Talk:Termina

message: Does anyone know which of these is the correct term when refering to the Hylian-like inhabitants of Termina? Ian Moody 11:28, 14 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe both are allowed but I would personally go with -an. Some real-world examples: America/American, Armenia/Armenian. --Ntwhz 11:26, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: An inhabitant of Hyrule is a Hyrulian, and a Hylian is of the specific race with long ears, therefore it is more likely that the "humans" are "Terminan" and the inhabitants of Termina as a whole are "Terminian" Setokaiba 19:50, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Setokaiba is correct. A "Terminan" is a human character who resides in Termina while a "Terminian" is a character regardless of race who resides in Termina. However, it is apparently argued that the terms are opposite of what we are assuming. Unless a verifiable source can be provided within the article (which is in desperate need of clean-up), we can only play hit and miss. I'm going to make the changes now. 192.30.202.12 17:44, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

message: I find it excellent that ths area is included in the article.  Perhaps it could be mentioned that topographically, this area extends to the north, beneath Snow Head perhaps.  It also contains the gateway back to Hyrule.  Of course, this would be borderlining speculation, and I want to avoid that.  Intriguing as this area may be, especially since it is only accessible from one side and only seen in the beginning, the following can be determined:
1.) Entering Clock Tower northward, one must go down the stairs to the left, which wind counter-clockwise and let off facing north.  The underground river that powers the waterwheel is therefore flowing east to west, which makes sense because it could be originating from the eastern mountains and letting out in the bay.  
2.) The steel door at the far end (north) of the chamber can only be opened from behind.  Conceivably, if this door were to be held open, the Terminians could escape through here and take refuge in the caverns to follow, or perhaps even find the gateway back to Hyrule and escape to there.
3.) The stone pillars in the cavern behind the steel door form an arrangement that turns westward.  At the end of this chamber is a small tunner that turns leftward again, and so we are now facing south.
4.) After going south a couple of rooms, we arrive at the point where Link fell to in the beginning of the game.  If you were somehow able to scale the wall, then conceivably you could pass through the portal and return to Hyrule.  There is no documentation -at least none that I have found- that suggest against the possibility of being able to cross over through the portal the other way.

replies: text: I'm pretty sure the games present a different story - that the four giants created Termina. I'm pretty sure the goddess story is one of those that Zelda.com came up with, and conflicts with the game quotes.

thread_title:  Parallel/Alternate Dimension? 

message: Seriously, I'm seeing a lot of unnecessary editing going on, and most of the time it just screws things up in the article that were perfectly fine before. We don't need to know every single little detail about every area in the game (for example: don't talk about piece of heart locations in the Woodfall article).

message: I played Majora's Mask using the Game Shark and have the following to report:
It is possible to "moon jump" over the steel door in the bottom of the Clock Tower and walk through the twisted hallway and back into the cavern.  This area is normally unaccessible upon initial completion.
In the beginning of the game, after Link falls down the tree trunk, you can moon jump (or rather, float) your way back to the ledge where Link had fallen from.  This suggests that if Link had the proper grappling equipment, he may in fact be able to escape back to Hyrule.  However, it should be noted that attempting to walk through the hole results in falling into the abyss, because the programmers would have never intended the opening to work two-way.
Of course, I realize that using the Game Shark isn't in keeping with the context of the game's storyline, but it was interesting to explore.

thread_title:  Termina and Hyrule connected 

message: This article should be merged (or maybe just redirected), because
#It's the plot summary of *one* Zelda game, and is not nearly as notable as Hyrule
#It's unreferenced and doesn't have any information beyond what is in the game - because it is a plot summary
#If you read this section in WP:NOT you will see that this type of article isn't allowed.
I'd recommend that it be transwikied if you want to save the information.

replies: text: Most of the references can be taken from in-game quotes, the official zelda-pedia, and possibly from news articles (we'd have to search for them, though) - instead of deleting the page, how about you put a notice on the project page and the top of this article that it needs to be better cited - we are currently adding citing to a lot of other articles, so pretty much the only reason this is missing cites is that we haven't gotten to it yet. We'd be happy to fix the problem, if you would ask us to.KrytenKoro 18:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

message: Wait, since Termina was created by accident, does that mean that Termina, philosophically speaking, was never supposed to exist? Leader Vladimir  —Preceding comment was added at 16:57, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In-game, the giants are given credit for its purposeful creation.
"The imp was a friend of the
giants since before they had
created the four worlds."
and
"He had lost his old friends.
The imp returned to the heavens,
and harmony was restored to the
four worlds."
I suppose it could be argued that the "accidental creation" was that they created the giants in Hyrule, and the giants created Termina - this might make sense, given that Hyrule, where the Imp went, is considered "the heavens" to Termina. Which would also make Hyrule not a parallel dimension to Termina, but higher up on the hierarchy to Nirvana - so the resemblences are just due to reincarnation or summat.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 15:50, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
