Obscure Items Edit

I do like the reuse of obscure items and I'm also wondering what other newer items they'll release (other than the Beetle, of course). Also, one kind of has to wonder what the upgrade to the Mole Mitts will be. Maybe it's a bulldozer. Oh yeah, and I prefer the look of the word Phi to Fi, but since Phi is a Greek letter and whatnot it's kind of weird. -Minish Link 17:27, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

It's possible not every item will be up-gradable but if they want to reuse concepts they could have the Mole Mitt upgrade similar to the L2 Shovel in Four Swords Adventures which singles with a noise when you can unearth something special using the shovel, which would be a useful feature. Oni Dark Link 17:52, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

A L2 Shovel style mechanic may mess with their whole dousing mode thing. They could always go the boring rout and randomly make some dig spots made of special blue dirt that you need to have level 2 Mole Mitts to dig up, red patches of soil that require level 3, and stuff like that. Hopefully though they'll add some additional mechanics as items are upgraded rather than just the same thing but more powerful. I was pretty happy to see the Gust Jar return. I'm praying to the Four Giants for the Cane of Somaria or a Remote Bomb upgrade... --FierceDeku 18:27, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

Remote Bombs would be sweet, I've been saying for a long time now it's something I want to see and it would be a perfect upgrade for bombs. I don't think they would do a different soil diggable thing unless if was for totally different areas of the game (like Skylof soil being different to Hyrulian Soil). Otherwise it would be a bit obvious where good items are hidden since you can blatantly see the upgraded soil. I think it's confirmed that added mechanics will be pat of upgrades since didn't they say at one point that the Beetle could be upgraded with certain properties added to it. Oni Dark Link 18:36, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure I read that all items will be upgradable, but I'm not sure. And yeah, Remote Bombs are pretty great. -Minish Link 20:11, September 14, 2011 (UTC)

i didnt know there was a preview thing thanks a lot!

Random wiki invitation Edit

hey Oni Dark Link, I'm wondering if you'd like to contribute to my wiki, http://lozcharactercreator.wikia.com/wiki/LoZCharactercreator_Wiki#Latest_activity. There's the link. I'm hoping you'll contribute. Peashooter9 (talk) 17:33, November 6, 2011 (UTC)

Sky Keep Edit

for your last edit on the silent realm i misinterpreted that statement :p it made it sound like that link went through another trial all over again not that the triforce pieces were sitting in rooms in the silent realm [i guess you could say] thats why i thought it didnt belong. - User:Red Toon Link (talk)

Understandable. If you feel the wording is a little bit ambiguous try rewording. Oni Dark Link 22:35, December 7, 2011 (UTC)

Treasures Edit

Before I undo all your "work" in expanding the articles into separate pages without a discussion beforehand, was there such a discussion? --AuronKaizer! 21:34, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

A discussion hardly seemed necessary. There was no discussion to give each of the Skyward Sword Treasures their own page yet they all got one. I merely made a consistency in page creation. If treasures don't deserve their own page or section then all treasure pages should be removed not just the DS ones. As it was the information of Treasures was already in consistent, there were no pages for the DS treasures yet the Zora Scale had its own section on the Zora Scale page. Worse still the Wood Heart page redirected users away from that page in regards to information about treasures yet still had information about the Spirit Tracks Treasure on it. If you feel that Treasures shouldn't deserve a page then delete the pages, just make sure there is consistency in what is deleted. Oni Dark Link 21:56, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, there was. And the Zora Scale thing is obviously an exception. We couldn't not mention that an item of the same name exists. You have approximately one hour to come up with a good rationale. --AuronKaizer! 23:12, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

That forum was mostly about making a page for them collectively, I didn't partake in it and missed the one comment saying they are more differences between them then the DS Treasures. I don't exactly see what the major differences are to be honest both are collectibles that can be used to upgrade things. It's not like we have articles that can be covered somewhere else already. Either way though do as you like with the pages just keep some consistency. If sections are fine then leave the Zora Scale, Wood Heart and Bee Larva sections of their respective articles even though it would be a bit strange having information specifically pertaining to them and not the others. It's your call but I suggest you consider the possibility of keeping them instead of outright deleting them because of the scenario in which they were made. If you do delete them though it won't bother me I accept the way things are. Oni Dark Link 00:11, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

You're missing the point entirely. Whether or not it's a "good decision or not" is immaterial, fact is you should have discussed it first to begin with. Stop thinking regular rules and guidelines do not apply to you. Thank you for wasting everybody's time. --AuronKaizer! 00:27, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

Stub discussion Edit

The discussion is on the Template talk:Stub page, in case you haven't found it on the recent changes yet. Jedimasterlink (talk) 23:48, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks I'll head over right away Oni Dark Link 10:20, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

UserboxesEdit

I forgot how to make user boxes. Help me please! KingGoku 15:22, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

The page Zeldapedia:Userboxes covers most aspects of userboxes and includes a list of userboxes on the site. To actually create one from scratch involves making a template but that should only be done if it's be used by a large number of people. If you want a personalized userbox you need to simply edit the code and manually put it on your user page. Hope that helps. Oni Dark Link 16:47, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

SariaEdit

There was a youtube cartoon on what I put in Saria's page, and at least I put it in the non-canon page. KingGoku 15:22, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

Such a work is considered fanon. We used to include noteable works of fanon on mainspace pages but it was voted off. There is just too much fanon noteable or otherwise to crowed onto one page. Some of the more major works still have their own page but the topic of how noteable it is must be discussed before making such pages Oni Dark Link 16:47, February 12, 2012 (UTC)

Question Edit

Do you know where to download Phantom Hourglass?

Thanks

I do and I would tell you if downloading the game wasn't against most of my morals. With little effort you can probably still purchase it in shops and even if not it can easily be bought online for a reasonable price. Either way though if you want to play a handheld Zelda game I wouldn't start with Phantom Hourglass. Oni Dark Link 23:52, April 14, 2012 (UTC)

Brawl Friend Code Edit

Can you tell me when you get my friend code for Super Smash Bros. Brawl? Mine is 3311-0433-1072. Kingkillerbee (talk)

I've added you Oni Dark Link 21:22, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

I'll put yours in right now. When do you want to fight? Kingkillerbee (talk) 21:54 May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Do you have a youtube page? It just might be easier to contact there rather than here since the subject has little to do with Zeldapedia Oni Dark Link 10:06, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, I don't. Kingkillerbee (talk 12:22, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

Ah ok then I guess I'll play you if I ever see you online. Oni Dark Link 23:33, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

BS Games Edit

Now that I'm been actively working on the Youtube page again I was looking through what games needed to be done still. Both of the BS games need to be done. Since in past discussion on them, you seamed to be familiar with them. Because of that and the great work you did for the Zelda II videos, I thought I would see if you would be interested in getting videos from either or both of the BS game. --Birdman5589 (talk) 16:17, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry to jump in this, and I know I don't participate on youtube, but you might want to contact ZeldaInformer's channel and get them to replace the ZW channel with the ZP channel on their featured list Birdman. And of course, you should probably add them to your featured list is they agree. Again, sorry to randomly come into this convo, but I just checked out the channel and found that kind of strange. --EveryDayJoe45 (talk) 18:46, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

I have played Kodai no Sekiban (or as we seem to call it now Ancient Stone Tablets, not sure when that happened) and think I could easily get my hands on the others. I would of course be glad to get the recordings, I currently use ZSNES to play them but I don't think that happens to have an AVI recorder that I used with FCEUX (and Virtual Boy Advanced) but I think the roms would probably work on any Super Nintendo Emulator if you have a suggestion Oni Dark Link 23:33, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

I think there is a way to do it in ZSNES as I believe that is what I used for A Link to the Past. However, I can't remember how to off the top of my head. If I'm mistaken, I'm fairly certain that snes9x has a built in recorder. I can look into it more next weekend if you have problems getting it to work. --Birdman5589 (talk) 23:56, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

I'll tinker round with ZSNES for a bit and see if I can find anything. I looked before but never found anything but it was just out of casual wonder not for any particular need so I didn't look that hard. Another issue though is if they actually need full on videos to begin with as most of the bosses in them are the same bosses from the legend of zelda and a link to the past (though with some sprite revamps in the legend of zelda's case if I'm not mistaken). Personally I think it'd be nice to have them in but we currently don't cover their appearances on the wiki's boss pages, though we probably should. Oni Dark Link 00:03, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

Since it is a different game, I would say include them all. Even though we don't have pages for them, it would be nice to have the video regardless. --Birdman5589 (talk) 11:33, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

Really the level of differences probably wouldn't suffice to have their own page. A mention on the existing page would probably do. Something like "Kholdstare also appears in BS Zelda: Ancient Stone Tablets as the boss of seventh palace, available on Week Four." Another justification for having them on the same page is that, since the games are direct sequels and remakes, it is implied this is the exact same creature. Still should probable wait to see what others think though. For now i'll see about getting the videos. Oni Dark Link 11:41, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

Ok figured out how to record AVI off ZSNES (needed to download a new set of files but it was pretty handy since I didn't have it at all on my new computer) and have uploaded the first boss, Armos Knigths to the Youtube Channel. When ever you can maybe you can check it out to make sure everything looks ok as well as give the proper description and tags you want. A new playlist will probably need to be made too but I'll let you deal with all that since there's probably a standard you want to follow. I've named the video Armos Knights (Ancient Stone Tablets) in lieu of how the other videos are named (without The Legend of Zelda) but I don't know maybe it should say BS somewhere. Or just in the description, I'll let you decide that sort of thing. Overall this shouldn't take me that long to do since the game is designed to be played in four hours but I'll wait for you feedback before recording anything else. Oni Dark Link 14:15, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

The recording was fine for the most part. The major problem with it is the recorded resolution. It is only recorded at 240p where it should be recorded at 480p as was done for the ALttP videos. The only other thing I would add is making sure you record the intro for the game. I'll get around to adding the playlist and other things for the videos later this week. --Birdman5589 (talk) 23:36, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

I have recorded the intro and ending of the chapter as well as the other boss fight (I just thought a moving battle would show up any problems easier than a still frame intro). I'll see if the setting can increase the resolution, I thought it did look a bit choppy myself that's why I only uploaded the one video. If not that I'll just have to try a different emulator. Maybe the exact same one that was used for the A Link to the Past videos. Another point is the fact that the game can be played with two (identical) characters. I choose to use the male mascot (because I'm male) but I could probably do both if you feel it would be a nice touch. The intros to each chapter however have a set mascot, I think. Alternatively I could playthrough that chapter using whichever mascot is shown in the intro. You can delete the Armos Knights video from the page since we'll definitely have to replace it with a better quality version Oni Dark Link 23:44, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

It maybe looked a little choppy but I didn't notice it the first time. At this point, just play around with the setting until you get it to work. Then upload another video and make it a private video and I'll check it out before making it public. At that point, I can give you the go ahead for the rest of the videos. I would say to do all the videos with the male mascot. As for the female mascot, a "Bonus Video" playing as her could be put together. This could feature some other interesting bits of gameplay that isn't included in the boss videos. --Birdman5589 (talk) 23:53, May 29, 2012 (UTC)

Ok so I tried some of the other settings and uploaded them to my own youtube channel changing the settings for the video dumping and this is what I got 1, 2, 3, 4. No matter what it always seems to be slightly fuzzy in the areas around the moving Armos Knights, I'm not sure how to fix that problem. If none of these are fitting then I'll try one more custom setting before looking into using a different emulator. Oni Dark Link 22:34, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

Skype Edit

You still want us to add you into the skype group? Jazzi 18:49, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

Sure go for it. I'll try and get on whenever I remember about it, have yet to install Skype on my new computer but I still use my old one frequently enough so that I can partake in anything that is happening. Oni Dark Link 19:04, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

You won't be changing your Skype username? If not, I'll add you in since, assuming it is firstlastname still, I still have you as a contact. Would love to see you in there soon! Jazzi 19:09, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

I'll head over there right now if I can Oni Dark Link 20:03, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

Signature Edit

Will probably break, don't know what's going on with the update, but once HTML5 is on wikia it won't work (at least that's what I've picked up from the blog) so your signature will have to change to span tags like:

[[User:Oni Dark Link|<span style="color:#66FFFF">Oni</span>]] [[Special:Editcount/Oni Dark Link|<span style="color:#7F007F">Dark</span>]] [[User:Oni Dark Link/Curiosity Trading one or two?|<span style="color:#007A00">Link</span>]]

– Jazzi (talk) 18:55, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Seems simple enough. When will HTML5 be on wikia? I'll probably change it whenever I can think of something better (and maybe more wikia universal) for my third link since that page is pretty dead at this stage. Oni Dark Link 19:00, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Don't know, really. It was supposed to be when the update was. But Wikia is unreliable, as we all know. – Jazzi (talk) 19:04, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

Poll suggestion Edit

In the suggestion you made: "What is your favourite race", there are a few races that could be added. That include: Whip Race, Race Against Yeto and Yeta and Commemorative Race. I could add them by myself, but it's preferable that you add them since it's your suggestion.

PS: I just realized I mistakenly posted this on your user page, my apologies.

--Mr Alex (T) 03:58, September 23, 2012 (UTC)

The whip race isn't really a race against anyone that's why I didn't add it, I already have the commemorative race in there (though i am thinking of taking it out). Kudos on the race against Yeto and Yeta though that certainly deserves to be in. Oni Dark Link 10:04, September 23, 2012 (UTC)
