Boss strategies

This page should indeed include some description of each time Ganon has shown up in the series, but I think that a) he should get a proper boss strategy for each time in the series he's fought, just like other bosses, and b) these shouldn't clutter up the main article. I propose the creation of either short separate articles for at least some of Ganon's boss fights, or possibly one "Ganon/Strategies" companion article that goes through them all. He's a recurring boss, so this is information we should have somewhere, and a number of his appearances on this page have only a token mention of how they work as far as the actual fighting is concerned. There's no description of how the Oracle Series Ganon fight works, for instance. Does either of these proposals sound good? --Osteoderm Jacket 06:41, 25 July 2012 (EDT)

I like the one where we separate the Boss Fight information from the rest of it, if we're talking about splitting the article. Making a lot of separate articles doesn't seem necessary. --Xizor 08:07, 25 July 2012 (EDT)

I agree, putting all of the strategies on a separate subpage (Ganon/Strategies [Strategy?]) sounds good to me! That way, all of his biography stuff will be in the main page, and the boss stuff somewhere else. Nice suggestion! --Dany36 11:54, 25 July 2012 (EDT)

Not a bad idea, yeah. I think mention of his abilities and general behavior can still remain on this page, of course. But in-depth information about each fight probably isn't really suitable for an already gigantic page.User:Fizzle/sig 17:54, 25 July 2012 (EDT)

Yeah, that's reasonable. By all means let's still talk about his abilities in general on this page (teleporting, transformation, fireballs and other magical projectiles, nigh invulnerability). I just think that since we go into detail about how to fight other bosses, we should have a page like that for Ganon. And yes, I was leaning more toward the "strategies" subpage idea myself. --Osteoderm Jacket 18:22, 25 July 2012 (EDT)

Partner comments.

Considering Ganon(dorf) is an enemy, he should have the same "Navi's Comments" window on the page somewhere, like the Keese article. Anyone agree? Dekler 22:48, 2 March 2013 (UTC)

Japanese Names

I was doing some research on this but.. since I don't know Japanese I'd like your help with this one: の盗賊王 - king of thieves, which appears in OoT. How do you romanize this? It would be nice if we included all the titles that has been given in the games. Zeldafan1982 13:18, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

I think it would be Dōzoku-nō. --SnorlaxMonster 15:04, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

You're missing the entire quote, it's ゲルドの盗賊王, Gerudo no Tōzoku-ō, basically "King of the Gerudo Thieves" (as in the English text) or "Thief King of the Gerudo". User:Fizzle/sig 16:33, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for the romanization. I omitted "Gerudo" because I saw a quote translated as "Gerudo King of Thieves" by jacensolo06 and NOA and thought that it was redundant (since we know that he is a Gerudo) but I guess it can be considered part of its title. I checked again, and there are three instances of ゲルドの盗賊王 in OoT, all translated like that. There is one instance where he is called "King of the Gerudo Thieves" by "Aveil" (her OoT counterpart).

Four Sword Adventures

Since the Four Swords Adventures Ganon is a different Ganon (and the only different Ganon), shouldn't he have a separate article? Currently there isn't enough info about FSA Ganon to justify a split, and having not played the game I can't help, but I think it would be a good idea to expand the section and split the separate characters. --SnorlaxMonster 10:06, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

It's just like Link and Zelda, it always features a different incarnation. You only have to add more info about his reincarnation, also more about his actions before facing the hero.--Prince Ludwig 10:10, 2 April 2013 (UTC)
