Talk:Syrup

Merge
To my knowledge, the witch in A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening is not actually named as Syrup. If there is evidence that the witch in question IS Syrup, then we need to merge. If not, then we need to take the references to A Link to the Past and Link's Awakening out of the Syrup page, and dedicate that page to just The Minish Cap, Oracle of Ages and Oracle of Seasons and have a see also link back to Witch's Hut (and vice versa). 09:18, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the one in LA is named Syrup, not sure though. And I heard that they replaced the assistant in ALttP with Maple in the GBA version, so if that's not proof that it's Syrup, I don't know what is. 14:11, 14 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Maple is now her assistant in ALttP. Plus, they pretty much have the same appearance as the ones in OoX and TMC, so it can be assumed that she's named Syrup, huh? Dany36 21:10, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I wish we were free to ask Nintendo question like these at any time, not that they would know. When does Nintendo ever keep their stuff straight? Anyway, unless Witch's Hut is being moved to Syrup rather than the other way around, I say no. Noble Wrot 15:16, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Regardless, it is a person and a place, so I say no. Such things should be kept separate (as most are on the wiki, in the name of consistency and clarity) even if they are related, although I am in support of the consolidation of the references. Doing this merge would be akin to merging Beedle and Beedle's Shop Ship, things that should stay separate. 17:02, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
 * I am against this merge. Jeangabin 15:59, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Merge (Again!)
The witch in ALttP and Link's Awakening is officially named simply known as "Witch". Whether she is the same witch as Syrup or not (well, the one in Link's Awakening definitely isn't) is purely speculative and basically rests on whether the GBA version or SNES version of ALttP is canon (and even if it was, there's no proof that the two witches are the same). So I suggest we merge the ALttP and LA sections in with the ALBW Witch page. Obviously we can mention that the ALttP witch may be Syrup.

At the very least, the Link's Awakening witch should not be on this page. 23:23, 10 December 2013 (UTC)
 * It's definitely not the same witch, as her grandaughter is named Irene rather than Maple, with Maple being the Lorule counterpart to Irene.KrytenKoro (talk) 02:50, 11 December 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm fairly sure the Lorule counterpart of the Witch is called "Mapes" by the Fortune Teller, Irene has no known counterpart. This could possibly mean that the Hyrule Witch is Maple, but that's speculation. My argument isn't whether the Witch in ALBW is the same as the one in ALttP, but rather that the witch in ALttP is not Syrup. Therefore she shouldn't be on this page. She's more like the Priest or Sahasrahla, in that she's effectively the same "character" from ALttP but is likely a descendant. There are a few like that. 19:58, 11 December 2013 (UTC)

I agree the ALTTP and LA witches should be moved to the ALBW Witch article. No one has been able to present proof that they're called Syrup. Drillzer (talk) 06:15, 5 April 2018 (UTC)


 * After some initial checks, I had actually found that both Nintendo Player Guides used Witch as terminology and I was preparing to move both sections. However, I have since noticed that the citations on the Syrup page itself confirm that the name of the witch in ALttP is listed as Syrup in . As the wiki treats both Art & Artifacts and Hyrule Historia as a higher level of canon than the guides, the section on ALttP will remain on the Syrup page. The section on LA will be moved though. 21:25, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
