Talk:Monk

Theory
I have a theory on these guys. And I didn't check if anyone else ever came up with this theory so it could be old news but I think it's very interesting. On the painting behind Impa where we see the battle of 10,100 years ago, but something about it is odd. You can see the monks. Why are they of all people there, on a BATTLEFIELD!!!! Well a guy in Kakariko Village tells us about how the monk in the shrine there was a great swordsmen, so we know at least one was good in battle what about the other 139? (and yes I did check how many shrines (including DLC) there are and added the 7 from the the trial of the sword and then added Maz Koshia then subtracted the number by 1) Well we see from Maz Koshia these guys are incredibly powerful, so much so that if you don't know how to use a sword you would still be very powerful with the powers alone. And if Zeltik NintendoBlackCrisis or any other channel wants to talk about this theory go right ahead.


 * Sorry, but this talk page is for discussing the Monk article, and not for theories. If you wish, you can post this theory on Zelda Universe or a different Zelda forum. 02:04, 29 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Oh sorry I didn't know. But I need help, how do I post? I've gone to the correct part but I don't know how to get to typing. Please tell me how.


 * You'll have to look around on the website. If you need help, they should have articles to help you there. 14:23, 29 November 2020 (UTC)


 * I have but haven't found how.


 * I'm sorry but I can't help you with that. I don't use Zelda forums often so I don't have much experience. Now, I'm going to ask if we can please end this discussion as it isn't wiki related. And finally, remember to sign your talk page posts with .  16:46, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Understand the name origins by referring to Japanese names
There are already name origins of some monks. While some are obvious (e.g. Oman Au <-- Aonuma ), others seem very confusing. Take the other three shrines on the Great Plateau as an example. How can the origin of Ja Baij be Fujibayashi ? While Owa Daim and I wamo to Dai ki share letters in common, the syllables are very different. And what can be the origin of Keh Namut?

However, if you refer to the monks' Japanese names, everything seems much clearer:


 * Oman Au -- Ma Ōnu -- Eiji Aonuma
 * Ja Baij -- Ja Bashifu -- Hidemaro Fujibayashi
 * Owa Daim -- Wa Modai -- I wamo to Dai ki
 * Keh Namut -- Toumi Nke -- Tomi naga Ken taro

Using this method, I have already found origins of a few more names:
 * Daka Tuss -- Data Kusu -- Taku ro Ya suda
 * Hila Rao -- Hiro Hira -- Hiro ki Hira no
 * Katah Chuki -- Kata Chuki -- Toyoki Kata oka
 * Keh Namut -- Toumi Nke -- Tomi naga Ken taro
 * Owa Daim -- Wa Modai -- I wamo to Dai ki

The list could go on if I referred to Japanese names of each and every shrine (I've only checked ~25 names) and if I were more familiar with the Japanese language.

Therefore, to understand the name origins better, one should refer to the Japanese names of the shrines.
