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

Veran

A little known boss among the majority of Zelda players here. Likely three or four of us have actually fought her. Her article is in much better shape than Onox's article. It fits the criteria. Update: Plus, it'd be the first featured media of the Oracles games! --Felicia's Champion 04:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

  1. You've been working on this for a long time, Yuvorias, and your efforts have payed off. Very nice article. User:Seablue254/sig 12:35, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
  2. A very good article, detailed, lengthy and well catergorized. A boss from one of the lesser known (but still very fun) games. An excellent choice for a featured article.Poe 23:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
  3. I remember having to beat Veran, and I agree that she is a little known but still important villain. I think being a featured article will make more aware of her.Onen 21:12, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
  4. A lesser known villain, but a very cool one, and a nice article to boot! One of my favorite final boss battles. --Majora'sMoonwalk 17:11, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
  5. One the best bosses in the zelda series, i think it was one of the best there could be for an article to feature.--Onox13 20:57, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
  6. A great enemy in the Zelda series. It's sad she's not well-known. The article is great, supported with good images. Let's give it the featured status! --Mariofan9 08:01, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
  7. A well put together article, and a villian like this deserves to be known a bit more.--Icytriforc 20:49, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

  1. sorry but how come naryu has a link and ambi dosent?Dragonstetraforce 16:10, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
  • Because there's almost nothing to write about for Ambi, so she doesn't need her own article. Nayru, however, does have more to write about, and that portion makes sense being merged with the Nayru (Oracle) article. User:Ando/sig 16:42, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Hyrule Castle

what would hyrule be without its castle?Dragonstetraforce 16:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

  1. I agree, Hyrule Castle has been in many of the games and is where you face off with Ganondorf at the end of some games. The article is well written and lengthy and it would make a great featured article. --Kresh64 22:42, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Tunic

Link's trademark Tunic has stayed with him for ages, and there are many variations that are stated clearly here. --Ingo 07:36, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
