Talk:Dark Interlopers

Dark Link SSBB
Um...shouldn't that picture of Dark Link from SSBB be taken out? I don't think it really has anything to do with Twilight Princess, not to mention that SSBB itself is considered to be noncanon. Dany36 18:42, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It was on the page before I edited it. I don't know. But it's similar to the Dark Interlopers in TP, in terms of looks. =/ You can do what ya want. :P 18:55, 16 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, I didn't even know this was brought up, but yeah I agree with Dany, it isn't the Dark Link from TP nor canonical. I think the page looks bad with the overcrowded images, anyway. 19:01, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Theories
There are all these theories about the interlopers and barely anything is mentioned here. Shouldn't we atleast mention them? -- Ember Incubus -- 05:07, 4 February 2010 (UTC)

Video
I clicked it, it apparently was removed due to "Terms of use violation". Goddamn Viacom. Should we look for another one?--FlareKitsune 02:06, 10 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. Ganondorfdude11 02:10, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Aha! Danke my hard-hatted friend~--FlareKitsune 18:29, 10 March 2010 (UTC)

Adam and Eve?
Anyone else think that comparing the dark interlopers to adam and eve is a bit of a stretch....? Namelink 05:54, 26 May 2010 (UTC)NameLink
 * Well Link and Ilia but yes, it is quite a stretch, the basic structure of the "hero's jouney" isn't mentioned at all on Link's page and that would be more relelvant than parallells to a religion that was throughly removed from the series after the first couple games.

 * Entirely a stretch. 1) There's a bunch of other versions of what the tree in Genisis is supposed to be, just like there are mutiple versions of Genisis in the multiple versions of the Bible. For example; Tree of Life, Tree of Knowledge, sometimes has added "knowledge of good and evil". 2) Japan is mostly Bhuddist, so Christian iconography, if ever and with actual intent, is taken at face value; Yu-Gi-Oh once had crosses in the anime, but they were just crosses (which 4-kids made into Monoliths), because here in the states, the majority of the population is at very least vaguely familair with the Abrahmic cult's symbolism, if not a member. In the first game, Link's Big Shield had a cross because Miamoto must have seen a picture of a European knight (of which, the style in the armor, weapons, technology, and geography has been the bassi throughout the Zelda series), and thus, may have seen a picture of a Crusader with a cross-emblemed shield. 3) The day-glo snake says, at the end of the cutscene, what the blank-eyed (yes, "Blank" is a better word. "Clear-eyed" usually is used to described very blue eyes, or someone who's perspective is enlightened in some way) murder spree was: corruption in the face of being overwhelmed by power. 4) The bible-humper who wrote that failed to complete the analogy by writing what the Interlopers/Dark Links represent, or Link being 'deleted' and his body/soul/something beign stolen (FYI: I think it's innacurate to say that "Link is on their side"; Links eyes are normal just before he gets blasted, and the Interloper's eyes are still blank. I also hate that "Tower of Babel/Babil is the Stone Tower in Termina" theory for having so many presumptions and holes (and, as addressed above, "Hero's Journey" is more the common thread, as well as in any story in literary history, not "just the myths of the bible"). Hell, if anything about that story is Abrahamic, it's that the three Interlopers represent Christianity, Islam, and Judism, how that they view that any other conflicts as inconsequential to theirs, and how those religions (claim to) have powers beyond that of normal men, then use those powers (ie: socio-poltical clout) to destroy humanity, and then continue their acts in the guise of being "for the people." --Xu-kitty 02:14, 10 September 2010 (EDT)

The Cult
Sorry if this is out of place I'm a little sleepy but if it is indeed true on the Dark Interlopers being a cult of different cultures who banded together could that be then that some members of the Sheikahs and Gerudo fell into this cult? I mean they were locked up as a group in a dark world and maybe decided to make their own race and call it twili. Plus could explain the tear in the eye of the Sheikahs symbol, could mean the betrayal which some members fell into this cult. My explanation is that the sheiks were close to the royal family and they were close to the sacred realm so maybe some got possessed and turn into this cult along with some Gerudo who were probably following ganon who too was in it for the triforce. (Oh and I'm a noobie sorry if it came out wrong I'm using an itouch on this)


 * Interesting theory, but could you please take it to a forum? Talk pages are meant to discuss the article on the subject, not the subject itself. Also, you forgot to sign. -- 12:22, 1 September 2011 (EDT)

The missing Triforce
I think it is very important to underline, that the Triforce in the backstory of Lanayru dissappeared in the end. Yes the light spirits sealed away the fused shadow and the Dark Interlopers were banned into the Twilight, but the Triforce was never mentioned to be removed by either the goddesses or the light spirits in the end!

But the vision clearly emphasizes on the last moment of the Dark Interlopers and on the stylized Sacred Realm, which is totaly empty.

So here is the theory about the divine fluke:

We know from OoT that the Shiekah tell about the legend, that everyone with an unrighteos heart who touches the Triforce, will trigger to shatter it and it will be given to those persons who were destinied to obtain them.

So Ganondorf,(Zelda, Link) got his/her piece because of the Interloperes interference? It is highly possible!

Trivia Citation?
Has anyone found a citation for the Trivia point yet? As it is "Trivia" and not part of the main article, citations are a must. I would hate for it to go if accurate (as I am part of a forum that deals with Zelda Theorizing), but would also like a higher quality article.

 * Getting a citation would potentially necessitate a 1:1 comparison between JP and EN text, which I don't think exists. We also don't have anyone directly on hand who can fluently read Japanese well enough to confirm the claim at this time, so I'm not certain when we would be able to confirm or deny it. 00:31, 17 January 2016 (UTC)

Move to Interlopers?
The term "Dark Interlopers" doesn't appear in the script. They are referred to as interlopers, once, in Lanayru's tale. Zeldafan1982 (talk) 19:17, 1 March 2016 (UTC)
