Yes, it's correct that the articles should be in present tense. But don't be too hasty. A lot of what you've been changing because you thought it was future tense, wasn't actually future tense. For example, the sentence ''He <u>will</u> start to lose his balance and then get knocked off the pillar by his own boomerang when it comes back.'' This "will" here is the third-person singular simple present '''will'''. Meaning it is in present tense. So were many others you changed. {{:User:Matt/sig|~}} 20:44, June 2, 2010 (UTC) | Yes, it's correct that the articles should be in present tense. But don't be too hasty.

:Oh, I see. The problem is that, in some articles, the verbs are used in any time tense. For example, in the Wizzrobe and Darknut articles, as well as numeros articles about the ''Zelda II'' bosses, all verbs were in past tense, hence why I was fixing them. But thanks for the advice. --[[User:K2L|K2L]] 21:00, 2 June 2010 (UTC) | :Oh, I see. The problem is that, in some articles, the verbs are used in any time tense.

::Yeah. All that Past tense, then future tense, and then present, and then back to past kind of stuff all in one article bugs me too. It's good to clean it up.{{:User:Matt/sig|~}} 21:03, June 2, 2010 (UTC) | |||
