User talk:Bpenguin17

Sorry, Bpenguin, as interesting and thought-provoking these may be, Zelda Wiki.org is not a forum. It is akin to Wikipedia in the sense that it is a factual, content-based site. Other sites in the community, i.e. Zelda Universe, ZeldaInformer, and Zelda Dungeon, are good examples of places where the questions and theories here are acceptable and encouraged. The only place that theories exist here on the wiki are in Theory sections of individual pages. Other than that, we really try to emphasize factual content over theoretical. If you would like answers to your questions here, hit up one of the forums on the sites mentioned above - you will garner a better response, I'm sure. Just a heads up! ;) 20:20, 21 August 2010 (EDT)
 * I'm confused. Was my question about posting a Wiki Exclusive article off topic, or was it the article itself? Or are my forum-like postings on my discussion page not acceptable? Bpenguin17 22:03, 21 August 2010 (EDT)
 * Hi there! It's your talk page to which Cip is refering. As he said, we're encouraged to visit forums on other sites for this type of discussion, and use talk pages for (mostly) directly wiki related conversation. Hope that helps!! 23:38, 21 August 2010 (EDT)
 * I see. All right, I understand. I'll get rid of the non-wiki related stuff. Bpenguin17 23:53, 21 August 2010 (EDT)
 * There, done. Thanks for the advice, I might just get an account at one of those sites. I must say, the admins at Zelda Wiki are a lot nicer than others are when you make a mistake. See you around the site! Bpenguin17 00:12, 22 August 2010 (EDT)
 * Yea, I meant the talk page stuff (thanks Embyr!). But it's all good, no worries! With ideas like yours, the forums are gonna eat you right up! :D 00:28, 22 August 2010 (EDT)

Actually, user talk pages are pretty much free range. You can discuss things here that aren't wiki-related if you want.. It's only on article talk pages where we'd rather people didn't get off topic (i.e. discussing what their favorite boss is, ect.). But, discussing things on your user talk page is fine. 05:08, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Policy mix-up, my bad! Please forgive me! Forum talk is strictly restricted from ARTICLE pages, not TALK pages. Pretend I never said anything! 01:14, 22 August 2010 (EDT)
 * Really? Well, all right then! I guess I'll put it back up! I THOUGHT that user pages would be pretty free, but I wasn't familiar with specific policies. Well, thanks for clearing that up, Mandi. Hey, and it's all right, Cipriano and Embyr. Happens to everyone. Bpenguin17 01:31, 22 August 2010 (EDT)

Hello
=  The Legend of Zelda Movie General Discussion = This is where anyone interested can post their ideas for a film adaptation. (See below for specific topics.) Anyone is welcome to share their ideas, so please do! Just be nice and don't be a waste of text. Bpenguin17 18:27, 21 August 2010 (EDT)

= The Legend of Zelda Movie Specific Topics =

Should a film adaptation be Ocarina of Time: The Movie?
Ocarina of Time is easily the most cherished entry to the series, and the first one people think of when considering a Zelda movie. Do you think a movie should be based on OoT, or another game, or several games, or an entirely new adventure? Bpenguin17 18:29, 21 August 2010 (EDT)

Ganondorf's Weapons
In every 3D installment, our favorite villain changes his weapons. Giant daggers, katana, a longsword-- which ones should he fight with in the movie? Bpenguin17 18:32, 21 August 2010 (EDT)

It's About Time
Time travel is an interesting cinematic mechanic, and useful too. A few Zelda games use this device and the movie might, too. The question is, how? As a fast-forward to the future? (If so, should Link have a child actor and an adult actor?) Maybe as a recurring three-day cycle, with the final day bringing the end of Hyrule? Perhaps an emergency rewind to a safer time period, like in the April Fools' trailer? Or should time be left out of it entirely? Bpenguin17 18:33, 21 August 2010 (EDT)

What Sidekick?
Link's partners tend to define the game that they're in (with the merciful exception of Navi). I picked Kaepora Gaebora, who would you pick? Or, invent someone just for the movie! How would he/she/it move the story and set the tone of the film? Bpenguin17 19:40, 21 August 2010 (EDT)

Kaepora's Backstory
If Kaepora Gaebora's character was expanded, what do you think we would find? This is my story: Kaepora was one of the Sages along with Rauru at the time of the Hylian Civil War. K.G. was sworn to guard the Triforce from any who would try to take it, but became tempted himself. Believing that if he claimed the Triforce, the war would end, he betrayed the trust of the other Sages and entered the Sacred Realm. He seized the Triforce and made a wish that Peace would fall over Hyrule. The Triforce granted his request by sealing off the Sacred Realm from Hyrule, making the war pointless. Trapped in the Sacred Realm, Kaepora died. Because he was a Sage, he was reincarnated as an owl, preserving his spirit in the body of an animal. This is why the Light Temple's symbol features a Triforce along with a bird. This whole backstory will foreshadow the similar way Ganondorf will be transformed into a pig-demon and will eventually escape the Dark World. What do you think? What do you think would be a good backstory for everyone's favorite talkative owl? Bpenguin17 19:41, 21 August 2010 (EDT)
