Talk:Castle Guard

I'm suggesting we merge this with Hyrulean Soldiers. As it is, it's a ridiculously-similar article and not well-written to boot. Dinosaur bob 09:38, 5 November 2007 (EST)
 * Yeah I agree.--Green 19:29, 6 November 2007 (EST)

Four Swords Adventures
Question: Are the Soldiers in Four Swords Adventures considered possessed Hyrulean soldiers? Or just random dark knights?Dinosaur bob 09:11, 2 November 2007 (EDT)


 * I would say possessed soldiers, since (like many enemies in FSA) they look exactly the same as ALttP. --Adam 14:10, 2 November 2007 (EDT)


 * Then have I got an image for this page! You know, the poster art showing the four Links facing off against that horde of soldiers? It'll have to wait until I'm at my other computer and can resize images with Paint, though. Dinosaur bob 18:56, 2 November 2007 (EDT)


 * Why do you need to resize it? --Adam 03:13, 3 November 2007 (EDT)


 * Because, to the best of my knowledge, it's friggin' huge... and I'm still no good making thumbnails. Dinosaur bob 16:19, 3 November 2007 (EDT)


 * Though I suppose I could just upload it and see if someone could help me with thumbnailing it to a reasonable size. Getting it uploaded now. Dinosaur bob 16:49, 3 November 2007 (EDT)


 * Here we go: Fsasoldiers.JPG Told you it was rather large. Dinosaur bob 17:05, 3 November 2007 (EDT)


 * Excellent image; I tweaked it a little :) --Adam 17:22, 3 November 2007 (EDT)


 * Thanks! Just glad to contribute!Dinosaur bob 17:29, 3 November 2007 (EDT)

Another question on these; The guards in FSA seem to be colored by what weapon they wield, I could be wrong, so I wondering if anyone with the official guide has any info on this. 06:31, 27 June 2009 (UTC)

Guards, Knights, and Soldiers
A glance through this article inspires me to re-write and expand it, as there's so much left unsaid... But, before I do that, maybe the title of this page should be changed to Knights or Soldiers. The FSA enemies already included in the article generally don't guard castles, and there's no strong evidence suggesting they were once "un-corrupted" (to my knowledge).

So perhaps with the name change, a plethora of other articles could potentially be merged with this article. Perhaps it could even include brief notes of nameless guards, such as the Stone Mask soldier in Majora's Mask, or the Dying Soldier in OOT... --Guy (T 16:35, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The Stone Mask soldier isn't nameless. :( His name is Shiro. Guess he was pretty justified in his whining about how few people payed attention to him.
 * I do think we need to figure out what to do here. The problem is bigger than you mention, though. We've also got Knights of Hyrule and Royal Knights to deal with... The various characters seem to be too different to have ALL of them in the same article... What to do, then? I'd say merge most of these into "Knights of Hyrule", but where would that leave non-Hyruleans (such as the Mad Bomber)? And the Ball and Chain Trooper... is he actually a Hyrulean Knight? I always thought that he was just another evil dude made but Ganon, but hey, I could be wrong. --Ando (T) 20:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)


 * The Ball and Chain Trooper was in Hyrule Castle during ALTTP, along with all the other corrupted soldiers, so it seems he would be Hyrulean.


 * With the exception of ALTTP, there's only one type of knight that appears in each game: good or corrupted. So, it wouldn't be hard to make a comprehensive article for each type, I guess.


 * I still think they could all fit in this article neatly, provided enough thought was put into its organization, but its length would probably rival that of Link's page if everything relevant was included. Perhaps even just make this an overview page with things like "Main article: Hyrulean Knights" spread over it, if fitting the entirety of the information here really is out of the question... though I don't see why it would be...  --Guy (T 20:52, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
