User talk:KrytenKoro

Sorry about having to revert your edit to Jabu-Jabu. The resemblance between Jabu-Jabu and the Wind Fish has been noted since even before Oshus was created, and just because in your opinion he looks closer to the new character does not mean the resemblance isn't there. No hard feelings? Dinosaur bob 17:01, 7 November 2007 (EST)

Maybe we could put the rumor instead in a Trivia section, as it IS such a well-known speculation, and present your evidence refuting it? And also, not yelling at you, but you responded on my userpage, not my talk page. Little nitpick. I'll edit over your responses for you, but just a note for the future. And glad there're no hard feelings. ;) Dinosaur bob 17:20, 7 November 2007 (EST)

Thanks for your input on the Golden Goddesses page. I'm trying to make it a more complete article, but no one else seems interested. Feel free to add info and references. I'm trying to cite a lot of the info on the page, so help is appreciated. --Farewell to Gibdos 23:13, 19 January 2008 (EST)

Connections between the Golden Goddesses and the Elements.
The connection between Nayru, water, and the Zoras is been made several times, aside from the simple color similarity. One of the primary examples of this is Nayru's Pearl, held by Jabun, the water spirit, has the image of Zora's Sapphire, the spiritual stone of water, engraved in it. There may be some uncertainty, but the connection there is undeniable.

Kaepora Gaebora is indeed a raptor, but he is never directly associated with the virtue of wisdom, either. The Rito, however, are associated with Din: they hold the Din's pearl, and so is Eldin, the light spirit named for her. The Gorons are also associated with Din, they are fire and earth elementals, and they hold the Spiritual Stone of Fire, another connection to the Goddess Din.

Farore is associated with forests; Farore's pearl lay with the Deku tree, in the Deku forest, and the Kokiri's Emerald as well. There are many connections between the Goddesses and their respective elements and peoples, and I will do my best to cite them within the article.--Farewell to Gibdos 17:39, 22 January 2008 (EST)

bloat

Removing content
Hey, there. I noticed your edit to the Shadow Prince page, and I was wondering why you removed the content without offering any explanation. I reverted your edit, but if you had a valid reason for removing the information, feel free to revert my revert and explain why. It's perfectly okay to remove stuff for a good reason, but if you leave edit summaries explaining this, it helps people like me to know that you aren't just blanking by mistake or whatever, okay? :) 07:26, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

Nakku, Degu, and Nuranuru
Hi KrytenKoro!! You seem to be Japanese, aren't you? I've got some questions about Japanese names: Jeangabin 14:22, 7 July 2010 (UTC)
 * What is the Darknut japanese name: タートナック (Taato Nakku) or ダークナト (Dākunato)?? What does クナト and ナック means exactly in japanese? Is it Nut and Knuckle, or is it rather words derived from Knight?! Also a search on google gives more results related w/ darknut by using タートナック (Dāku Nakku) than ダークナト (Dāku Nato)
 * I've noted that degu ("デグ") is often used in the name of bosses or mini-bosses in Japanese (for example: King Bubble, Armos Knight, Moldorm in A Link to the Past, Manhandla in Four Swords, Hot Head, Slime Eyes, and Deku Toad). What does it mean?
 * I've seen here that Sluggula's name is "Nuranur" in italian and "Naranul" in spanish. Is Sluggula's japanese name Nuranuru?


 * I'm not actually Japanese, but I'll take a crack at it.


 * タートナック (Taato Nakku) could be short for "Turtle-Knuckle" or "Tart-Knuckle". It seems like a nonsense name.
 * As far as I can tell, "Degu" is a made up adjective that basically means "Big". It doesn't seem to have any basis in Japanese.
 * It's "ヌラヌール" (Nuranuuru). You can get the rest here.KrytenKoro 11:21, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah! Thank you very much ;) I've recently found that google can translate Japanese website!! Jeangabin 17:43, 8 July 2010 (UTC)

Using numerals
Hello KrytenKoro. Thank you for you recent edits. In regards to the conflict on the Medal page, I've done a little digging and discovered a few things.

First of all, according to this article, rule number 3 indicates that experts do not agree on whether one should use numerals for numbers greater than nine. The first rule for writing numbers as indicated by the Grammar Book, which I cited earlier, is: "Spell out single-digit whole numbers. Use numerals for numbers greater than nine." The Chicago Manual of Style, which you cited, does use as a general rule the "zero through one hundred rule," though the very next link indicates that zero through nine is an acceptable alternative rule.

So basically it comes down to Zelda Wiki's Manual of Style (as this subject is indisputably stylistic, and not grammatical), and unfortunately, this topic is not addressed.

When these types of disagreements arise, where there is no "right answer," generally the best thing to do is gracefully acquiesce rather than create issues over something that can't be settled using facts alone. In this spirit, I'm obviously willing to let the matter drop, cuz it's not terribly important anyway. But in the future, you might find it beneficial to do a little more digging yourself and draw these sorts of conclusions when contradictory evidence is presented, rather than insist that your initial inclination was correct and enter into (what could potentially become) an edit war. Just a friendly reminder from someone who has been there herself! :)

Happy editing. 15:59, 13 December 2011 (EST)


 * Hi again! I didn't mean to insinuate that what you did was wrong necessarily, not at all. Sorry if I came across that way. :( But in what I've observed, a situation will usually turn into something like: "Edit." "Undo edit, quote source." "Undo edit back, quote contradicting source." "Undo edit again, quote yet another source." And on and on and on. So what I usually do is make an edit, and if someone reverts my edit I'll immediately go into research mode rather than undo their reverting. It was more of sharing my findings and making a suggestion than a reprimand. :)


 * As for my source, it was the website of a published resource. But that's beside the point as we both agree. =) Also, I responded here because typically we try to keep conversations to one talk page. That way if other people run across the conversation they can follow it easily! See you around!! =)  17:03, 13 December 2011 (EST)

Thanks for correcting mine and someone elses mistakened error but the link wasn't necessary.
I saw the link that you have posted and that was very unnecessary, the fact is that people make mistakes from time to time and it is no way necessary to link them to page filled with nonsense. You seem to know Japanese well, I know a bit of it and I'm still learning, besides, part of that post was not mine, I only added to it because part of it was already there in the trivia and it seemed to pertain to that trivia's part. Some translations in Japanese do interchange between the letters L and R, such as "Rinku" into "Link" or another one, "Kābī" into "Kirby". Thank you for the correction though and I have a question, theres a boss in FSA named Dagtail, is it the same thing as Molddorm or Degu Tail? --Vaati The Wind Demon 18:48, 9 January 2012 (EST)

Hyrule Historia
Hello, KrytenKoro! Just dropping in to say, thank you for going around the wiki and updating it with the information found in Hyrule Historia... Between that book and some SS pages still not done, the wiki is bursting with activity (which is always good :D)! I haven't been keeping up with the translated contents of that book, so I'm a bit useless in that regards. Keep up the great work! Dany36 20:55, 10 January 2012 (EST)
