Zelda Wiki.org:Failed Nominations

This would be an informing and new article for newcomers. --Eponasowner 19:18, 30 November 2007 (EST)

1. It's the newest Zelda game so I think people should know about it. --Bigrageous 15:35, 22 December 2007 (EST)

1. Other than the fact that this has had only one vote in almost 3 months, I think the quality of the article is somewhat lacking (there are other better game articles), and it shouldn't be featured merely by virtue of PH being the newest game in the series. —Adam ^(talk) 13:11, 23 February 2008 (EST)
2. I would have thought a more interesting article for newcomers would be something like A Link to the Past or Ocarina of Time. --AmrasCalmacil 15:56, 24 February 2008 (EST)
3. I agree, though Phantom Hourglass is a great game for Zelda newcomers, the article lacks interesting content. Ika5263 23:57, 28 February 2008 (EST)

A main part of the Zelda games, with a nicely set-out page and appropriate graphics. Should deserve a Feature. --Beanie 23:47, 23 February 2008 (EST)

1. I love Epona, but in my opinion, this article isn't very well written. It doesn't deserve to be featured untill it get a good rewrite.--Link hero of light 10:16, 24 February 2008 (EST)
2. It's a good article, but not great. And it doesn't cite any sources. —Adam ^(talk) 16:13, 29 February 2008 (EST)
3. I love Epona as well, but as you said it is not very well written. --Claire 16:53, 29 February 2008 (EST)

Cool boss should be featured --Trogdor 3:49 19 February 2008 (EST)

1. Is that really a good reason to be featured? (Unsigned vote by AmrasCalmacil - see rule 6 above)
2. Short answer; no it's not! The article is average at best, and cites no sources. —Adam ^(talk) 11:20, 8 March 2008 (EST)
3. Uhh...yeaah....nowhere near as cool as most other bosses AND you didn't give a very good reason to why it should be featured. --ShadowLink45
4. Well, no? It's a good length, but links to almost nothing else in the Wiki, needs quite a bit of re-writing, and, as mentioned, cites no sources. --Ando (Talk) 18:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)

The ReDead are classic "zombies" if you will. They have appeared in most games and are probably one of the creepiest creatures I've ever seen. --Zeldagirl93 19:55, 1 March 2008 (EST)

1. I like these enemies for years the redeads are a cool zombies (Unsigned vote by Lightningtom - see rule 6 above)
2. Me too. These enemys are CREEPY as heck, yet so awesome. --ShadowLink45

1. I'm torn here, because the article is a very good article, but does not meet all the criteria for featured article status (namely, citing no sources). --Ando (Talk) 18:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
2. I like the article, but I have to oppose because I HATE these enemies! Their screams freak me out completely! Ika5263 11:36, 20 March 2008 (EDT)
3. Just not quite good enough yet, I'm afraid. —Adam ^(talk) 14:19, 20 March 2008 (EDT)

Mainly for previously holding the perfect attendence award, pre-Twilight Princess. --AmrasCalmacil 15:53, 24 February 2008 (EST)

1. Great enemy, not-so-great article. To me, it's messy, disorganized, information-lite, and cites no sources. —Adam ^(talk) 11:20, 8 March 2008 (EST)
2. Has very little information and could be organized better. And no sources cited. --Ando (Talk) 18:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
3. This article is definitely not up to standards yet - and appearing in a Zelda game is not criteria... this is a Zelda wiki, of course it was in a bunch of Zelda games. --Jase 07:51, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Definitely the best boss of the best game I've ever played. It's a very descriptive article of the whack-a-mole dragon. --Sk8torchic 4:21 7 March 2008 (EST)

1. I think it is a good article because this is a boss that people may be starting to forget about. Good t bring it back into memory. --Bigrageous 23:45, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

1. I like this boss too, but the article's not up to scratch. Too short, and Volvagia features in only one game out of dozens! —Adam ^(talk) 11:20, 8 March 2008 (EST)
2. Well, the article's writing is a little weird to me, and the format's a little weird. Needs re-writing. --Ando (Talk) 18:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
3. Waaaaaay too short. I know we want quality over quantity, but this article's only got a couple paragraphs. ;) --Jase 07:49, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Just because it's a very interesting article, full of facts, different types of the enemy (example: Great Darknut), and very good and interesting info! It also talks about this enemy's past future, origin, and it gives just about every example about this enemy that there is, especially in the Twilight Princess paragraph. --Ika5263 18:14, 26 February 2008 (EST)

1. decent enough (Unsigned vote by Zoralink64 - see rule 6 above)

1. This is a strange article for me, because the first half has very little info, whereas the second half is pretty good. Still needs link fixes, sources, amongst other small fixes --Ando (Talk) 18:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
2. If the first half was anywhere near as good as the second half, this would be featured article material. --Jase 07:51, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
3. Great in parts, but there are just too many incomplete sections for this to qualify for featured status. —Adam ^(talk) 12:23, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

One of the coolest and most unique items in the whole franchise. A descriptive article of my favorite incarnation of my favorite item, the hookshot. --Nittles 17:15, 4 March 2008 (EST)

1. Cool item, but unfortunately the article is too short and cites no sources. Also, in the same way as Boomerang (a past featured article) this would need to be merged with all other variations (Hookshot, Longshot, Grappling Hook etc.) in order to qualify, and I don't feel that would be appropriate. —Adam ^(talk) 11:20, 8 March 2008 (EST)
2. While I'm not sure about the article being too short, I will say that I agree with the problem of the article citing no sources, and I don't agree with some of the writing (inappropriate contractions, etc.). --Ando (Talk) 18:38, 10 March 2008 (EDT)
3. I agree with Adam, it needs to be merged with the other variations if it is to be featured. The opening statements could be flushed out a little more as well (unfortunately, I'm not much of an expert on TP). --Guy ^(T|C) 13:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Has been in the zelda series from the beginning so yeah--Lom678 6:54 16 February 2008 (EST)

1. For quite a while when I played Ocarina of Time, Gohma was my favourite boss. That may no longer be the case, but I do believe it deserves to be featured. --Yuvorias 12:48, 19 March 2008 (EST)
2. This is a great article with lots of good info about a classic Zelda boss. --Seraphim 20:16, 23 March 2008 (EST)
3. This article tells you about all the different Gohma's through the games and she is the most recurring boss and one of the coolest at that (OOT's Gohma being my favourite)--Kresh64 16:44, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
4. A cool boss that's been featured and changed enough, and the article covers each form pretty well --Emeryn 14:54, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
5. Gohma is one crazy boss. I really like her in Twilight Princess and she's been featured in the game since the very beginning. Gohmas' got my vote! --Zeldagirl93 17:13 6 April 2008 (EST)

1. While it is a decent article, it fails to cite sources and is a little sloppy in some places. Adzma 03:09, 20 March 2008 (EDT)
2. Like Adzma said, its organization could use work here and there. I'm fairly certain some of those sections (LA, FSA) could use a little more detail too. I wouldn't call it bad, but I wouldn't say it's worthy of being featured either. --Guy ^(T|C) 13:08, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
3. It's okay, yet dosen't cite sources and some of it could use more detail. --David ^{(T : C)} 23:06, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

This race is one of the most important and reacurring LoZ races. They control the water that goes through Hyrule. They are also some of the most interesting characters in the game. They are very important if you ask me. I love the Zora. They are so important to the LoZ series it isn't even funny. They carry the most mystery and their forms are so awesome that I would love to learn more about them. They deserve their limelight moment. Zane ^(talk) 17:19, 14 April

1. I just think that Zoras are cool, they look so proud. --Olle93 22:35, 19 April
2. The Zora are a sophisticated cool looking race, In Ocarina of Time you help them and they help backso you can get the water spiritual stone. That's my vote. --Maggalo 19:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)

1. I think it needs a bit more information about the Zola from the original Legend of Zelda. There could be more information for the specific game descriptions. More about the possibly Rito theory with sources would be much better. (The Rito page has an entire section about the evolution theory yet the Zora page has a simple sentence). This is a decent article, but I think the standard for a featured article needs to be raised and I don't think this is quite, 'complete' for it to be available. Mases 16:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
2. The article is too brief. It should be expanded. It just skims over the material without giving enough information. There is much more information that can be added. As it is, this article is incomplete. Not up to the standards of a featured article.--Matt 17:45, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
3. They're an awesome race, Zoras. Still, we need more information in some of the sections before it can be featured. --Yuvorias, 11:02, 3 May 2008 (EST)

A very simple enemy with detailed descriptions. Article has several official sources as well artwork and screenshots. Something different than the more known typical featured items. Mases 19:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

1. Although your improvements to this article are impressive, I have to say no. This article could serve as a model for improving articles about similar enemies. Then it will be only one out of many. This has happened with other featured articles before. Also, it is still quite brief by featured article standards. There is not a whole lot more information that can be put into it.--Matt 20:27, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
2. It's a little bit short. Gels really don't really have much to speak for. I want the little, unknown things of the Zelda universe to become featured articles, yes, but there isn't enough info about these.--Rdnckj258 20:33, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
3. I have to agree with Matt on this one. Usually, we don't feature articles that are 1 of many. (P.S. I'm not putting you down or anything, keep up the good work, man!) --Seablue254 20:38, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

1. Bleargh...pretty average, I have to say. Plus, no references, just a references category... --Yuvorias, 16:09, 28 June 2008 (EST)
2. Yeah, pretty average, but longer than most. Again, no references,and it's not quite organized right.--Rdnckj258 16:09, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
3. Too short by far and is mainly composed of images. Also, when nominating, could we please at least add a signature and date stamp? Thanks. —Adam ^{[ talk ]}16:11, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

This article thoroughly explains Twilight and it's many facets. --User:Pawtamus, 10:00, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

1. I really like this article. Since I've been here, this article has caught my I the most. --Gluemann267
2. It may not have references and it may be quite short, but I believe that this mystical Twilight Realm is a key point in Twilight Princess and their would be no storyine without Twilight. This article is short, sweet, and to the point, and yet, it is very informative. --weyes Ise

1. Not long enough. Not enough sources. Not that interesting. Not formated correctly. Not that important. Not a chance of being featured.—Matt ^(T C F S) 06:57, July 16, 2008 (UTC)
2. No sources. —Seablue 12:47, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
3. Not a single reference, it's all one big section, and despite that it's short. —Ando (talk) 13:12, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

A really good article with lots of refrences.--Link hero of light 17:46, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

1. This article has lot of references and it deserves the place. (Unsigned vote by Molgeratwinmold99 — see rule 6.)
2. Alright, fine. I'm not going to waste my July vote, so I'll cast it for Medli. It's about as long as it's going to get without becoming tedious. --Felicia's Champion, 16:29, 16 July 2008 (EST)

1. Hmm... This article doesn't have a lot of references. It is mostly references. It is much too short to be a featured article.--Matt 13:20, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
2. I agree, the article is short and not very detailed and a ton of referencesPoe 23:21, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
3. Yeah, I'm afraid this doesn't really cut it. And with only one valid (but half-hearted) positive vote in it's favour in more than three months, it's clearly never going to make it! —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 20:49, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

i know its non-canon but its such a good article. well written and overall a perfect article. best on this whole site! remember the whole idea is to pick a well written article. it never said it was canon-exclusive. even fallen sage if its written well. some of you may be missing the point. NOBODY said it had to be canon. forget canon. this is a great article. im suprised im the only one who picked this.Dragonstetraforce 23:10, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

1. No, its fan-made, a rumor theory thing. i dont think it should be nominated. Luroberto
2. I concur, the Tetraforce theory is non-canon and should therefore not be a main article. Even though it is well written and all, there are still other articles that should get first priority. Angmar
3. The fact of the matter is, that this theory has no place in Zelda, other than fan-made rumours. According to Shigeru and Nintendo, it does not exist, so why feature something that doesn't exist? And if you want another reason, some of the sections are very short, three lines or less. No sources either, which immediately prevents it from being featured. Plus, it's just not appealing to look at, with a single tiny image of the Hylian Shield. At best, we should give this a mention on the Triforce page, which is already featured. --Felicia's Champion 21:52, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Link's trademark Tunic has stayed with him for ages, and there are many variations that are stated clearly here. --Ingo 07:36, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

1. The tunic is his main clothing were would he be without it, and the different colors are an added bonus.--HeroOfTime6 10:00, 1 November 2008
2. The tunic was used in ALL of the video games. It is something new and would be a good choice.--HeroOfTheWinds10 19:43, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
3. The Tunic would make a very interesting subject, because it never has the same explanation in any two games. Since I've only played A Link to the Past and Twilight Princess, I'd like to know the other ways Link aquires the Tunic.--Marbro 22:38, 9 November 2008

1. Each of the sections are too brief. There is a great deal of information that could be added to it. It needs some expansion before it can be featured.—Matt ^(T C F S) 03:09, November 2, 2008 (UTC)
2. An interesting nomination, but as Matt says, it would need great expansion before it could be considered feature-worthy. Also, the dreaded "you" appears in this article... --Felicia's Champion 03:33, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
3. I don't see how this article would be even interesting to feature. But, that is beside the point. The article is too brief (I see I'm not the first to point this out), I just can't see a whole article on this. —Mandi ^(T C) 05:56, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

what would hyrule be without its castle?Dragonstetraforce 16:02, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

1. I agree, Hyrule Castle has been in many of the games and is where you face off with Ganondorf at the end of some games. The article is well written and lengthy and it would make a great featured article. --Kresh64 22:42, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
2. So do I, Hyrule Castle is the very symbol of Castle Town, like the Clock Tower to Clock Town.-Jedi 10:34, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
3. Definitely. I always liked Hyrule Castle because you did something really cool there - i.e, sneaking past the guards in OOT; fighting the Moblins and Darknuts in Wind Waker; and it was the final dungeon in Twilight Princess. -Zelda45 17:50, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
4. Second, It is the shiz! zacharyk88 21:14, 17 November 2008

1. Uhh... What? The only votes so far seem to be about Hyrule Castle itself, not this article. Though a couple sections are impressively written, others almost seem like stubs. It's missing citations in important places as well. --Douken 05:47, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
2. Yep. This article could be featured. But not now. It needs more expansion. And, above all else, sources! We can't feature something with only one source.—Matt ^(T C F S) 05:52, November 19, 2008 (UTC)
3. The one source this article has isn't even about Hyrule Castle directly...it's about Link's destiny. Sources before any featuring, I say! --Felicia's Champion 05:55, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

This awesome spectacle should be featured. Its really important to Zelda game history. Especially in Ocarina of Time. I think the informational sections are long enough, and it has great pictures of the outside and inside of the Temple itself. The Temple of Time needs its time to shine.--HeroOfTime6 23:35, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

1. Agreed. It was really incredible in both Ocarina of Time, where Link made his long sleep; and Twilight Princess, where it was a really good dungeon and the first place Darknuts appeared. -Zelda45 15:24, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
2. I agree as well. very nice place, link is hotttttt--ILoVeSaSuSkE 15:54, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
3. The Temple of Time is a really good level. In OoT, it was a place of epicness. Two huge rooms ensure that this is a sacred place. A large praising room (It would appear) and the huge room that houses the Master Sword through an indestructable door. The Twilight Princess temple looks like an actual dungeon, not a place of worship. Petman1325 19:59, 24 November 2008
4. The Temple of Time is not only a very important place in OoT and TP but is also very cool. It has my vote.--HeroOfTheWinds10 19:43, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
5. This article has a great spread I would be proud to have this be my first vote on ZW.--Makar11 20:03, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
6. A well organized and descriptive page, very hard to come by. It's a very important landmark of the series and definitely important enough to be featured— Steve 20:49, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
7. The Temple of Time is probably the most important Temple in the Zelda series, there is always something important there when it is featured in a game. So it wins my vote this time and I loved the music there in OOT, so mysterious.--Kresh64 22:57, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
8. Yes, it is very descriptive and it does have a important part in two games. And as the article says "one of Hyrule's most ancient edifices." Defiantly should be featured--SenselessAura 03:01, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
9. The article is simple, but well written. It is interesting to look at the differences between the temple in Ocarina of Time and Twilight Princess. There is a good combination of the old and the new and I think it is worthy of being featured. DawnPrincess 15:36, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

1. It doesn't have enough sources for me to vote for it. It's a fairly decent article otherwise, but I cannot vote for an article without proper citations.--Rdnckj258 17:36, 22 November 2008 (UTC)
   • Vote retracted by voter. —Ando (talk) 01:58, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
2. People have a tendency to study what they already know, and the temple of time is known to pretty much any Zelda fan. However, a less well-known subject would be more informing. --Claire 22:55, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
3. Yes the Temple of Time itself is awesome. But we're not voting on the Temple of Time. We're voting on the article. The article is not impressive at all. It just seems mediocre and average. Nothing in it stands out. It is small and not even close to most of out other featured articles.—Matt ^(T C F S) 10:46, December 14, 2008 (UTC)
4. Despite that fact that it is a very informative topic, it is to well known. No doubt people already know a lot about this topic, and there is no need to feature it. --Prince Deity 21:12, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

• Okey, I really can't go either way with this one. That's not the point, how is voter 2 valid? If anyone has a good reason, I'll totally lay off. —Mandi ^(T C) 14:21, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Ando and I talked a bit about it. It is valid from what I gathered. But his closing sentence was not appropriate. So he should not randomly insert it anymore.—Matt ^(T C F S) 15:40, November 30, 2008 (UTC)
• What about opposition 1 does the article really not have enough sources?--HeroOfTime6 17:39, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
  • We've already asked Rdnckj258 about that. We're waiting for a response.—Matt ^(T C F S) 18:45, November 30, 2008 (UTC)
    • Okey, I'll lay off :P —Mandi ^(T C) 18:11, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
• The opposition regarding the lack of sources was added when there was only about two references on the entire page. The reference list has expanded since. I've contacted the user about possibly retracting the vote now, but I haven't gotten a response back. If we hit three oppositions with no response, I'll likely just negate the vote anyway as there really isn't much more to be added. —Ando (talk) 18:50, 30 November 2008 (UTC)
• I've rescinded my opposition, but I'm not really openly supporting it. The citation additions made it a better article than it was when I added my opposition (there were a total of 3 citations at that time, not nearly enough to warrant FA status.)--Rdnckj258 23:00, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
  • Votes 1, 2, 3, 4 and 7 all seem to be voting for the Temple itself, and not the article. Didn't we agree that this is not allowed? Or did I miss something? --Felicia's Champion 08:09, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
    • It peeves me too. But we do not have any guidelines set up here. So we technically can't do anything.—Matt ^(T C F S) 08:13, December 5, 2008 (UTC)
      • I'm beginning to think that we need to add guidelines for EVERYTHING - support / opposition, article / picture. We'll discuss this and hopefully have something up by tonight. —Ando (talk) 17:49, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

At first, mysterious, masked child. Possessing the strength of a man(see manga). Way faster than Normal Link. Tragic story and a main part of the best side-quest ever. Features of a Shiekah. A subtle cameo in Animal Crossing. A playable character!!!

Kafei needs to be featured, he is, while small to the Zelda universe in general, a large part of Majora's Mask. Zapdemon 01:24, 5 November 2008 (UTC) @

1. Amazing side-quest with romantic and courageous storyline (Unsigned vote by Dekuta — see rule 6.)
2. Kafei is a less-known character, so reading about him would interest visitors. On the other hand, any Zelda player who has picked up a controller already knows at least enough about the temple of time to at least search for it.--Claire 22:50, 13 December 2008 (UTC)
3. The article meets the criteria -- it is lengthy, yet detailed, containing all information available on Kafei from the one game in which he was found. There is nothing wrong with the article itself. Ancblue52 15:53, 14 December 2008 (UTC)
4. In a word, yes. This character is not only little known about, but the page has a lot of information. I'm all for making this the featured article. --Prince Deity 21:11, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
5. Yes, this is definitely good content to feature. He is home to one of Zelda's greatest sidequests, so many people would read it for the sake of nostalgia. And the actual article is very nice, even if there are a few slightly weak areas. Twilight Wolfo 13:55, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
6. It is just a great side-quset, and I think it deserves notoriety.TheOracle 18:49, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

1. Though the character would make a great featured article, I find the content lacking. Some sections are only a sentence long, such as the Sun Mask says see Couples Mask. I think the page needs to be elaborated on before obtaining featured status. It should be almost complete within itself, and though giving links to other pages, it should give details to suffice in relation to Kafei. I don't see this yet! - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 11:12, 25 December 2008 (UTC)
2. i) The article is actually really quite short, just with a lot of padding. ii) Most of the sections are stubs, other than the intro and "Daily Schedule" (which overlaps too much with the content in Reuniting Kafei and Anju) iii) NO REFERENCES - seriously, we cannot feature something without a single reference (I'd say this makes vote 3 above invalid) iv) Another invalid, subject-based nomination - seriously, we need to get some detailed guidelines up at Help:Featured Content. —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 09:18, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
3. Too short, no references (unless you count those two sites as references). This article needs much more work before it's worthy of being featured. --Felicia's Champion 08:57, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I guess that's 3 opposition votes. Too bad. —Alter 18:48, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

I believe that Rauru is very worthy of receiving featured article status. Although it is a bit short, it is very well-written and thorough. It properly sources it's information, and the images are of high-quality. This page needs your vote! —Alter 21:23, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

1. I think that Rauru is great he helps link. --Link6767 23:31, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

1. This is very small page. The references alone make up nearly a third of the page. It is way too brief to be featured.—Matt ^(T C F S) 23:34, March 28, 2009 (UTC)
2. Yes. It is quite short. Reference section is longer than the actual page. Not long enough to be featured.—Mandi ^(T C) 23:50, 28 March 2009 (UTC)
3. The page is rather short. I don't think something this short on information should be featured. →Kochjr 21:03, 12 April 2009 (UTC)

An amazing picture that to me, shows the true potential of the Master Sword. --Seablue254 17:25, 2 April 2008 (EDT)

1. Its a bit to fuzzy--Zanramon ( ' .' ) look its kirby ['_>'] 17:42, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
2. Zanramons right, it's too fuzy. --Link hero of light 21:06, 2 April 2008 (EDT)
3. I also agree. It's incredibly low-resolution as well. --Jase 07:45, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
4. It's too fizy.--Article and Picture Voter 11:25, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

Clear picture and as far as I know, ZW.org is the only zelda wiki that has a picture of zelda action figures.--Link hero of light 17:55, 24 March 2008 (EDT)

1. I think it'd be fun to have a picture of the toy Zant up. (Unsigned vote by Blood Rayne - see rule 6 above)

1. Not one for me, I'm afraid. Neither the image or the figure itself are particularly good. —Adam ^(talk) 15:19, 26 March 2008 (EDT)
2. No this picture aint that great —lom678
3. It's not necessarily a bad or incredibly common image, but it doesn't quite seem worthy of being featured to me. --Douken 20:11, 4 April 2008 (EDT)

Cool picture from a cool game.--Article and Picture Voter 11:37, 3 April 2008 (EDT)

1. Interesting. I think the Wind Waker graphics could use a bit of Twilight Princess dust, but 3D 'Toon Link looks rather cute. --Emeryn 19:41, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
2. My little sister is one who nominated this, but sibling rivalry aside :), this is a pretty good picture.--Link hero of light 19:47, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
3. I agree. this is a cool picture from a cool game! Let's feature it! --Seablue254 15:23, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
4. Appart from this person being my username. This picture is clear and just awesome.--Toon Link 21:01, 4 April 2008 (EDT)
5. One pick that definetly deserves to be featured.--The Legend of Zelda 00:34, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
6. this picture should without a doubt be featured.--User:Gillispie 15:52, 14 April
7. Toon link is cool and Wind waker is one of my favourite zelda games.--Olle93 20:51, 15 April
8. He's my best Brawl character and my favorite Link incarnation--IceySheegoth11:24,28 April 2008 (PT)

1. I really like this picture and think that it should eventually be a featured picture. But Brawl has been out for less than a month and I don't think we should have spoilers of this level on the main page. --Hisak 21:24, 3 April 2008 (EDT)
2. I agree with Hisak. At this point of time, this is still spoiler worthy for those few Zelda fans who don't know about it.Mases 16:51, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
3. Truthfully, I don't see the difference between any of the Smash Bros. pictures on this Wiki, besides the character standing in them. They're pretty standard pictures. I also agree with Hisak and Mases. At least feature it later on... --Yuvorias 12:57, 29 April 2008 (EST)

The picture quality isn't the best, but I think the pure coolness (My opinion) makes up for it. --AmrasCalmacil 17:13, 5 April 2008 (EDT) P.S. - Sorry that the bottom of the picture juts slightly into the nomination below.

1. i love Zant! He is probably one of the coolest bosses. And Twilight Princess was my first Zelda game. I love his story he tells you. --TwilightKing2
2. As he recently became my favourite boss, I'll give my month's vote to Zant. It is an awesome picture. From the Wii, I notice. --Yuvorias

1. The pictures a little too fuzzy --David ^{(T : C)} 21:12, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
2. It's not a bad picture, but the quality could be a little better if it's to be featured... --Douken 22:04, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
3. Yeah, although the quality is ok as screenshots go, it's still not really good enough for featured status. Plus, Zant is already a featured article, so I don't really think he qualifies as a featured picture nominee as well. --Adam 05:31, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

One of the more epic Ocarina of Time pictures and one of Link's signiture attacks--Magnus orion 17:25, 26 March 2008 (EDT)

1. This is a cool picture, and Deku Babas are so cool.--Article and Picture Voter 19:44, 1 April 2008 (EDT)

1. Maybe if it was the original picture, but as this is a wallpaper made from the art, no TheManInTheMoon 07:32, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
2. I'm with ManInTheMoon on this. --Douken 22:04, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
3. Yeah, to be honest, the version which was initially nominated made me think immediately "no way". Then I reverted it to it's first and current version, and thought I'd leave it to others to make opinions first. However, I'm in agreement that in it's current form this image doesn't cut it.--Adam 05:33, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

This picture of the Master Sword is breathtakingly beautiful, in my opinion. It deserves this status. --Mr. Mystery, 12:13, 9 May 2008 (EST)

1. Yeah, I have to oppose this one. The article Master Sword is also nominated, and it looks like it'll pretty soon end up being featured. That being the case, this image will already be on the main page anyway! (Oh yeah, and also this image has already been featured pretty recently too! Need I go on?) --Adam 21:10, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
2. I have to agree with Adam on this. And apart from that, the is not all that great.--Link hero of light 22:54, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
3. This image is not that good in quality. The only good thing in the image is the Master Sword. The quality of the sword in the March 24, 2008 image in much better.--Matt 04:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Love it. --The Legend of Zelda 00:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

1. I like the subject matter, and there really should be a featured pic of the final epic duel between Link and Ganondorf, but when I take a look at the full-sized image, it's just too blurry. When I played the game, I was fairly sure that I could make out more of Ganondorf's facial features than a couple of dots and a curved line for his eyes and mouth. For the time being, it's a no. If you could find a cleaned up version of it, I would certainly vote for it.
2. I agree, it's definately more clear on the game. As soon as it's cleared up, it'll have my vote. --Mr. Mystery, 11:17, 11 May 2008 (EST)
3. I don't think it should ever be featured, clear or not.--Link hero of light 02:03, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

At the core of Zelda gameplay there are battles. This image perfectly captures that element in all games.--041744 04:16, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

1. More duplicates? We've already very recently featured a picture of Link fighting Darknuts. While this is a nice image, it would have to wait until the other had been disqualified before a nomination would get anywhere. We have thousands of images here at ZW, surely we don't need to have repeats within a selection of the 16 best ones? --Adam 07:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
2. This should not have even been nominated. It does not have any templates. Also, there was already four images up for voting - at the time of its nomination. We don't need featured images similar to ones we already have.--Matt 08:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

This is a cool picture.--Article and Picture Voter 18:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

1. I'm going to have to say no on this one. This image is too small. Also, there already is a featured picture with the King of Red Lions in it. In fact, the pose looks almost identical in both. and the other image is much larger.--Matt 22:05, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
2. I'm saying no to it as well for all of the above reasons, plus the fact that there seems to be little to the picture itself. Okay, it's the KoRL in a generic pose, so what? A featured picture should capture the essence of the moment, like reuniting Anju and Kafei or link claiming the master sword, etc..--Rdnckj258 23:18, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
3. Yeah, I find it kind of funny that almost directly below this image is an identical version of it included in another featured picture :) --Adam 07:21, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

This picture was cool before, but now that it has been cleared up, it's just amazing! This really deserves a feature.--Link hero of light 21:03, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

1. It's official. This picture is so awesome it owns all the haters out there. --Seablue254 12:21, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
2. Yeah, it took me soooooooo long to mess about with the wing edges adding transparency - It'd be nice to see this one featured ;) --Adam 21:21, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
3. I'll give it my vote. It is a nice picture. --Yuvorias, 9:52, 30 May 2008 (EST)
4. Even before the image was touched up it seemed feature-worthy, so it definitely has my vote now. --Douken 19:56, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
5. This picture is so detailed, and the beast is at an angle that perfectly reveals all of its best features. ^_^ --Fairy Boy, 10:06, 20 June 2008 (CST)

1. try again. --The Legend of Zelda 02:50, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
2. the thing is creepy and unusally is hard to beat it after you beat the a lot of times --Lightningtom 19:47, June 8, 2008 (UTC)
3. I think it's pretty cool and very nice graphics but I don't know...--ZeldaGirl96 17:53, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
4. If nominated, this would have been a "one out of many" image. We can't have that.--Matt 17:56, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Though not obvious or straightforward, the Desert Colossus seems to have a majestic yet subtle beauty breaking through the limitations of a Nintendo 64's specs. The goddess receives little attention, and I barely even noticed it on my first playthrough of Ocarina of Time, but this image perfectly captures a grace which so many eyes seem to miss... and for that, I believe it deserves to be featured. --Douken 19:54, 13 June 2008 (UTC)

1. If it wasn't for the texturing on the cliff's I'd swear this was from a newer game, especially since I've missed it every time I've gone through OoT. This has my vote. (Unsigned vote by AmrasCalmacil — see rule 6.)

1. Even though the image is large, I not comfortable with featuring a screenshot from a game with such primitive graphics. I'm not seeing any of this beauty you speak of. I'm sure that others won't either. I am also uncomfortable with us featuring an image portraying a statue of a goddess that isn't even confirmed to exist in the "The Legend of Zelda universe." So I'm saying no. —Matt ^(T C F S) 20:33, June 24, 2008 (UTC)
2. I'd been meaning to voice my opinion on this for a while. Don't get me wrong, I really like the image (I did upload it after all!). However, it's not actually an official image. As you'll see from the source link I added to the image page, it's from a fan-made high-res texture mod. In the light of the recent conflagratory mega-debate over fan-made content, I'm not about to base my objection solely on this fact. My problem is that the image is misleading; the actual in-game visual is more like this. —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 15:52, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
3. I've also missed that in my first play through as well. The only problem with the picture is that it has been edited with federilli's (excuse me if I'm spelling this wrong) high resolution texture pack. Therefore it's treated as fan art and, as Adam has said, can be misleading.— Steve

A very cool and good sized picture depicting changes in how Link looks through the years —Seablue 13:43, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

1. Good! This is an excellent picture that shows Link's aspect in almost all of its games. It looks interesting and deserves the place. Molgeratwinmold55 13:10, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

1. It’s a good picture, but I personally don’t think fan art should be used for the main page image. --Paulreilly86 14:11, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
2. Sorry, Sea, but I've gotta oppose this. It's kind of neat to see the "progression" of Link, so to speak, but the picture itself isn't very cool-looking. Just a few pictures of Link pasted together. Kind of boring if you ask me. —Ando (talk) 15:58, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
3. As Ando said: "Sorry, Sea". I have to oppose this too. It is a neat image in that it compares the differences of Link in the games. But a collage of images isn't exactly outstanding. It isn't what we are looking for in a featured picture.—Matt ^(T C F S) 16:10, July 6, 2008 (UTC)

This form of Ganon is really cool and fearsome--Magnus orion 23:32, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

1. 2 words Ganondorf rules. He is the coolest character in Zelda and Smash Bros. He rules.--Chaosmaster03, 11:50 4 June 2008 (EST)
2. I'd like to see this one featured. IMO probably the best Ganon character design to date. —Adam ^{[ talk ]}15:52, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
3. I'd also like to see this one featured. Fairly large, high quality, and we need at least one featured picture of Ganon.--Rdnckj258 14:13, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
4. Ganon is amazing. One of the baddest video game villans, if not, THE baddest video game villan ever.--Zeldagirl93 17:00, 1 July 2008 (EST)
5. This picture is the awesomest! Just gives you the feel of Ganon being one of the baddest villains in Nintendo. You've gotta admit, Ganon is kinda cool!--Akki 23:54, 8 July 2008 (EST)
6. I prefer this picture compared to the other one and since no-one's voted on either for a while. . . --AmrasCalmacil 11:04, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
7. This would look nice on the main page, yes I could see this as a featured picture, and the art looks really nice, Zelda renders and hi-res photos always have the sparkle that catches my attention everytime. GunMetal Angel

1. --Article and Picture Voter 18:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
2. While this is a good picture, along with the one of Fyrus, and many similar Twilight Princess images; this is one of a set that is only set apart by the character in them, also there are two similar pictures already featured of Midna and Faron--Gillispie 7:41, 1 August 2008
3. I really don't like how Gannon hands look that is my only fault with this picture but it puts me off the rest of it.Garadex 11:59, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

This picture was taken from The Minish Cap. The picture shows Link battling against a Darknut in Dark Hyrule Castle. I chose this picture because I like to fight against Darknuts because they look cool! --Draonjioel 20:35, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Invalid nomination. Already failed just a few months ago (see above) —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 17:11, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Since we are going for more of the out-of-the-ordinary featured images. I thought I'd nominate this one. It is a very large and detailed image of the Master Sword from A Link to the Past. This image is very beautiful and is quite breath-taking. It is a great image. It deserves to be featured.—Matt ^(T C F S) 22:59, August 16, 2008 (UTC)

1. I think it is a beautiful picture, The Master Sword is something that draws my interest, it should be featured.-The Sage of Cosmos

1. I'm afraid that I have to oppose this one. We have already Featured both the Master Sword article, and an image featuring the sword prominently. Adding this one would, in my view, put too much emphasis one one subject. I don't think we can really justify featuring an article and picture of the same subject under any circumstance. I would suggest that this image be used to replace the current one shown Template:FA/33

Yes, it's simple. That's why I like it. It's also highly representative of the artistic style of The Wind Waker, as well as featuring one of the most sought after and valuable items in the Zelda series. Let's feature something a little unusual! (P.S. Thanks to Steven for the great render ;) —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 11:42, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

1. I have to agree. Wind Waker does have great artwork. I love it. And bottles are a neccesity. I do like Twilight Princess and have never played Phantom Hourglass. But this bottle looks cool.CoreyPotter 00:59, 11 August 2008 (UTC)CoreyPotter
2. Well.. yeah... it is a simple but beautiful image and i like it.Olle93 22:54, 11 August 2008

1. While it is a high quality picture, I find that it is too boring to be featured. Other people would laugh when they saw that we featured an empty bottle.--Article and Picture Voter 20:04, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
2. For the above reasons exactly. It's high quality, large, and representative of WW's style, but it's so simple that it's boring. When I think of a featured picture, I think of something that's interesting and captures the essence of a moment, like a big, scary boss that's screaming its head off. So, for me, it's a no.--Rdnckj258 18:00, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
3. It's very high quality. It show's wind waker's cartoon touch, but it's just to boring. --Link hero of light 17:12, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

This picture failed before, but only because it is a spoiler. I think that Super Smash Bros. Brawl has been out long enough and most people have unlocked Toon Link by now.--Link hero of light 21:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

1. Sorry, I have to oppose this again. Like I said last time, I find this picture very plain... --Felicia's Champion 09:07, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
2. There's already a picture of him in the featured image "Link's Piggy Pals". I don't exactly think we need another one. —Seablue 00:50, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
3. Didn't we already feature a picture of Shiek that was almost exactly the same as this? It would just seem repetative.--Corey Lord of Tacos! 13:38, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

In the interest of having at least something available to be voted on, I'm gonna suggest this image. To me, it's a visually interesting and dramatic composition that nicely shows off the graphical aspects of Twilight. —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 17:20, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

1. I love it. It shows twilight princess' dark side.--Link hero of light 19:52, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
2. It's gloomy, it's almost depressing, and it shows the most exciting thing about twilight princess the darkness in hyrule, I LOVE IT!--Onox13 21:27, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
3. It's a very good picture, showing one of the many faces of Twilight Princess. As said above, it's a very dramatic scene and worthy of being featured. --Emeryn 18:54, 26 August 2008 (UTC)
4. I think it's awesome. It shows how the Zelda series has steadily gotten more mature. Yay! --Hylian Wannabe 11:44, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
5. I think it explains the plot of Twilight PrincessTalorules 01:08, 11 September 2008 (UTC)

1. It just doesn't show Twilight Princess' awsomeness. Also it is kind of boring.CoreyPotter 20:02, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
2. The picture doesn't really say anything about Twilight Princess. It's just too plain. Angmar 07:03, 5 September 2008 (UTC)Angmar
3. It's a screenshot... and not even a good/rare/interesting one. It isn't featured on a page, not even a gallery or a user page, so that defeats the purpose of even having it here if you ask me. --Douken 18:39, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

this is a beta version of gohma in tp. i love beta pictures but i never see them get featured. so to add some verity i nominate this awesome gohma beta model. imageine how hard it must be to get this stuff!!!!Dragonstetraforce 21:08, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

1. As much as it is rare and interesting, it's also small and fairly low resolution.--Rdnckj258 18:45, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
2. It's a little blurry too. There are several shots of "Beta TP" like this, so it would seem odd to just feature one anyway. --Douken 20:33, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
3. Yes, it is interesting. But look at our previous featured images. Now look at this one. There is no comparison. The quality of this is image is far too poor to ever be featured. The quality is so bad, that I highly doubt that either Steven or myself could improve the quality of this image to acceptable levels. This image also was not given a source.—Matt ^(T C F S) 00:55, October 3, 2008 (UTC)

This is the miniboss Death Sword. This a great image, made transparent by Steven. Awesome work. Much easier to see than the old version that is currently featured.—Matt ^(T C F S) 01:12, October 3, 2008 (UTC)

Important Notice:

This nomination is an experiment in a new policy. It is intended as a replacement for the existing image Deathhh.jpg. If this image is voted in, the old one will automatically be disqualified and the new one will replace it on every single page that the old one was on, save for this one.

ALSO NOTE:
The subject of this image is black. The old background is black. This image has NO BACKGROUND!!!!!!!. It is transparent. The page background is normal blue. So in no way is this harder to see than the old one. It is a physical impossibility. The contrast is greater for the new one. The ease of seeing it is due to contrast.
To clarify this, go here.

1. You can't see it as good without the background.--Article and Picture Voter 01:19, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
2. The background on the old picture was half the reason I liked the old picture. With this one, half the reason I liked it is gone. That's why my vote is here, and not in "support". --Felicia's Champion 09:24, 6 October 2008 (UTC)
3. a trasparent charater on no background is inpossible to see.Dragonstetraforce 20:37, 8 October 2008 (UTC)
4. It just isn't the same without the background. Also, it is very hard to see and a featured picture should be easy to see.--Link hero of light 18:54, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
5. I have to say, regardless of issues such as clarity or contrast, my problem with the new image is the lack of background. Yes, it was fairly plain, but it wasn't just black. See the purple bit? That cleverly adds both interest and atmosphere to an otherwise slightly plain image. As a (slightly exaggerated) analogy, imagine a film such as The Matrix, shot almost entirely against green-screen. Should they have released that film with just the actors jumping around in front of a green backdrop, instead of adding the CG environments? —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 05:59, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
6. To me, the background of the old version and the bluish glow added to some of the spookyness that Death Sword has.--bolter1

A nicely sized picture of the Dekus, which I think are probably the most interesting race in the Zelda world. It really shows the artistic style of Majora's Mask.Corey Lord of Tacos! 19:46, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

1. A very interesting nomination! I have to agree, I would like to see this featured. Thus far, we have no pictures depicting Deku Scrubs primarially, and the only picture that does feature one is Deku Link, hiding in the background for the MM picture. So, first vote! --Felicia's Champion 23:57, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
2. Great nomination! I've always liked these characters and this image, and with a some work by Steven and myself, it's now of the best quality possible! —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 11:30, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
3. I've always loved this image. It's about time it got nominated. User:Twili Goddess/sig
4. Deku Scrubs have always been cool in my book and Majora's Mask really did good for them, giving them a castle and royal family and even letting you play as one, so this gets my vote --Kresh64 19:06, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
5. Deku Scrubs are cute and one of my favorite enemys.--Article and Picture Voter 01:19, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

1. I don't really see what is so impressive about this image. It is rather bland and not particularly interesting. It doesn't really stand out among the vast number of images on this site. It is no more interesting than most others. Too simple to be featured.—Matt ^(T C F S) 03:17, September 27, 2008 (UTC)
2. This picture does show anything particuarly interesting. It does not show you you something important. The image leaves something to be desired, and is also simple to the point where the larger portion of the pictures on this web address are more interesting. the flaws are too great for it to be featured.Kingbulbin 11:41, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
3. I find this picture to be very bland. Its color is not good. It shouldnt be featured--HeroOfTime6 13:28, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

There is only one other image of Link's Awakening featured. That one is small and doesn't actually have a moment from the game. This one does. It is of Link struggling to keep his boat afloat as seen in the game's opening. This image came from the Nintendo Guide for the game. It was monochrome, except for the lamp glow. I colored it based on the colors of those objects in the game. It took a lot of work to fix up this image. It looks good and it was worked into the Link's Awakening page very well. There is a lot of drama in the image. Good to feature.—Matt ^(T C F S) 07:28, October 19, 2008 (UTC)

1. . I would support this because it's interesting, nice colors, lot of drama. It's unique because of the action being portrayed, a good image. Aye, I'm in favorThe Sage of Cosmos 13:01, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
2. I'm supporting this. You can really tell that a lot of work has gone into this picture. --HylianWannabe 13:01, 7 November 2008(UTC)
3. I want this picture to be featured because its very unique, and because we dont have alot of art like this featured. Its a very good and well done picture and deserves to be featured. --Kresh64 21:08, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
4. This picture's great. Link's struggle, trying to hang on for dear life really sets the mood for not only the picture, but the whole game as well. I also agree with Kresh, we definitely need some more official artwork.— Steve 19:44, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

1. I oppose this because when i look at it i can't make out what it is, its just not interesting.HeroOfTime6 10:05, 1 November 2008
2. I had to click on the picture to see what it actually was. I thought the lantern was Navi. My interest is also not sparked. --HeroOfTheWinds10 19:50, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
   • Vote nullified by a consensus of three.
3. This picture would have been cooler in monochrome, also this picture doesn't have Link's face and his face is pretty.--ILoVeSaSuSkE 19:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
   • Vote nullified by a consensus of three.
4. You can barely tell that it's Link on the boat and it's too difficult to tell what going on. Makes me dizy.--Article and Picture Voter 01:43, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
5. Though I sympathize with the effort, I don't believe this should be featured. (A) When zooming in, parts of it are actually very blurry--especially around Link and parts of the waves, (B) frankly I just don't find it that well-drawn, especially compared with other official Zelda art, (C) least important of my reasons: though it was just the coloring, this is inevitably makes me think "fanart", which drives me away from it being featured. --Douken 05:14, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

• Can we really count the third vote? Monocrome? No one would ever let a monocrome one be featured. Besides the original version from the book wasn't monocrome. Also, not showing Link's face because his face is pretty? I didn't draw this! We'd never let fan art be featured. This isn't a matter of whether Link's face is pretty or not! I think that this vote should be nullified too.—Matt ^(T C F S) 21:34, November 14, 2008 (UTC)
• Get rid of that Links face is pretty vote thats just crazy, it makes us look unprofessional.--HeroOfTime6 22:23, 14 November 2008 (UTC)

• This is getting old. Anyone who has actually played the games can tell it is Link. It is a wave: a six year old could tell you that. The Article and Picture Voter one has to go too.—Matt ^(T C F S) 01:54, November 16, 2008 (UTC)
  • Plus I think that Article and Picture Voter's policy of jumping on the wiki just to vote is abuse of a Zelda Wiki.org account. If it were only up to me, (s)he would be blocked indefinitely from editing.—Matt ^(T C F S) 02:06, November 16, 2008 (UTC)

• It seems to me that some people have been pretty thick in making sure that this image is disqualified. We have reasons like: "I can't see Link's face, and his face is pretty" "It makes me seasick." What the....heck.....is this? I realize everyone has to have an opinion, else the world would be a sad place, but this is ridiculous. I can see the image crystal clear. There is nothing that I'm unsure of. —Mandi ^(T C) 03:03, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Fortunately, it is not up to you to decide. My little sister is too young to make any real edits so I thought see could just vote. Also, if you had looked through her contributions, you would have seen that voting is not the only thing she had done. I thought/hoped you were done accusing people's opposing votes. Apparently, I was wrong :(.--Link hero of light 02:45, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

• The world isn't fair. Sadly, if she can't do anything but vote, then she'll have to wait until she can do other things. Because voting on things is not what this Wiki is about. It is about trying to contain all the knowledge in the Zelda universe. Featured articles and pictures are a way to motivate improvement. So unless the person is making valid edits, they should not vote. Because only people that know the ins and outs of the wiki can know what is truly acceptable. It is that simple. We are not voting on how we'd feel in the situation that the pictures depict. Even though you're most likely telling the truth, we technically have no proof that it is your sister and not you. That is why it is best not to run two accounts from the same household. If you guys did that on Wikipedia, you'd likely be blocked right off. There is a reason that many countries have a minimum voting age. We also cannot be sure if you are not influencing her votes. I can't make exceptions. That's the way the world works.—Matt ^(T C F S) 03:14, November 16, 2008 (UTC)
  • We're going to set up guidelines for voting. From what we have so far, this would fall under what isn't acceptable. So it wouldn't matter who's nomination it is. It could be against something I voted against. If someone votes like that, I still have to oppose it. It is that simple. I've told you that multiple times and you still can't understand that.—Matt ^(T C F S) 03:17, November 16, 2008 (UTC)
    • I'm also afraid that three main namespace edits doesn't really count for doing something other than voting.—Matt ^(T C F S) 03:25, November 16, 2008 (UTC)

• • Edit conflicts combined with "Internet explorer cannot display the webpage" WOO HOO! Fun times!! But, that's nobodys fault so I'll shut up :P Guidelines, yes! We need them, that is the only way we will get anythin accomplished in a case like this. —Mandi ^(T C) 03:39, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

You're exactly right, the world isn't fair. So why don't you stop trying to make people's votes invalid. However, if no one agrees with me, I'm willing to make a compromise. My sister can vote on my account, we can take turns each month. Considering I'm coming out worse on this compromise, you should be happy.--Link hero of light 05:08, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

• I won't stop. They are invalid. It is that simple. I don't want to have to say this again: It doesn't matter who's nomination it is or how I feel about it. If the votes are irrational or are not about the quality of the image or article itself, we will invalidate them. Once the guidelines are up, there will be no more arguing on that point.—Matt ^(T C F S) 05:14, November 16, 2008 (UTC)

But it was about the quality of the image. "You can barely tell that it's Link on the boat and it's too difficult to tell what going on.". If that isn't complaining about the quality of the image than what is? Please tell me exactly what it is.--Link hero of light 05:30, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

• For now it's just my opinion. But don't worry. Once the guideline's are up, I'll stick by them. Even if I still think something is not right. This system now is shaky. So wait until then.—Matt ^(T C F S) 05:41, November 16, 2008 (UTC)

And so will I. One thing I want to ask you is can you show me what the oringinal picture looked like?--Link hero of light 00:48, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

These votes are opinions of why people think pictures should or should not be featured. If your own opinion conflicts with the opinion of someone else... does that mean they're wrong? If someone feels strongly enough about a reason to deny an image to be featured they should at least be given a chance to have their votes counted. It isn't like people are trying to hurt the website by voting against an image. They are just trying to help it by giving a certain reason why they think it shouldn't be featured. (I understand that my vote was with good reason denied)--HeroOfTheWinds10 04:27, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

That is what the guidelines will be for. Right now it is basically hit-or-miss. So it'll be messy until then. Once they're up, things will be much better for everyone. And it will making voting easier too.—Matt ^(T C F S) 04:38, November 17, 2008 (UTC)

I think we definitely need a featured image from the most recent game in the series, and I really like this one. Having said that, I couldn't decide which version to choose, so I've decided to leave the decision up to you! When voting in support, please start votes with A: or B: to indicate your preference. —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 18:09, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

1. A. I think it's a pretty cool picture and there hasn't been too many featured PH nominations yet!ZeldaGirl96 20:06, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
2. A: I gotta admit, I like this image a lot. —Ando (talk) 21:27, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
3. I love option A, its faded borders zooming in on the main characters is simply epic. — Steve 17:30, 16 August 2008 (EST)
4. A, I have only played Phantom Hourglass at Best Buy but I think we need a picture from the most recennt game. I also appreciate that Link's shield has the crayfish/lobster on it like his pajamas in Wind Waker.CoreyPotter 19:58, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
5. Option B would be a good picture to display. The cover of PH is quite nice, giving a good first impression of what to expect of the game. Angmar 07:10, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
6. Option A is really awesome. I was gonna accept with Angmar but then again out of five people only one person chose for the other picture (sorry Angmar). That is why I checked Option A and it did look much better. That is why I vote for Option A. Akki 18:05, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
7. A. It not only is cool, but who wants a huge logo to break the scene?Dekuta 15:26, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

1. I don't like either one. A is too zoomed in, and B has a logo. There needs to be a different Phantom Hourglass picture featured.--HeroOfTime6 19:47, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
2. Actually... yeah, I agree with HeroOfTime on this. --Douken 22:05, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

Why only one The Minish Cap choice? Why not three?! Let the battle begin!—Matt ^(T C F S) 22:51, November 15, 2008 (UTC)

1. I like the art style, and this is definitely a good image, but far from a featured image. --Douken 05:14, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
2. I think Douken is right, its a good picture and all but I think there are much better Minish Cap pictures than this one to be featured. Its just them floating around. --Kresh64 21:31, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
3. This is a good picture, but there isn't enough excitement . Unlike "Big Chu" and "Link and Big Key" this just doesn't deserve to be featured.--Link hero of light 15:50, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

This is an amazing, beautiful, wonderful, awesome picture. This is one of Steve's best picture I've ever seen. I have no idea how he managed to get this picture! This is a rare shot!--Link hero of light 01:11, 19 December 2008 (UTC)

1. Wow I've never seen this picture before, only on the game.--Lt. Hammerspace 03:37, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
2. I dont know why but I love this sword.It just looks so crazy how each part of the sword is different,and the eye on the hilt is cool aswell. It may be a bit on the small side but its still big enough and the quality of the image is very good. --Kresh64 18:01, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
3. Hallelulja-moment! --Olle93 17:01, 28 December 2008 (UTC)
4. It's a very nice picture, and it's rare; I've never seen such a clear picture of the sword before. I think the good people of the Zelda Wiki deserve to see it. Let's give this gem the Featured Picture Status!- Mariofan9 18:19, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

1. I dunno, it's kind of small. Also, we already have a featured sword image that's quite a bit larger.--Rdnckj258 16:33, 19 December 2008 (UTC)
2. Mmmm... it's a bit small, and there are several sword images that appear to be more interesting and of higher quality. I understand that there isn't much that can be done with it but... —Alter 19:43, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
3. It is a good picture. But it's rather on the small side. And not really an important thing.Corey Lord of Tacos! 18:09, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

• Yeah. It is good. But from the size, I can't really go either way here.—Matt ^(T C F S) 22:34, February 1, 2009 (UTC)

I guess that's three opposition votes. —Alter 20:29, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

For such a major charcter, it's surprising there isn't a featured picture of him. I really like this picture. The look on Tingle's face is...weird.--Link hero of light 23:39, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

1. The Picture in question is not suitable to be featured, if Tingle does get a featured picture it should have a better style and be more interesting.--Gillispie 01:33, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
2. Wow this picture is stupid. Im sure you guys could find a better tingle image.--Lt. Hammerspace 21:05, 19

February 2009 (UTC)

• Above vote negated per opposition guidelines at the top of the page. —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 08:28, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

1. I was unable to find anything on whether or not I can nominate and vote during the same month, so I'll assume that I can for now. Frankly, I think this picture is quite boring. It's about the most common image of Tingle that's out there, and there are several images of him that appear to be larger and more interesting than this one. Come on, vote for something more original, people! —Alter 18:55, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
2. There is not that much that is interesting in this image. It is kind of bland. And it is much too small to be featured. Far too small.—Matt ^(T C F S) 02:16, March 11, 2009 (UTC)

• Well, if we should have featured picture of Tingle, I personally would like a art work from wind wake more because I like that style better, but that´s just me...--Olle93 19:10, 13 January 2009 (UTC)
• I'd like to see a featured picture of Tingle, but if I had the choice it wouldn't be this one. It's not the most interesting picture of Tingle nor is it the highest quality one. In my opinion there are better pictures of Tingle which would be more deserving of a feautured picture, not least the picture of Tingle taken from the game's box art. -- User: Tingle :)
• So, Adam you don't think this picture is stupid...I mean come on its horrible. At least find a more classic picture.--Lt. Hammerspace 02:01, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
  • That may be. But an invalid vote is still an invalid vote. There was nothing personal about it. it had nothing to do with what Adam thought of the image. The guidelines are clearly defined above and your vote is in violation of those guidelines.—Matt ^(T C F S) 02:16, March 11, 2009 (UTC)

I was looking at the bosses of Zelda the other day, and this image caught my eye above a lot of other images. It's a really good image done (edited) by Markol, and one of few MM pictures I've seen which are truly awesome. --Felicia's Champion 05:42, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

1. I really like this picture. There's something about Majora's Mask artwork for the characters and monsters that I really liked, and still do to this day. Ancblue52 05:01, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

1. This picture has too much shadow and is too hard to see. It also doesn't have very good perspective making the giant Twinmold look small.--Link hero of light 01:51, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
2. In almost 5 months, this image has gained one vote in support. It's clear that this is never going to reach featured status, and with that kind of overwhelming clamor of support it's clear that it doesn't deserve to. To me, the image is mediocre; I have no strong feelings either way about the style or content. Maybe that's why it's been here so long, and why it has to go. —Adam ^{[ talk ]} 21:30, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
3. The image looks very shadowed, and it's relatively boring. And I agree- no one is in support of this picture, so it's obviously not going get FS anytime soon. I guess that's three votes. —Alter 01:14, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Well... Majoras mask artwork tend to have a little to much shadows and this picture is not an exception. But it doesn´t feel right to oppose it because it isn´t a bad picture... Well... Just wanted to say it... Wait, I change my mind. This, of all the MM -artwork, does not have too much shadows, it is great. So come on everyone vote for this picture now... -Olle93 20:21, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

The image has been tweaked to fix the problem with the shadows.—Matt ^(T C F S) 06:56, December 15, 2008 (UTC)

Now it's worse! I liked it much better with the shadows!--Link hero of light 01:05, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Well, then. Don't complain about it then. You can either like it with shadows or without. Not both.—Matt ^(T C F S) 00:15, December 30, 2008 (UTC)

I don't like it either way, but I prefer the it with shadows.--Link hero of light 06:56, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

The shadow style is just a part of Majora's Mask art style. Nothing wrong with that. Although I don't really like Twinmold, and the image is kinda small I think. The Goron Moron 07:04, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

If it didn't have the shadows, it wouldn't be Majora's Mask ;)--—Mandi ^(T C) 07:06, 4 January 2009 (UTC)

...I haven't checked this out since I nominated it. It's much...brighter than I remember it. I preferred the previous darker version, and so am very tempted to oppose my own nomination. But, there's probably something in the rules against that. So I won't. --Felicia's Champion 06:37, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

This picture is from the ending sequence of Phantom Hourglass. I think it's style is pretty neat.--Link hero of light 16:26, 28 March 2009 (UTC)

1. This is a great picture showcasing the artstyle of Phantom Hourglass's cutscenes. I major Yes. -ATRUEZELDAFAN 13:32, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
2. PH has no featured pictures yet, this is worthy on it it's own, it reflects the action and style of the game very nicely. Much more than being a nice image, it's the perfect example of what can be expected from Ph's innocent appearance and fearsome phantoms. Axiomist (talk) 06:44, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
3. An awesome picture, very stylish and cool looking. Also, a nice action scene. Axle the Beast 04:10, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
4. I love this style and tried to do something like that, too. And therefore I can say that this picture is one of the best from the cutscences and not as simple, as it may seem. And also, if PH doesn't have any featured pictures yet, this is another point for it. --Nelde 18:39, 12 April 2009 (UTC)
5. This is a really good picture from what is perhaps one of the best portable games ever. It shows all the dynamic emotion and styles that were used in the game, as well as how the boss is fought, in a sort of vauge way.--Petman1325 20:14, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
6. The Phantom Hourglass cut out style is so unique!Corey Lord of Tacos! 02:02, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

1. This image is incredibly small. It is much smaller than most of our currently featured images. Plus it is one image out of many that are very similar to it. Doesn't really strike me as awesome. Not compared to what we have.—Matt ^(T C F S) 21:47, April 15, 2009 (UTC)
2. I agree with Matt. Although Bellumbeck is awesome, this cutout doesn't stand out from the others in my opinion and doesn't really seem like much compared to other nominees. Kind of droll really. Then there's the size. - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 04:12, 16 April 2009 (UTC)
3. Bellumbeck would have made a good featured picture however, this image is incredibly small. Hardly eye catching or even interesting. Not really feature worthy.—Mandi ^(T C) 02:21, 18 April 2009 (UTC)

Size is reason enough to not vote for it, but hardly justifiable to Oppose an image. The Images above are all great but Opposition votes with the reason of "We already have several very similar images featured." would fit in the rules as stated above. Just bear that in mind before Failing this image. Axiomist (talk) 04:23, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

I as well, will not oppose this image, we have had Phantom Hourglass nominations before. I'd hate to see this one fail because of my vote, but it's certainly not featured material. First of all, Link hero of light, when Matt and Mel told you the image is too small, they meant the image itself; increasing the thumbnail size will do no good. Also by "large", they mean LARGE at least 900px in height, and size of an image does matter (large images give the "wow factor"). Even in the guidelines it states "it's too low resolution" as one of the examples as a justifiable opposition.— Steve 20:31, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

This is a very cool image that needs to be featured. There are not very many Epona pictures but I think this one is the best. It really captures the image of Ocarina of Time. It is very nicely drawn and old school. It needs to be featured.--Lt. Hammerspace 03:30, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

1. Eh...my first and real gripe with this image is the quality. It seems choppy and the transparency job is rather poor. It's also rather uninteresting.—Mandi ^(T C) 04:39, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
2. The transparency job is done badly, but the image also offers nothing special. It is rather stock-standard, not encapsulating any mood or interest. It doesn't draw people in. - M E L C H I Z E D E K  (TALK) 04:11, 1 October 2009 (UTC)
3. There are several visible leftovers from a quick and somewhat sloppy transparency job. The tail seems a little choppy and it looks like the sword is missing a few pixels. The tail and mane also look like parts are missing as well as having some background left over. As far as I'm concerned this isn't the highest of quality.—Matt ^(T C F S) 04:32, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

1. I absolutely love it. Great image. —Alter 05:37, 29 September 2009 (UTC) Vote withdrawn. —Alter 18:14, 30 September 2009 (UTC)

1. Clean it up, and then we'll talk. Also, doesn't Link know it's dangerous to lean back on a horse while it's rearing? Noble Wrot 05:41, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

1. The image doesn't look that great now that I know what it is. It's not bad, but not featured quality. —Alter 18:14, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
