Talk Page Archived

Okay. The talk page was getting WAY too big, and it included comments from nearly 4 years ago, so I archived it. Continue old discussions below. Thanks!  Dylanlip  (talk) 15:02, 9 April 2009 (UTC)

Screenshots

It appears that these screenshots were taken from an emulator, which is resulting in quite heavy aliasing. Can we please get some screens from actual Gamecube gameplay? Salgat (talk) 17:57, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

Is that based on the fact that they were taken using a screen capture device, as stated in the rationale, or just an assumption made by you? Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 18:21, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

An assumption, as I have never encountered that level of aliasing during the several times that I have played the game. 68.40.99.176 (talk) 20:12, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Are you sure this isn't the sort of output capture devices should give, though? It should be reliable enough if that is the case. Haipa Doragon (talk • contributions) 00:11, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

There is severe aliasing in the forground objects when played on the Game Cube. Have a look at the King of Red Lions in the title screen, for example. 91.178.67.254 (talk) 14:35, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Sales figures

This game sold 3,07 million copies worlwide according to http://www.rpgamer.com/news/japan/rp033104.html, it is a reliable ref, used in many Zelda articles. Please add. OboeCrack (talk) 00:46, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

But....... is RPGamer identified as notable according to Wikipedia's criteria? (I personally hope so, since there was a sales figure somewhere in the article but someone mercilessly deleted it).--190.198.84.133 (talk) 22:05, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Urm...

Just curious, I was scanning through the article and noticed something - Aonuma is mentioned only once in the entire article as having developed it, and twice period. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 02:40, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

It says in the infobox that he was the game director. If you're looking for the specifics of what he did, it's possible that no one could find anything about that. I can't even tell you what responsibilities a video game director has. Larrythefunkyferret (talk) 05:58, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

The infobox is lead information, and should be mentioned somewhere in the article's body. And plus, Aonuma certainly had a lot to say about it; through my years of watching the game develop, Aonuma conducted interviews and was a regular fixture for TWW. Also, he said it affected him personally how few copies TWW sold (as mentioned in PH's article). - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 06:06, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

You followed it through the development cycle? Do you still have access to those sources? Larrythefunkyferret (talk) 04:19, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Nah, that's too far back, before I really concerned myself with keeping sources. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 10:03, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

I wonder if anyone else has access to them. How effective would it be to ask at the project page? Larrythefunkyferret (talk) 07:49, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, couldn't hurt to ask. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 21:28, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

100 years vs hundreds of years

Seriously, the 100 years is a mistake in the interview. I understand that Wikipedia usually has to follow sources, but in this case it is obvious that the only available source is flawed with a translation eror. Is it really good to spread a false fact (that Wind Waker is set 100 years instead of hundreds of years afer OoT)? I mean, think about how many people are lazy and just look up a fact on Wikipedia instead of using multiple sources. They will all take the wrong 100 years as a fact. 91.17.63.113 (talk) 14:43, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Can you provide an equally credible source that does not contain such an error? As soon as you do, we can ethically change it to the correct data. Until then, the content of the article must not contradict the source, which has been considered reliable up until now. Larrythefunkyferret (talk) 04:52, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Greatest Zelda Ever

I know this is not the place for this comment but I have to write this. This one is the best of the series, I really hope they make another Zelda where you have to travel the seas. It gets boring running around the forest and desert in every other Zelda game. The sea, gives it a whole new sense of adventure.--Az81964444 (talk) 04:29, 18 October 2009 (UTC)
