Talk:Yuga

Is it okay to point out the obvious resemblance to Ganondorf?
Because the Hilda page seems to point out the obvious as well. Dekler (talk) 20:31, 13 October 2013 (UTC)


 * No, that is pointless. Let the readers notice the similarities and think for themselves. The resemblance is not even that obvious. Champion of Nayru (talk) 00:22, 14 November 2013 (UTC)Champion of Nayru


 * I say we wait until the release to see how far the similarity extends. And this case is rather different. Hilda is Zelda's counterpart; Yuga doesn't seem to be Ganondorf's counterpart.  00:37, 14 November 2013 (UTC)
 * Is it ever officially confirmed that Yuga is Ganondorf's counterpart? He does wield the Triforce of Power (through Ganon), but I don't remember that ever being said. It sounds more like a theory than anything.~.:NasiDe:.~ 10:29, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * It's never stated that Hilda is Zelda's counterpart, or that Ravio is Link's counterpart, it's just incredibly likely, same applies here.--LordM (talk) 13:46, 25 November 2013 (UTC)

What I Think about Yuga
Some of you have noticed the resemblance to Ganondorf (Especially the OoT design). I think that Yuga is the Lorule version. Since Lorule is basically the opposite of Hyrule, and Princess Hilda is almost the opposite to Zelda, so obviously, Lorule is an alternate universe.

Just a thought.

Just a thought, do you think Yuga is a corrupted/traitorous former servant of Hylia? He serves one he calls "Her Grace", just like Hylia.--Krystal (talk) 00:03, 14 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Zelda Wiki is not the place for speculation. Try discussing this on a forum. Champion of Nayru (talk) 00:22, 14 November 2013 (UTC)Champion of Nayru

Gender
I haven't played the game yet, but right now the him being male is sourced to an Eiji quote. The reason I don't find this to be a reliable source is because it's not explicity said he is male there, it's just the male pronoun he is used, and the problem with that is the Japanese language lacks gender completely, so if it was a translation the gender would have been forced in, and if it was in English there is a possibility he misspoke. Can someone who has played the game confirm the gender, and if it's still true can a more direct, in the very least in-game, source by referenced instead? 11:12, 23 November 2013 (UTC)

Like this quote: "I don’t think he’s a Gerudo. I think perhaps the designers were a bit influenced by the art from past games. One of things we did with him, actually, was to make him a little bit ambiguous gender-wise, whether he’s a man or a woman. Having the longer hair and all. He also actually sings in the game.” — Eiji Aonuma, is actually relevant as it directly addresses gender, but it's still a bit ambiguous to whether he is male or gender ambiguous. Is there anything in the game that out right confirms it one way or another?

Race
Why is Yuga's race specified as Gerudo? Aside from people making resemblance comparisons to Ganondorf, there is nothing that confirms him as a Gerudo, most especially because he lives in Lorule. I would think that he would be a Lorulan or Lorulean. ~.:NasiDe:.~ 06:14, 25 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree wholeheartedly, removing it from the article. Dekler (talk) 14:26, 26 November 2013 (UTC)

A compromise
Can we add a trivia section saying he has a remarkable resemblance to Ganondorf rather than mucking around with a "counterpart" sidebar? His resemblance is obviously not a coincidence so it deserves a mention, but when push comes to shove he's not a colorswapped Hyrulian like Ravio or Hilda so we can't just call him a counterpart.
