Talk:Stalchild

Size
Umm.... I know it's just speculation, but maybe the Stalchildren never appeared to adult Link because they were afraid of him, and they only had the courage to attack somebody their size? (but again, it's just speculation.) Yoshimon 17:58, 13 August 2008 (UTC)


 * if this was so than the larger stalchildren wouldn't have a problem confrontiing him onikage_666 20:00, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Number of Stalchildren...
Does anyone know the exact number of stalchildren one must kill in order for them to grow...


 * I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're asking. Can you be more specific?--Knife 14:00, 6 February 2010 (UTC)


 * Two years late, but what Sephiner Shaeld was asking was that given that the Stalchildren in Ocarina of Time tend to grow in size as you defeat them, just how many need to be defeated before they start growing? 09:45, 24 December 2012 (UTC)


 * If anyone is still curious, you need to destroy ten for a big one to appear, then ten more for another that is even bigger. That's as many as you can do in a night, but it keeps going if the game if modified so that it's always night (but only via modifying the game by codes or hacking). I believe you need to kill ten Guays and ten Leevers for their respective larger versions to appear as well. 14:40, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

OoT a stalfos as child
There is a stalfos in the spirit temple as a child, but you can simply get him to go off a cliff.
 * It's a bit too late to say so, but information like that would be better suited for the Stalfos or Spirit Temple page. Though, that information is already available on the latter. :) 09:45, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Merge with Stalkin
Same enemy, only a different name adaptation depending on the game. Jeangabin 09:22, 28 June 2010 (UTC)

Disappearance in OoT
It seems obvious to me that stalchildren would neither need to be wiped out nor grow up in order for them to disappear as Link becomes an adult: Stalchildren are weak, unintelligent, and...well...children. Thus, they may still exist, but they would remain hidden as Link is an opponent far superior to themselves. To fortify this theory, it should be noted that the Postman in Oot (the man you sell the bunny hood to) is never attacked by stalchildren despite the nights he spends in Hyrule Field. On the flipside, however, logically the stalkin in TP would not attack link as he, too, is an adult. However, TP takes place many years after Oot and just about anything could have changed (stalchildren evolved into stalkin, stalkin possess less reason towards their status as enemies than stalchildren, or perhaps stalkin are "teen" stalfos).


 * Fascinating. However, as long as your theory doesn't have some serious fan support on one of the major forums, it doesn't qualify for a theory section.Dekler 02:22, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

"Despite common perception, these enemies are not skeletal children, but rather simply small, weaker relatives of Stalfos"
Where is this stuff coming from? Seriously. Citation direly needed. Dekler 02:20, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Majora's Mask has them as undead soldiers, so unless Ikana employed an army of child soldiers, I doubt they are meant to be skeleton children. Also some of them are huge. 04:42, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
