| I have found the alleged "seikizō" pun is [https://youtu.be/jZ4rsCrdykA?t=364 nonexistent, it's just sekizō]. With this in mind, should we simply merge the decorative "Rocklops statue" and perhaps the fire-shooting "Eye Guard" to it? In FS, some of them are decorative and used as arrow switches, much like specific ones in ALttP and LA.

| So in that guide, is "Sekizo" solely used for the inanimate ones? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 21:09, May 29, 2021 (MDT)

| I don't know anything about the series at all sadly, and I'm already trying to carefully use the resources that I have with hosting (I'm still waiting for when I can afford upgraded hosting so that the connection to Triforce Wiki is more reliable). I'm not saying no, I'm just saying that maybe wait as a future possibility.

| == Zelda's Adventure (in the Netherlands) ==
| |
|
| |
| So, inspired by your LA list, I went through scans of the Dutch official CD-i magazine and compiled a [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick#Zelda.27s Adventure: The Legend of the Celestial Signs enemies|list of enemy names]] from it, and aside from a single miniboss is absolutely comprehensive in that regard (having an assortment of names not even ZeldaWiki has). However, some enemies are referred to in generic, lowercase (and Dutch) terms, like "reuzeninktvis" and "schildpadden" for a giant squid and sea turtle enemy, respectively. What do you think should be done regarding those? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 15:38, April 8, 2021 (MDT)

| == Stalfaux ==
| |
|
| |
| So a number of skeletal characters I am unsure of whether to consider Stalfos or not. These include the giant bosses Stallord and Skeldritch (who at least have association, but do not seem to have sapience...or feet), a reaper-like boss in a Gibdo-infested tomb in ''Zelda's Adventure'' named Malmord, as well as NPCs Gar & Dion, the "Piratians" (which itself may simply be a Subrosian-missing-the-point of a name), and their Cap'n. Stallord is also a hangup to me for clearly not being human, so it would make sense IMO to leave it on the same level as Stalkoblin, which I also do not consider a direct variant (though I consider Stalblind a Stalfos due to at least being sapient and presumably having been human(ish) at some point if his backstory at all relates to the original Blind's, though I'm digressing hard here). Have any thoughts of these? [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 01:45, April 12, 2021 (MDT)

| == Famicom-era Zelda mangas ==
| |
|
| |
| Do you know if the two sets of mangas covering the two Fami-Com Zelda games (for a total of four mangas) published in "OnePack Comics" are official merchandise? Two of them seem to double as strategy guides by giving items, locations, and enemies bios throughout, though the fact that there's an actual story with Rumiko Takahashi-esque art (similar to what the Cagiva mangas did) seems to indicate its officialness above, say, the Million Publishing guide (the other has a kinda weird looking Link with a face a little too big for his head, and tends toward doing its own thing with the story). Additionally, the guidelike one gives separate sections for Fire Bago-Bago and Jermafenser II and has actual on-model solo art for the non-boss Great Palace enemies (those and Volvagia being the only ones really without due to how the final volume handled bosses). Note that the guide ones seem to have multiple authors, while the others are a work of a Ran Maru.

| I do see "(c) Nintendo" on the covers, but bearing in mind what Mister Wu said I wanted to be cautious. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 06:10, January 3, 2022 (UTC)

| == Twilight Dark World ==
| |
|
| |
| As I finally replaced my damaged nunchuck, I am starting a replay of TP anew (meaning activity here will probably increase from the nothing it has been). Right offhand, I notice highlighted references to Twilit Hyrule as a "'''world of shadows'''," "'''dark realm'''," "'''realm of shadows'''," etc. I recall HE and ZE listing TP as an appearance of the Dark World (akin to it sometimes being the "Evil Realm" or "Dark Realm"), so I was wondering if the Japanese script just called it the dark world instead of playing coy with syntax like the English one does.

| == Zol name meaning ==
| |
|
| |
| Been meaning to ask this for a while. A jRPG I like, ''Phantasy Star IV'', has a slime enemy called [https://youtu.be/DZelfpM9Y90?t=7645 Zol Slug], which, when there are exactly two, fuse together into a giant "Meta Slug." Do you know if [[Zol]] has any actual meaning that would connect this to the extremely similar ''Zelda'' enemy?
