Name

The name of this article seems inappropriate and unprofessional. I'd opt for the more professional "Mistakes in The Legend of Zelda Series." Thoughts?User:Justin/sig 17:12, 4 December 2010 (EST)

Agreed. Current name sounds unencyclopedic.ZENOX T C 17:19, 4 December 2010 (EST)
I support the suggestions. If no one disagrees, I shall move it in the next 10 minutes. --User:K2L/sig 17:30, 4 December 2010 (EST)

Phantom Hourglass section

The second entry in this section is wrong, IMO. When you put the crystals into the pedestals in the correct order and enter the little room from floor 9, there's an earthquake, and you come out on floor 10. That much is clear. However, many people, including myself, believe that the earthquake is actually not floor 10 replacing floor 9 in the temple, but the small room acting as a lift; going down a floor, so that when you come out again, you are on floor 10. There. It's not a glitch! Avengah 13:40, 26 July 2011 (EDT)

Nice observation, I guess. I admit that some of these mistakes may have explanation. I'm going to remove that part. User:K2L/sig 14:31, 26 July 2011 (EDT)
  • In the Faron Woods Silent Realm trial, Fi tells Link that she cannot be with him during the trial before he begins, which means that she won't interrupt him. However, she still cuts in midway through the trial to warn Link about the Waking Water.

--Link's soul traveled into the Silent Realm, but Fi is still with his body. I don't see how this is an "error" -- she's not with him in person, but she can still speak to his body, which he can hear.KrytenKoro 17:40, 5 January 2012 (EST)

Yeah, and plus we know Fi can use telepathic transmissions, so maybe she was communicating with Link THROUGH HIS MIND or something. Either way, I think for now we should remove the SS section. Dany36 17:53, 5 January 2012 (EST)
Just so there are no misunderstandings, I had only copied the info from this segment, which still points it out (and even calls it irony, but I had removed the word prior to this article's edit). I myself didn't notice that Fi could still advise Link during the trials, only that she couldn't guide him in person. Had I paid attention, I wouldn't have added this to the page, and would even have deleted it from the original article.--User:K2L/sig 19:29, 5 January 2012 (EST)

Link's Awakening

In Link's Awakening, Papahl mentions early on that he will be lost in the mountains later in the quest. Does this break the fourth wall or does he get himself lost in the mountains on purpose?

The Wind Waker

What about Ganon claiming that Link is the reincarnation of the HoT in TWW? This is impossible, as TWW takes place in the Adult Timeline, which the HoT left when he traveled back to the past. - Dere 03:22, 11 May 2013 (UTC)Reply[reply]

Actually, it's not impossible- the Hero of Winds being descended from the Hero of Time is impossible, but reincarnations can occur in any timeline because the hero's spirit is not reincarnated- only the hero's will. It's like how Ganon is able to appear in all three timelines, regardless of his fate in any of the other given two- Demise's will is restoring Ganon or otherwise creating a new version of him.

The exact quote is "Yes, surely you are the Hero of Time, reborn". It's merely a figure of speech, one that is very common in Japanese culture where you compare someone's abilities to a legendary figure by saying they are that person reborn. Otherwise, how would Ganon even know that WW Link is a reincaration of the Hero of Time. Where is he getting this magical exposition delivering ability from?
