This is a great, GREAT article, however, I feel it is better suited as a WikiExclusive than as an actual article in the wiki, since it deals primarily with a fan-based topic and the writing style of the article itself would cater more strongly towards a featured ZW piece.

The article was written in a similar way others, like Cameos of The Legend of Zelda, Permanently Missable Items or 100% Completion were; that is, it's not about trying to confirm or refuse something, but to list or show the known aspects of that something. A WikiExclusive, judging after reading Trinity of Truth (I wonder who wrote it ;)...), develops a theory based on in-game evidences, so that new answers to everyday questions can be found. If I intended to write a WE on technology, I would elaborate that Hyrule is slowly heading towards a more industrialized era, and (as I learned with other games like Okami or even real life itself) that might imply Hyrulean people having less faith on the Goddesses, as they would develop their own tools to subsist instead of praying for miracles, and therefore resulting on, say ...... scarcity of magical devices, lack of magic meter, the Triforce having very little influence ,or even mention, in the game. If you ask me, I actually tried to add this in a section with the Theory Warning template, but I feared it would be too speculative (and I saw with my eyes how horribly mean some users can be in regards of some speculations; I just wanted to avoid a similar fate).--K2L 08:49, 20 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]
That would be an excellent WE idea K2L, but I see where you are going with this. Either way, its a great addition! =) — ciprianotalk 04:23, 21 January 2010 (UTC)Reply[reply]

I respect your historical knowledge, however, Zelda is not a historical game, it doesn't take place in medieval Europe, it's inspired by medieval Europe. It has its own timeline and its own technology. Supposed "anachronisms" don't have a place in this wiki.


If you want to do that, then don't blank the entire page. That's vandalism. Koboldvortex (talk) 01:10, 14 November 2021 (UTC)Reply[reply]
