Talk:Shield

I've finally made it through the Shield article from the beginning to the end of the series. It's organized by game to function to shield. It took a while, and I plan on keeping it this way, unless someone can find a better arrangement for it. I asked ZW members who weren't overenthusiastic about the fate of the article, so I decided on the organization of the article on my own. Let's face it, though. It's much better than it was. It has references and the name of every single shield that has a name.

Now I plan on getting together a gallery and a list of enemies that can be defeated especially with the use of the shield, as well a list of enemies that use shields. List like these are a new thing I've been working on for the Bomb article and soon other articles, so if anyone would like to throw suggestions out there, be my guest. Thanks for any helped granted.Noble Wrot 07:05, 14 November 2009 (UTC)

So far: Weak against:
 * Deku Scrub
 * Octorok
 * Poe (TWW)
 * Purple ChuChu
 * Spiked Beetle
 * Toadpoli
 * Twinrova
 * Wizzrobe (TAOL)

Use:
 * Armos
 * Darknut
 * Soldier
 * Stalfos

Article Reorganization
Noble Wrot's cleanup of the page was much needed (looks great compared to its past!). Perhaps a more "shield-directed" article will be more effective than a "game-directed article. Some thing like this: have "recurring" or "common shields" as one of the subsections, then describe the Mirror Shield, "Wooden" Shield, and the Hylian Shield, and their subtypes and denominations within each game - Mirror Shields act and are used similarily in each title, as are Wooden and Hylian Shields. It would centralize topics and cut down on article redundancy. After that, possibly a "non-recurring" shiled subsection where all of the unique shields from the games (not the ones named above) are described. Since this would be such a large edit, I'd like to have more than one opinion. Place comments below. 22:44, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I agree, and I'd like to be the one to rearrange the article. I wanted to focus on the function from section to section, but it was after I wrote most of the article that I told Axiomist it was repetitive. I suppose I can focus on function in one paragraph in the introduction of the article. I wanted the shields split into sections afterward, especially because there are so many stubby shield articles. I thought that, possibly, they could be merged with this one if it met the standards of the Wiki, but that's up for debate. See, the thing with focusing the sections on the different shields is because of those other articles. You will have information here that can be found in numerous places on the Wiki, even though the articles are all related to this one. Still, I'm for it. We'll see what happens.
