Help Guide

Here, users can nominate and vote for Zelda Wiki's next featured article. Any article worthy of being featured exemplifies the Wiki's quality standards, and goes above and beyond what is expected in a normal encyclopedia entry. Featured articles should:

1. Have exceptionally fluid American English grammar and spelling.
2. Be lengthy, yet detailed.
3. Be well organized (as in subdivisions).
4. Cite sources, and cite them properly.
5. Be properly categorized.
6. Contain the most up-to-date information possible.
7. Have no template requesting improvement, merging, deletion, or any template that may in some way state the article is not of excellent quality. In this respect, there should be no duplicate of the nominated article, nor should the article be a duplicate of another page.
8. NOT be copied from Wikipedia, or from any site that does not run the Wiki, under any circumstances!

For help on the correct format used to add nominations or votes, see the Featured Content Help.

Currently Nominated

Moblin

Now that this article has had an extensive rewrite, I'd say it's of a standard worthy of being featured. --Adam 14:19, 16 October 2007 (EDT)

• It's a good article, but the Minish Cap section is too bare-bones for me to vote for it. --Hisak 20:04, 16 October 2007 (EDT)
• I think this simple monster, not one that has a lot to write about, but basics. That article only has this kind of things. Also, the Great Moblin is a boss and it should have its own page. --ZS09

OK, well I nominated it based on Jason's comments on the talk page; since the revision he was talking about, it seems to have had all the necessary improvements. I agree that the Minish Cap section needs more than just the quotes, I'll see what I can do. But I'm not sure if the Great Moblin should be given it's own page as a boss (bearing in mind I haven't played the Oracle games, but from the text in the article it seems he doesn't fight Link like a regular boss). --Adam 02:36, 17 October 2007 (EDT)

1. Less discombobulated than "Dark Link". SeanMD80 21:17, 18 October 2007 (EDT)
2. I agree with Sean I guess I'll vote for this one.--Green 01:41, 19 October 2007 (EDT)
3. This one has been nominated for a long time, and now that I've taken the time to read it, I've seen that it really is a very good article. Seraphim 9:05, 19 December 2007 (EDT)
4. Moblins have been around for a while and it's a pretty good article. It was hard to decide between this one and Dodongo though.--Icytriforc 18:04, 16 January 2008 (EST)
5. Moblins are one of gannons oldest henchmen.-- master peahat 10:22
6. This has been here for ages and deservers to be fetured--Zanramon 16:22, 13 February 2008 (EST)
7. This thing has to go so the only way is to get it featured--Stripe 12:15 PM 16 February 2008 (EST)

The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass

This would be an informing and new article for newcomers. --Eponasowner 19:18, 30 November 2007 (EST)

1. It's the newest Zelda game so I think people should know about it. --Bigrageous 15:35, 22 December 2007 (EST)

Majora's Mask (Boss)

The Mask not the game. This is an awesome boss and should be featured--Stripe 6:37 13 February 2008 (EST)

1. I agree with Stripe. The second part of the boss was my favorite. --ShadowLink45
2. Yeah, I'd say now I've merged Majora into the article, and with a few other minor fixes it now meets all the criteria for being featured. Good article, and a good boss! --—Adam ^(talk) 12:19, 16 February 2008 (EST)
3. I agree. Majora wasn't exactly the most challenging final boss, but the article is good. Adzma 05:49, 17 February 2008 (EST)

Gohma

Has been in the zelda series from the beginning so yeah--Lom678 6:54 16 February 2008 (EST)
