Template talk:Zelda characters

message: I removed the villain characters in the template, since they are already covered by Template:Legend of Zelda villains--☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 20:27, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Villains

message: I think that we should merge the two templates Zelda Characters and Zelda Villains. There really is no reason for them to be seperate, and seperated, they are both very empty. Rather than having to small related templates, I think we should have one good sized template. This is why I previously edited this template. --Superneoking 21:59, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. When I first saw it, I couldn't figure out why Ganon wasn't listed as a main character, which is why I came to this page. Besides, the villains template doesn't have anything on races, and I don't think that has it's own template, so it makes sense to have it in with characters. Corbo 10:22, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Impa isn't really a MAIN character, not is Tingle

replies: text: Impa hasn't appeared in a lot of the games but she's often integral to the plot, sending Link off on his quest or whatever. She was certainly a main character in Ocarina. Tingle has actually appeared in quite a few games, often in an important (if annoying) role. It really depends on how you define main.  If you argue it's based on number of appearances then all you're really left with is Link, Zelda and Ganon(who hasn't been in all the games) since Agahnim and Vaati have had less appearances than Tingle and Impa. If you talk about plot importance, then they all have some claim to justify being there. Corbo 18:55, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Impa?

message: Why is keaton in here? It's a minor character in one game, and only appears as a mask in the other. It is not integral to any game's plot, and the article is very short and does not contain as much information compared to the others in the template.
:The only reason I know of concerning why it's here is that it's a distinct, lengthy article on the character which seems rather complete. It's true that the character doesn't hold the greatest importance and its info could be merged somewhere else, but until that's done it still is a character and thus belongs in the template. So your issue might more importantly be "why does Keaton have its own article?" --Tryforceful 06:37, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

message: Since when is Malon such an important character to be in the template? To me she seems nothing but a supporting character.Yes, she appears in more than one game, but she isn't very important in any of them. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Qwertumz (talk • contribs) 01:18, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Malon... 

message: Perhaps we can add characters like Agahnim and Midna into the template, but in addition, change how characters are listed. They can be sorted into Minor or Major roles? I am sure something better could be thought up, but I just don't think characters should be removed simply because of their game appearances. For example, Impa might be in multiple games, but a newcomer in the series would probably be doubtful when comparing her article to the article for Midna. --Superneoking 18:19, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Template Changes

message: How on earth does Tingle get referenced in the main character box. Impa, Ganon, maybe Vaati, they all deserve consideration before Tingle. Furthermore, Tingle acts as nothing more than a minor supporting character in the main series games.
The template should be changed!

replies: text: Well, Ganon is in the template, so he did get considered before Tingle. I don't believe you'll find enough third-party sources for Impa or Vaati to establish notability. Tingle has at least one third-party reference in the article, although the notability claim is weak at this point. There were talks of merging Tingle into the list of characters, but it seems to have died out. Pagrashtak 05:12, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
