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

Triforce

I mean, come on! The Triforce? Surely as vital a component of the series as Link, Zelda, or Ganon himself. As we all know, it's the driving force at the centre of almost every plotline, and a great article to boot. I may add some more sources for good measure... —Adam ^(talk) 17:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Support

1. I like this article, and not just because it fits most of the descriptions above, but also because it is a vital part of the Zelda series. --David ^{(T : C)} 20:07, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
2. Just a good Article what else is there to say?--The Legend of Zelda 00:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
3. This article is basically about the heart of the Zelda universe, the Triforce, its an absolute must for the featured article and its written well too giving info on its creation and such -Kresh64 22:56, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
4. I think so, the triforce is a item since the REAL zelda. --Legend of Link 01:05, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
5. The Triforce deserves its time in the spotlight.--Matt 04:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
6. I like it, it's an integral part of the Zelda universe, and should be featured, but it needs a little more than just one citation.--Rdnckj258 21:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
7. Such a pivitol (hope spelled that right) element of the Zelda storyline, and a good article to boot, deserves to be featured --Emeryn 22:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
8. The Triforce: The essence of the Goddesses, the thing that Ganon is always trying to steal but gets beat up by Link anyway! --Zeldagirl93 15:50, 9 May 2008 (EST)
9. It's a great article, with good pictures and loads of information! The Triforce is also so important in the Zelda series. --Mariofan9 19:28, 14 May 2008 (EST)

Opposition

1. I know, what am I doing opposing this? Simple - everyone knows about the triforce. Why don't we nominate articles about the lesser known aspects of the Zelda world? I mean, I am getting fairly tired that every featured article is always about the most known aspects of the series. --Nathan 0:17, 12 May 2008 (CT)

Gerudo

Very nice article, more of the work of (the sadly absent) IfIHaveTo. Although the references are slightly excessive IMO ;) —Adam ^(talk) 17:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Support

1. All Zelda fans know about the Triforce, but some of the newer fans probably don't know much about the Gerudo race. I think the Triforce is very important, but more people would learn more with this article. --Triforceboy4 21:49, 9 April 2008 (UTC)

Opposition

1. This page needs some work. Why is the infobox placed where it is? Not consistent with standards of the Wiki. Not good enough for featured status. Mases 16:02, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Master Sword

With the nomination of the Pedestal of Time recently, the Master Sword must be the next logical step. A well-written article that cites sources, and the majority of its pictures are simply beautiful. --Yuvorias 9:24, 15 April 2008 (EST)

Support

1. Now that I cleaned up the cross-reference, this article is great. Now it can be a featured article.--Matt 17:28, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
2. The Legend of Zelda 00:08, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
3. It's true. And all of you know it. And the article is awesome. A triple threat. --Seablue254 12:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Opposition

Medli

A really good article with lots of refrences.--Link hero of light 17:46, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Support

Opposition

1. Hmm... This article doesn't have a lot of references. It is mostly references. It is much too short to be a featured article.--Matt 13:20, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
