Talk:Poe Collector

I found it interesting that this article said this guy didn't appear in both times, but further down the page it does mention the soldier in the house. However, the article says it isn't sure whether or not they're the same person, but I have no doubts whatsoever. The guard says he's interested in ghosts, and also complains about how boring the peaceful state of the world is, which goes along with how the salesman in the future says how much he enjoys the current state of the world. As for the kid in the graveyard: come on. That kid's got to be younger than Link, and suddenly in just seven years he's a rickety old man? Not likely. He was probably eaten by a Poe or something.

Both of those theories are popular and have their pros and cons, so I think both should be left on the page. The Poe salesman isn't really tall, he could be a young teen, just mutalated. 22:53, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Exactly what are these pros and cons you speak of? The only evidence I can think of to suggest that the kid of the Poe guy is the fact that he's absent from the future, and I honestly can't think of any reasons why the soldier couldn't be him.


 * Oh, also, you think this should maybe be moved to "Poe Collector" or something? I don't believe he ever actually offered to sell a Poe to Link. Jimbo Jambo 23:00, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah. I like Poe Collector a lot better. 23:15, January 20, 2009 (UTC)


 * The argument of kid/ guard is here. Seen as he isn't referred to as anything in game, I would agree that collector or trader would make more sense... 23:21, 20 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I just read that entire thread, and by the end, most of the people who could speak in full sentences agreed that evidence pointed to the guard. Look, I realize every fan theory deserves a fair chance here on a wiki which must be unbiased, but if someone claimed that Zelda was Ganondorf's daughter, and had a small group of followers who supported the idea, I know it would not be added to the wiki, even under a Theory header, since the idea is ridiculous and has no backing, regardless of how many supporters it has.
 * If anybody here actually disagrees that the guard is the Poe guy, then I'd like to open up a debate, if not here on this talk page then on the wiki's community forum. I have no desire to go around crushing ever idea which is in opposition to my own beliefs, but the way I see it, these two ideas are not on equal ground and should not be treated as such. The idea that the kid in the graveyard is the Poe guy has nothing but plausibilities and speculation to back it up, whereas the the idea about the guard is strongly supported by in-game quotes.
