Talk:The Legend of Zelda (Series)

Expanding this page
This is probably one of the more important pages on the wiki, and, as such, it is the one in need of the most attention. I've cleaned up the basic gist of all but the original three GameBoy titles, and I'll be adding those soon, too.

I'd like to see a section describing the trademarks of the Zelda series, the impacts the series has had on gaming as a whole, and a section on the world of Zelda (not one plagiarizing the "Hyrule" entry, though). -- Lex


 * Can we get the title of this page changed to The Legend of Zelda (Series)? It just looks sloppy as it is now, and would help alot when trying to create links by fitting the mold different articles that use this sorting convention.67.160.13.15 22:09, 19 April 2007 (PDT)

What about the Link's Crossbow Training? does it not count? I do agree with LexLionHart- the first paragraph could use some detailing. ZeldaGirl96 13:32, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, Link's Crossbpw Training is more of a spin-off than an actual game. 13:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I think there should be a section in the page titled "Spin-Off Series", as the games on the page are already organized under series such as Four-Sword Series". 10:36, 3 July 2008 (EST)

In all honesty (im new my opinion dosent matter to much) i really would like the lay out of this whole site re-done. i found it little difficult to find an insite on majoras mask. All i was looking for was the plot and i end up being taken to a spoil straight away. then again its not spoils if im on this site but it would be handy for a easy use site.

Move
Quite frankly, the current title of this article is shameful and embarrassing. We should definitely move it. This would be one monster of a move though since this page is our third most linked to page. At the time of this post it was 1002 links. If this were not such an important article, I wouldn't have even considered it. But the pride and ego of Zelda Wiki.org is a stake! What? A little drama always helps! :P Now, talk away people! Decide. And decide correctly. Do it.... :P:P:P We may have to have a vote on this. 05:08, July 22, 2008 (UTC)


 * 1002 links? Good lord. Hm... I agree, though, this page title doesn't fit the format introduced by, well, every other page on the Wiki (TLoZ (game), TLoZ (TV series), MM (soundtrack), etc.). So I'm cool with a moving of this page to "The Legend of Zelda (series)". 12:45, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Capital "S" or small? I'd prefer caps. 13:08, July 22, 2008 (UTC)


 * (Series) plz. If anyone knows how to get a list of links, I'll help when I can to change them. 13:45, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Shoot. I guess that capital letters are on every other page such as this. I'd really rather have lowercase, but I suppose that it's all in the name of Wiki standardization... 13:51, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, Sea: check this


 * Shall We get started? 13:53, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Not yet. Let's wait a few more days to see what kind of input we get from others. This is going to be a pretty big change, after all. 13:54, 22 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Understood. 13:54, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

I vote on either (series) or (Series), not sure if capitalization matters on this term. 19:04, 22 July 2008 (EST)


 * It has been a while now. No one has objected. We should move it now. The format that all other page titles are in is: Subject (Type). That is, the word in the parentheses is alway capitalized. This is way physical encyclopedias do it too. So the move location is: "The Legend of Zelda (Series)". I'll get to work on fixing the links as soon as it is moved. I've fixed well over 1000 links in my time here. Best to have one person to do it at a time to avoid edit conflicts. I really need to do this. Fixing links is what I do most on this wiki. And I'm running out of links to fix! I need work! The number of links has climbed to 1067. That is still doable. The page has surpassed the Link page and this article is now our second-most-linked-to page. 22:03, August 10, 2008 (UTC)


 * Well hey, if you want to do it by yourself, I guess that I can't deny you such an opportunity. When you're ready, go on ahead and move the page. Ando (talk) 01:47, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

Oh wow
From the introduction I'm not sure where anyone wants this page to head. I searched for something like a cover page for everything else done here at ZU, this should be it. I was actually expecting a complete copy/paste job from Wikipedia. So I'll give the page credit for not being that. Well if we could toss some ideas around in here, I'll make this page one of my top priorities.Axiomist 05:05, 9 January 2009 (UTC)

TRR/TBF
Hmmm... I think that TRR and TBF should be added to this list, seeing as the CD-i's are here. Thoughts? 04:31, 9 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I think yes, and Link's Crossbow Training as well. Those spin-off games are surely of more significance for the franchise than the CD-i games which are hardly acknowledged by Nintendo. --Grandy02 18:54, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Zelda Wii fan art box
Despite being well made that box is a lie, and misrepresents known information. I vote to delete the image and use the poster on the page bc that's all that's confirmed. I doubt the box will look like that ever. 22:29, 12 December 2009 (UTC)

Infobox?
It seems to me that we need an infobox as an article header, one that has things such as first game, most recent game, series creators, worldwide sales figures, etc. We should make this article more than just a catalog of games.Ganondorfdude11 23:05, 12 December 2009 (UTC)


 * I second the motion. :P Now we can fight over how to go about doing it. 02:44, December 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd say genre, developers, publishers, creators, first release, and latest release. 02:59, 13 December 2009 (UTC)
