Talk:Chuchu

Merge Proposal
Hey guys, for future reference, if you want to merge this article with Chu Jelly, the deal is that you have to say why here, on the talk page. I personally think that they should be merged, so I'll do that right now:

Chu jelly and ChuChus are very related subjects; one is the "food" or ointment directly produced from the other. I also think we should merge all seven(?) chu jelly colors together; they share even more of a similarity. And since this is a young, small wiki, I personally think that a good, solid, comprehensive article is a lot better than many decentralized articles on similar subjects. In other words, its a lot easier to use this encyclopedia with highly related subjects grouped together.

So, please state *"support" or *"oppose" below, stating your reason. If I get any signifigant number of answers (3+), this will determine the outcome. If not within two weeks or so, I will merge. SeanMD80 18:16, 25 January 2007 (CST)

Discussion:
I dont think so, they may be similar, but they are different. Also, chuchus appear in games but havent always given jelly.

---

I support that articles need to be merged, but I don't think it's appropriate to merge the item Chu Jelly with the creature Chu. Based on the number of articles already on the wiki, I would like to aim for one article for ChuChus, and another for Chu Jelly.

Any comments before I do this?


 * I support that movement. However, don't go along with it until at least one other person gives the OK. I've always found the chu series of article so confusing, because there were so many. If you can put 'em together and make sense of them, that's great. But wait for at least one person to say they want them merged, too. Then do what you will. Likewise, this means I support having one article for chus and another for their jelly - not one article for both. One is an item, and one is an enemy. --Jase 17:50, 13 March 2007 (CDT)

18 March, 20:48. OK, 5 days and no further response, if nobody object within the next week, I'll go ahead and merge as above Adamcox82

Merge Completed
24th March: OK, I merged the articles so now there is just ChuChus and Chu Jelly (I hope, as long as I didn't miss any!) Still some stuff to do, as both articles need a little rewriting and cleanup Adamcox82


 * Awesome - looks great! Hopefully it'll provide a good basis for more Chu information to be added in one repository now. --Jase 06:10, 24 March 2007 (CDT)

ChuChu style
How is ChuChu spelled/punctuated? Chu Chu? Chu-Chu? Chuchu? Chu-chu?


 * It varies by game. Chuchu is used by Tatl in MM, and all of the figurines in TMC are spelled this way. In TWW the second chu is capitalised; ChuChu is how it is written in-game. TP shortens it to just Chu, and it remains to be seen how it will be spelled in TPH (probably same as TWW). I'm not aware of any canonical instance where it has been hyphenated or written with a space, unless someone else can cite one? --Adam 16:59, 18 September 2007 (EDT)

Lake hylia chu
In twilight princess what tree at lake hylia is it with a chu under it?--Link hero of light 19:06, 1 December 2007 (EST)

Blue ChuChu
I think the statement about the number of Blue ChuChus is misleading. Last year I preformed an exhaustive search for Blu ChuChus in The Wind Waker. I found only eighteen. Here they are:


 * 1) Pawprint Isle -- On the head
 * 2) Bird's Peak Rock -- On Grappling Hook ledge
 * 3) Cliff Plateau Isles -- Top by Korok
 * 4) Angular Isles -- Top by spiked chest
 * 5) Southern Fairy Island -- by tree and post box
 * 6) Stone Watcher Island -- behind Stone Head
 * 7) Thorned Fairy Island -- by east tree
 * 8) Eastern Fairy Island -- by tree and post box
 * 9) Crescent Moon Island -- by treasure chest and Blue ChuChu 10
 * 10) Crescent Moon Island -- by treasure chest and Blue ChuChu 9
 * 11) Northern Fairy Island -- by east tree
 * 12) Spectacle Rock -- Under bridge
 * 13) Star Island -- Under a big rock
 * 14) Mother & Child Isles -- by Goron Merchant
 * 15) Tingle Island -- by Tingle Tower
 * 16) Rock Spire Ilse -- by secret grotto
 * 17) Western Fairy Island -- by south tree
 * 18) Needle Rock Isle -- Northeastern rim

Therefore there is no validity in the Blu ChuChu statement for The Wind Waker in the article.--Matt 06:00, 26 April 2008 (UTC)


 * OK. If it's inaccurate, go ahead and change it ;) —Adam (talk) 07:30, 26 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Umm... Twenty-three Blue ChuChus? I spent two weeks hunting down those eighteen. I systematically checked every single island. I avoided all Blue ChuChus until I beat the Wind Temple. Then I drew up a 7x7 grid. I checked each and every island. Crossing out each square as I scoured it for the blues. After a two-week hunt, I found eighteen. Only eighteen. I'd sure like to know where these other five ChuChus are at. 09:25, December 31, 2008 (UTC)

Heh. I really should look at this before I change things. The 5 you missed:


 * 1) Boating Course (F-7), start on the big island, go to the highest point and float over to the other island. It's on the rock.
 * 2) Horseshoe Island (A-7), found to the right of the second hole, only at night.
 * 3) Diamond Steppe Island (A-6), climb to the 3rd area, and it's up there.
 * 4) Overlook Island (G-1) Hookshot to the second Palm tree and he's on there.
 * 5) Shark Island (C-6) Hit all 4 of the switches, go over to the Iron Boots Switch, change the wind to the south-east, float over to the cyclone, and use it to reach the highest point on the island. It's on the top.

I tried them all today earlier and they worked. --Josh 10:29, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

Plural
I'm not convinced that ChuChu is both the singular and plural form (as asserted in this edit). For one, the plural form "ChuChus" appears three times in the text of TWW, once said by a Fishman, and then on two separate Nintendo Gallery figurines. Also, for whatever it's worth, Zelda.com backs this up as the correct form here. 19:38, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Right, but page titles are supposed to be singular. Has anyone noticed how a lot of words in The Legend of Zelda series sound like the singular form could be the plural form as well? 19:45, July 3, 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah I know what you mean, it's usually those with names ending in -fos. And it really bugs me when I see people try to singularise (is that a word?) them by changing the ending to -fo! But anyway, yes the page title should be ChuChu, but the plural form to be used in the article is still ChuChus, so I'm reverting the edit mentioned above. Also, can someone please fix the two dozen double redirects the move has created please? 19:58, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * No that is not a word. But for some reason, singularization is. My spell check didn't complain. And I've never seen it before. 10:10, November 15, 2008 (UTC)
