Talk:Great Moblin

OoT Moblin
I can't find a single official source that refers to the big OoT Moblin as a "Great Moblin" (or "Club Moblin" for that matter). Even if there is one that I'm missing, the OoT "Great Moblins" and the Great Moblin from the Oracle games aren't at all related.

For those reasons, I'm proposing that the Ocarina of Time section of this article be merged into Moblin. 19:44, 31 March 2013 (UTC)


 * What Hylian King is saying makes sense to me. While there are a few differences between the two kinds of Moblins in Ocarina of Time, there are not enough to justify splitting them up. Besides, in appearance, they are very similar. Noble Wrot 21:30, 31 March 2013 (UTC)


 * It's the Japanese name for the enemy, so it seems. There are various websites online that refer to it by that name. Since it has no English name, I don't see why he should be merged into an already bloated Moblin page. I just checked and the filename for the official art on the Nintendo Asset Library is "bossbline" (regular Moblins are known as "moribline"). It's definitely the same enemy.
 * Also, he is a bit special, he even gets a new cutscene in the 3DS version when you first meet him. 00:00, 1 April 2013 (UTC)


 * Look, I'm fine with giving them their own page, too, if people would prefer that. I was mainly suggesting a merge with Moblin because I thought Great Moblin wasn't an official name. If it is, well... "Great Moblin (Ocarina of Time)" isn't pretty, but it works fine for me. What I care about is the fact that two unrelated beings are covered on the same page. Even if they share a name, they're clearly distinct. I don't think I need to say more, given that we've already discussed this at length. 00:37, 1 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I completely agree, and I think it could fit in with Moblin as we already do it with Skyward Sword's two varieties of Moblin, the Wooden Shield and the Metal Shield.XXSuperXXNintendoXx 03:07, 1 April 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm not entirely sure, because you could argue the same thing about LOADS of other monsters that share the same name but have radically different appearances (and personalities) across different games. At what point do we split a page? We need a proper rule for this, otherwise it just seems arbitrary. If they've got the same name in the Japanese games they're generally the same monster, that's the rule we use across all other enemy pages. In this instance, one of them is a boss and one of them isn't, I suppose that might be a rule we could follow? I would just prefer some consistency. 19:41, 1 April 2013 (UTC)


 * That's another can of worms there, dude. As for this page... The Great Moblin in OoX is more of a character than anything else. He can talk. He has a personality. The one in OoT is just a brutish creature that swings a club. How is separating these two arbitrary? 20:00, 1 April 2013 (UTC)
