Stalfos (July 7, 2007)

I'm incredibly sorry that this data was lost. There are, so far, three votes for this article, but my memory only serves to remember two of them: Hisak and Adam. However, I do know there was one last vote - Zebra something I believe? You all have no need to vote again. Once more, I'm sorry that this was deleted! --Jase 12:33, 3 June 2007 (PDT)

Now that all the votes have been properly signed, I make that 10 votes. Stafos is now the first user-nominated featured article on ZW.org! --Adam 01:20, 7 July 2007 (PDT)
  • I did NOT support this article. I said I would once the Four Swords sections were added. Hisak 13:38, 5 June 2007 (PDT)
  • The article now has a section for every game. For the record, my original nomination was on the grounds that the Stalfos has featured in every (?) Zelda game to date, and currently broadly fills all of the main requisites above. --Adam 14:01, 5 June 2007 (PDT)
  • I agree that we should have Stalfos as the featured article --DarkTriforce99 18:03, 5 June 2007 (PDT)
  • Now that all games are covered, I support this article for Featured Article. Hisak 17:18, 5 June 2007 (PDT)
  • I Support Stalfos as a featured article if the pictures are aligned a little neater. SeanMD80 17:51, 7 June 2007 (PDT)
I would rearrange the images, but I now have a weird screen resolution (1440 x 900) after upgrading to a widescreen TFT! I guess the images will display in a different place depending on the resolution the page is viewed at (hence the page width). What could be taken as the most common? 1024x768, 1280x1024? --Adam 13:38, 13 June 2007 (PDT)
  • Pretty flippin' good article! With a bit more information, maybe about other other games I would fully support it! I support it. 42bens 21:27, 13 June 2007 (PDT)
  • i agree with this and its been too long since that main page has got a picture lom678
  • this is a great article of one of the best enemies in the world of zelda and i also support it. twilightinthedark
  • This was one of my favorite enemies in Twilight Princess. I also support this Featured Artical! --74.79.59.143 18:05, 6 July 2007 (PDT)
  • This is a great article and it should be displayed and i think the stalfos are great commen enemies with the power of lower minibosses: victorygreymon
  • Stalfos are older than the Legend of Zelda itself (well not technically) and I'm pretty sure they've appeared in every Zelda game to date I don't think even the Octorock has managed that. --86.7.92.20 16:53, 1 November 2007 (EDT)
ZeldaInformer (August 1, 2007)

Zelda Informer, a promising new Zelda site that was released this monday (16.7.07). The project is organized by a group of ex-Zelda Universe members that eventually grew tired of ZU and decided to create a better site. The site content will be produced almost entirely by a group of Zelda theorists, originally formed over at Zelda Universe, called The Bombers. --Uncle Meat 7:20, 17 July 2007 (PDT)

  1. Having made some considerable edits to it, as well as it being the very first site listed on the Zelda Wiki to use the brand spanking new Infobox Website template, I'd like to throw my support behind this article. --Captain Cornflake 19:52, 17 July 2007 (PDT)
  2. The article gets my support, the guys over at ZI know what they're talking about, more so than any other group I've had the pleasure of knowing. Experience is priceless, and they have plenty of it.--Darknut King 20:20, 19 July 2007
  3. Ever expanding, the actual article itself is well written and concise and gives a valued look towards the website.--Yami 25:53 GMT, 19 July 2007
  4. ZI is a great site with a great community, so this article gets my support. --PyroMyrmidon 22:21 CDT, 19 July 2007
  5. Just starting out, this needs all of the exposure it can get so it can grow into a nice little community --Mirror Image 00:26 EST 20 July 2007
  6. It has the makings of a great site, but it does need all the exposure it can get--TheManInTheMoon 19:05, 20 July 2007 (PDT)
  7. ZI has gone quite a bit since it's launch, and the article is great. It gets my vote. --Vaati 09:40, 29 July 2007 (PDT)
  8. Best Zelda community that is being administrated by a very professional and respectful team. --the_Predator 18:49, 29 July 2007 (GMT 1)
  9. Best The Zelda News Magnum Opus --Leminnes 16:25, 29 July 2007 (EDT)
  10. one of the best articles about a differnt ite no opinions all facts. Victorywargreymon
  11. The more users the better for this site, and like others have said, it needs all the exposure it can get. I've only been at the site for a little while, and I've already had some great discussions. --Nick722 19:48, 29 July 2007 (PDT).
Lake Hylia (October 2, 2007)

Given that the article has recently been greatly extended, and that Lake Hylia is a frequently recurring location in many games in the series, I think it may be time that a place/location became our featured article. --Adam 12:15, 14 July 2007 (PDT)

  1. I support this one quite throughly since I I know how much work has gone into finding many of the images. Additionally I feel it is a prime example of the work that can be done even on an article about a place. 42bens 14:36, 14 July 2007 (PDT)
  2. I agree with others by supporting this article. It has indeed gone through alot of improvements to prove that it could qualify as a featured article. --Twilightinthedark 5:30, 14 July 2007 (EDT)
  3. I agree this should be the next featured article. --Zebazebra 08:21, 20 July 2007 (PDT)
  4. In my opinion, I would perfer Lake Hylia as a featured article becuase it's interesting to see the evolution of Lake Hylia in the past games and this article really does explain it.-- cosmo.vnz 12:20, 21 July (PDT)
  5. It's a good article, but the Twilight Princess section is too text-heavy and the Ocarina of Time picture looks really ugly on the page. Either way, it's the best candidate.Hisak 14:59, 31 July 2007 (PDT)
  6. I support this artical and agree it should be featured next. This is one of my favorite places within the Zelda series, and it's artical page looks great.--PrincessZelda TP 20:02, 8 August 2007 (PDT)
  7. I think its a cool article and it would be awesome as the first one people saw Victorygreymon
  8. This lake has appeared in many Zelda games and has changed a lot since A Link to the Past, I agree that this article should be featured next.--Twilight Shadow 18:57, 1 October 2007 (PDT)

In the interest of time, I'm going to say that next vote wins (in Lake Hylia vs. Zant). --Jase 06:55, 29 September 2007 (EDT)

...which means that Lake Hylia is our new featured article! (finally...) --Adam 18:41, 2 October 2007 (EDT)
Zant (October 16, 2007)

A somewhat more obvious choice, this article is extensive and detail-rich. And, love him or hate him, Zant makes for an un-deniably cool villain! --Adam 12:15, 14 July 2007 (PDT)

  1. Defiantly shows the great amount of work of many users on the wiki. I support it, but it is a bit obvious. 42bens 14:25, 14 July 2007 (PDT)
  2. One of the coolest villians ever, so I support it. --Mr. Armageddon 13:45, 23 July 2007 (PDT)
  3. I support zant he is awesome!!!--lom678
  4. Zant's article is looking very nice. Now we just need to get Midna's up to speed. --Jase 06:27, 5 August 2007 (PDT)
  5. A much superior article at this time to Lake Hylia. SeanMD80 20:39, 22 August 2007 (PDT)
  6. Zant is one of the strangest, most original characters, I say he deserves a chance in the spotlight --Mockingbird 00:39, 20 September 2007 (EDT)
  7. Zant is the villain of the greatest Zelda game ever so he deserves to be in the main page-- Draonjioel 20:12, 26 September 2007 (PDT)
  8. Zant's battle had porbably the most variety as well as the most amount of items needed to beat him. The final stage with him was by far the best due to being a sword-to-sword fight. I too recommend this character as our next article. Twilightinthedark 10:39, October 4 2007 (EDT)
  9. Zant is cool, he has awesome powers and is completely crazy!!!-- Twilight Shadow 12:13, October 5 2007 (PDT)
  10. Not a big Zant fan, but his article is very nice. Hisak 17:15, 9 October 2007 (EDT)
Dark Link (November 5, 2007)

This article of a secondary character is stock full of information the amount of which rivals most of the main character articles. It has information ranging from fan-theories to soundtrack themes and battle walkthroughs. Knil 22:40, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

  • Top of the page is really cluttered. Needs more work. --Hisak 23:39, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
  1. This is really a well-organized article that covers an important, but often overlooked character in the Zelda series. It explains all of the theories surrounding Dark Link, and explains as much of what we know about this very mysterious character. I definitely found this article to be an interesting read. Seraphim 13:15, 16 October 2007 (PDT)
  2. I always thought of Dark Link as a cool touch to the series. On his article page, I really like the details that were put in on his appearances within the series. I think the article page is quite up to par, and would like to see it on the main page as the next featured article! --PrincessZelda TP 19:56, 16 October 2007 (EDT)
  3. I agree. Dark Link deserves his time in the sun. The article covers nigh everything ever written or thought about Dark Link, so it's about as thorough as it's gonna get. An article that thorough deserves recognition. --Dinosaur bob 20:28, 16 October 2007 (EDT)
  4. I agree. --195.93.21.1 09:27, 20 October 2007 (EDT)
  5. It's a lot better now. Great article. --Hisak 01:11, 21 October 2007 (EDT)
  6. Dark Link is a very interesting character, and this article really explains everything there is to know about him. Agreed. --Linkeatspie 19:19, 23 October 2007 (EDT)
  7. Dark Link's history was always a mystery to me but thanks to this article me and my friends understand him more. I definitely nominate this. DarkCaptain3
  8. Dark Link is one of my favourites characters, I am sure it is a great article. Twilight Shadow 12:20, 1 November 2007
  9. I didn't know dark link was in orianca of ttime till i read this.User:zanramon3/11/07
  10. i love dark link he should be on it for being him.Bob23
Link (December 15, 2007)

Link is... well, if you don't know who Link is or why he's so important, what are you even doing here? This is a really high-quality article. --Adam 01:36, 5 November 2007 (EST)

  1. I concur. It's one of the most thorough, well-researched and well-put-together articles out there. Dinosaur bob 09:36, 5 November 2007 (EST)
  2. Heaps of information....and i said wow.--pwincessbri
  3. Nicely put together, with mounds of information. With an article page that looks as nice as this one, it definitely deserves some time in the spotlight. Not to mention that's its Links article, and well, come one, it's Link! :) --PrincessZelda TP 10:05, 10 November 2007 (EST)
  4. He's the most important part of the whole Legend of Zelda series, so why not feature the article? -Darklink2
  5. This really is one of the best articles on here, even though it seems a little obvious, it is going to be a featured article sooner or later. --Seraphim 13:00, 28 November 2007
  6. Link is awesome!!!--Zant397
  7. The Hero of the series is so cool!!! Draonjioel 22:04, 28 November 2007
  8. Link is and will always be the best!!! Twilight Shadow [EDT]
  9. Signed. Adzma 18:45, 8 December 2007 (EST)
  10. This is a good one for new people to the series to look at--Zanramon 07:44, 9 December 2007 (EST)
  11. Great article. Very neat and tidy.--Link hero of light 16:48, 11 December 2007 (EST)
Princess Zelda (January 28, 2008)

She's the title character, seems silly to not feature her. The article's also very neat, with a good gallery and information. Adzma 04:24, 22 December 2007 (EST)

  1. I agree as stated above. the article is very informational and organized.--van 18:13, 23 December 2007 (EST)
  2. Very well written. I'm surprised no one's nominated this before. --Hisak 23:45, 23 December 2007 (EST)
  3. A very nice article indeed! Like Link's, it has a lot of information and is well put together. It also seems fitting to have her's featured next after Link's! :) It has my vote! --PrincessZelda TP 16:11, 24 December 2007 (EST)
  4. Great article--Link hero of light 17:12, 25 December 2007 (EST)
  5. For me this article is excellent. --Twilight_Shadow 23:05, 17 January 2008 (EST)
  6. Neat, tidy article.--Article and Picture Voter 22:00, 18 January 2008 (EST)
  7. Zelda's article has to be the successor to Link's. Plus, it's one of the best articles on the wiki. --Adam (talk) 12:43, 20 January 2008 (EST)
  8. yeah the series is @#^$#& named after her she should be featured --Oni 27 January 2008
  9. I'd have to pick Zelda because she plays a semi-vital role in all the Zelda games. --Vgm3985
  10. She is the title character and the article is in good condition, it has my vote. --Mockingbird 23:51, 27 January 2008 (EST)
Link's Crossbow Training (February 13, 2008)

I think the article is rather well done, and has about all the information it can have without going into a full-on walkthrough. Anyone else? Ando 21:21, 19 January 2008 (EST)

  1. I can't believe how much info we have on this game - we have more than Wikipedia! Definitely voting for this one. --Jase 08:01, 20 January 2008 (EST)
  2. I was just about to nominate this article.--Link hero of light 11:09, 20 January 2008 (EST)
  3. great introduction to the game--Sutty08 13:59, 20 January 2008 (EST)
  4. Definitely an article worthy of being featured. Adzma 19:33, 28 January 2008 (EST)
  5. The article's looking great now (and, although it's pretty much finished, I may finally be able to contribute now since I finally bought the game!) --Adam (talk) 16:59, 30 January 2008 (EST)
  6. I for one, think this game is just great. I vote for it.--Luroberto 23:05, 02 February 2008 (EST)
  7. For sure! The article page looks very good! And even though I have yet own it; the game looks and sounds like it is beyond what I expected it to be so...yes! --PrincessZelda TP 16:55, 7 February 2008 (EST)
  8. This is easily one of the best articles out of the ones I've read, even though it's not my kind of game. --Douken 17:34, 7 February 2008 (EST)
  9. Fun game i like it! --ZS-Samus 2:55, 12 February 2008 (EST)
  10. Awesome game its super freaking awesome!!!!--lom678 4:17, 13 February 2008 (EST)
Dodongo (February 15, 2008)

There cool and have been in Zelda for some time now. --Lom678 8:41, 20 December 2007

  1. Awesome creatures, No way I would live down not voting for them.Nice article, very informative, and a lot a pictures.--User:Terminianman 12:54, 2 January 2007
  2. Great article. Plenty of information (probably as much as an article on Dodongos can have), a pictures are excellent. Ando 11:16, 20 January 2008 (EST)
  3. Great article--Link hero of light 18:55, 8 February 2008 (EST)
  4. The article has a bunch of information.--Article and Picture Voter 12:02, 10 February 2008 (EST)
  5. Cool enemy--Stripe4:20, 13 February 2008 (EST)
  6. Dodongo's are pretty cool and this article has good info.--Trogdor 6:44, 13 February 2008 (EST)
  7. I like these guys--Zelda44 3:13, 14 February 2008 (EST)
  8. This one is winning so it should be featured--Ripper 3:16 14 February 2008 (EST)
  9. I love these guys!--ZS-Samus 6:23 15 February 2008 (EST)
  10. Im all for this!-- Stalfo 9:28 15 February 2008 (EST)
Moblin (February 18, 2008)

Now that this article has had an extensive rewrite, I'd say it's of a standard worthy of being featured. --Adam 14:19, 16 October 2007 (EDT)

  • It's a good article, but the Minish Cap section is too bare-bones for me to vote for it. --Hisak 20:04, 16 October 2007 (EDT)
  • I think this simple monster, not one that has a lot to write about, but basics. That article only has this kind of things. Also, the Great Moblin is a boss and it should have its own page. --ZS09

OK, well I nominated it based on Jason's comments on the talk page; since the revision he was talking about, it seems to have had all the necessary improvements. I agree that the Minish Cap section needs more than just the quotes, I'll see what I can do. But I'm not sure if the Great Moblin should be given it's own page as a boss (bearing in mind I haven't played the Oracle games, but from the text in the article it seems he doesn't fight Link like a regular boss). --Adam 02:36, 17 October 2007 (EDT)

  1. Less discombobulated than "Dark Link". SeanMD80 21:17, 18 October 2007 (EDT)
  2. I agree with Sean I guess I'll vote for this one.--Green 01:41, 19 October 2007 (EDT)
  3. This one has been nominated for a long time, and now that I've taken the time to read it, I've seen that it really is a very good article. Seraphim 9:05, 19 December 2007 (EDT)
  4. Moblins have been around for a while and it's a pretty good article. It was hard to decide between this one and Dodongo though.--Icytriforc 18:04, 16 January 2008 (EST)
  5. Moblins are one of gannons oldest henchmen.-- master peahat 10:22
  6. This has been here for ages and deservers to be fetured--Zanramon 16:22, 13 February 2008 (EST)
  7. This thing has to go so the only way is to get it featured--Stripe 12:15 PM 16 February 2008 (EST)
  8. Get this thing off of here--Trogdor 7:40 PM 18 February 2008 (EST)
  9. ALMOST THERE!--Zelda44 8:43 PM 18 February 2008 (EST)
  10. MOBLIN WINS! FATALITY! --Lom678 8:46 PM 18 February 2008 (EST)
Majora's Mask (Boss) (March 8, 2008)

The Mask not the game. This is an awesome boss and should be featured--Stripe 6:37 13 February 2008 (EST)

Support
  1. I agree with Stripe. The second part of the boss was my favorite. --ShadowLink45
  2. Yeah, I'd say now I've merged Majora into the article, and with a few other minor fixes it now meets all the criteria for being featured. Good article, and a good boss! —Adam [ talk ] 12:19, 16 February 2008 (EST)
  3. I agree. Majora wasn't exactly the most challenging final boss, but the article is good. Adzma 05:49, 17 February 2008 (EST)
  4. Changing my vote. I loved Majora. He was a one of a kind boss, and the article page looks nicely done! --SmashBrosSheik 11:13, 17 February 2008 (EST)
  5. Majora, so fun to beat up, especially as Fierce Deity =) This gets my vote -User:Zeldagirl93@legacy41958063
  6. Dear God thank you. MM NEEDS to have some spotlight. It was a great game and boss and it goes widely unnoticed.--Oni 19:54, 6 March 2008 (EST)
  7. He needs more fans. (Unsigned vote by Linklink - see rule 6 above)
  8. I agree. A great boss for a great game. It should be featured. --Vaati 17:04, 3 March 2008 (EST)
  9. I also agree. The article is well organized and detailed as far as content is concerned. There are enough images within the article for clarity. Majora was also an entertaining, unique endgame boss.--Rdnckj258 12:05, 5 March 2008 (EST)
  10. WE HAVE A WINNER!--lom678 6 March 2008 (EST) (It clearly states above "If you do not sign your opinion or second, your vote WILL NOT be counted". Votes must be signed by the voter, if that rule's not followed it may as well not exist.)
  11. The coolest boss exept for ganon sword fight--Zanramon 17:42, 7 March 2008 (EST)
Pedestal of Time (April 6, 2008)

Definitely the coolest pedestal ever since it holds the Master Sword. --Seablue254 14:55, 29 March 2008 (EDT)

Support
  1. Oh, wow, I was NOT expecting what I saw when I clicked the article name. This is actually a well-written article that cites its sources, is well-organized, has good images, and even has a section regarding a Hamtaro reference that I had no knowledge of! I approve. --Ando (T : C) 20:27, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
  2. The article page is nicely done. It has decent snapshots, and a good amount of info. I support this one! --SmashBrosSheik 20:59, 1 April 2008 (EDT)
  3. I like it, sort of. It may be slightly shorter than most featured articles, but it is very well organized and is full of information about a topic that you wouldn't think there'd be much information about.--Rdnckj258 15:44, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
  4. Yeah, I like this article a lot, especially compared to the other featured article nominations. And I find the Hamtaro reference to be really funny.--Magnus orion 17:29, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
  5. To be honest, when I first saw this nominated, my heart sank. But on reading the article, I realised it's an excellent example example of just what can be done with such a seemingly mundane and trivial subject. —Adam [ talk ] 12:23, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
  6. This is what one would call an inspiration, my friend. If only more articles about seemingly-insignificant topics could be given such dedicated attention... I actually learned something new about Zelda from this, unlike most featured articles. --Douken 13:49, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
  7. I didn't even know this article exsisted, but I read it through and it's actually a really good article. It for sure deserves to have that little triforce icon on the top right-hand side of the article :).--Link hero of light 19:06, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
  8. This sounds like one of the articles that would be a stub. I half expected a page that said "the rock where the Master Sword is". It's a good article, nice pictures, sources cited, and how can you say no to that adorable cameo? --Yumil 14:08, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
  9. I'm going to change my vote. It's got some great pictures, and it's well written for a topic with not much attention. Plus, the Pedestal of Time in Hamtaro? Pople deserve to know about that! --Emeryn 11:01, 5 April 2008 (EDT)
  10. This article deserves featuring. A lot of interesting information. --Yuvorias, 6 April
Triforce (May 17, 2008)

I mean, come on! The Triforce? Surely as vital a component of the series as Link, Zelda, or Ganon himself. As we all know, it's the driving force at the centre of almost every plotline, and a great article to boot. I may add some more sources for good measure... —Adam [ talk ] 17:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Support
  1. I like this article, and not just because it fits most of the descriptions above, but also because it is a vital part of the Zelda series. --David (T : C) 20:07, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
  2. Just a good Article what else is there to say?--The Legend of Zelda 00:31, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
  3. This article is basically about the heart of the Zelda universe, the Triforce, its an absolute must for the featured article and its written well too giving info on its creation and such -Kresh64 22:56, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
  4. I think so, the triforce is a item since the REAL zelda. --Legend of Link 01:05, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
  5. The Triforce deserves its time in the spotlight.--Emma 04:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
  6. I like it, it's an integral part of the Zelda universe, and should be featured, but it needs a little more than just one citation.--Rdnckj258 21:56, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
  7. Such a pivitol (hope spelled that right) element of the Zelda storyline, and a good article to boot, deserves to be featured --Emeryn 22:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
  8. The Triforce: The essence of the Goddesses, the thing that Ganon is always trying to steal but gets beat up by Link anyway! --[[User:Zeldagirl93@legacy41958063}Zeldagirl93]] 15:50, 9 May 2008 (EST)
  9. It's a great article, with good pictures and loads of information! The Triforce is also so important in the Zelda series. --Mariofan9 19:28, 14 May 2008 (EST)
  10. Basically being the focal point in most, if not all Zelda games, it should by far be featured next. So, with that, posting vote number 10!! XD Plus, each piece has detailed information. --SmashBrosSheik 01:02, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
Opposition
  1. I know, what am I doing opposing this? Simple - everyone knows about the triforce. Why don't we nominate articles about the lesser known aspects of the Zelda world?

  1. I'm sorry I have to oppose of this article. When referencing the origin of the Master Sword, you state that blade could have been made from the Sages during the sealing of Ganon. However it has already been stated that in OoT the Sword was present before Ganon even posses the Triforce, giving no reason for the Sages to interfere in his matters. As well during a meeting at E3 Miyamoto has made note that Twilight Princess takes place 100 years after Ocarina of Time, as well the TP Sages are different from the OoT Sages, and again the Blade was present before TP and technically OoT. (Sorry for so long) Also the Sage's that 'created' the blade would not have been the same sages that sealed Ganon seeing that Rauru was the last remaining Sage of the past seven, so it would technically have to be those sages.

The article is really well written, especially for being mostly a single users work. However, something that annoys me, and it annoys me really overall at ZW, is the quotes and references. As I mentioned here: http://www.zeldawiki.org/Talk:Sacred_Realm I feel that quotes that are referenced in the article should simply be in the article, not at the bottom creating more work for the reader. The article references them many times. The best example I can give is when The Great Deku Tree says blah blah... your interpreting for the reader what the GDT said instead of just quoting me what he said. It would cut out usless sentences of explaining it and replace it with quotes. As a reader, it's annoying you are making me do extra work and interpreting quotes for me. Nathanial Rumphol-Janc 07:38, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

I understand what you are saying, but that's how all articles are on the wiki, that's not anything unique. And all it takes is a simple click of the mouse to go straight to the quote, that's why we put the link in the text. And as far as interpreting it, that's for people who may not understand the actual quote or may misunderstand its meaning. There's really no way to change those things, those are given for any article on the entire wiki. We're actually making less work for readers I would have thought by helping them understand what the quotes mean and by not making a mess of the main text by putting them in the references section where they are a simple mouse-click away. Link87 15:14, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
I am well aware that's how all articles are done, and I find it too annoying. This place isn't for that discussion - I suggest taking it to that pages talk page where I brought it up. Nathanial Rumphol-Janc 16:24, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
This is about the article's merit though, not about precedents. I respect that you don't like the reference precedent, but that has nothing to do with this article's merit. Link87 18:09, 22 October 2009 (UTC)
I don't think a featured article needs to necessarily be 100% perfect. It can have some work that might still need to be done, but there is nothing objectively wrong with this page at all. --Xizor 23:40, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
Yes and no Xizor. To me if were going to feature something, it should be as close to perfect as it can be, don't you agree? You wont "feature" a section of your site unless it is close to perfection, right? Same case as I view articles. Nathanial Rumphol-Janc 09:17, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
No article, or anything for that matter, is going to be 100% perfect Nathan. This is about as close as it gets, and to expect it to be absolutely perfect is unreasonable. Link87 16:46, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
Bomb (March 13, 2010)

Bomb

Not so long ago, this article was an embarrassment to Zelda Wiki. It was nothing but an unorganized mess. Axiomist asked me one day if I could improve it, so I've worked hard to take what I know about bombs, and what others knew that I did not, and I built this article up to meet the standards for a featured article. It is informative, to the point, has appropriate images, and has tons of references. I took it pretty seriously. I believe that this article, along with any others about themes and subjects that have endured throughout the Zelda series, is very important to the Wiki, and it would be nice to see others in the shape it's in now. I've had plenty of help putting it together, so it's mostly rock solid. The enemy lists at the bottom of the page are a little arrangement I came up with and Axiomist organized to be tidier. Lists like these will show up on other item pages, so consider this a ground-breaker. Noble Wrot 20:41, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

  1. The bomb article seems to have ignited a ZW reorganizing revolution, finally the obvious format for dividing articles is being thrown out for a more aesthetically pleasing layout. This has gone from one of the ugliest sloppiest content dumps to a well structured page-suitable to be the mold for many other rashly grouped subjects. Axiomist (talk) 23:47, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
  2. I'm all for it. The page looks nice, and has a good amount of images. However, some parts of it look a little bit messy, but I'm not sure that can be changed. I'll try to add some info from the Tingle games to it and make it complete. Again, great page! —Alter  {T C B H } 06:28, December 16, 2009 (UTC)
  3. For a phoenix-like story, this article is not too shabby. This is a complete insight into one of the cooler Zelda weapons and as the role model of the enemy list for future similar articles, this page gets my vote. — ciprianotalk 07:57, 18 December 2009 (UTC)

  9. At first I was thinking no when this was first proposed. It was missing information and some information was downright false, particularly about the Tingle Bomb.

# I don't know. I think it could use some sections on the games, and not just the kinds of bombs. I once tried to do that for the article, but then I lost everything and didn't bothered to try it again. Though I do suppose it's been improved a bit, I think it's needs more.

  • I've spotted what I consider to be quite a large omission in this article; there's barely any mention of Princess Zelda's role as the crucial Seventh Sage (or Maiden) in ALttP, OoT and FSA. I'd suggest that this needs to be rectified, or at least discussed here, before this becomes Featured. —Adam [ talk ] 19:49, 4 May 2009 (UT
  • The current content is great - however it is lacking as Adam mentions. It is up to featured standard but needs more I feel. I feel there needs to be more pictures; namely Fado, Medli, Makar and Laruto, with some more details on them. Furthermore, an example of this lacking is in the Twilight Princess section, which no where mentions them residing in the Arbiter's Ground's Mirror Chamber. Adam is right that it needs more 'Zelda' and may be worth covering the Sage-Oocca relationship potential, under theory of course.There is also lots of blank space. - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 07:39, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Fishing (November 30, 2010)

Fishing

File:Tpfishing.jpg
One notable aspect of Zelda Wiki is our method of placing similar content from varying games into fewer articles. Fishing is an article representing that, our inclusion of references, relevant images, cross referencing related pages, up-to-date info, and despite having brief how-to sections; the article never seems dominated by with a guidish style. Fishing is certainly worthy of being the standard for all other mini-game articles to follow. Axiomist (talk) 06:14, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

  1. I guess I'll be the jerk and strike at this article at nine votes. Looking at it, it's still no different than when I left my neutral comment over a year ago. It feels quite messy, and I think more content needs to be consolidated here and from other articles. It's great as it is, but I think featured articles should be judged on individual potential rather than an across-the-board status, and this article could be a lot better. —Alter  {T C B H } 19:08, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

  • First off, I want to support this, because I think the article's great. But I'm still concerned about the status of this article alongside others (mainly Fishing Hole). I know others have shared these concerns, which have mainly been discussed here and here. The two key suggestions were either to create a Fishing template which could be used on various different article (e.g. Fish, Fishing Rod, Fisherman) to unite the information, or to merge Fishing with Fishing Hole. Personally, I think either or both would be good, because as it stands I'm not entirely happy with the way the information on the subject of Fishing is distributed. I've held back on adding Merge templates for the moment, as that would disqualify this article... —Adam [ talk ] 13:10, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

  • Both articles have been extensively reworked since the last comments on those talk pages, I'll make the case to merge the Fishing Rod content into Fishing, and get that template going.

A staple of just about any Zelda game, always beautiful, the article is no exception. It covers all the appearances of the castle. It goes into detail but doesn't go so far as to dull you out halfway through. You're engaged in reading it the whole way.
