Desperately trying to make sense of the official names of the CD-i Zelda enemies.

!Current Name
!Proposed Rename (where applicable)
!Evidence
|-
|align=center|[[File:Abominom TFoE sprite.png]]<br>[[Abominom]]
|Abominan
|
*Said in-game by Alora.
*Spelling is given as "Abominan" in the UK guide, confirming the name link, though the pronunciation is quite ambiguous; it could also be Abominom or Abominam.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Acheman TFoE sprite.png]]<br>[[Acheman]]
|
|
*Looks are similar to the Acheman sprite/drawing from Zelda II, but no official confirmation on its name.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Arkadai TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Arkadai]]
|
|
*Named in the UK guide. 
*For some reason, the guide refers to the Shutoy Lake Arkadai as a raft? Were there rafts in the area at one point? Or is it just bad writing?
|-
|align=center|[[File:Armos TFoE sprite.png]]<br>[[Armos]]
|
|
*Concept is similar (stone statue-like warriors that wield a spear), though there's no official name confirmation and the designs look very different.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Arpagos sprite.png]][[File:Arpagos small sprite.png]]<br>[[Arpagos]]
|
|
*Said in-game by Kulvan, with the two related trade items (and UK guide) confirming the spelling.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Bago-Bago TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Bago-Bago]]
|Flying Smog
|
*Not sure how the name was tied to this enemy, but they're way too different for any sort of connection.
*I propose the conjectural name "Flying Smog" due to the smoke billowing from its backside, and because it makes rooms dark when it hits Link or Zelda.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Boar TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Boar]]
|Pig (enemy)
|
*Named in the Wand UK guide.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Boon TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Boon]]
|
|
*Called "bees" in the Wand UK guide.
*However, the Zelda II Boon art and this enemy look quite similar, and the enemy is referred to as "Killer Bees" in the NES Game Atlas. As such, I'm leaning more towards leaving the name as-is.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Bot TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Bot]]
|
|
*Matches this enemy the most in terms of design.
*For some reason, the UK guide calls these enemies "Tektites" or "Tiktites", despite the huge design difference between Bots and Tektites.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Boulder TFoE sprite 1.png]][[File:Boulder TFoE sprite 2.png]][[File:Boulder TFoE sprite 3.png]][[File:Boulder TFoE TWoG sprite.png]][[File:Boulder TFoE sprite 4.png]]<br>[[Boulder]]
|
|
*Named in the UK guides.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Daira TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Daira]]
|
|
*Looks identical to the Zelda II Daira art. Plus, the Fish Lady cutscene names the enemy and confirms a link (even if she's technically referring to Fire Dairas).
|-
|align=center|[[File:Darknut TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Darknut]]
|
|
*Matches very well with the LOZ Darknut art, even if there isn't a confirmation on their name. (They're referred to as "soldiers" in the UK guide.)
|-
|align=center|[[File:Deadite TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Deadite]]
|
|
*Named in the Wand UK guide.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Deeler TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Deeler]]
|Spider
|
*Referred to as "spiders" in the UK guide.
*They don't look much like the Deeler's promo art. The enemy labeled "Tektite" on the page is a better fit, IMO
|-
|align=center|[[File:Dodongo TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Dodongo]]
|
|
*Named in-game by Link in Wand, with the UK guides confirming the name link.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Falling Rocks TFoE sprite.png]]<br>[[File:Falling Bricks TFoE sprite.png]]<br>Falling debris
|
|
*Generic, fitting name for these things. No official name in the guides, and they're unlikely to get a unique page.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Fire Daira TFoE sprite.png]]<br>[[Fire Daira]]
|
|
*Referred to as "fire creatures" in the UK guide, but the Dutch version of the guide calls them "Fire Dairas" (Vuur Dairas).
|-
|align=center|[[File:Fire Stalfos TFoE sprite.png]]<br>[[Fire Stalfos]]
|Flame Stalfos
|
*Slightly tweaked version of the Zelda Wiki name to prevent copying. It's entirely fan-made.
*Closest in appearance to the Stalfos Knight from Zelda II, given their sole sword.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Flying Snake TFoE sprite.png]]<br>[[Flying Snake]]
|Flying Serpent
|
*Slightly tweaked version of the Zelda Wiki name to prevent copying. It's (still) entirely fan-made.
*Referred to as "snakes" in the UK guides.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Ghini yellow TFoE sprite.png]][[File:Ghini green TFoE sprite.png]]<br>[[Ghini]]
|
|
*Named on the back of the Wand of Gamelon box.
*Technically, there isn't a name link, but there's literally no other enemy that fits the Ghini name apart from this one.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Gleeok TFoE sprite.png]]<br>[[Gleeok]]
|
|
*Named in-game by Alora.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Gohma TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Gohma]]
|
|
*Named in-game by Anutu and Sanda.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Goriya TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Goriya]]
|
|
*Named in-game by the Sakado merchant. Name link is confirmed in UK guides.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Sidestepper TFoE sprite.png]]<br>[[Handwalker]]
|
|
*No official name. Handwalker is conjectural, but it fits for now.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Gleeok Head TFoE sprite.png]]<br>[[Head of Gleeok]]
|Gleeok head<br>(ONLY for the visual link!!!)
|
*Called "Gleeok head" in the UK guides. This change will only be visual, don't worry.
|-
!style="background:darkslategray" align=center|[[File:Icicle TFoE TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Icicle]]
|
|
*Generic name for this obstacle. What else could I name it?
|-
|align=center|[[File:Jawbee TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]][[File:Jawbee red TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Jawbee]]
|
|
*Named in the UK guide.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Keese TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Keese]]
|
|
*Referred to as "bats" in the UK guides.
*The name is generic, though, and given that the Vire appears in Wand (and has its name confirmed), I'm leaning towards keeping the Keese link.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Lowder TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Lowder]]
|Tree Slugs (maybe)
|
*Referred to as "tree slugs" in the UK guide. This name makes no sense in Faces as they appear in Ganon's Lair. 
*The Zelda II Lowder art and this enemy look quite similar, so it could go either way.
|-
|align=center|[[File:Gargoyle TFoE-TWoG sprite.png]]<br>[[Mini-Dragon]]
|
|
*Fan-made name, with no confirmation in the guides. It shall be kept until one is found.

|-
|align=center|[[File:Spider TFoE sprite.png]]<br>[[Tektite]]
|Deeler
|
*No name confirmation.
*Their design is a bit closer to the (blue) Deeler than the other spider; they have four eyes and are blue instead of purple
