Talk:Barba

From Zelda Wiki.org

I heard that it's original Japanese name was Volvagia, and/or that it was changed to such in the Collector's Edition version of AoL. Is this true? Dinosaur bob 16:10, 4 October 2007 (EDT)

I just found the source for the above rumor- Barba's Japanese name is Barubajia, while Volvagia's is Varubajia. Japanese names for AOL's enemies found here: http://bestiary.zeldalegends.net/index.php?game=z2&limit=

Think we should merge this article with the Volvagia one?

As far as I'm concerned, they're still completely separate entities. Although the name-link is a compelling one, it doesn't prove that they are one and the same. Also, if they were to merge, the title would have to be either Barubajia or Varubajia, which wouldn't sit well with me. Anyone else's thoughts?--Adam 15:43, 19 November 2007 (EST)

...Japanese does not have the sound "V". They have exactly the same japanese name - Barubajia. This has been translated in America most recently to Volvagia, and was corrected as such for the re-release of TAoL. They are both serpentine lava dragons.

What more do you need?KrytenKoro 15:50, 19 November 2007 (EST)

Someone else's view on it. I'm not the arbiter of all that's right, nor would I claim to be so. But nor are you. Consensus is needed. --Adam 16:44, 19 November 2007 (EST)

I'm pro merge and having the article named Volvagia (as "Barba" obviously is a less correct translation (unless one would look at the number of letters)). I was already thinking of suggesting that when adding the name-comparision parts. But before I support such a merge, I'd like to know where I can find prove of the renaming, KrytenKoro. Where is the renaming of Barba written/stated. IfIHaveTo 06:42, 20 November 2007 (EST)
