Talk:Deku Scrub Trio

Name
Is this title legit or conjectural? Could we get a source? Also, do they really count as a mini boss? I mean they don't even get dramatic music... X) 03:48, 18 July 2010 (UTC)
 * I think it is conjectural (they are called "Triplet of Deku Scrubs" in Japanese). They can be very hard to beat because at this point the player is not necessarily familiar with the game's mechanics and Link has only three hearts. Also a hint is given to defeat them (which would be unusual for a common enemy). Jeangabin 11:50, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Miniboss
I don't believe this should be counted as miniboss. Rather, I think it's just that the Deku Tree does not contain a miniboss, so this is rather just a puzzle for beginning players. 13:25, 18 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I agree with Pakkun. It's a puzzle like any other. Raxit 23:49, 19 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I think that the actual miniboss of the Deku tree is the one Link found earlier in the dungeon. Link is trapped with it, it has to be defeated in order to continue and once Link defeates it grants acces to the dungeon item. Also it doesn't appear again and it's not in any other place.

 * But you find many dekus all over the place anyway, including on the path through the pyramid to the forest temple as an adult, and all over the kokiri forest. Also, it seems a bit weak to be a boss of any kind. Raxit 20:35, 21 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I disagree with you, SilverArcher. For one, we've used the standard that minibosses use a special theme to indicate their status. I also highly doubt they would throw a "miniboss" in on a beginning player so early. Honestly, the Deku Scrub works just like a regular enemy. Link becomes trapped multiple times in rooms with enemies, and these are unofficially referred to as "kill rooms" where the player needs to kill all the enemies to advance. One room in the Fire Temple comes to mind that contains Torch Slugs and Fire Keese. I would hardly consider that a miniboss. 20:32, 21 March 2013 (UTC)
