Talk:Buzz

Bazu
As with many ALttP enemies at the moment, this name is unofficial, so I suggest moving it, along with a number of others, to their Japanese names. This enemy is known as Bazu, or "Buzz", which implies that its actually an insect and not even a reptile. There's a bunch of other misnamed enemies, such as Rabbit Fang (which is called Toppo), Reaper (Hyu), Cyclops Fish and a number of others that basically have fanon names right now. It'll take awhile asking for permission to move each one, but I figured I might as well just move all of the unnamed enemies (I've checked, the obscure ones that DO have official names are ones like Pengator, Freezor, Pikit, Zirro and Swamola) to their Japanese names. I'm a little nervous about just doing it all at once because I don't want to make a fuss, but I don't think it should cause too much controversy, and asking for permission for each one would take a bit too long.

 * An alternative for the Dark World enemies would be to merge their pages with their Light World counterparts. That way we can avoid calling them by their Japanese names and still remain accurate. For the other ones I guess we wouldn't have a choice. Thoughts?
 * Also, could you make a list of all the enemy pages that need to be moved? Just to give everyone an idea...
 * By the way, although it may not look like it sometimes, we do appreciate you trying to improve this wiki's accuracy. You'll have to forgive our slowness in these matters. It's all a part of trying to get things done on a wiki :P 20:41, 10 October 2011 (EDT)


 * I like HK's idea (about merging Dark World counterparts and such). And I also agree about possibly giving us a list of all the enemies that have the "wrong" names. You've posted so many that I've lost track, haha. XD Dany36 20:47, 10 October 2011 (EDT)


 * I don't like this idea, because I don't think they were meant to be "counterparts", more that they just use the same AI routines. This enemy is a perfect example, because its not a rat at all, and has no connection to it, other than it generally acts the same. There's an enemy called Pirogusu that has more viability as a counterpart to the Rat (the name seems to be a reference to the Japanese name for the Rat, and its a bit like an aquatic rat) even though it doesn't act exactly like one. Likewise, the Taurus enemies are much more like Pig Warriors, also known as Moblins. Moblins use the same movement routines as the weak Soldiers in Hyrule Castle, does that mean they are counterparts? What ARE counterparts exactly? Moblins, Hinoxes, Ropas, Wizzrobes, they're all enemies that have appeared outside of the Dark World in many games, usually more often than not. Just because an enemy is obscure and uses the same behavior patterns as another doesn't necessarily mean they're related. On the other hand, something like a Stalrope is DEFINITELY related to a Rope, simply by name alone. The concept of a "counterpart" in the Dark World is very vague and I don't think it necessarily applies to individual creatures. Most monsters appear in both worlds at some point. There are a very small number that only appear in one or the other, so surely the idea of a counterpart is moot if 99% of creatures don't have them? Fizzle 21:05, 10 October 2011 (EDT)
