::Sounds good. I'd do it myself, but I lost the books. Meh. Anyway, it's the second bonus story in OoT part 2. {{:User:Alter/sig}} 17:11, 4 February 2009 (UTC) | ::Sounds good.

::They refer to him as "the professor at the Marine Research Lab" or "the professor at the lab" in ''Majora's Mask''. While he himself signes "Lake Scientist" in ''Ocarina of Time''. I think his signature has more value than people refering to him as "that guy over there".

::Also, his Japanese and manga name means "Lake Water Expert" (''Mizumi Hakaze''). "Lake Scientist" seems clother than just "professor".

:::If Jeangabin's evidence is correct and the Zoras just refer to him vaguely as a professor, I don't think that counts as a title that overrules the definite name of Lake Scientist. It's like saying Link should be moved to "Boy" because Ganondorf calls him that.

::::In OoT he's called Lake Scientist as he works in ''Lake'' Hylia, which obviously doesn't apply to MM. As he has no official name, we must go with the closest name/title in his latest appearance, in this case MM. {{:User:Chuck/sig}} 18:29, 10 April 2016 (UTC) | ::::In OoT he's called Lake Scientist as he works in ''Lake'' Hylia, which obviously doesn't apply to MM.

::This isn't fan opinion either. Fan opinion would be me calling him "Dave". He is referred to as "Professor", so that's what we call them. If an '''in-game''' name isn't given, then the title of the person is used. Much like how we use Match Master and Doppel Master for the two characters in TFH. {{:User:The Goron Moron/sig}} 16:47, 11 April 2016 (UTC) | ::This isn't fan opinion either.

:::Except he's not referred to as "Professor". He's called a professor. That's not a name, that's a descriptor. He's not given any name for Majora's Mask - it would be like renaming Malon to "Woman" if she gets called that in Zelda U. Lake Scientist is used in his signature and as a title, rather than a descriptor, so it, while still not a name, is much closer than professor.

::::If I recall, Link was never referred to by name in TFH, so should we rename the Link page to "Tri Force Hero?" Even if I'm wrong, you see what I mean. Anyways, this is a very slippery (ha ha) topic. All I can say is that Professor is what someone calls him as a profession, whereas Lake Scientist is what he calls himself. And since they're completely different people, they could even be split up. I can't recall if Malon is a separate page from Cremia. But that's out of line.
