Page or List??
Personley, I would like it if this was a page itself, merging all of the other pages. What do you guys think??? GFlame 00:27, 30 September 2010 (EDT)
 * Normally, I wouldn't reply at this hour since I'm at part-time work, but while nobody sees me, here's my suggestion =)
 * Read carefully: Write Races in the Search field; you'll be redirected here, of course, but you'll also see Redirected from Races below the article's title. Click the link and you'll enter the actual Races page. Click the Edit button, delete the redirect template and start building the article. Please don't tell anyone I told you this. --K2L (Interrogatory) 15:06, 30 September 2010 (EDT)


 * Or just go here . Go ahead and clear it out and start building the page. Don't worry too much about your work being sloppy. Usually several people like to start working on new articles when they pop up. 19:31, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Dwarves
Should Dwarves be added as a race? I mean there is the Dwarven Blacksmith in Alttp but I recently saw that there is the Pot Dwarves from BS The Legend of Zelda: Inishie no Sekiban as well. Ideas, opinions? --Shadow Reaper 20:17, 14 June 2012 (EDT)


 * I see what you mean, but if there's only two instances of dwarves in the entire series, it's not really worth mentioning them as being their own race. 20:46, 14 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Yeah I didn't think it would fly but it was worth asking. Anyway thanks Hylian King --Shadow Reaper 20:59, 14 June 2012 (EDT)

Dragons
Shouldn't we add dragons as a race? They make several appearances, and at least four of them (Faron, Eldin, Lanayru, and Valoo) are peaceful and sentient. And on the topic of sentience, why do we have Remlits, Dogs, etc. as races? They can't speak or reason logically. I don't think they should be races anymore than Like Likes or Real Bombchus should.

 * If you look at the list of subcategories you'll see that the Dragons are already listed as a race (see Category:Dragons).
 * It is true that Dogs and Remlits are a species rather than a race (although, as a side note, using the Mask of Truth reveals that Dogs are capable of coherent thought). However, pages about certain species, namely Dog and Remlit, and pages about races, such as Goron, contain information of a similar nature. For example, both Dogs and Gorons are groups of beings; for the most part, you can't tell them apart, but there are a few of them that are special (like Barkle the dog or the Goron Elder). These pages use the same infobox template, Template:Species, because the fields can apply to both races and species (for example, you can have a "notable member" of a race and a "notable member" of a species). The Species infobox automatically adds any page it's used on to the Race category, which is why Dog and Remlit are seen in this category. 14:27, 21 October 2012 (UTC)

You're right. Thanks for clearing that up for me! Nare 15:38, 21 October 2012 (UTC)
