Talk:Wall Merging

Move to Wall Merging

I suggest that we move this page back to Wall Merging. I've yet to play the game, but it seems like ALBW doesn't provide a name beyond this, and it's used on the official Zelda website (seen here). User:Pakkun/sig 00:00, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

I agree that it should be moved. "Wall Merging" seems like a good title for the article, but I think "Merge" should be redirected as well. While playing the game, the command for the ability just says "Merge" when entering the wall (and "Exit" when leaving the wall). --Joshua (Yumil) (talk) 01:50, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good. — Hylian King ^[*] 02:53, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi again, Josh, Hylian King. I think the proper name for the page should be "Merging" or "merge" because Link doesn't necessarily merge into walls only, he also merges into some enemies items, for example Stalbind's shield. --Net34a (talk) 02:57, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

I think Wall Merging is fine, because that is the primary use, & the term “wall” is rather subjective. Plus, “merge” on its own might be a confusing term given its real-world meaning, & Wall Merging being used on the official site gives it an advantage over making up a term like Surface Merging. --ALegendGuy 06:26, 30 November 2013 (UTC)

I support a move to Wall Merging because of the official site, with redirects at Merge & Merging. We can explain the name choice in the article as Pakkuna Matata did above: “Wall Merging (as the official LoZ website calls it) is the ability to magically turn a person into a living painting on almost any flat, vertically-oriented surface. Yuga possessed this ability, which was later copied by Link with the help of Ravio’s Bracelet; although Link’s version was more limited.”[ As Link could only Merge himself, only while standing next to the surface in question, & only until the energy gauge was depleted. He also couldn’t create a frame to take another painting with him.] --ALegendGuy 06:26, 30 November 2013 (UTC)
