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)

• Zebazebra, :) --172.142.112.31 08:41, 5 June 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)

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).

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)

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)

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.User:Bob23

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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

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
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)

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

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

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)

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.--Matt 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! --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)

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? I mean, I am getting fairly tired that every featured article is always about the most known aspects of the series. --Nathan 0:17, 12 May 2008 (CT)

We must be doing something right here. This is one of the most viewed articles on ZeldaWiki.org. It is well-written, has plenty of sources, good formatting, and is quite thorough. A great choice.--Matt 02:29, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

1. Amazing article.--Toon Link 03:55, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
2. Exactly. This article is amazing, fits all of the criteria, and even allowed fan art into the ZeldaWiki. --Seablue254 12:59, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
3. My vote for the month goes here. Possibly one of the best ZW.org articles.--Link hero of light 18:45, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
4. Got my vote too. I'm surprised that it wasn't nominated earlier.--Rdnckj258 19:36, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
5. Ah, this was to be the one I nominated, should the Master Sword have failed! I can only repeat that this article is very well done. --Yuvorias, 9:16, 4 June 2008 (EST)
6. Midna is a very interesting character with a twisted storyline and origin. --Chaosmaster03, 11:43, 4 June 2008 (EST)
7. This article has to win. Midna is a great character and this article is rich with descriptive words. Not to mention the many great pictures.--Article and Picture Voter 04:04, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
8. This such an awesome article. It just has to get picked.--Nittles 15:54, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
9. Midna has appeared in Featured Image before, so the next Logical Step is to Include her Article--Jedi 10:55, 11 June 2008 (UTC)Jedi
10. I like that atical! Let's go for it!--User:Linkshouldbemyboyfriend

With the nomination of the Pedestal of Time recently, the Master Sword must be the next logical step. A well-written article that cites sources, and the majority of its pictures are simply beautiful. --Yuvorias 9:24, 15 April 2008 (EST)

1. Now that I cleaned up the cross-reference, this article is great. Now it can be a featured article.--Matt 17:28, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
2. The Legend of Zelda 00:08, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
3. It's true. And all of you know it. And the article is awesome. A triple threat. --Seablue254 12:24, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
4. It's the main weapon in most all Zelda games. It's awesome!--Zeldagirl93 15:40 18 May 2008 (EST)
5. The Master Sword is how the Hero of Time (or Light, or Winds...) beats Ganon. It's the reason that Ganon hasn't taken over Hyrule yet! Of course it should be a featured article. --Mathboyzld 15:12, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
6. Yeah, the article's pretty nicely put together overall, and it's an important subject. I'd say it deserves a feature. --Adam 21:20, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
7. Pretty cool. I second. --Zeldablade 12:54, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
8. A classic weapon, which is one of the most powerful swords in the series. it is also the base of one of the best games in the world, the legend of zelda: the ocarina of time, as well as the newest game in the seires, the twilight princess. so, yeah i second it. --sheikahlord 20:27, 03 June 2008 (UTC)
9. The master sword may not be in every game,but it's the best sword there is.-TwilightPrincess12
10. The master sword is EPIC.-lom678

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. (God I hope I make sense ^-^)--Ausaka 23:46, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Very nice article, more of the work of (the sadly absent) IfIHaveTo. Although the references are slightly excessive IMO ;) —Adam ^(talk) 17:41, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

1. All Zelda fans know about the Triforce, but some of the newer fans probably don't know much about the Gerudo race. I think the Triforce is very important, but more people would learn more with this article. --Triforceboy4 21:49, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
2. It's an interesting article. Maybe a few too many references, but. I'll give it my vote. --Yuvorias, 9:49, 30 May 2008 (EST)
3. I'm just glad that someone is putting something up about the Gerudo. I've been searching for information from them for some time.--Ausaka, 23:50, 30 May 2008 (EST)
4. I second this. I think this race is just too important not to at least be notified on the front page. ZeldaGirl96 22:54, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
5. I'm with Triforceboy4. This is an interesting read and very informative. I didn't even know what the Gerudo race was. It deserves to be a Featured Article. (Unsigned vote by Master Storm — see rule 6.)
6. :O Not nominated yet?! Well here's a vote! Besides, very informative article :D —Seablue 13:32, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
7. This is an excellent example of what an article should be. It has many references. The sections are long and detailed. The references in this article are also excellent examples of what the Cite Template is now capable of doing. This article, along with the Ganon article, was actually the incentive for the new features that were added to the Cite Template earlier today... wait, I guess with UTC it is yesterday. This article deserves featured status.Matt ^(Talk) 03:22, July 4, 2008 (UTC)
8. This article needs to be nominated. It has been up for nearly three months, is very informative, and is well cited.--Rdnckj258 22:24, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
9. Well wrote and presented (Unsigned vote by AndrewSutty — see rule 6.)
10. This article is one of the most important articles because I almost had no idea who Gerudos were until I read the Gerudo article. That is why I am voting for the Gerudo article to be the featured article.--Akki 20:44, 12 July 2008 (EST)
11. Others seem to like it so I will to--Mais rapido se voce 19:49, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
12. Out of all the races in zelda the Gerudos are my favorite(except ganondork). TwilightPrincess12 13:30, July/21/08(EST)

This is a very detailed article. It also happens to be one of our most-viewed articles on the wiki. The article also has many references. That is not an easy thing to do with such a common enemy. It is well-organized. There are several images of good quality throughout the page. It is a great article. Time to make it featured.Matt ^(Talk) 07:03, July 22, 2008 (UTC)

1. i personally support this. it is a very nice article, not too long, and not too many references. --Zoraluigi
2. And my August vote goes to...Darknut! It's a beautifully written article, very descriptive, has a fair amount of references and looks like something that belongs in that FA spot. On a personal note however, it'd be nice to have my rewrite of the "Legend of Zelda" part featured ;) —Seablue 22:41, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
3. I like this nomination because I have already nominated the Darknut picture so it will fit well to the Main Page. --Draonjioel
4. Say what you want but I LOVE Darknut battles and I'm surprised it hasn't been featured yet. I love the descriptions.ZeldaGirl96 18:32, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
5. Yeah, I've always liked this one, and with the recent expansions of the sections for the earlier games, and merging with other Darknut articles, it's in great shape to be featured. —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 20:49, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
6. One of the most formidable enemies eveeeeer! deserves a feature! Harryhas5 16:18, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
7. I'll support this article this time around. The Darknut is usually the most formidable non-boss enemy in the series. The ercent edits make it a much better article than it was when it was last nominated.--Rdnckj258 17:47, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
8. This is the article that has got most of the votes, so i guess i´m in too... Darknuts are cool anyway.#Olle93 23:48 ,August 11, 2008
9. Totally! The article is awesome, has a ton of pictures, and are one of the few enemies that actually matches Link's abilities! Yoshimon 01:31, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
10. What can I say that hasn't already been said? It's a good article. HylianWannabe 17:04, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

An important article explaining an important part of all Zelda Games. UPDATE: Nayru's Statue now included.—Seablue 12:46, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

1. Now this is an interesting nomination! I'd almost forgotten about this one, and it does tick a lot of boxes. Most of the content is down to one particularly dedicated editor, who did a very nice job - I'd say this ticks all the right boxes :) —Adam ^{[ talk ]}18:25, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
2. First, let me tell you that I was molgeratwinmold99 but I forgot my password :P But anyway, even if they're mentioned or not, Naryu, Din, and Farore are worth a featured article. Molgeratwinmold55 13:05, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
3. I think it's a very good article; it deserves to be featured! --Emeryn 23:24, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
4. Could have a pic of Nayru's statue, but a good article anyway --Bolter1
5. It's definitely a good article, and not only does it show off the triangle of the goddesses, but also all of the triangles in the game, and how they're linked together to each other. --Sk8torchic 12:21, 5 August 2008
6. The article is full of information of great quality, great pictures. It is absolutely worth the Featured status. --Mariofan9 18:36, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
7. i love the Golden Goddesses!CoreyPotter 17:19, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
8. I agree. it would make a cool topic. !Mdodge27
9. I'm supporting this. Much of the backstory of the zelda series is based upon interactions with the goddesses, as well as actions by them.--Rdnckj258 15:16, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
10. Vote number 10! This is a good article, and it is important to the main story running through the Zelda series. Hopefully this vote will get it nominated.--HylianWannabe 21:08, 02 October 2008 (UTC)

1. Not until a picture for Nayru is included. --Felicia's Champion, 20:45, 15 July 2008 (EST)
   • Problem resolved, and vote withdrawn by Felicia's Champion.[1] —Ando (talk) 01:53, 27 July 2008 (UTC)
2. I like this article a lot but it's divided too much and it's kind of messed up. --Gluemann267
3. Half the images in this article are not cited properly. Articles that don't have legitimate images are not worthy of featured status. Mases 20:21, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

A little known boss among the majority of Zelda players here. Likely three or four of us have actually fought her. Her article is in much better shape than Onox's article. It fits the criteria. Update: Plus, it'd be the first featured media of the Oracles games! --Felicia's Champion 04:08, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

1. You've been working on this for a long time, Yuvorias, and your efforts have payed off. Very nice article. —Seablue 12:35, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
2. A very good article, detailed, lengthy and well catergorized. A boss from one of the lesser known (but still very fun) games. An excellent choice for a featured article.Poe 23:25, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
3. I remember having to beat Veran, and I agree that she is a little known but still important villain. I think being a featured article will make more aware of her.Onen 21:12, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
4. A lesser known villain, but a very cool one, and a nice article to boot! One of my favorite final boss battles. --Majora'sMoonwalk 17:11, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
5. One the best bosses in the zelda series, i think it was one of the best there could be for an article to feature.--Onox13 20:57, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
6. A great enemy in the Zelda series. It's sad she's not well-known. The article is great, supported with good images. Let's give it the featured status! --Mariofan9 08:01, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
7. A well put together article, and a villian like this deserves to be known a bit more.--Icytriforc 20:49, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
8. A well writen artical deffeninaty deserves this chance if not for the villian than for the eccelent write up.--danitee2 17:41, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
9. After reading this article Ive decided to vote for it. Its well written and has no strong oppositions, so I think its Veran's time to shine. --Kresh64 02:31, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
10. It certainly has a lot more content than I expected for such a character. It is well-organized, it is easy to follow, and it has plenty of good images. Worth featuring.Matt ^(Talk) 04:32, November 24, 2008 (UTC)

1. sorry but how come naryu has a link and ambi dosent?Dragonstetraforce 16:10, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

• Because there's almost nothing to write about for Ambi, so she doesn't need her own article. Nayru, however, does have more to write about, and that portion makes sense being merged with the Nayru (Oracle) article. —Ando (talk) 16:42, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

And the prize for most improved article goes to...

The improvement in this article, even in as little as the last 3 months, is admirable and a credit to the hard work of all who've contributed. It's gone from a stub with an article about Gorons in TP sandwiched in the middle, to a well-rounded article which meets all of the above criteria. A fine example of what we can all achieve! —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 20:00, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

1. One or two more references couldn't hurt this article, but I have to agree with Adam on this article. Each and every section of this article is very detailed and lengthy. Now to fix the Zora article... --Felicia's Champion 23:06, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
2. This article has been in the fixing for awhile, and I believe it now has enough information to be featured. I do agree with Felicia's Champion, it could use a few more references, though.— Steve 23:39, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
3. With the new reference work done to this article, I'd love to see this thing become featured. Do it! —Ando (talk) 01:11, 21 January 2009 (UTC)
4. I dare say that it has enough references to become a featured articles. Few sections could use a few more references, but all is good. The Goron Moron 04:36, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
5. I have long pushed for the improvement of this article. Almost since I joined. I'm very happy to see it finally get to this level. It really shows what we can do when we work together. The article is nice and detailed. An amazing accomplishment.Matt ^(Talk) 21:55, January 31, 2009 (UTC)

• Well written is a joke. It sounds like an 8 yr old on a rant. 'they can walk through lava and roll in balls and have strenght and power.' Stuff like that is all over the page. But it is shaping up and I want to support it. I worked on it a little but I have no more aspirins.Axiomist (talk) 02:00, 13 February 2009 (UTC)*voter now supportive.

Finally a lengthy page not concerning characters or games. Informative and concise enough to be a resource for all of the series applicable titles. Interesting to read and get the whole picture of the function as gaming progressed. As a bonus, it could serve as an example of what other articles spanning throughout the series could be.Axiomist (talk) 04:29, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

1. I'm for it. It' got a nice amount of images, very lengthy in size, nicely laid out, etc. I think this would make a great featured article. —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 16:40, 17 March 2009 (UTC)

4. Decent length, good grammar usage, and very good referencing. Regardless of not being a character or place it is deserving of being featured in it's own right. --Nathan 06:38, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
5. A few months ago this article was scrappily written and badly laid out, however the work that has been put into it by some dedicated editors has made it great. The images are relevant and good quality, the content it well written and everything is covered. Definitely featured material. - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 12:08, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
6. This article is written extremely well with few/no mistakes. It's unique in being that it isn't just a normal enemy/character/dungeon/game/etc., rather it describes how warping is used throughout the series. Shnappy 07:41, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
7. The article has more than enough info! It is well written and provides a complete explanation of all varieties of warping in every game. EzloSpirit 00:57, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

10. The author worked hard on it. It's a pretty full article. Make it happen. Noble Wrot 04:58, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

Although it was mostly written by one single member, this page has become an article to be proud of. Excellent writing skills detailing every single appearance of the Sacred Realm, well-placed pictures that go along with the section involved, and it's got sources to back up almost every single statement. Truly an outstanding article. Dany36 20:59, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

1. This page is worthy of being featured because though it has been mostly brought up to date by one individual, there are many who laid the groundwork for that up scaling. It also has become quite a page to behold as opposed to its original version, which is great for a page about such an important piece of Zelda Lore. -- Xizor 02:00, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
2. I am pleased with how it turned out, and it looks very nice with the references in place. -- Link87 13:25, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
3. This is exactly the caliber of article that ought to be featured. The read never seemed redundant, references are exactly where they need to be, the layout with the images is even impressive. Congrats to the writers for such an amazing feat, it's truly become a valuable resource for LoZ fans seeking info on the Sacred Realm. Axiomist (talk) 02:10, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
4. I'll throw my chips on this one. It reads nicely, isn't repetitive, and has good images/layout. It does seem to be a little biased when it comes to the timeline, but it may just be me. Anyway, good page. —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 03:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

8. The article has superior flow and readability, with precisely-cited references, for a Zelda region that still hasn't been properly explored in the games! — cipriano^talk 01:08, 2 November 2009 (UTC)
9. This article has really seen a lot of overhaul and fixing from what I've seen in its history. We can't deny how great it's become, and I think it would be a wondrous addition to the featured lineup. Very informative to the readers, and a great long article to show off ;) But in all seriousness, I give this my full support.—Justin^(Talk) 18:09, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
10. Vote number ten! As stated above, the article is lengthy, a "good read", and just down right impeccable. This is the kind of article ZW needs, and should be a good role model for what other articles should be like. Also, it shows editors what we mean by "quality", and should give other wikis a "run for their money!" —Austin ^{(NIWA Operative)} 04:55, 15 February 2010 (UTC)

1. I can't really support this one. It is way too story like. It's wording is too overly elaborate, it's way too dramatized, and it still seems like it is too wordy. It needs some serious work before it should be featured.Matt ^(Talk) 18:37, February 14, 2010 (UTC)

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==

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. — cipriano^talk 07:57, 18 December 2009 (UTC)
4. I like it. It's well written, well organized, has a nice gallery and a lot of good references. Definitely feature worthy.Mandi ^Talk 06:26, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
5. Excellent article that details every kind of bomb that has appeared in every Zelda game to date along with well-placed pictures and references to top it all off. Dany36 18:45, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
6. It's well done. I think we've really cleaned it up and made it into a functioning article. It has my vote! And Dany, your argument looks a LOT like a supporting one...—Justin^(Talk) 20:15, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
7. Great article, information is all correct, and it even inspired my topic for my next article at ZeldaInformer. Needless to say, a great piece of work. Nathanial Rumphol-Janc 07:28, 15 January 2010 (UTC)
8. I never knew there could be so much concise information about Bombs in one place. This article is "the bomb". =P --Xizor 06:05, 3 February 2010 (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. Now though everything seems to be in order and a few bumps were smoothed over. Still room for improvement of course, but I'm comfortable supporting it now.Matt ^(Talk) 15:38, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
10. Good article. "Someone has set us up the bomb!!!" - S.B.44 ^[T] 01:17, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

# 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.

==Sage==

With the work of the Zelda Wiki community, this article has become a well written, and informative page. Quite an accomplishment to everyone who contributed.Mandi ^Talk 04:28, 19 March 2009 (UTC)

1. It seems to me to be rather well organized. And it has a very appealing overall layout. And it certainly fits the other criteria.Matt ^(Talk) 23:37, March 28, 2009 (UTC)
2. I would vote for this one because it goes more in depth in Sages than Rauru's page does. --Skermefaten 23:51, 2 April 2009 (UTC)Skermefaten
3. Very good article, articulate, and an excellent example of what subject directories could be with the links to the main article and well written summaries on each topic. All images are relevant, clear and useful. And a solid mix of references to boot. Axiomist (talk) 03:14, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
4. Very organized, and quite easily read. It flows well, and the pictures couldn't be placed onscreen any better or more relevantly. →Kochjr 21:18, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
5. Well written and organized, it really delves into all of the Sages and it more than qualifies for featured status.--Kresh64 22:04, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
6. I think it was very nice and showed more info.--Link6767 20:54, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
7. I think this was a good article, written well and good info. A very good article. Well written.User:Supermann61 11:48 May 8, 2009
8. I think sages are a pretty cool guy. Eh seals Ganon and doesn't afraid of anything. - S.B.44 ^[T] 02:12, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
9. I think that it is well written, along with a lot of great information. Nice job. User: Psychoboo13
10. I like it. Has a lot of good information and images. - AtrumLevis  (My Talk Page) (My Contributions) 16:27, 9 May 2010 (UTC)

1. I really can't give this my approval. What is there is well written, but there are, as has been noted in the neutral comments, some clearly missing aspects to it. While what we have is really good, it's not the full and complete picture. I simply can't ignore that and be neutral, or support it. The article is not complete, and thus I gotta say no. Nathanial Rumphol-Janc 07:08, 22 October 2009 (UTC)

• 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)
• I agree with Adam and Mel, the current content and organization is great, but perhaps a bit more information on Zelda's role would definitely sway me to vote for the page. Link87 22:10, 12 October 2009 (UTC)

• The article needs some more references and quotes from the Japanese versions of the games to highlight version discrepancies between the sages' roles. First, they were not Princess Zelda's tutors in the Japanese version of TP.Ganondorfdude11 07:54, 4 June 2009 (UTC) - Voted negated as it is not a valid opposition - it's more neutral. Just suggests more things to add to the article, of which, all the mentioned has been added.- M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 09:14, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

== Fishing ==

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'll go for it. It's been edited by many users, is very detailed, and has a lot of good info without being excessive. --Xizor 07:34, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
2. This article is well written and has sufficient references. Deserving of being featured.Mandi ^Talk 22:35, October 30, 2009 (UTC) 22:35, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
3. This one looks pretty good to me. Detailed without being overwhelming, well organized, ample references, layout that is appealing to the eyes. Everything you'd look for in a featured article. Matt ^(Talk) 18:37, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
4. This article is not just detailed, but it is also a major event in many Zelda games.{{SUBST:User:supermariosuperfan/sig}} 15:28, 6 August 2010 (EDT)
5. Lots of helpful information, not repetitive. Perfect for a featured article. HelmarokKing 17:25, 16 October 2010 (EDT)
6. I'll be quick. This article is lengthy, detailed and has perfect images. Deserving of featured page definately! Pokemainiac 04:35, 27 October 2010 (EDT)
7. Gets my vote. Looks well done and has a lot of information and pictures. - AtrumLevis  (My Talk Page) (My Contributions) 18:52, 31 October 2010 (EDT)
8. Very informative, had plenty of information that I had not previously known, and the writing flows smoothly. Well done! Masta Sword 20:04, 20 November 2010 (EST)
9. This article is very detailed with a guidance of all the types of fish that exist. Zeldarules8 09:23, 25 November 2010 (EST)
10. This article is pretty good. Its got lots of references, is at a good length, gives a ton of information, and more. Very deserving of being featured. Danton12396 21:39, 30 November 2010 (EST)

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)

• I'm with Adam. It's a very good article, but it's a little messy when it comes to related pages. There may be some merging that needs to be done first. —Alter  ^{{T C B H }} 15:35, October 30, 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. I think a sidequest article would help diversify our featured articles, so they don't look like Featured Characters :p Axiomist (talk) 02:48, 31 October 2009 (UTC)

#yay! i love fishing! ...er, i mean feature this article. its cool.

== Hyrule Castle ==

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. And the ample supply of images makes it easier on the eyes to get through the whole thing. It, of course, has a lot of references to support it, making it that much better. Also, a rare treat, the gallery at the bottom has many beautiful views of various incarnations of the castle.Matt ^(Talk) 02:33, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

1. I'll go for this one. Plenty of references, nicely written AND lots of visual aid with the images. 8D Dany36 22:51, 15 February 2011 (EST)
2. I'll support as well. It is a fantastic article, well written with great pictures. Vyselink 21 February 2011
3. This article has incredible depth and detail, impeccable grammar and syntax, and above all an abundance of high quality images. The placing of some images makes for somewhat of a lack of visual text flow, but overall its a very good read and definitely worthy of Featured status. — Hylian King ^[*] 08:29, 22 February 2011 (EST)
4. What more can I say that hasn't already been said. Zelda4life 20:11, 18 March 2011 (EDT)
5. This article references ALL appearances of Hyrule Castle in depth, covering a broad topic well and fluently. Alibi 18:42, 9 May 2011
6. This would be a very wonderful article to be shown on the Featured Article on the main page. Hyrule Castle defines many things, such as the Hylian Family and the Hero of Time/Link, the impending dangers it usually faces, and how it shows the rule of Hyrule, and it's other neighbours, depending on whatever game it appears in. Hylian Historic 17:46, 11 May 2011
7. this article is outstanding and referes to most of hyrule--Ruchq 12:30, 26 June 2011 (EDT)ruchq
8. This article is very detailed. It is well written, correctly edited and revised, and covers its topic very well. Danton12396 14:42, 9 July 2011
9. Go for it. The article looks nice and it pretty much covers everything from what I have noticed! - AtrumLevis  (My Talk Page) (My Contributions) 16:29, 25 August 2011 (EDT)
10. I'll give it the final approval. Hyrule Castle serves as a unique article in my opinion, considering its status as both a recurring game location and as a dungeon. An article like this would be excellent as the next Featured Article! --Sephichan125 02:13, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

How did it take this long for this article to get approved? Hell, I voted for it in FEBRUARY!!! Vyselink 20:00, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

== Four Sword ==

Like most of the major weapons and items in the series, the Four Sword page has received an outstanding article. With amazing amounts of information, great image usage and plenty of references, I for one say this page is now worthy of featuring.—ZENOX ^T C 11:01, 21 November 2010 (EST)

1. The information, as said above, is fantastic, well written, interesting, and full of a lot of knowledge on the subject. There was a lot of things in the article that I found that interested me and helped clear any confusion I had on the subject. DEFINATELY deserves to be featured. - AtrumLevis  (My Talk Page) (My Contributions) 12:38, 1 December 2010 (EST)
2. The information is very in-depth and interesting. The article is a good length for the topic. It gives all the information needed and more. This article definitely deserves to be featured. Danton12396 16:39, 1 December 2010 (EST)
3. I think this article is definitely well-written. 18:21, 21 January 2011 (EST)
4. This article is truly one of the more impressive one here on Zelda Wiki. Extensive information covering all possible questions one might have, combined with excellent image use make this article a legend in itself. --HyperLink12 19:24, 23 July 2011 (EDT)
5. This article is very well written and clearly explains the role the Four Sword plays in the plot of each game it is featured in.Vulpix001 16:37, 27 July 2011 (EDT)
6. Before I read this article I knew nothing about the four sword. Now I know practically everything!This article contains tons of information, with no typos to be seen. That's why I vote for this article. --17:00, 21 October 2011 (EDT)Person777 17:00, 21 October 2011 (EDT)
7. While I do think this article could use minor trimmings to cut down the verbosity, this article is tautly referenced, attractive, and reads smoothly. Excellent nomination. — cipriano^talk 00:42, 25 November 2011 (EST)
8. The information is well detailed. It seems fit. --Triphoria 21:29, 20 December 2011 (EST)
9. An overall well written article that is thoroughly detailed and informative, and plentiful in references. The "Appearances" section in particularcontains certain storytelling elements, but no article is perfect. It can always be fixed in the future. This article has been a pending nomination for over year; it's time to finally push it through! — Hylian King ^[*] 08:42, 21 December 2011 (EST)
10. Well written piece that is filled with citations and tons of interesting tidbits. Very extensive and an overall great job. Feature this! LegendZelda 13:25, 21 December 2011 (EST)

1. I think the four sword has great design and cool powers. I mean, what other item can turn Link into 4 copies of himself? Besides, it is the main weapon in one of my favorite zelda games, the minish cap. Four Swords is also good, but I like mc better. Therefore, I nominate this article. "Link4569 16:19, 11 January 2011 (EST)"
   Personal like has nothing to do with the article in question.Mandi ^Talk 01:02, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

I expected less when I went to this article. I was surprised with the amount of detail it has. It's not the largest article, but it doesn't need to be. It is large enough to describe the village wonderfully and it has plenty of essential references. Reading it certainly stirs many memories.Matt ^(Talk) 02:33, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

1. I don't really know why. I just think this article is good and helpful. --Toon Link Guy 00:39, 21 June 2011 (EDT)
2. Beautiful and well made page. Exemplifies our quality standards. --Xizor 20:11, 2 November 2011 (EDT)
3. This article has a nice, well designed structure that flows very well when reading, and has good sourcing and plenty of images. It's got my vote. Zelda4life 10:57, 7 November 2011 (EST)
4. I votes for this article, because it's really nice and helpful. It has everything that is needed to get featured. --Niklas 14:50, 26 January 2012 (EST)
5. Definately. Kakariko was a wonderful village in OoT and ALttP. It deserves to be featured more than any other article (Besides Link, Zelda, Ganon, The Triforce, The Sacred Realm). Echo of Courage 11:13, 29 January 2012 (EST)
6. As I played through Twilight Princess for the first time, this was an article that helped me get a better understanding of the location by feeding me with information I wasn't able to find myself. I like the article. --NorskTW 18:43, 1 January 2012
7. I agree for pretty much all of the reasons stated above. The article is very detailed, and has plenty of references. The subject of the article is important, but the article itself is still very high quality. I think it deserves to be featured. Dannyboy601^Talk 15:47, 29 May 2012 (EDT)
8. Kakariko Village is always a relevant location in every game it appears in, and coupled with the fact that the article has plenty of references and extensively details how the village plays an important role in each game, then I vote YES to this being featured. --Dany36 14:35, 15 June 2012 (EDT)
9. Extremly detailed and well written, goes through everything related to the topic and even great theroy and trivia. ~~ Link17 16:41, 23 June 2012 (EST)
10. The article goes extremely in-depth. It's well detailed, and all its references are valid. This article deserves to be featured. ~~Danton12396 14:32, 12 July 2012 (EDT)

This is one of the first towns that you actually go to in one of the most famous Zelda games so i defiantly think it should be fetured --Fudgehog15 19:17, 28 August 2011 (EDT)

Articles are featured for the quality of their content. The subject itself is irrelevant. — Hylian King ^[*] 18:39, 29 August 2011 (EDT)

I know it's not the longest of articles, but the little information we have about Ikana Kingdom and its history has been gathered neatly in a well-written article. It has plenty of sources with the information that the game has scattered about this somewhat mysterious kingdom, and although it has some theory along with it, it is not too far-fetched. --Dany36 15:27, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

1. This article pulls together scattered bits of information to form an informative, well-referenced, and interesting article on one of the mysteries of the series. This, to me, is what this wiki are all about: not just stating the obvious—what this character says and does or how to beat this boss—but going further than that so every reader takes away from an article. It's articles like these that bring the Zelda universe to life. — Hylian King ^[*] 21:11, 15 April 2012 (EDT)
2. Informative, well-written and with plenty of references. Zeldafan1982 13:12, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
3. This article is a great example of what articles on this wiki should be like. It is neat, informative, well-referenced, and delves into one of the most mysterious subjects within the Zelda universe without containing too much speculation or theory. Dannyboy601^Talk 13:48, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
4. This article has just about every reference relating to its subject that I can think of, which is great. Also written very in-universe, and concerning a topic that hasn't been covered to death. +1! —Embyr 75  ^--Talk-- 12:00, 17 April 2012 (EDT)
5. This article is beautiful. It is written in a concise manner, though it does not spare any detail. With thirty-six references, most of which are in-game citations, this article is wonderfully document. Furthermore, these quotes have been meticulously analyzed, shedding as much light as possible on this enigmatic portion of Zelda history. The smooth addition of various theories is terrific; this article should definitely be Featured. Lewis Millholland 19:29, 28 July 2012 (EDT)
6. Looks good to me; well written, organised and referenced. —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 03:40, 31 July 2012 (EDT)
7. It's a good article, and it makes use of the little solid information we have about this topic. The theory section is small and doesn't go on about little known theories with little evidence. The 36 references prove every bit of the facts, and even supports some of the theories. Possibly the best article on the wiki. It definitely has my vote. —Darkness^(Talk) 21:09, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
8. I spent a good 15 minutes reading over this article. It's amazingly well done, especially for something that's only ever appeared in one game out of the series. I would be proud to have this baby on the front page.—Justin^(Talk) 00:17, 6 December 2012 (UTC)
