Thank You
I just wanna thank you by telling you something about Minish Cap while Vaati is draining the Light Force out of Princess Zelda. Did you know that while you're facing the three Darknuts that there is a time limit to when the third bell will ring. If you aren't able to defeat them in time, the third bell will ring and Vaati becomes a God. Surprisingly, all that happens is you hear a bolt of lightning, then the screen fades out, and the game over screen will be shown. When I first saw this, I was like, "AW common, I wanted to see what Vaati the God looks like". The wiered thing is, by the time Minish Cap was released, there was all kinds of new special effects for the GBA System. I hope you find this very interesting.--Vaati The Wind Demon 16:02, 16 August 2011 (EDT)


 * Whoa, I didn't know that! I thought the game was giving you infinite time at that point, but they actually made it more realistic :) Thanks for pointing it that out, I will check it ASAP :D Zeldafan1982 16:37, 16 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Please, allow me to show you a video I posted about it, it's the least I could do for you and a form of salutations for you, ;).

Thanks for the help
Hey Zeldafan1982, thanks for helping us revert pages after the recent vandalism! There are times in which very few staff members are online; its always good to see other users stepping up to take back control of their wiki! Happy editing and thanks again, 10:19, 22 November 2011 (EST)

Deleting bits of Timeline pages
Hey Zeldafan! Though Hyrule Historia has made much of timeline theory now timeline fact, this doesn't mean that we can go around deleting everything! Hold your horses! :) We are a wiki, and though much of this information is now superfluous, we do like to compile it into archives, if not keeping it at the bottom of the page to show where the community was before the grand announcement of the timeline - so before you go delete any more of our timeline pages, consider this! Also, we take pride in discussing everything with the userbase before large-scale deletions like this occur, make sure you pose our deletion proposal to the editors of this wiki before you go ahead and do it - chances are, some editors will disagree with what you want to do! Thanks, 20:39, 4 January 2012 (EST)
 * I see :) I have put back the Imprisoning War section. The "Deku Tree Succeeds" theory has its own page, so I didn't restore it. Zeldafan1982 10:10, 6 January 2012 (EST)

Hyrule Historia
Hello, Zeldafan1982! You have been doing a great job adding information that has been revealed in the fantranslations of Hyrule Historia, along with removing the theories that are just not relevant anymore...seriously! I've never been good at timeline/theorizing stuff, and since I haven't been really been keeping up with the contents of Hyrule Histora, I just wanted to say thank you for keeping the wiki updated with that stuff. :) Keep up the great work!

The Master Sword's origin
I see you removed the part from the Master Sword article about the Ancient Sages having involvment in its creation and said it's speculation, but... it isn't. As we know, Princess Zelda in Twilight Princess outright says they were involved in the sword's creation. Yet another Zelda, the Skyward Sword one, says she created the blade as well. By default, all official in-game information has presented us with this: the sword was crafted by Hylia and the Ancient Sages and later forged by Link. We can't really ignore non-mistranslated (as far as I know) information from a canonical game, leaving us with no choice but to assume it was co-created. The developers should have known that it's said the sword was crafted by the Ancient Sages when creating the story of Skyward Sword. Why else would they put their symbols in the Temple of Hylia? Alas, for those symbols to even exist would mean the Sages they're assosiated with do as well. The Ancient Sages appear in Twilight Princess, but are not seen in Ocarina of Time, Four Swords or The Minish Cap. We learn that they have been hiding deep within Gerudo Desert for a long time.

I don't mean to sound argumentative, so I apologise if I come across as that! I just personally feel that, while we know for fact that the Master Sword was created by Hylia, we can't then rule out the Sages' involvement unless a source such as Hyrule Historia says the Twilight Princess Zelda was misinformed by the likes oral tradition. It coming from a truly canonic source, the game itself, it can't be ruled out in the way that, say, a manual or Zelda.com can be. Do you see what I'm saying? Sorry to be of any bother, I just feel discussing this would be better than an edit war. :) Her Grace 20:23, 19 January 2012 (EST)
 * It's ok, I don't mind for a little discussion :)  Regarding the TP quote about the Sages, apparently it has been (at least partly!) retconned. Otherwise in SS, instead of having Link to forge the MS with the flames, we would see the sages empowering it. Retconns are quite common in Zelda anyway: according to OoT the ToT was built by the Sages, but HH mentions only Rauru, and there are several other examples as well which personally make me (in general) skeptical about the validity of older canon. On a side note: according to HH, the Sages were guarding the mirror after the execution of Ganondorf took place (in page 113 of HH)! I also had the impression that they did so earlier. Anyway..
 * There is still the possibility of course that the ancient Sages co-created the Goddess Sword, but since it is not mentioned in SS, I don't think we should take it as a fact. Another interpretation could be that, since the sages are protectors (same as Hylia) their emblems were included in the temple. Zeldafan1982 21:23, 19 January 2012 (EST)
 * I went into the game expecting to see the Sages be involved in its creation, to be honest! I am hoping new translations from Hyrule Historia clears up the Master Sword's origin, but if it fails to mention the Sages, I guess we can assume it's a retcon. It doesn't really bother me, personally. Thankfully, Fi and her reference to "oral tradition" explains stuff like contradictory quotes on origin stories and legends. Glad we can agree! If Hyrule Historia makes any official clearance on the subject, then we cam simply source the quote in the article. :) Her Grace 15:10, 20 January 2012 (EST)

Interview regarding Ganon's death in Wind Waker
Can I ask where the interview you mentioned in this edit summary is? I don't doubt that such an interview exists, but I am interested in watching/reading/listing to it. -- Snorlax Monster  12:11, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, here is a link for the interview http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/interview/2205. The relevant part is towards the end of the interview. Zeldafan1982 13:52, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks. -- Snorlax Monster  03:49, 10 November 2012 (UTC)

Featured article voting
Hey, so Mandi brought up a good point here about our Featured Article and Image voting systems. I personally would like to see a change, but that just won't happen if no one says anything or voices their opinion. I'm asking you to please voice your opinion on changing the system so we can move forwards with proposing actual changes and actually GET somewhere with this. Please and thank you! 04:37, 6 December 2012 (UTC)

Autopatrol
Given your consistent, high quality edits and commitment to Zelda Wiki for over a year, the staff figured it was high time you were made autopatrol. Congrats! Hope you stick around and continue to be our Hyrule Historia/Timeline whiz for many days to come. :) 23:57, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Wow, thanks. To be honest I didn't really expect that, since my wording usually is not on the level of other users here.. :) Anyway thanks and keep up the good work! Zeldafan1982 01:02, 20 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Your work around here is very much appreciated, so I just wanted to drop in and say congrats! Happy editing! B) --Dany36 01:58, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

Kudos
For this. To be honest, I was dreading having to do that myself and was saving it for last in the hopes that someone else would come in and do it. That person turned out to be you, so... mad props, man. :P 00:14, 26 February 2013 (UTC)
 * No problem! It would have taken a lot of time if there weren't scans available. Now it's just copy - paste. By the way, I would have helped with the refs earlier, if I had received the book. It took some time until it came here..
 * You did most of the updating yourself so kudos to you :) Zeldafan1982 15:51, 26 February 2013 (UTC)

Hey
So you seem to be pretty skilled at editing and checking the recent changes. Well we just happen to be in the market for a patroller right now. You can see what it's all about here if you aren't familiar. If you're willing to do it, just let me know and I'll get you all set up with the staff stuff and the user rights. Cheers! 22:58, 27 February 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey, bro. I posted this message awhile ago, and I just wanted to follow up and make sure you weren't interested. If you are, I need to know ASAP, but otherwise I'd still like a response saying that you don't want the position. Thanks! 04:35, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * I'll have to say that I'm not interested, thanks for the offer though :) Zeldafan1982 20:07, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
 * No problem! Just let me know if you ever change your mind! 22:58, 5 March 2013 (UTC)
