message: On Fado's bio, it says that the figurine states he idolizes Saria and is the descendant of Mido. I don't see anywhere where it says that. --24.91.78.26 22:28, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

message: On the Link section, it states Outset is a fishing village. When and where in the game was this stated?
:I'd say that it is a residential island. I don't think there is evidence proving of it being a fishing village. But, as the commerce on the islands mostly rely on fishing, it could be stated that all of the islands are fishing villages, but this would be idolizing them. I wouldn't think Forsaken Fortress is a fishing village... YazzaMatazza 14:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

message: What's with this "remote control" buisness with the King of Hyrule and the ship? I always thought he transformed into the ship. -- Random Contributor
:Because you're never shown how it is that he used the ship, it's open to interpretation. It could be that he transformed into it, or it could be he controlled it from afar via magic.
:Therefore it needs to be reworded, but I'm not sure what wording would suffice. Master Thief GarrettTalk 30 June 2005 02:50 (UTC)
I assume he controls it, as he talks through the stone in Hyrule Castle, but Link and Tetra are still in the boat.
The King's presence in the boat is more of a spiritual possession than a "remote control." Recall the aforementioned point in the game where Link and Tetra are in the boat in Hyrule Castle. The boat now appears lifeless, or rather soulless, but the King still talks through the stone. Speaking via the stone could very well be called "remote." However, when they meet the King in his human appeareance in the chamber, he is still not physically there — after his speech, the vision of his body begins teleporting out of the chamber, proving that he is not in a tangible body.
By the time period of The Wind Waker, this King Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule would have aged too much to keep his physical body, even if he was a very young man when Hyrule was flooded. Ganondorf's corporeal reappearance centuries later is an exception, as the seal placed on him in Ocarina of Time supposedly worked around time to a degree. It seems most likely, therefore, that when Hyrule was flooded, the King's soul or being or whatever was placed inside the boat, or maybe even something else first. But how could the King be alive in a physical body controlling the boat from afar? That seems unlikely.

message: Is there any chance of adding some minor characters, like some Windfall residents, or the funny boat people who talk about Grappling hooks. I would like to see it, or is this limited to just the main characters? Ashnard talk 22:08, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

text: But what is this opposed to? If they were bigger characters, then it would just be Original Research.  It's hard to say that this is just copying from the gallery when this is less of a crime than writing an unsourced article. Ashnard Talk 09:08, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Since these aren't truly characters, there's little reason for them to be here. Most of the info here is redundant to the Bosses in The Legend of Zelda series page, so any non-redundant info should be moved over, and then the section replaced with

message: All that we really need to have a smooth merger is adding a section labelled "characters in Phantom Hourglass and we can list the few major characters in this, such as Links fairy, Linebeck, The Ocean King/Old man, and Bellum. It would cover both, be comprehensive, and reduce down one stubby article. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 04:43, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: ...but why is this page an appropriate target for a merge? There's no shared info, so it's just going to be putting two disparate articles on the same page. Honestly, if you guys are so desperate to merge all the short articles, merge it to the Phantom Hourglass article. At least it would make sense there.Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 11:44, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: ...but there IS shared info, mainly about Tetra, and the pirates. Judgesurreal777 (talk) 15:15, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You mean the ? Yes, both articles have that, but that doesn't seem to me to be any reason to merge the articles. And the pirates (which aren't even mentioned in the current PH article, for good reason) don't even appear for more than twenty or so seconds, and have absolutely no place in the plot. Actually, they kind of do the same thing in TWW. In fact, Tetra herself serves only as a prop in Phantom Hourglass - her involvement could be summarized with "Jumped on Ghost Ship, got turned to stone, Link rescues her and transforms her back".Not even Mr. Lister's Koromon survived intact. 16:54, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
