Talk:Tektite

Article
Being that Tektites have appeared in practically every game, I think they deserve a bigger article.

Water Tektite
Given that Water Tektites have a completely different name in Japan, and don't even look anything like Tektites in A Link to the Past, which was their first appearance, should there be a page for Hōbā or Hover or whatever people are happy with as a name? I think there is confusion between them and the Blue Tektites in Ocarina of Time, even though the enemies aren't really meant to be related. The ones in ALttP certainly don't resemble Tektites in the slightest. Perhaps Water Tektite should be split from the main article as technically they are not the same thing? Yes, yes, American names are canon on this wiki and all, but that still doesn't mean the American names can't be misleading. As things are, I was searching for the ALttP enemy and simply could not find it until I stumbled here. Anybody playing ALttP certainly would not equate that enemy with a Tektite, so its fairly confusing. Fizzle 18:49, 4 October 2011 (EDT)


 * I disagree.
 * Would people be any more likely to equate them with the name "Hōba" or "Hover"? I don't think we need to make this our problem. Canon sources call them Tektites, so all we can do is take their word for it. Besides, most people probably look for enemies through the gallery pages, which does a fine job helping people associating a name to a visual.
 * There's no need for us make more work for ourselves in this case, that's what I think. 20:32, 9 October 2011 (EDT)
