Talk:Death Mountain

Death Mountain Appearances
Death Mountain appears in other Zelda games. I'm sure it was subtle in The Legend of Zelda, but I also know that the maze of caves in Zelda 2 was supposed to be 'Death Mountain'. If anyone wishes to expand the article with additional information, please do. I can't find the right way to explain it.


 * Did my best to add the info from those two games, as well as A Link to the Past. Dinosaur bob 11:17, 5 October 2007 (EDT)

Merge
Well Adam tagged it and I support it. I swear it'll be so great to have the weaker articles merged to make a stronger one. The Death Mountain Trail is the exterior of the Mountain, this should be an obvious merge. 03:18, 16 May 2009 (UTC)
 * It doesn't make sense to have separate articles for what is essentially the same place. I agree with the merge.  Ionizer 08:59, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Meteorite
Did anybody notice that in Twilight Princess, Death Mountain viewed either from Hyrule Field or from The cliff while howling to the Hero's Spirit, appears to have been crushed by a meteorite? If the Dragon Roost Island theory is correct, then this didn't happen in the adult timeline, but in the child timeline clearly something happened. I looked around this article but it doesnt seem to mention it anywhere. Anybody know anything about this?Takhamavahu 22:25, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Twilight Princess Shape
Is it just me or does it seem as if the mountain in Twilight Princess is shaped similarly to a baked potato or some other dome. The sides look like they are either straight down near the bottom edge of view or that they may even curl slightly inward as if the mountain is shaped like a sphere sitting on the top of the ground. I'm really not sure but is that even possible for a mountain to be shaped that way? It definitely looks interesting, I'm just not sure it could actually exist like that. Either way, it's interesting.

Split Death Mountain and Mount Hebra
In A Link to the Past (at least the Japanese version), the Death Mountain region was called Mount Hebra in the Light World. But in Breath of the Wild, Hebra and Death Mountain are two different locations. Personally, I don't think this inconsistent if Hyrule is a volcanically and tectonically active region and centers of volcanic activity in the real world can migrate their locations over thousands of years, and Hebra is just the old Death Mountain that has since gone inactive save for its hot springs, with the craters and caldera-like depressions giving evidence of its past volcanic activity. This would be good material to contribute to a theories section, but I digress. If these articles are split, it should be noted that the two locations are, at times, one and the same location, but sometimes separate locations, depending on the game. Before BotW was released, I would have said certainly keep these two topics as one article. But considering they are two separate regions (with the entire Lost Woods sandwiched between them) in BotW, a separate article will certainly be needed, including references to Hebra in other games and how/when they overlap with Death Mountain. But that makes me wonder&mdash;how do we handle Tabantha? Even BotW never quite seems to makes it clear whether Tabantha is part of a greater Hebra region (as suggested by the map zoomed out and by Hebra Tower's name despite not being in the Hebra Mountains themselves), or whether Hebra is part of a greater Tabantha region (as suggested by the map's non-Hebra Tabantha geography). If Tabantha is the name of the overall region, then the Hebra Mountains certainly overwhelmingly dominate its geography. - Dermotmacflann (talk) 01:09, 7 April 2017 (UTC)


 * We are developing a page on the Hebra region. The regions within Hebra include Hebra Mountains, Tabantha Frontier, and Tabantha Tundra. There will also be pages on each of these regions and each region that lies within those regions. Sorry, but we will not be treating Hebra and Death Mountain as the same location in any sense. Perhaps a trivia section on Death Mountain's page that states its Link to the Past Japanese Light World shares the same name as Hebra in BotW, WITH proper sources, but that's as far as we will go as to avoid speculation and theory, which we don't do. Your theories are interesting and always appreciated, but they are not for the wiki unfortunately.
