Talk:Eldin (Region)

"Not to be confused with the Eldin Province from Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword, or the Eldin Tower Region from Breath of the Wild."
Okay but why, tho, it's clearly the same concept. By all rights they should be covered on this page. 17:44, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * From what I can gather,  from  and from SS - are confirmed to be the same via, whereas   from  isn't – so it's considered a separate Term (until some new book comes out and explicitly links them all together). I believe the   is also technically separate – I think it has different borders or something, although I'm not 100% sure on that one.
 * To clarify the difference between Regions and Tower Regions:  is the area mapped by the Eldin Tower-so it covers land all the way to the border of the map, including that canyon dividing Hyrule from the rest of the continent. , on the other hand, ends at that cliff edge, and is (in-universe) based on geography. All of the Tower Regions have large or subtle differences from their respective Region, and some don’t have such a counterpart at all.      19:39, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
 * As far as Regions and Tower Regions go, that doesn't really sound like a helpful distinction to readers, to me. For example, I'm not exactly new to Zelda and I wouldn't have thought to look on a separate page for that specific wording, I would have just expected both versions of the region to be on the same page. At best, I'd expect the main article covering them to have split sections in the coverage below -- esp. in BotW, these things are intrinsically linked plot-wise, with many references and details that wouldn't be as clear if they are separated.
 * As far as TP/SS vs. BotW, it's the region around Death Mountain named Eldin, referencing the golden goddess Din. There's very clearly an intent that is obscured from the reader by separating these. It's especially confusing when policy is against something like this, but allows stuff like Fire Temple, which is three completely unconnected entities whose only link is a broad theme and a generic name. 16:06, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, I agree with your point about the Fire Temple - we've had longstanding discussions (which have stalled several times) about how to handle aspects of the series with identical names, and right now we're pretty inconsistent. For example, the Fire Temple article has information about all the various s in the series, but we split Candy into two articles based on two different characters (TWW and TMC).


 * But for the purposes of this, I think the difference is that the term itself is, whereas in TP and SS, the term is  . If BotW used   as a term, it would all probably go on the same page. That being said, of course, I'm honestly not sure if this would be a case of using   as a leading sentence for a unified article or not. I'll make sure this is brought up again on our Discord server – if you're not a part of it yet, I'd highly encourage you to join. Sometimes it's a lot easier to communicate on issues like this in real-time.  16:36, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
 * Not every Region has a Tower Region equivalent, and vice versa. Keeping them entirely separate is, in my opinion, the more clear and consistent way to cover it. Situations like Tower Regions and the  are certainly worth discussing, though, and I’d like to second Ceiling Master’s Discord proposal so your points aren’t hindered by response time.      18:52, 29 March 2022 (UTC)
