machi's name is derived from matcha, green tea that has been pounded into a powder.
