Talk:Stalfos

Do you think it will be important to talk about their behavior in ocarina of time, if you z/l-target one of them?


 * Sure, add it in. Extra info is always good. --Adam 07:36, 16 September 2007 (EDT)

Why not add the fact that if adults get lost in the Lost Woods they become Stalfos in this page? ZeldaGirl96 02:02, 3 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Less talking, more typing! You don't have to ask permission to add information to articles ;) 18:30, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Deelfos
Is this a fan made name or what? I've never heard the term. In the Oracle of Seasons there are Red, Orange, Blue, and Green Stalfos, with each acting slightly different from one another. I hardly consider the green one to be a separate type of Stalfos. Also, there is no appearance of a Green Stalfos in Oracle of Ages. Mases 00:46, 22 November 2008 (UTC)


 * The only other real source of Deelfos on the net is Jason's entry on Zelda Universe. Other than that and here, I can't really find anything. So it seems fan-made. 01:25, November 22, 2008 (UTC)

Categories
Is there a way to make the categories appear... better. Stalfos is an enemy in almost every game. Is there a way to make it so that the enemy categories or something appear in a drop-down menu that pops upon request. [I've seen that done at Wikipedia and I think here at Zelda Wiki too, but I don't recall.] Also, it will look a lot better if we can list them horizontally rather than in a straight line where it looks all ugly and clogged up.

What the heck?
Why does "Baby Link" redirect here? 05:06, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
 * It redirects here because the Blue Stalfos from Oracle of Ages turns Link into a baby, but since I made Blue Stalfos a page of its own, it shouldn't really redirect here anymore... Oops. :x Dany36 05:34, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

Igos' Lackeys?
Did they ever have their own page? I know they're very minor, but they do have a sizeable cutscene dedicated to their idiocy, and they are part of a mini-boss. It just seems odd to me that they don't have their own article. Thoughts? 22:35, 4 July 2010 (UTC)


 * I suppose so, as they do have a part though minor, in the game. One of this wiki's missions is to collect and improve as much zelda data as possible. Seems like good, little known information, so why not? Zelda nexgen 22:49 4 July, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is some information about them on the Igos du Ikana page, but it's spread out rather than neatly organized. So they could get their own article, or be merged (and seperated by headings) with his (since they're part of the same fight)... 23:00, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmmm...I noticed that, and I think that they could either be cleaned up for Igos du Ikan's page, or given their own little bit here. I honestly don't think there is enough about them to creat their own page.

Zelda nexgen 23:09 4 July 2010
 * I'm not worried about that, I'm pretty resourceful when it comes to getting random info... but I guess making a section on the Igos page will work. I'll tag that as a project (unless anyone has a better idea). 03:13, 5 July 2010 (UTC)

Design
Since stalfos are completely different in each game or pair of games I believe this page should have a b game design, not a variety design. It is missing a lot of information due to the design. 19:04, 1 September 2010 (EDT)

Majora's Mask
Throughout the article, it is mentioned that Stalfos appear in Majora's Mask. However, At the beginning, it is clearly stated that Stalfos do not appear in Majora's Mask. I'm baffled. 12:47, 31 October 2011 (EDT)
 * Yeah, we should remove all of that from the main article. :P I don't think they are ever called Stalfos, so...let's not assume things, folks! Dany36 13:23, 31 October 2011 (EDT)

The Ikana are stalfos, and Igos de Ikana is still mentioned as being a notable Stalfos, so we remove the Majora's Mask exception thing.
 * Stalfos are a specific variety of skeleton, for example the Piratians are not Stalfos. There are Stalchilds in Majora's Mask, but Igos du Ikana nor his companions are called Stalfos anywhere official as far as I'm aware (though I'm not 100% sure). The point is, they are probably a type of Stalfos (like Stalfos Knights or Stalchildren are types of Stalfos) but they are not called actual Stalfos. 08:51, 23 July 2012 (EDT)

Stalfos Knight
Alright, I've been wanting to suggest this for awhile, but I really think Stalfos Knight should be split to have its own page. Not only are they specifically named in the manual as seperate from regular Stalfos, they bear little resemblance to the normal Stalfos in ALttP (they're about three times the size for one thing, and have to be killed in a very specific manner). They are also fairly key enemies that have gone on to influence regular Stalfos in later games. They also reappear in FSA I think, also seperate from normal Stalfos, but are are commonly confused with regular Stalfos or any Stalfos with swords, which isn't the case. Plus, this page is a bit of a mess, with a number of varieties of Stalfos all lumped into a vague "size and strength" category, when it just varies from game to game rather than across the series as a whole. I also think Big Dark Stalfos should get their own page as they are a boss, such as Igos du Ikana or Master Stalfos (or Stalmaster and Scervo). Fizzle 14:44, 6 December 2011 (EST)
 * Maybe Stalfos Knight should have its own page, but it should be linked to from this page as the series clearly regards it as a variety of Stalfos. Also, do keep in mind that a number of games have a basic enemy simply called "Stalfos" that is largely the same as the Stalfos Knight, e.g. Twilight Princess.  There is no feature that is consistently possessed by Stalfos Knights and not regular Stalfos.--Osteoderm Jacket 20:04, 14 January 2012 (EST)
 * This is true, but in the games where they do appear seperate (ALttP, and Master Stalfos is basically a Stalfos Knight rather than a normal Stalfos, possibly FSA is they count) they are very different from regular Stalfos. Arguably the Stalfos of AoL (which were also called Stalfon rather than Stalfos) are quite a bit different from the ones from the original game, too, but thats a bit of a seperate issue. I think maybe having a seperate page but obviously keeping mention of it here is a good compromise, and might deal with some inconsistencies (such as Zelda.com's claim that any Stalfos can also be called a Stalfos Knight, which is not true). 08:31, 13 February 2012 (EST)

Shrouded Stalfos
I found something... strange in Links Awakening. I got bored and decided to use the "Glitch World" glitch (Information on Glitches in Links Awakening page) and I was exploring when I walked through an opening and found myself in a sort of twisted version of the pit under the Moldorm fight. Sitting in this sort of water area was and ORANGE shrouded Stalfos. I thought it might of been an unused sprite of some kind so I took a picture of it. --Person777 00:47, 27 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I dunno about anyone else here but I'm no expert on that stuff so I couldn't tell you one way or another. There's nothing on The Cutting Room Floor about it (TCRF = awesome wiki for unused content). If I were you I'd bring this up here and see what the experts have to say. 11:05, 27 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Sounds like just a Shrouded Stalfos using the orange enemy palette. In the original game it's very easy to change the sprites used by those enemies by using the trick with the map screen, so this is probably just a similar result. I could be wrong, but I suspect that is it. Little secret... Moblins, Darknuts and Shrouded Stalfos are all the exact same enemy but with different graphics loaded. 14:50, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
