Japanese Guides
Hey, would you happen to have the LA Shogakukan guide? Or the OOA/OOS guides, for that matter? I thought I remembered you saying that you had at least one of them. If so, I have a little favor to ask. Can you please check how the guide names the dungeons, if they use kanji? They don't in-game. I've been discussing with Osteoderm about the use of kanji in the Japanese titles, which wouldn't be accurate unless Nintendo uses them as well. To verify that, we need access to the Japanese guides, which is where you come in :P 17:33, 21 February 2012 (EST)
 * Unfortunately I do not have the Shogakukan guide and have been looking for it FOREVER (scans, rather). I have scans of two others I grabbed from Zelda Dungeon, let me check them for you. I believe they will, in-game doesn't use kanji like at all, at least for the map. I'm not sure if kanji is readable on a Game Boy. Lets see...
 * Tail Cave in the Futashiba guide uses a mixture of katakana and hiragana. Bottle Grotto uses kanji. Key Cavern uses some as well. Angler's Cave uses a bit. Actually, they all do except for Tail Cave, I think, and possibly not Catfish's Maw by the looks of it. Let me check the Keibunsha guide... looks like it uses LESS kanji, some are just using hiragana where the other guide doesn't, but it does still use kanji with the same names for others. I would very much assume the Shogakukan guide would use kanji too. That is how it is with the ALttP guide.
 * I don't actually have access to scans of the whole Oracle guides, I only found segments on Zelda Europe, oddly. I am not sure why all of it isn't there. A quick check of what IS there though shows that it uses kanji too, however. I hope that helps some! Sorry I don't have exactly what you're looking for. If you ever find either I'd be grateful. Basically though I don't think the games use kanji in-game because it is too hard to read, but kanji would presumably be used in guides and other material. 20:42, 21 February 2012 (EST)
 * I'd just like to say that I really, really appreciate this. --Osteoderm Jacket 20:54, 21 February 2012 (EST)
 * No problem. I found the guides on Zelda Dungeon, if you're curious, I believe they're still there, I saved them anyway though. 12:11, 22 February 2012 (EST)


 * Yeah, what Osteoderm said. I'll keep looking for the OoX guides because I think those are the ones we need the most right now... By the way, Fizzle, your talk page is starting to get pretty long. You should consider archiving it soon. If you need help with that, just let me know. 16:31, 22 February 2012 (EST)
 * Out of curiosity, what Japanese (and for that matter, English) guides do we have access to in some fashion? I have quite a long list of my own when it comes to English ones but I thought I'd better ask you guys what you actually have (either to hand in print form or available as scans). 18:03, 25 February 2012 (EST)
 * I myself have digital copies of all the official English guides (including some non-official Prima guides) except FS, FSA, SS, and parts of PH. 20:31, 25 February 2012 (EST)
 * No Japanese guides? I have a scanned copy of the FSA guide (in bad quality, but its there) and Prima PH guide (also bad quality) and also the GBA release of ALttP, which includes some FS stuff (no enemy names however). If you ever need information from them, I can help. 12:31, 26 February 2012 (EST)
 * Figured there's not much worth me spending time to find guides I wouldn't understand anyway :P
 * Thanks for the offer. I might take you up on that sometime. 18:27, 26 February 2012 (EST)

Castle Dungeon
Actually Castle Dungeon isn't an alternative name of the Sewer Passageway, but instead refers to the section of Hyrule Castle in which Zelda is held captive, as stated by her in game when she telepatically tells Link in the beginning of the game that she is in the Castle Dungeon and needs to be rescued. Could a new article be needed? SkullJ 11:35, 25 March 2012 (EDT)
