Talk:Agahnim

My Snes LttP manual simply says "heir to the Seven" then the next page says "masses proclaimed him their hero". Does anyone have a more completed manual than this one? I should add that my manual is in perfect condition.Axiomist 06:28, 27 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Interesting, the GBA Manual says: Agahnim, a mysterious sorcerer who gained fame for extinguishing a devasting blaze of unknown origin some years ago. My personal preference to canon would be the Snes manual mainly bc it's longer and more detailed. Is it more uniform to merely notate the rerelease differences in the backstory, or does is the port the canon one and vice versa?Axiomist 01:32, 28 December 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm not entirely sure which would widely be considered the canon variation, but I'd say the GBA version. After all, it was modified to conform with new elements introduced after the SNES version's release (the changing of "the seven wise men" to "the seven sages", etc.), and so I'd imagine that it "fits in" with the rest of the series better. 14:38, 29 December 2008 (UTC)

Japanese Oracles names
In the Japanese version of Oracle of Seasons the mid-boss of Dancing Dragon Dungeon is named アグニマ Agunima, sometimes referred to as 三体の魔導師 Santai no Madōshi ("triple-bodied mage"). The name アグニマ is similar but still distinct from アグニム, Agahnim's Japanese name, suggesting that it is a different but related entity. Would this be significant enough to mention?

 * Those are great finds, but I'm always wary of website information; sometimes I'm sure that the Japanese fanbase often gets its names from the American fan base, and ends up using our fan names. Hence, if this wizard is known as Agahnim over here, then they transliterate that back as Agunima. That second finding is more interesting however... Zelda Europe has SOME of the Japanese guide, but for some reason doesn't contain all of it, so sadly I cannot find out the exact names. Maybe I can compare these websites with what they do show and find out which one is most accurate; perhaps one of these sites is using names straight from the Japanese guide, in which case we can find them all out. Also, wow, I'm like a year late on this, huh. 07:34, 3 March 2012 (EST)

Art - sprite colour differences
Out of curiosity is there any particular reason that Agahnim's robes are red in the art but green in the game? I'm sure it's probably colour limitations or something, but they gave Link a red tunic, so I don't see why Agahnim got green robed. Whatever the reason I think it's notable enough for trivia.

 * It most certainly is. I went ahead and added it myself. Nice spot! 12:11, 15 January 2012 (EST)


 * For the record, I'm not entirely sure why this occurs (same with Link's hair colour), and was thinking of doing some research into it, as its one of those long held confusions that people say is due to colour limitations but may in fact simply be due to an intentional choice of some sort. Personally I think Link's pink hair, for example, is intentional; I think they did it to distinguish it from the brim of his cap, and because his hair was reddish back then anyway. Or possibly its because they wanted bunny Link to be pink. Agahnim might be a case of running out of pallettes for bosses or enemies or it might be that the official art was done seperately; which would explain the confusion over Zelda's official art too, where she has two different outfits. 07:34, 3 March 2012 (EST)
