Talk:Shadow Nightmare

I disagree with the first form being referred to as a Giant ChuChu. That monster hadn't been added to the series when the game was made, and besides which, it more closely resembles a Bit or Bot from AoL. Dinosaur bob 21:05, 6 October 2007 (EDT)


 * Agreed, I've changed it. --Adam 04:27, 7 October 2007 (EDT)

Note
Firstly, the rollback was an accident :p, sorry there. I fixed it. Anyhow, can we get some templates for the forms like the Majora article? I think this page could be expanded quite nicely with more info on the forms attacking methods rather than just sounding guidish. 03:06, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Improve
This article really needs some work, probably even a rewrite. It feels as though a child wrote it, and several things aren't consistent with current articles. 23:39, 5 September 2009 (UTC)

Japanese name
In my opinion, the japanese name is wrong, because its just the english name write in katakana. For example, in Japan the moldorms are called Tails. We should put the real Japanese name of this boss.
 * I've found the names here: . According to this website, the Moldorm form of Nightmare is called モルドアーム形態. Jeangabin 07:34, 5 August 2010 (EDT)

Final form's name
I have a doubt: Its DeathI (with i of ice) or Deathl (with l of lanmola)? I think that is i because its sounds like eye, but I'm not sure.--(SilverArcher 07:29, 7 August 2010 (EDT)).
 * It's the i of ice. "Deth-I", to mean "Death-Eye". I don't know from where comes this spelling?! Jeangabin 08:41, 7 August 2010 (EDT)
 * Unfortunately, according to Nintendo's official encyclopedia {here), it's Dethl (with an L). I believe the original intent WAS DethI (with an i) but because some fonts have lowercase L's that look like capital I's, there was a miscommunication.  The issue seems to be because the I at the end is capitalized but the name is one word.  With all the OTHER strange names used, it's not that much of a stretch for someone to make the mistake.  Additionally, DethI with an i doesn't show up on Google in relation to Zelda, except as a redirect to this page, and a couple similar pages. Once again, however, I don't understand how this mistake could go on that long and not get noticed.  I prefer the spelling with an i, but it seems to be leaning the other way. -KingStarscream 19:05, 8 June 2011 (EDT)


 * Now the thing about that is, in the Official Nintendo Player's guide published by Nintendo of America the final form is referred to as simply "Death Eye". Honestly, I trust the good old NoA guide much more than Zelda.com, which is notoriously known as being a poor resource for Zelda information; it has been known to misspell names from time to time. Could there be any other source out there?


 * I think it would be best if we referred to it as "Death Eye" - if not because it'll help avoid confusion, then because the official LA guide is currently our strongest source. Either way, this is going to make for an interesting bit of trivia. 20:39, 8 June 2011 (EDT)


 * Agreed. If that's Nintendo's official take, I say go for it.  I only have the Prima Games strategy guide and it uses Dethl (El). Of course, this is where I think the whole thing probably started anyway, since this guide was released before the Zelda.com encyclopedia.--KingStarscream 12:57, 13 October 2011 (EDT)

This is interesting. The Official Nintendo Player's Guide refers to it as Dethl (p.84, 103) and Death Eye (p.112) in the same book. Looking at the Japanese, I think it's best to use Death Eye as the main form and say "Death Eye (also known as Dethl[el] or DethI[eye])..." with references to pages in the guide. Furthermore, the pages that refer to "Dethl" talk about Giant Gel, and not Shadow Bot. What do you think? 05:33, 16 October 2011 (EDT)
