Talk:Ancient Robot

"People of the area"
Where exactly are these mentioned? I've just gotten to the Fire Sanctuary, so maybe it's explained later, but so far I've seen no trace or mention of any inhabitants to the Sand Sea beyond the Robots and the two Gorons.KrytenKoro 14:56, 2 December 2011 (EST)
 * Yeah, I played through it and no mention of them either. I was the one that added that part...I remember seeing it on a website somewhere (I found it before the game was released and when Nintendo was releasing ridiculous amounts of info), but upon trying to find it, I had no luck. So yeah, I think we should remove that part. My bad. :P Dany36 20:16, 28 December 2011 (EST)

Just went on the offical site Says "The Ancient Robots perform various tasks for the people of the region" "People" XXSuperXXNintendoXx 22:13, 28 December 2011 (EST)

I think a better term for these beings would be "LD-Series".
Every single robot in Skyward Sword is an LD-series robot. Most of them are LD-301, including the specially-designated Scrapper and Skipper, except for Scervo (LD-002S) and Dreadfuse (LD-003K), which appear to be very early models based on their number. Spoon Link 21:11, 12 December 2011 (EST)


 * I see your reasoning, but I'm not sure if we should move or not yet. Technickal 19:12, 26 December 2011 (EST)


 * I don't agree its just two vastly different we should merge Scervo and Dreadfuse though XXSuperXXNintendoXx 22:13, 28 December 2011 (EST)


 * I agree, except the model number should be included in there, too. I think they are called LD-301 or something like that. Noble Wrot 22:22, 5 January 2012 (EST)


 * I'm a bit mixed on this. I think more people might think to search "LD-..." because when you ask Fi for information on any of the robots, it says they're part of the LD-301 series. I don't think "Ancient Robots" is ever said in the game. But on the other hand, the official site calls them Ancient Robots... But I must admit, I had trouble finding the page when I first looked them up because I didn't think they'd be called that... Ezluke 14:22, 13 January 2012 (EST)
 * Calling it the LD Series might be closer to their technical name, but literally no one calls them that when referring to them in discussions, and the official website's designation for them suits them fine. Ganondorfdude11 00:55, 23 January 2012 (EST)
 * Now in April, conversation on this topic's been stagnant for awhile. I'm in agreement with GD11 - the official guide for Skyward Sword, authorized by Nintendo, and the official website for the game both call them "Ancient Robots", so there's no use in moving them to a less recognizable and appropriate title. What we can do though, is set up a race article for the "LD-Series" and include all the robots in a discussion pertaining to shared characteristics and habitats similar to the articles on the Zora and Goron races. Just as Dreadfuse and Scervo deserve their own articles as significant in-game characters, let's leave the general page on the minor Ancient Robots alone, or at least compactify it to only include information on them. 13:18, 9 April 2012 (EDT)
 * To weigh in on a dead convo...Fi calls them LD-301, and since the games themselves are the greatest indication of what is and is not canon...I'm all for moving them to LD-301. I also like Cip's idea of creating an LD series page describing all the different robots in the LD series (like Dreadfuse, Scervo, skipper, etc.). I'd like to get some more people to weigh in on this. Thoughts? 23:54, 9 December 2012 (UTC)
