Line 96:
** His polygon count went up? Or, he was warped magically during his extradimensional time spent in both timelines? Or evolving artstyle?
** He got the Triforce of Power. Go back and fight him at the end of Ocarina of Time and you'll see that his ears are pointed there, as well.
*** Um, what? No he doesn't. And there's a piece of artwork in the Nintendo Power guide (a cropped version shown [https://web.archive.org/web/20200327204657/http://www.advancedanime.com/displayimage.php?pid=316980 here]) featuring Ganondorf with a decidedly round ear facing off with Link. Considering the graphical limitations of the N64, I'd say artwork trumps in-game renderings in this case. A better question would be when did Ganondorf's nose get smashed in and who did such a good job of making the new nose look natural?
**** [https://web.archive.org/web/20131225165018/http://www.zeldauniverse.net/images/games/oot/bosses/ganondorf.png Here]; [http://guidesmedia.ign.com/guides/495087/ganondorf.jpg here]...looks pretty intentional to me. Whatever the child Link case may be, in the future Ganondorf is clearly supposed to have pointed ears.
**** Both are easily explained by assuming that in both timelines, he managed to be sealed with a very, very skilled plastic surgeon (in the case of the Wind Waker timeline, one must have been sent into the Dark Realm like characters from A Link To The Past. How there is a plastic surgeon in a [[Medieval Stasis]] setting is unknown, presumably, [[A Wizard Did It|they use magic]]. Very, very specialized magic.
** At one point in the game someone suggests that Hylian ears are pointed so that they can hear the voices of the goddesses. Given that Ganondorf had stolen one of the parts of the Triforce and basically strong-armed his way into being the Chosen of the Goddess of Power, it makes sense for his ears to gain points.
Line 286:
** Mammals are made of meat-goro. Carnivorous mammals only eat meat-goro. [[I'm a Humanitarian|Am I the only one who finds that a little disturbing-goro?]]
** Humans and animals are made of meat and we haven't had any problems so far. It's probably a similar thing for Gorons. That and I kind of figured Gorons being made of rock was just a way of saying "their skin is as tough as rock" or "they are very rock-like in composition".
* Why exactly are [https://web.archive.org/web/20130202194503/http://www.zeldauniverse.net/images/games/ss/enemies/bokoblin.jpg these guys] called [http://images4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20090603020551/zelda/images/thumb/3/3b/Bokoblin_%28Twilight_Princess%29.png/150px-Bokoblin_%28Twilight_Princess%29.png Bokoblins] as opposed to [http://www.zeldadungeon.net/Zelda09/Enemies/MoblinBig.gif Moblins]? Moblins used to be the de facto [[Mooks]] of Zelda, but they seem to be marginalized by their cousins recently...
** They're not being marginalized, they're just promoted to a higher-tier level of baddy! And they deserve it, too, after so many games of having nothing to do but wander arounds forests getting murdered.
** It looks to me like the ones labeled Moblins have an appearance more like a hog (or boar such as Ganon). It's most noticeable in the face and nose. While the ones called Bokobins seem to have a more bulbous or goblin-shape to their face.
* Gorons have nipples and therefore are mammals. [[One-Gender Race|Where are all the females?]] [[Squick|Not that I want to see one, of course]].
** The Gorons are a race of men, who are bound by tribal law to be ruled over by the one female born every one thousand years. Goron men often go to castle town to scope out potential mates. ...Wait, no.
** [https://web.archive.org/web/20130321052207/http://oglaf.com/son-of-kronar/1/ There are no women]. (Oglaf, NSFW)
** I've always presumed the females and male looked the same. Or maybe they're Asexual and have no sexes.
*** If they're asexual, then how do they reproduce? Rock-Mammal-Budding?
Line 316:
** ...What?
** They look about the same age. Maybe the cel-shading is throwing you off?
** I meant her design. [https://web.archive.org/web/20160125143535/http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/f/f1/Zelda_OoT_2.png This] is child Zelda in OOT. [http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/3/3f/ZeldaTWW.png This]{{Dead link}} is child Zelda in the cel-shaded games. [http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/e/e1/Adult_princess_zelda%2C_(OoT).png This]{{Dead link}} is adult Zelda in OOT. Why does cell-shaded Zelda resemble adult Zelda if she's around ten?
** Because that's how they drew her. Just because the games tend to use [[Generation Xerox]] design doesn't mean that there's something wrong when a character doesn't look exactly like she did previously.
*** But why? Wasn't her "adult" design supposed to be that way for a reason? Since she's, well, basically an adult?
Line 356:
*** Or maybe it's not the REAL moon, but a fake conjured up by Majora.
* Is it just me, or is the castle courtyard in OOT not directly connected to any other part of the castle?
* What was Zelda's design in the first game? She has ''three''. A [httphttps://wwwweb.archive.org/web/20141009214636/http://zeldawiki.org/images/b/b5/Original_Zelda.png short haired blond girl], the [https://web.archive.org/web/20140804044329/http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/b/b6/Princess-Zelda.png same design with brown hair], and [https://web.archive.org/web/20160121104749/http://www.zeldawiki.org/images/6/6c/LinkZeldaTriforceLoZArt.png a design that resembles her sprite but with a hat and blond hair]. It seems like the latter is her Japanese, and canon, design and the shorter ones are the western one. Am I right?
** That "hat" is the Triforce of Wisdom...
* Referring to the Oracle games, what's the case with Din and Nayru? Nayru is capable of pulling herself and others through time, in addition (probably) to creating places where time can be traveled through via the Harp of Ages. When Veran possesses her, it's very likely she (Veran) actually had to do something to make things run amok. Din, on the other hand, doesn't have any readily apparent abilities. Her very presence seems to be what's keeping the seasons in order, since all Onox does is lock her in a crystal before things go to Hell. Would Labrynna be any worse for wear if Nayru never existed, and what will happen to Holodrum should Din ever die?
