Names

Uh... why are these all called labyrinths? Is this some fan fabrication? Where's the source for that? All I could find in the official guides was the names, Level 1: Eagle, Level 2: Moon, Level 3: Manji, etc. No "labyrinth" name tagged onto it.

After a google search, the "Labyrinth" subtitle seems to be used in walkthroughs and similar fan articles. So the name may be conjectural, but at least is well-known. Also, calling them "X Dungeon" each helps little, since the levels aren't named in-game anyway (only numbered), and the manual only names them through the shapes. Worst case scenario, we would be forced to name the dungeons as simply "Eagle", "Moon", "Manji", etc., which would lead to the messy task of creating disambiguation pages (we already have, for example, an article about a Moon). Finally, if a renaming is inevitable, then this article is going to suffer a heavy removal of information. --K2L (Interrogatory) 11:27, 22 September 2010 (EDT)
