User talk:Farewell to Gibdos

Hi; just wanted to say thanks for the great job you've done improving The Golden Goddesses recently! You've taken what was basically a stub and made it into a highly descriptive and comprehensive article. One thing I noticed however, is that you have now made 185 individual revisions to the article over the past 7 weeks. Just as a small tip; you could use the "Show Preview" button before saving changes, which allows you to combine multiple smaller edits into one. This makes it much easier for others to follow the progression of the article, and doesn't clog up the recent changes so much. Anyway, keep up the good work ;) --Adam (talk) 05:33, 20 January 2008 (EST)

Thanks, sorry about that.--Farewell to Gibdos 17:17, 22 January 2008 (EST)

Connections
Nayru's Pearl has the symbol of the Tune of Ages on it. This is similar to the shape of the Zora's Sapphire, but different. Jabun is the sea spirit.

Din's Pearl is held by followers of Valoo, the sky spirit. Is Din the Sky Goddess? The Rito may hold Din's Pearl, but they also have the symbol of either stylized Zora or Nayru's Pearl on their clothes. And they are not really raptors. The Owl, sometimes named Kaepora Gaebora, is commonly called "wise" in the games. Also, the Gorons are never associated with Din. They hold the goron's Ruby at one point - but this is not Din's Pearl. It is the Goron's Ruby. Din is mainly the Earth Goddess - fire is just an attribute. In any case, the Gorons are living stones, not firey, so that connection really doesn't work either.

Farore's Pearl is held by Deku Tree, the earth spirit. Is Farore the Earth Goddess? The Kokiri's Emerald is also held with the Deku Tree, and the Kokiri are forest spirits, but there is little to no evidence that the spiritual stones have any connection to the pearls besides being another triad of red/blue/green items needed to get a sword. Look at the Pure Metals in PH - same concept, completely unrelated.

The Pearls have designs from Oracle of Ages. It's mostly aesthetics - for example, what does Din have to do with Currents?

Snakes may have some connection to cunning, but wisdom, not so much. Raptors such as owls are generally associated with wisdom, instead. And herd animals like goats are hardly at all associated with courage. Monkeys, more with curiosity - you might make a connection between curiosity and courage, but it is very specious. The whole thing reads like this has been revealed in the games, by developers, or in real-world culture, but it simply hasn't been.

PS - there's not yet been a Deku Forest. Deku Woods, yes, but that's in Labrynna.

The three spirits of TWW are sea, sky, and earth - like Groudon, Kyogre, and Rayquaza. It's simply a triad, and they're not the only spirits that have held parts of a triad.

I could give you the three great fairies of FS, since they are actually designed like the three oracles - this is kind of specious, but you have the Great Butterfly Fairy (of Flames), the Great Mayfly Fairy (of Ice), and the Great Dragonfly Fairy (of Forest).

That backing might work, but the goddesses have not been confined to any races, and the Spiritual Stones are merely described as the races' treasures - they might have been found or taken by those races, instead of given. The Zora's Sapphire is treated like an engagement ring! And the Gorons see the Goron's Ruby as food!

In fact, the most damning evidence is that they were created to seal the door - meaning that they were created by the sages, long after the Goddesses stopped majorly interfering. There's no connection there. I used to agree with you, and saw the same connections, but looking at the info, there's no connection there.KrytenKoro 23:12, 22 January 2008 (EST)
