Talk:Igos du Ikana
King's soldiers
The page talks about the other two soldiers, but there is no picture of them. Should one be added, even though this page is about Igos du Ikana? Dany36 01:08, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, yes. Either a picture, or they get their own article. They're even mentioned in the Stalfos page. RupeeLord(EDN) 21:23, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

So far all this page has is battle related information; however I'd like to expand it to include non-strategy related facts, too. For example, that ridiculous argument the lackeys have after they're defeated isn't even mentioned. I'd like to expand more but I'm going to bed, so if anyone wants to expand this (or reorganize, or whatever), feel free. Also, "Lackeys" is the only thing they're ever called in the game (and loosely, at that) as far as I know, so if anyone knows of a better name for them... yeah. =) —Embyr 75 --Talk-- 03:24, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
- Igos calls them "My Servants". Jeangabin 06:29, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
So they are called Stalfos?
According to page 134 of Nintendo Power's official guide for Majora's Mask, it states "Trick the king into thinking he's seeing a child-sized version commander by wearing the Captain's Hat during your bone rattling battle with the skeletal Stalfos knights and Igos himself". It's not exactly word of god or anything, and I'm honestly not sure what they're called in Japan for example, but it's an NoA publication that refers to them as Stalfos. Earlier in the guide it just calls them skeletons, but yeah. The use of "knights" is interesting, however, but not capitalized. I wonder if they have a Japanese name. ※Fizzle (talk) 14:23, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
- Hm, well whaddya know. That settles that issue. I'll add them back to the Stalfos page. — Hylian King [*] 14:47, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
- Pretty sure "Stal" generally means "Skeleton." Even if that's not the literal meaning, it's basically what it describes. There's like 20 things in the Zelda universe with Stal in the name, and they're ALL skeletal. And generally, skeletal knights have been called Stalfos. My point is that you can theoretically call any bipedal, human-sized skeleton a stalfos. The king's knights are skeleton knights, so...yeah, they're stalfos. Hope that helps anyone who's iffy about the gospel according to guidebook :PUser:Justin ZW/sig 15:04, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, it was just a problem in the past because one user had some gripe over the fact that they're never explicitly referred to as Stalfos. — Hylian King [*] 15:15, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
- Stal is commonly used that way but there are a number of skeletal creatures in the series that are never called "Stal" in any manner (Piratans, for one, and the Hero's Spirit, Bago-Bagos, etc.). Also, there is an enemy called a Stal, and that thing is just a skull rock, not even a real skeleton. Stalfos is a specific enemy known as Stalfos, and it's pretty obvious that those two guys were Stalfos, even if they were more friendly than normal. They and fight look pretty much identical to the ones in OoT in general design. I don't think it's a good idea to call everything skeletal a Stalfos. I recently moved the Tingle Pirates from the Stalfos page because they are NOT Stalfos, and in that game, Stalfos is the literal name of the Captain. Technically "Captain" is just his title. His name is Stalfos. So yeah, it leads to confusion if we start calling everything skeletal "stal". That's not really how it works, because the term "skeleton" still exists in the Zelda series. Stal is a naming convention but it's not a definition in itself (much like "fos"). ※Fizzle (talk) 16:11, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
