It's called the Swamp of Evil. The dungeon's name is called Misery Mire. 21:06, 5 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Fixed. Good catch! Dany36 22:52, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I went through a bit of confusion with this. I'm been going through the ALttP guide, and it gives the "Swamp of Evil" the name "Misery Mire" and "Misery Mire" the name "Misery Maze", but I guess when it comes to what's canon, it relies mostly on the games, I guess.

Move Proposal
I've made some observations when doing multilingual name runs, and the term "Misery Mire" appears to be in the same situation as the term Thieves' Town--the name of a dungeon in ALTTP, the name of an outdoor area in ALBW. As per the precedent given to Thieves' Town (discussed here), I propose that the current ALTTP dungeon page be moved to "Misery Mire (A Link to the Past)", with a disambig page placed at "Misery Mire" linking to that, the ALBW Misery Mire, as well as the Swamp of Evil as per precedent of the Thieves' Town disambig. What do you all think? --Shiningpikablu252 (talk) 04:05, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Definitely agree, no argument here. Also to be noted, in Japan, the dungeon and the swamp are both called Devil's Swamp, and I assume Misery Mire is called Devil's Swamp in ALBW as well (I need to check soon). Misery Mire and Swamp of Evil are both alternate translations of the same name, the English version just separated the dungeon and region with different names. Pretty much exactly the same as Thieves' Town. 14:42, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree too, although I don't understand why we haven't done the same for other locations like the Swamp Palace. Have we agreed against making that a disambiguation, or is it just that nobody's gotten round to it? Forgive me I've been gone a while. 15:02, 3 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Mostly that nobody has got around to it, I believe. Probably best to keep the dungeons separate, even though Lorule is basically Dark World 2. Way too messy to have two dungeons on the same page even if they are very similar. 15:22, 3 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'll go ahead and start the move-disambiguation process for those that still need it. Granted, there are some users like KrytenKoro that might freak (KrytenKoro brough up on the talk pages for Eastern Palace ALBW and Tower of Hera ALBW that those pages should actually be merged back into the pages of their ALTTP counterparts simply because "they're the same building")...
