Talk:Fado (The Wind Waker)

Move
Mind if I move this to Fado {The Wind Waker)? Brings more structure in the three Fado articles, since the other two are also called by their game. IfIHaveTo 11:18, 7 November 2007 (EST)
 * Makes sense to me. Consistency is a GOOD thing. Dinosaur bob 11:43, 7 November 2007 (EST)

Theory
A gossip stone behind the Great Deku Tree states that: "They say that one Kokiri has left the forest, but he is still alive!" perhapes this is refering to Fado and not Link as one would be lead to believe. Namelink 05:54, 19 May 2010 (UTC)namelink
 * Unfortunately, that's a bit of a stretch. It's more widely accepted that it refers to Link, as it cannot be read until Link obtains the Mask of Truth, which means that he has already left the forest. So, since it's just theory, it doesn't quite belong on this page. Feel free to state your personal theories in your user space, though. 15:36, 19 May 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't subscribe to this theory either, as there is no proof that Fado actually left the forest; just because Link can't find him is not evidence enough to suggest he actually left. Link, however, actually left the forest, and we know that because we saw it. But hey, I don't know - this theory may have support. I'd suggest submitting it to a forum to see what kind of support it has before going on the page, especially since there are already two users here that oppose it. =) 15:39, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
 * And plus, Fado from Ocarina of Time was a girl, and the Gossip Stone blatantly refers to a "he". Fado is only a "he" in The Wind Waker. 20:20, 20 May 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible?
Could it be that this Fado is actually the same Fado as the character from Ocarina of Time? They both have similar hair colors, as well as being Kokiri. Plus, it explains the note of the friendship that Fado had with the Hero of Time. I know someone's gonna say "No cuz this Fado's a boy", but what if that's a mistranslation or something? Fado (at least to me) looks a bit feminine, plus "he" and "she" in Japanese are very similar, with only one extra character for "she", much like adding the "s" in English. Also, male Kokiri in OoT wear pants, but this Fado seems to wear more of a skirt, like the female Kokiri- including Fado- do. I understand that it's very unlikely that there was that big of a mistranslation so long after the game's release, but all of these hints seem to say that it could be true, plus it fills in a lot of holes, such as Fado's disappearance during the adult years of OoT, the fact that this Fado is Link of OoT's friend despite not being seen, and Fado being different from the other female Kokiri (which is only shared with Mido and Saria- Saria is the Forest Sage and Mido is... well important).

 * It's not a mistranslation, Fado in OoT is clearly female and a different person from WW's Fado. The fact that they are named the same is likely a nod to the original plan of a Wind Sage in OoT with evidence pointing towards OoT Fado being that sage. -- Kidbuu4ever (talk) 05:25, 6 September 2013 (UTC)

Prima guide
Can we just remove this? It's not supported by anything in the actual game or Nintendo guide, and Prima...for f's sake, it's a Prima guide. They pull stuff out of their arses all the time, as with the whole "Twilit Bloat"/"Twilit Interloper" nonsense that clearly contradicted the names in the game. At best, they probably did two seconds of research and saw that there was a character named Fado in OoT.KrytenKoro (talk) 16:26, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
