Talk:Garo Robe

New Theory?
In my theory that I am trying to make the accepted theory for Majora's Origins (On my talk page) I mentioned the theory that the Garos may be the Terminian counterpart of the Sheikah, or could be the Sheikah. Is this worth mentioning on the article?--The Keeper of Majora's Mask 23:32, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Real Name?
Isn't their name Garo Robe? Even though they're ninjas the semi-gibdo father said their is Garo Robe.

. --Icytriforc

All I can say is that's true.

What I think is that Garo Robe is the name of their race, and Garo Ninja is their class. --Yuvorias

He says their scientific name is Garo Robe and the scientific name is always different to the name people normally call them just a thoughtGaradex 16:56, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Garo should be considered as a race?
Garos are one of the few enemies that can talk. And they're widely thought to be a Race... Deku scrubs can talk and now they're considered a race as opposed to an enemy. The only reason they attack you is cause you are an imposter. So shouldn't Garo be considered a race? Onyx 23:41, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I believe Garos should be considered as a race.CoreyPotter 01:29, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

Perhaps this statement from Pamela's Father will help: "That is the ghost of a ninja. Its scientific name is Garo Robe. They are merely shells that are empty on the inside. They're the shells of spies from an enemy nation sent to investigate Ikana. They have been unable to forget their living days. Even now their spirits--emptiness cloaked in darkness--continue to spy."

- Pamela's Father (Majora's Mask)

They are definitely a unique group of people. According to Pamela's Father, they are from another nation. They could very well be different race from the people of Clock Town. I'm all for it. If anything, it is a spin-off race. They are certainly unique now. Their ability (willingness?) to talk is a rare. Few minor enemies do this. This is a ability typically reserved for bosses. Of course, the bosses of are not the most talented of speakers. I'd say we should do it. Create a page Garo and add as much information to it as we can. I know a lot (because I liked this game so much that I played it over thirty times) so I can add quite bit. 01:58, August 16, 2008 (UTC)


 * We need to separate the information about the race itself in this article and move it to the Garo page. 09:07, January 22, 2009 (UTC)

Merge
I am totally against this merger. They are not the same thing. This page is about the enemy called Garo Robe. The other page is about Garo race as a whole. The information in these two pages must be shifted so that information about the race is on the other one, and so only information about enemy is in this one. 22:13, March 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, a merge on this page would be pretty out of place. It would be like merging Saria with Kokiri. Just because a character is from a particular race, doesn't mean the pages need to be merged :P 22:49, 26 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The thing is, guys, is that, besides the Garo Master, the most and only significant Garo, only Garo Robes make up the Garo race. Thus, the article on the Garo can only talk about the characteristics and behavior of the Garo Robes... which would make this article extremely redundant. I believe a redirect would be the best option here, as the information to be placed here would be exactly what is on the Garo page currently. 03:42, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * There really isn't much information on Garos except what is in the article already, so having two articles is redundant. The articles are almost exact duplicates because that's all the information we have on the Garo. Ganondorfdude11 20:23, 4 March 2010 (UTC)
 * I also think they should be merged. It's totally redundant to have two pages on these guys. To make a distinction between the race and the ninjas isn't really practical, since we know absolutely nothing about the race other than, They lived in an enemy country, And, They spied on Ikana. That's it. No article. Just make one page and reorganize it into headings. Seperating it into two articles is just too confusing. 13:58, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, it'd be quite hard to make the distinction between the Garo and the Garo Robe since the latter is the only one in the species. It's hardly like merging Saria with Kokiri as there are many other notable Kokiris with pages. In truth, ya have two articles about the same exact thing, and the only logical thing to do here is to make them one. 18:03, 25 May 2010 (UTC)
 * In light of my respect find, the Garo Master page, I do recant my earlier statement. Let's find as much possible information, including refs for th Garo (race) page, then move all other Garo Robe stuff out to its page, as there is more than one member of the Garo race. 18:07, 25 May 2010 (UTC)


 * Well here's a refs page I put together (it's missing a few quotes that I thought were unimportant, like all the hints they give you. Doesn't tell us much about them): http://sites.google.com/site/garorobes/


 * Anyway, like I said. I think a page STRICTLY refering to them as "IN-GAME ENEMIES" will be lacking. Likewise, a page STRICTLY refering to them as a Race will be lacking. They'll both be stubby, seperately. Together, they're one pretty article. =) IMHO. The only reason the Garo Master gets a seperate article is cuz he's a miniboss; otherwise, it would be simple enough to work him into a Garo Robe article (All the different color Chus don't need different pages, do they?) Can't we just have an article: "GARO" and a section: "GARO ROBES"? I just think it would be less confusing... but whatevs. =) 02:37, 26 May 2010 (UTC)

Shield a Weapon
I was wondering if the shield should be put as an effective weapon for enimies like Garo Robes and Bubbles? Archon 19:21, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, go ahead! :) Dany36 20:59, 18 August 2009 (UTC)

Poe Salesman
So why is this here? It was in the previous game and only resembles the Garo in that it uses a hood to hide its face.
 * The Poe Collector also guards the entrance to Ikana. 17:42, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd think that would be more a connection to the Ikana Royal Family than their enemies. PureLocke 17:53, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm not defending the trivia. I'm just saying he appeared in Majora's Mask (you said it appeared in the previous game). I don't think he bears much resemblance to the Garo, but. Whatever. Apparently someone does. 17:58, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
 * By the previous game I mean OoT where he/she/it was wearing the same clothes(though the MM version doesn't have the Triforce) I can understand the similarity to Subrosians but just being in the same area and wearing a hooded cloak doesn't seem very substantial. In addition it acts like a proper ghost as opposed to some sort of shade/revenant like the Garo. It also seems to be aware of its death and has its own house (or decided to ‘live’ there) while the Garo are unaware that they are dead. PureLocke 18:33, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
