Phi
Where does it said the Skyward Sword's name is Phi? --Cococrash11 23:50, 8 June 2011 (EDT)
 * Mentioned by Miya in roundtable with IGN. The name may not correspond to the North American version, though, hence why this is currently a redirect to another page.-- 01:41, 9 June 2011 (EDT)
 * Seems like Dany36 lied XD. My bad, I hadn't even seen the article yet. Self-reminder: never trust Skype. -- 01:43, 9 June 2011 (EDT)

Phi's POSSIBLE Name Origins.

 * It is in possible origin, it's name is based from the Greek letter, Phi, Φ, also having some of the terms I have learned and saw on information websites, being; In cartography and navigation, latitude, or; in flight dynamics. It's name also currently fits in with the word, Philosophy, which is also another meaning of the letter. It is also possible with the word: Physical, with a sacred power, that she does in fact have, and she also has a semi physical form, and will have in the future in the game possibly. Do you guys agree on this possible speculation on her name origins or not? Go ahead and comment if you wish. Half of this is credited to K2L for finding half of the information and possible origin on Phi. ~ Hylian Historic ~ 04:45, 9 June 2011 (EDT)


 * I think the reference to philosophy is a solid hypothesis, but I don't know about the cartography. Phi is used in general physics as a variable to represent angles (x is to distance as phi is to angle) it's used to determine anything from angular velocity and trig functions all the way to engineering applications like the propensity for inertial cavitation on a rotor or a pump (a particularly annoying problem for SSB's and their families in the Navy) "Fortunis" -16:59 (UST-6) 20121117

Name Pronunciation.
I think the pronunciation of Phi should be added, because some people will think it's pronounced "fee" when it is pronounced "fai."MadMags 13:53, 9 June 2011 (EDT)


 * This is a good idea. Can we confirm that Phi is indeed pronounced "fai" and not "fee", though? 19:03, 10 June 2011 (EDT)


 * I might argue that is is pronounced "fee". My support is that if it is, in fact, meant to be the representation of the note. It would then be pronounced 'fee'. Also when English mechanics are introduced, the absence of the e at the end of the word denied the vowel the long sound or the 'ai' so it would be fee or fi (as is fish without the sh).

 * I don't have it on hand, but it was pronunced as "Fai" in an interview with the localization team. Additionally, it's pronounced like that in Japanese, so "Fai" is canon. 21:05, 18 November 2012 (UTC)

Fi's comment?
Fi can tell about enemies like Navi and Tatl. Should we add "Fi's Comment"? Technickal 16:42, 17 November 2011 (EST)
