Possibly a Satire of Wal Mart?[]

Hey there! I'm fairly new to editing wikis. In fact, I generally don't bother with it. However, I'm currently playing through Twilight Princess for the first time in a few years, and I've noticed some very strong implication that Malo Mart is a direct satire of the real world Wal Mart.

It starts in a small town, Kakariko village, (Wal Mart started in a small town in Arkansas) and Malo is extremely concerned with expansion from the start, using "discounts" as his main selling point. (Obviously the reason Wal Mart has all but monopolized shopping in some areas).

The real satire seems apparent when Malo Mart takes over the shop in Hyrule (As Wal Mart does to a lot of local businesses) and everyone in the store is hysterical about the discounts, yelling about how they don't really need/want the items, but they're going to buy them anyway.

Anyway... The joke seems pretty clear to me, but I'm not sure if this has any place on the wiki article. It's not really a theory about ingame lore, and this wiki doesn't seem to have trivia sections... So should this just be left out?
