Merging Hiploop with Helmasaur
From the article:

The Helmasaur's Japanese name is Hiploop (ヒップループ), so this is the same enemy as the Hiploop from Majora's Mask.

If that's so, then shouldn't the Hiploop page be merged with this? What do you guys think? Dany36 20:08, 19 July 2009 (UTC)


 * The hiploop page has a completely different Japanese name on it: Hiploop (ヒップループ, Hipuruupu). Somewhere, something is wrong. I'd hold off a merge until someone can find the error. I'll try to find someone that can really speak Japanese to have a look. 00:25, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * 1 Hiploop is probably a localization of Hipuruupu, so they might have just said Hiploop so others would understand. 2 The Japanese characters are identical, which reinforces point 1.
 * You know my stance. If Volvagia and Barba are merged, these should be too. 03:45, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, I personally know your stance but if you and I aren't here next year and someone asks why these articles were merged, we'd have the comments archived in the talk pages. The reasons can be evaluated then, instead of leaving confusion. I thank thee for following ZW consensus guidelines. 03:54, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok! I didn't saw what was above before submitting the merge :p The japanese name is confirmed here: A Link to the Past Translations. Helmasaur from Four Swords are also called Hiploop, and Iron Masks are sometimes referred to as Hiploops as well. Jeangabin 21:35, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Hiploop and Hipuruupu are pronounced the same in japanese: "r"="l" and "oo"="uu"="ou" (+ note that the kanji are the same). Jeangabin 19:28, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
