Talk:Skull Dungeon

Death Mountain
The map of this dungeon resembles the map of the "Level-9" a.k.a. "Death Mountain" of the original "The Legend of Zelda" game. Also, contains lava, like the "Level-9". Also, if the map of the lower section of the level (the "jaw") is placed on top of the higher one, the new layout resembles the Second Quest "Level-9". Maybe this layout was intended for the remake of the "Level-9" that would be in the the remake of the original "The Legend of Zelda" game, the one that came to be the "Oracle of Seasons".Gomess 512 (talk) 23:50, 31 March 2017 (UTC)

Sorry, but this is pure speculation and we can't add it to the wiki. -- Hylian pi (talk) 18:36, 1 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Of course not, speculations and coincidences do not belong to a wiki, this stuff is only for the "trivia" section, and only a few things must qualify to be put there. I just pointed out a fact; it does resemble "Death Mountain". But we can't be sure if the developers had that in mind. However a "weak" speculation belongs to the "Discussion" page. Because someone else may provide an argument that would make the speculation stronger, or weaker, or eliminate it. This sounds like a forum job, I admit. But this Wiki contains a lot of trivia, so why shouldn't we add more of it? After we agree that some information qualifies though. (And something irrelevant: thank you for your polite way of answering, most answers I get in here are from slightly rude people.)Gomess 512 (talk) 13:31, 3 April 2017 (UTC)

I have consulted the wiki team about what Trivia sections are for. They are for facts that don't belong in the main body of the article, often times something that is not in-universe. Resemblances are usually speculation and rarely fact. As an example, I've edited a page for you. Take a look at my edit: https://zelda.gamepedia.com/index.php?title=Rupee_Wraith&diff=prev&oldid=531264 The reason this Trivia detailing resemblance is allowed is because it is an objective resemblance. We should not be using language like "x resembles y", we should be comparing sprites and models that are identical at the very most. It can be mentioned that skull dungeon's map is the shape of a skull in the main body, but pointing out a resemblance to Level-9 is pure speculation. The only way something like that would become fact would be an in-game source saying that it resembles Level-9 or that someone from Nintendo could be quoted saying so. Something is only a reference if we have a source. A lot of our Trivia sections are not done correctly right now, unfortunately, so please don't necessarily take them as inspiration. I hope that clears everything up. -- Hylian pi (talk) 21:14, 3 April 2017 (UTC)
