Voice actress in Skyward Sword

Alright, I've seen some sites in the Internet that have contradicting information about who voiced Zelda in Skyward Sword. Some say that it was Yu Shimamura while other say that it was Megumi Toyoguchi. Could someone be kind enough to get a clear confirmation to end this debate?

The fourth Smash Bros. games

@User:Gabriel Yuji, Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U are, accoring to the current Wikipedia article, respectively the fourth and fifth installments in the Smash Bros. series. "Sheik returned in the fourth Super Smash Bros. game as a separate character from Zelda" seems to only refer to Smash Bros. for 3DS, but this fact is also true for the Wii U version. I suggest "Sheik returned in the fourth and fifth Super Smash Bros. games as a separate character from Zelda." ~Mable (chat) 07:50, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

MaplestriP, get it; it's seems a good option. It can also be "Sheik returned in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U". You decide. Gabriel Yuji (talk) 15:55, 11 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Zelda's picture change

Should Zelda's picture be changed from her Twilight Princess portrayal to her Breath of the Wild portrayal? It's her most recent appearance, and Twilight Princess came out more than a decade ago, so the current picture is a bit dated. Ashburning (talk) 12:03, 14 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Why was the infobox picture changed back to the one from Twilight Princess? Isn't the latest one available the one that should be used? 178.83.233.148 (talk) 14:22, 22 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

RfC about picture in the infobox

This article previously used a picture depicting this character as seen on Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but it has since been reverted to a much older one. Aren't video game character articles meant to use the latest depiction available? 21:07, 28 April 2019 (UTC)

I agree, the image should depict the most recent version of the character to remain consistent across the board according to WP:CONSISTENCY guidelines in case the character is mentioned in other articles across Wikipedia. Sixteensixtyfive (talk) 18:55, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
It should probably be the latest depiction from a main-line Zelda game, not a cross-franchise spin-off game. Smash has its own style that isn't quite the same as the Zelda franchise. ApLundell (talk) 19:49, 29 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

How much is too often? This is honestly an important question. From what I was able to see for myself, there has been at most 7 distinctively different depictions (or 9 if you include Sheik and Tetra) across 33 years. All of these depictions had at most a span of 4 years before a completely new design was introduced. Is 4 years really too often? 19:32, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
