Talk:Chain Chomp

Move or split to Chain Chomp?
Given that these are called Chain Chomps in Four Swords, Four Swords Adventures and A Link to the Past, should this page be moved to Chain Chomp, with Bow-Wow as a subsection (as a SPECIFIC Chain Chomp) or just split into two articles? Bow-Wow is pretty iconic, but yeah, they're called Chain Chomps everywhere else (although in Japan the ones in ALttP are called Kerubin, actually), and Four Swords is a newer game and they're specifically called that in game as an item. Yeah, I know, I'm picky with naming. Fizzle


 * According to this picture they're named "BowWow" in Four Swords as well, so I don't know where you're getting that information from. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe their name is only mentioned in-game in A Link to the Past and Four Swords, and both times they're referred to as Bow-Wows. I believe that trumps the official guides, which I assume is your source. 17:22, 1 November 2011 (EDT)


 * Their name is mentioned in the Anniversary Edition as Chain Chomp. Play the Link's Awakening stage for a guaranteed one to check for yourself (at least in the European version? Perhaps the NoA one is different, wouldn't be the first time). Also, they are not named in-game in A Link to the Past at all, but are named in the guide and the little tips booklet that came with the game, called Chain Chomps. FSA guide calls the lone one in the game a Chain Chomp too, I think. Aside from that screenshot I was only aware of them being called Bow-Wow in LA. Fizzle 20:20, 1 November 2011 (EDT)


 * Just an FYI, and I know it won't say much due to how infamous the site is for giving out incorrect information, but the Zelda.com encyclopedia has it listed as a Bow Wow for LA, ALTTP/FS, and FSA. link Dany36 12:07, 2 November 2011 (EDT)


 * Worth noting, the encylopedia isn't THAT bad there, but it probably hasn't been updated since Anniversary Edition came out. Anyone willing to check the US version for me? I have a friend who can check later anyway I expect. Fizzle 13:34, 2 November 2011 (EDT)
 * A check with a friend in America tells me its called Chain Chomp in the Anniversary Edition over there as well, strange that they specifically changed the name, but it seems that Chain Chomp is the up to date name for this as an enemy or item. The one in LA should always be called Bow-Wow though, of course. Thoughts? Fizzle 19:15, 3 November 2011 (EDT)
