About German names

 * "Dodongo Schlangen" - or "Dodongo-Schlangen"? First seems to have a so called "Deppenleerzeichen" (i.e. the space) in it, but that (sadly) is pretty common in LA.
 * "Arachnos-Zwillingen" - or "Arachnos-Zwillinge"? Might be an error from Nintendo or so again, might also be some case thing (Arachnos-Zwillinge is (e.g.) in nominative, Arachnos-Zwillingen in dative; nouns are usually mentioned in nominative)
 * It might be that in Link's Awakening DX (Virtual Console) "Struppi" became "Komet" (most likely 'cause Struppi is the dog in "Tim & Struppi" aka "The Adventures of Tintin") and that "Geierwally" became "Trantrudi" (maybe cause of a historical woman known as "Geierwally") [might be = haven't played the VC version and thus don't know]


 * * Yes the magazine truly calls them with a space between the words
 * * The text says: "Dann erst kommt ihr zu den Arachnos-Zwillingen." So it seems to be the wrong case used.
 * * I do not own this version either, but I heared they changed the names, due to some copyright-issues, but the names of the VC-version are definitely noteworthy too. SkullJ 09:59, 22 May 2012 (EDT)
 * (1) ok; (2) yeah, sounds like wrong case in zw, thus changed; (3) of course, but "I heared" is no reliable source; "copyright-issues" more sounds like some guessing/rumor =/= fact + shouldn't count for Geierwally (e.g. see: de.wp(1), de.wp(2))
 * (4): zw name changes - both names should come from secondary literature (= aren't inside the game; the person who added the old names named sources), thus, if in fact both names come from official secondary literature, both names should be named, or?
 * (5): Shouldn't it somehow be noted that, if a name comes from a (official) secondary literature, it comes from (official) secondary literature (e.g. guides and everything else, which isn't inside the game)?
 * (6): just btw.: "Tal Tal" places should be with "Tal Tal" (engl.), "TalTal"/"Taltal" (Ger.) resp. "タルタル", TaruTaru/TalTal (jap.); well, maybe "TalTal" could be grammatically incorrect, but in the game it's also "MeowMeow"/"MiouMiou" & "BowWow". --Bernd 18:42, 22 May 2012 (EDT)


 * (3) I understand. (4) Yes, I don't really know from where the new names originate, but I'll let them stand there but also add the old names back and mention it from where they originate. (5) Yes, you can use this for example: . (6) If you know it, then add it. SkullJ 14:25, 23 May 2012 (EDT)
