Talk:Medallion: Difference between revisions

Looking for a screenshot of the quest status screen with all six medallions to use as the article's main image. [[User:IfIHaveTo|IfIHaveTo]] 11:35, 25 December 2007 (EST)

There are probably more possibilities, but these are the only ones that I can remember.--[[User:Matt|Matt]] 01:16, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

So that is ten different places for those temples. In each of those, there are six possible ways to arrange the other three temples. So, six times ten equals sixty. That means that are sixty different ways to finish the five temples. Given this, perhaps we should only list the default way, the path suggested by Navi, on this article. Agreed?{{:User:Matt/sig|~}} <span style="color:#C0C0C0;">20:23, July 13, 2008 (UTC)</span>

:Sorry I didn't get around to this sooner, but yes. I'll also mention at the bottom that it's possible to get them out of order. {{:User:Ando/sig}} 13:31, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

::On the game itself, although the Shadow Temple is technically the fifth temple, according to Navi, the Shadow Medallion itself occupies the sixth slot. Thoughts? [[User:Yuvorias|Felicia's Champion]], 00:12, 17 July 2008 (EST)

Now that you mention it, yeah, I remember looking at that and thinking "wait wtf???" I'm not quite sure what to make of it. The Chamber of Sages is oriented the same way. So we go with Navi or the interface? {{:User:Ando/sig}} 14:38, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

:My opinion would have to be interface. --[[User:Yuvorias|Felicia's Champion]] 13:41, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

::I can see why some might think that the interface way would by official way. But the Spirit Temple, as Adult Link, is slightly harder without first getting the Hover Boots. As Adult Link , in the room with the rolling rock, you normally need the Hover Boots to get the last Silver Rupee to unlock the door. To get it without the Hover Boots, you have to do a rolling jump off the ledge and let yourself get hit by the rock. It will then knock you into the Silver Rupee. it is quite a hard to do and could take many tries. Given how you have to finish the Spirit Temple if you don't get the Hover Boots first, we should stick with the Navi-suggested path. We can also say right in the Shadow and Spirit parts that it is possible to complete the levels in the interface way. But stating that in another sentence from the one that says what number it is. So thats, one sentence to say the Navi order. And another to say the interface order if it differs. Also, should organize the medallion sections by the Navi order instead of alphabetically?{{:User:Matt/sig|~}} <span style="color:#C0C0C0;">15:21, July 17, 2008 (UTC)</span>

Okay, the [[Spirit Temple]] cant be accessed before completing the [[forest Temple]], in order to get the [[Lens of Truth]], and before half of the [[Water Temple]], in order to get the [[Longshot]]. Also, the [[Shadow Temple]] can't be accessed unless the forest, fire, and water temples are completed. And so it's possible to get the fire medallion last.

In the part of this article that talks about Saria's part in Ganon's Castle originally being wind-themed, that site it references is now defunct. However, I still looked through the site using the <span class="plainlinks">[http://web.archive.org/ Internet Archive Wayback Machine]</span> to browse the site. A list of archived versions of the site can be found <span class="plainlinks">[http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://krahs-emag.com here]</span>. I looked through and could not find any reference to this wind-theme Saria section of Ganon's Tower. For now, I removed the reference and added a citation needed tag. Thoughts anyone?{{:User:Matt/sig|~}} <span style="color:#C0C0C0;">20:23, July 13, 2008 (UTC)</span>

:Not just "originally", but "currently".  Saria's section of Ganon's Tower is a jumping puzzle with fans, similar to sections of the Shadow Temple.  You need to use the hover boots and hookshot to collect a series of floating rupees without falling off the columns to unbar the door.  There's wind all over the place.<br>  --[[User:Rootbeer277|Rootbeer277]] 21:22, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

:Likewise, Ruto's section of Ganon's Tower is ice rather than water-themed.  You have to defeat two Freezards, melt some red ice, and solve a sliding ice-block puzzle.<br>  --[[User:Rootbeer277|Rootbeer277]] 23:43, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

well, that is true, I mean you just save them all just to make a bridge to ganon's castle... [[User:RupeeLord|RupeeLord]] 19:15, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

My got picture got replaced, these new ones are better, the quality is much higher than the last, though.{{:User:Steven/sig}} 20:24, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

:They need to be PNG though. PNG will have better transparency and a smaller filesize for the same quality.{{:User:Matt/sig|~}} 20:53, January 5, 2009 (UTC)<br><small>Steve, make sure your preferences, and your sig2 page, both point to the right thing.</small>

:: Oh I though he just re-uploaded them on mine (which is what should've been done). I think there's a problem with ImageMagick when scaling .png files, they seem to appear blurry when scaled down.{{:User:Steven/sig}} 20:58, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

::: Just trying to rid the unsourced images, slowly but surely. If those were your images Steve, then ya just forgot to source them. [[User:Mases|Mases]] 21:35, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

This is really kinda pointless but thought I'd mention it anyway.  I noticed it for a split second or so when the medallions are falling to Link.  They have a Triforce emblem on one side of them.  Just found that kind of interesting.  Doesn't have to necessarily mean anything, but for some reason, I figured they'd be the same on both sides...I just found it kinda intriguing, that's all. [[User:Ragnarok|Ragnarok]] 08:15, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

:I agree. The only issue is the exact title of the Medallions from A Link to the Past. While they're listed as Magic Medallions here, I'm not sure if that's an official title or not. They may also simply be known as Medallions in the game and manual, just like these. They're usually just referred to by Quake, Ether or Bombos too. I will check if there's an official term for all three. Of course, it probably wouldn't hurt to have a page covering both, but... {{:User:Fizzle/sig}} 05:36, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

:::Well in that case, I think it would make most sense to leave the "Magic Medallion" page as it is. As for this page, I think we should move it to "Medallion", because that's the only title they're ever given in-game. {{:User:Dannyboy601/sig}} 12:25, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

::::Guess there's not much to say. No evidence points towards "Sage's Medallion," so standards decree that we rename the page to "Medallion".{{:User:Justin/sig}} 16:53, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
