Talk:Eastern Temple

Merge with Eastern Palace?
Now, I'm not clear on the wiki policy when it comes to dungeons, but with enemies, if they have the same name in Japanese, we usually merge them with the most "up to date" English name, so as to avoid having multiple pages about the same enemy (a good example are Helmasaurs, which are also known as Iron Masks and Hiploops depending on what game you're playing, but their most recent appearance went back to the Helmasaur name). Is there any particular reason this is not the case with dungeons? Its pretty clear that the Eastern Palace and Eastern Temple are meant to be the same dungeon (same for the Desert Temple). After all, the only reason the dungeons were called Palaces in Zelda II and ALttP was because of NoA's policy of avoiding any mention of religion the time, which they gave up pretty soon after.

 * Pretty sure there's no policy for that. It's just no one ever thought about merging the two, that's all. :P
 * Sounds like a good idea to me. The similarities between the two dungeons are pretty obvious. 10:44, 5 January 2012 (EST)

I'd merge the dungeon pages, but not for this reason. We can't make our own assumptions on something just because we dislike the way Nintendo does things. I'm quite tired of "purists" pretending that they know more than the developers just because that makes them feel "cooler" than the rest. -- 20:42, 5 January 2012 (EST)
