It outbalances the "Black Sheep" section to keep things (appear) neutral. I think the Pros. section should stay up until someone is prepared to properly merge it with the BS section and then split it again in a proper "reception" and "gameplay" section.[[User:IfIHaveTo|IfIHaveTo]] 13:59, 18 January 2008 (EST) | It outbalances the "Black Sheep" section to keep things (appear) neutral.

There are numerous links to places in this game which are completely useless. The lack of information isn't the problem of our contributors', but the problem of the game. There is no information that is viable enough for places like [[Tantari_Desert|Tantari Desert]] to have it's own page because it can be discussed in other articles. Landmass "places" also are useless. [[Parapa Desert|Parapa Desert]] has too little information and literally only has a palace in the whole place. [[Central Hyrule|Central Hyrule]] is not only useless and a waste of time, but a disgrace.

{{Red Link|File:Map Zelda2.gif|map}} as reference, so I think the aforementioned articles (and others unmentioned) should be removed and any reference to "Central Hyrule", or others like it, should be linked to the map and give the reader a general direction of where to look. {{:User:Pr3c1pit0us/sig}} 02:25, 11 February 2009 (UTC) | |||

I have created a new section: Gameplay, and the Black Sheep section is gone for good because it not only was disorganized, but also was extremely biased. An audio section was added as well, and several parts of the trivial section were moved to other section. Pros section was renamed to Legacy. --[[User:K2L|K2L]] 18:56, 18 June 2009 (UTC) | I have created a new section: Gameplay, and the Black Sheep section is gone for good because it not only was disorganized, but also was extremely biased.

:: Speaking along those same lines the Trivia section and the relating AOL to the CD-I games based solely on 2d side scrolling appears to be in the same manner. Im tempted to remove it as I doubt its just the type of gameplay that leads the CDI games to be bad.--[[User:Bortson|Bortson]] 22:19, 2 February 2010 (UTC) | |||
:::Well, the connection between the two games based on side-scrolling is legitimate because, if you've ever played {{TAoL}}, you will see the similarities to the CD-I titles. Regardless of the connotations, the trivia should stay because it is true. {{:User:Cipriano/sig}} 23:59, 2 February 2010 (UTC) | |||
:::: Then the trivia needs to include mention of LoZ where there was sidescrolling in the dungeons and relate them to the CDI games, including implications that sidescrolling = bad game. Now if you want a statement that isnt an opinion then something along the lines of, "sidescrolling was never featured in another official Zelda game, though the CD-I releases did feature this style of gameplay." might be better. p.s. AoL was the first Zelda game I ever played when I got my NES [[User:Bortson|Bortson]] 16:07, 3 February 2010 (UTC) | |||
:::::The article is not stating that either AOL or the first ''two'' CD-i games were bad. It is stating that the latter were received poorly (i.e., it's like saying MM and TWW were met with mixed reactions, it's not to say that they were bad, by any means). You're welcome to make the article less biased, just take note from what I'm saying.--[[User:K2L|K2L]] 22:28, 23 February 2010 (UTC) | |||
== Outdated information? == | |||
Under the Legacy section, one bullet point says "The overworld of no other Zelda title can be considered this large, with this many towns and this many different environments." | |||
Is this not outdated? Breath of the Wild for example blows it out of the water in terms of scale. I'm not even sure about the towns and environments argument. | |||

:Thank you for pointing that out. I believe you're correct, so I'll remove the outdated info. [[User:TriforceTony|TriforceTony]] ([[User talk:TriforceTony|talk]]) 21:12, 12 January 2018 (UTC) | |||
