Talk:Characters in A Link Between Worlds

"Shannon" the Ganon girl.
There's a piece of concept art released the second of October featuring a picture of what appears to be a female Ganondorf. There's no article or information about her yet, but around the Zelda Universe forums she's referred to as "Shannon". Could we make a speculative article about her?

 * Well, as you said, it would be a speculative article. There's nothing canon to base it on, so I would say it's not even worth a page. I think it's just better for that sort of thing to simmer with the fandom.
 * Even if there were any information, I would say that placing the speculative stuff on it would be a bad idea. Very little of the page would be factual information, muddled down with almost certainly incorrect information. (Incidentally, I don't think the gender's even confirmed.) 15:46, 11 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Agreed, it's not long til the game comes out or we find out the character's name on a website, so lets be patient. There's not much to say about any of these characters yet that isn't just speculation. And yes, the gender of the character is questionable, it looks more like a Ghirahim-ish wizard guy to me, since Aonuma seems to be fond of that. Probably just a nasty wizard demon trying to resurrect Ganon, or an Agahnim style alter-ego, but we can't know for sure. 18:17, 11 October 2013 (UTC)


 * And as soon as I say that, we find out a ton of new information about him. His (or her) name is Yuga according to an IGN editor who was at an event today, and he can turn people into paintings, as seen in the new trailer also released today. 19:28, 11 October 2013 (UTC)

Ganon
There has been some debate as to whether Ganon should be listed as a main character or a secondary one.

In the interest of preventing further edit warring, we need to have a proper discussion about this and decide as a group where Ganon is to be placed. I haven't played ALBW, but please weigh in if you have.

So what are your thoughts? 01:40, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm reluctant to even call Ganon a secondary character (though it would seem extremely odd to list him other "other"). Ganon's role in the game is very small. He's revived simply so that Yuga can take the Triforce of Power he possesses, and then Yuga takes on a Ganon-like form. The actual character we call Ganon only appears in the game for a moment. I do not think it is appropriate to label Ganon as a "main character." --Joshua (Yumil) (talk) 04:32, 27 November 2013 (UTC)
