Four Swords artwork
So I'd like to do some Image Alteration work on those images you've recently uploaded. I noticed that some of them, like the Bow for instance, have faint outlines in the black part, which is a good thing for making edits. However they are partially cut off by the image cropping, and other images that don't seem to have outlines may have had their contrast bumped up, effectively hiding the outlines. My questions are: Do you know if these images were scans from Art & Artifacts, and if so, is it possible to obtain copies with less cropping and contrast?

 * The black outlines seem to be thicker than the ones in the game's manual, so I'm not sure if they were meant to be like that. Also, the Bow artwork, for example, is also missing part of the inner outline for whatever reason. I can send you the full, uncropped page through the Discord if you wish. 03:35, 19 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I've just edited a few of them to test vectorizing the black outlines. I made them slightly thinner but found that once the images are shrunken to the size seen in the game's manual, the outlines look basically the same! If there are no issues with this, then I'll go ahead and work on the rest. Htwretched (talk) 17:26, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * They look good to me. For the Bomb artwork, did you use the art from the A&A page? Because a new version from Encyclopedia was uploaded, so, if it was reverted back to A&A, the source needs to be updated accordingly. 17:46, 22 January 2019 (UTC)
 * I've contacted AzelleAx about that. Thanks for pointing it out. Htwretched (talk) 02:27, 23 January 2019 (UTC)

Martha's name questionable
So I'd like to discuss and suggest that "Martha" being the Mermaid's name is incorrect. Just because one piece of official Nintendo merchandise refers to her as "Martha", doesn't mean that's her official name. The Zelda Encyclopedia released by Dark Horse never refers to her as Martha. Not in the character page for LA, nor in the item descriptions for the Necklace or the Scale items involved in her part of the trading quest. It only says "the mermaid" or just "mermaid". The old guide book released for Link's Awakening also refers to her only as "mermaid" as well. The easter egg section of the Piggyback BotW guide referring to Martha's Landing, "Martha is a mermaid encountered in Link's Awakening", just doesn't seem right. The Japanese name of Martha's Landing is just "Martha's Bay", a direct reference to the location from LA and not the supposed name of the Mermaid. I think this is simply a case of the author trying to find a connection, and looking up something like, "Martha Zelda" on Google and coming across all the wikis with her name labelled as Martha. This has already happened with the Super Mario Encyclopedia, where the author used a made-up fan name for an enemy that came from the Mario Wiki. I'd even like to suggest renaming her character page to just, "Mermaid". There is literally no official material other than the BotW guide that calls her Martha. I think my trivia contribution she be put back the way it was as well. I strongly believe that everyone has assumed her name has been Martha all these years just because of the location she is in. There's not even official confirmation that the translation "Martha's Bay" is correct. "マーサ" could even mean "Mercer".


 * There's no need to have the same discussion in two differente places, so I've answered you in Martha's talk page. 04:49, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
