Talk:Blacksmith's Forge

Terminology
Last I checked, this location was never actually called "Blacksmith's Forge" anywhere within the game. Plugging in the phrases "blacksmith's forge" "a link between worlds" into Google got less than two full pages of results, with the top results being related to Prima Games. As far as I can tell from in-game evidence, the actual name of the location is simply "Blacksmith"--yes, the same as a character in the game, but as far as I can tell the only official name for the location nonetheless. Of the three languages on the North American version, only Spanish distingushes the person from the location ("Herrero" for the person, "Fragua" for the place; French uses "Forgeron" for both person and place). I really see no reason why we should use an arbitrary Prima-coined term over in-game stuff...--Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 05:13, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm sure the sign outside the building in-game has the answer. Alas, I do not own the game so I am unable to check. When creating the page I stuck with the title as stated in the Places in A Link Between Worlds page because it's a lot more logical than trying to put the building and the person on the same page since they are two different things and therefore warrant two separate pages with distinct titles. I'd honestly rather leave the title of the page the way it is since it avoids confusion, and the title is pertinent to the building as it is. However, if you still feel strongly about this matter and wish to change it, nobody is holding you back from doing so. 20:44, 31 January 2014 (UTC)


 * The sign outside the building does have the answer. It's simply "Blacksmith".  The same is true for the weather vane next to the Lorule version.  --Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 23:04, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Why not just change the pagetitle to "Blacksmith's forge" and note that the name is unofficial on the article? Honest, and allows us to still cover the topic.KrytenKoro (talk) 23:20, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Good idea. 01:36, 1 February 2014 (UTC)
 * What about the translation used in A Link to the Past, "Smithery", which would avoid confusion with the character. Jeangabin (talk) 15:35, 10 April 2016 (UTC)
