Talk:Goriya

Page has been stubbed as it needs to be expanded. Consistancy of images (boxes vs unboxed. No mention of the Adventure of Link incarnation other than in the infobox. Also, there are multiple versions in the original Legend of Zelda that should be noted. Mases 03:28, 20 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Article has since been expanded. Good work guys. There is still some work that could be done, but it looks nice. Mases 22:36, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Are those Green/Red guys in ALttP really Goriya? They don't seem anything like the others... --Guy (T 20:09, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * They're listed as such in the enemies section of the player's guide, I think. --KingStarscream 20:20, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Read the article. They were clearly meant to be a different, unrelated enemy, going from the fact that they're called Coppies in Japan. It's another case of the translators trying to pass off an enemy as a different one, like with ReDead Knight/Gibdo fiasco. - Dere 03:18, 12 June 2013 (UTC)

NOT Goriyas in Oracle of Seasons
I don't think the red, boomerang wielding enemies are Goriyas. I think they're just boomerang-using Moblins. The ONLY thing suggesting they're Goriyas is the boomerang, and that's not a very good method to go by - Stalfos use clubs, swords, and bones variously throughout the series, but they're all Stalfos because they're skeletons. --KingStarscream 20:23, 30 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Japanese official guide for the game names them as Goriyas separately from all the other Moblin types. I think the fact that they look like Moblins has more to do with them being lazy and not making a new sprite for them. Plus the visual distinction is less major with such a small sprite. Anyway, it's how they're officially named, so that's what we go with.
 * Now, the Goriyas in A Link to the Past are definitely NOT Goriyas, but since NoA called them Goriyas we're kinda stuck with it, I suppose. 01:00, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, that's exactly the kinda thing talk pages are for! Thanks for pointing that out. I'd like if we could add a reference or something so someone doesn't come around thinking the same thing I did. --KingStarscream 14:30, 31 May 2013 (UTC)
 * It's a little difficult to reference Japanese guides as it's just named in the enemy section, and scans would probably be frowned upon, but I can quote the name and some of the enemy description, that's a good idea! I'll do this as soon as I can. 14:40, 31 May 2013 (UTC)

Split
The "Goriyas" from ALttP and ABW have drasicly difrent from normal Goriyas, they also have difrent Japanise names, so I propose we should split the article. Gopherdude12 (talk) 00:54, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
