In the article, it says that there are three areas, but I read that part twice, and only saw Overworld and Dungeons. If towns are one of the areas, shouldn't that be with the Overworld? StarWarsLightsabers561 (talk) 18:48, 10 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

IDK, maybe a typo? Billishuman (talk) 22:40, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The summary says the main traits link has across games is he's left handed (although not in SS, BOTW and TOTK I'm sure) and that he's clad in green (again not true in BOTW or TOTK unless you count outfits you can find).

Should there not be mention of the fact that courage is one of his main traits across all games? I'd offer this is a more important fact compared to his hand dexterity and his fashion choice?

Honestly, it doesn't feel like any these are particularly worth singling out... Sergecross73 msg me 18:24, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah I wouldn't argue with that statement either. Although if they do need to have something I'd suggest courage should be highlighted since it's such a key component of his character and the games themselves. This is my first time offering up a suggestion so not sure if this is the right way to do it or not! GFunkStar123 (talk) 18:29, 21 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The left-handed swap was to make it easier for the Wii, I think. Most likely wrong, could someone please fact-check this? No idea why the green-blue switch happened, but my opinion is that there was a higher emphasis on the Triforce, and Links ability is courage. Courage is represented with green, so that could be it. In BOTW and TOTK, there's a lot less emphasis on the Triforce, so they went with a cool, new blue. Billishuman (talk) 22:39, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Link has always been a migit as hylians are a type of high race elf though very short. Brainiac78 (talk) 20:41, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done Not true, and even if it was, we wouldn't use that terminology. Sergecross73 msg me 20:53, 14 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Could we add links to the Zelda Wiki and the Zelda fandom? I just think more sources would look better and help people find information if they don't already know those sites. SageAgathokak (talk) 14:44, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Probably not. See WP:ELNO and WP:ELYES for external link dos and don'ts. Sergecross73 msg me 14:51, 1 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The maps are extremely low quality, and one of them isn't even in English. There are world map graphics available in the Ocarina of Time and Breath of the Wild games themselves, couldn't those be better to use instead? 75.161.239.235 (talk) 19:52, 13 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Shouldn't the TOTK Zonai timeline be listed? It's a different timeline from the one in the chart, and it should be shown. Billishuman (talk) 22:35, 11 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
