:OK, let's assume they're all the same Skull Kid. The fact of the matter is there's still way more to say about his MM appearance than any other appearance, which is why I'm saying his <u>''Majora's Mask''</u> appearance deserves it's own article. If we throw in stuff about the OOT Skull Kid and the TP Skull Kid, we'd just be repeating what was done earlier. | :OK, let's assume they're all the same Skull Kid.

:Regardless of whether they're the same character, the Skull Kid's various appearances are very loosely connected. It would be impossible to tie them all together without a significant amount of theorizing and conjectures (unless Hyrule Historia can shed some light on this). What I'm saying is we should stick to what is easily seen and not over-think this one; keep Skull Kid's appearances apart and make no more connections between them than Nintendo did themselves (which they barely did besides a quick mention at the end of MM). The way I see it, only the MM part has enough potential to stand alone as an article. Otherwise I would have never suggested the split. {{:User:Hylian King/sig}} 22:20, 5 March 2012 (EST) | :Regardless of whether they're the same character, the Skull Kid's various appearances are very loosely connected.

::HK, this is a great idea. The only caveat here is that the article would have to be named "Skull Kid (Majora's Mask)", which leaves the general Skull Kid article to be named... what? I totally agree that this character deserves its own article, but we also must make sure that a clear distinction is made for those who haven't played ''Majora's Mask'' - on the general Skull Kid page, there should be one of those article header disclaimers redirecting those who want info on the MM character. And yikes on the self-similarity between the incarnations of Skull Kids - as far as I've seen, there isn't any tie between any Skull Kid in any game with the one from MM, other than the obvious (same race). Speculation like that would blur the credibility of the split - it would have readers question "Why were the two articles split off if ZW claims that certain incarnations of Skull Kids are the same being?" :) {{:User:Cipriano/sig}} 22:59, 5 March 2012 (EST) | ::HK, this is a great idea.

:::'''Skull Kid (Race)''' and/or '''Skull Kid (Character)'''? Skull Kids are a race. There are multiple Skull Kids in OOT (the one you teach Saria's Song, and the two who play the [[Musical Session]] with you, for example). The Skull Kid of MM is a character (of that race). I don't think we'll have difficulty establishing this. | |||
:::Also, Cip: "as far as I've seen, there isn't any tie between any Skull Kid in any game with the one from MM" -- I don't see any relation to the TP version, but as for the OOT/MM... REFS: "Eh-hee-hee...You have the same smell as the [[Kokiri|fairy kid]] who taught me [[Saria's Song|that song]] in the [[Lost Woods|woods]]..." and the clip at the end which shows the Skull Kid's crude depiction of he and Link standing together, followed by a brief, very clear Saria's Song tune. Also, when Tatl and Tael first scare Link off Epona in the into, he says, "Huh? This guy... ...Well, that shouldn't be a problem," indicating he recognized him. The OOT and MM Skull Kids are, I'm pretty sure, meant to be the same. This is all mostly mentioned in the article as it currently is. Did I misunderstand your comment? {{:User:Embyr 75/sig}} 01:10, 6 March 2012 (EST) | |||
