Do you know if "Acheman" has a valid English source for the name, or is it just "this is a logical transliteration based off all evidence?" I couldn't find it in the manual, but I suppose Nintendo Power may have mentioned it? <s>I don't think that ''Devil World'' thing counts</s>.

Welcome, thank you for joining! I do apologize for mistaking you for being uninterested--like i said, I feel it can easily be misunderstood why another zelda wiki & have to explain to others what makes this one different. Thanks for sticking around. Whenever there's Zelda-type discussions to be done, you can come on Triforce Wiki. I'm considering on starting up a new logo for the wiki, since the generic triforce is just a placeholder for now. Otherwise, the style here is very similar to Super Mario Wiki, which is intentional.Results May Vary (talk) 00:13, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- I can sometimes be somewhat socially awkward (and use lots of words), since i tend to go in-depth with my speech. You & Doc have been inspirations to me in that I try and adapt your naming hierarchy across wikis, and being careful not to use fan terms. Just wanted to let you know :) Results May Vary (talk) 00:16, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
Degu/Dig
Lots of other languages seem to translate it as "big." It wouldn't surprise me if it's a combined corruption of "Deka" and "Big." Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 00:45, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
- I had considered having them as part of a glossary, like Stal-, Geld-, Mold-, and -fos, which I know NIWA Zeldawiki does something similar. However, if that were done, we'd obviously want to keep speculation as to the in-universe reason for the root words existing (like claiming they're Hylian or something) to nil. As for Degrock, that may have not been in reference to Jeakrock/Zeeklock, but just boulders/rocks in general. The heads all break out from a huge boulder in the middle, after all....

Futubasha
Do you have any idea if the Futabasha guide for Zelda II was licensed by Nintendo? I ask because I'm curious if the artwork has any degree of officiality to it. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 03:49, 17 May 2019 (UTC)
Acheman
Do you know if "Acheman" has a valid English source for the name, or is it just "this is a logical transliteration based off all evidence?" I couldn't find it in the manual, but I suppose Nintendo Power may have mentioned it? I don't think that Devil World thing counts. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 05:24, 18 May 2019 (UTC)

- Perhaps we could just split same-name characters for each game where we know that they are different characters.
