Talk: The Legend of Zelda series manga

Updates

So, what needs updating? The storylines? If so, I'll see if I can get them; I can't get them from Simon & Schuster because I don't live in the USA so I'll check my bookstores and see if I can get them there.--Richard 21:01, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I think the article has been fairly well updated; all it needs is to change the story to reflect the differences in the English translation. Good job on updating it so far. It looks better than I thought it was now that I look at it.--ShutUpNavi 22:07, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Twilight Princess or Wind Waker manga?

When will the Zelda manga author going to make a Twilight Princess and Wind Waker manga? Cococrash11 (talk) 18:23,

Phantom Hourglass Manga

I added a section on the PH manga, but I realize I typed way too much, making it into a plot summary of each chapter. Could someone edit this for me from their perspective? I can't see what is unnecessary from my perspective, and I don't really know how to make it trail off well...--RyuuseiSoul (talk) 01:06, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

You know I think these could work as seprate pages. Most have enough info here to make up a full page Oni Dark Link 01:09, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

That isn't a bad idea. Yeah, make separate pages and have them link to those pages from here. Anyone in objections?--RyuuseiSoul (talk) 00:44, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Manga Splitting

I think the manga should had a sperate section because the manga section had lots of information so it should be made an article. --Cococrash11 (talk) 20:08, January 17, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

EveryDayJoe45 – "Every man dies; Not every man really lives"--William Wallace (Braveheart) TALK Well, you did things a bit out of order. Most people usually discuss major moves first and take action second. Not the other way around.

Oh next time I will do it right. --Cococrash11 (talk) 20:20, January 17, 2010 (UTC)Coccorash11

EveryDayJoe45 – "Give me Liberty, or give me Death!"--Patrick Henry TALK Well I personally don't mind the move, but some people might. Either way, hope your ready for some work. Its your responsibility to fix all the links now. Here is where you will find them [1].

I think this works (as I stated above it would) Oni Dark Link 20:30, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

So whats the time limit? --Cococrash11 (talk) 20:30, January 17, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

EveryDayJoe45 – "You want the key, and I want you dead, so we can make this work"--Stalfos (The Legend of Neil) TALK The time limit is that you do it right now. Like not to be mean, but do you honestly expect to leave and let everyone else fix your mess?

I will do it but its gonna take some time if I'm going to do all of it. --Cococrash11 (talk) 20:37, January 17, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

EveryDayJoe45 – "Government is not the solution to the problem. Government IS the problem."--Ronald Reagan TALK You can ask someone to help you, but you can by no means force the community to do it for you. That is what I am getting at.

Ccbermanzzpedia – A test taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with fava beans and a nice Chianti.-- The Silence of the Lambs TALK – 20:49, January 17, 2010 (UTC) Timeline My edits ?x? See... I just don't really like the sound of this. Especially if your going to end up flooding the RC with it.

Can't I take a break like 2-6 hrs I mean I had other things to do at home. --Cococrash11 (talk) 21:01, January 17, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

Ccbermanzzpedia – I am here to serve..... and to have others serve me........ TALK – 21:05, January 17, 2010 (UTC) Timeline My edits ?x? Up to six hours?! Not at all! You made the major move, without the go-ahead from the comminuty. That is the price you pay.

You tell me to fix my mistake but you change what you edit General Onox's manga section.--Cococrash11 (talk) 21:20, January 17, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

Ccbermanzzpedia – BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! SHOOT 'EM UP!!! TALK – 21:26, January 17, 2010 (UTC) Timeline My edits ?x? Because you haven't created Orcale of Seasons manga yet. Don't link to a totally unrelate thing.

I did create Oracle of Season manga. Also what now I already fixing the links to the approiate manga section? --Cococrash11 (talk) 22:07, January 17, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

Ccbermanzzpedia – BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! BAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!! SHOOT 'EM UP!!! TALK – 22:09, January 17, 2010 (UTC) Timeline My edits ?x? You still did link to a totally unrelated thing though. Can't allow that.

@EveryDayJoe45 Then how do you do it? I can't change everthing all at once. --Cococrash11 (talk) 22:27, January 17, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

EveryDayJoe45 – "We must all hang together, or assuredly we shall all hang separately."--Benjamin Franklin TALK I would work faster. Then again seeing as how many errors you've made thus far working at this pace, it may not be such a good idea to speed up.

What is it this time I only change the link adress not the places. --Cococrash11 (talk) 22:44, January 17, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

In the long run I think this will be better Oni Dark Link 22:47, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hey! How many article's link adress have I finsished? --Cococrash11 (talk) 00:15, January 18, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

I'm helping you out a little. Go here it shows how many are left.—Triforce 14 00:20, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks but why is Twilight Princess, Ura Zelda, and etc are related to the manga series? Some of them aren't even manga. --Cococrash11 (talk) 00:28, January 18, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

If it has a link to it, it must be corrected.—Triforce 14 00:30, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah but how does Twilight Princess related to that it doesn't even had a manga yet. --Cococrash11 (talk) 00:35, January 18, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

Well in that instance and others like it, the link comes from the series template, which can't be helped. Also, any time the manga series as a whole is being referred to, it's ok to leave the link to the series.—Triforce 14 00:39, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Looks like I finsh with all of the related manga splitting. --Cococrash11 (talk) 01:00, January 18, 2010 (UTC)Cococrash11

Canon Policy

I am a little concerned and confused. I have always assumed that the manga and other secondary materials published were non-canon. However, I ran across a translated interview with Auonuma and the manga authors of OoT that seems to indicate that at least part of the manga is canon. I have tried to find Legend of Zelda canon policy, but the hyperlinks go to Wikipedia's page on canon. Could somebody (like a moderator) do some research on this? Thanks. 76.114.73.248 04:21, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

EveryDayJoe45 – "Government is not the solution to the problem. Government IS the problem."--Ronald Reagan TALK The mangas are absolutely not canon and often time contradict the games. The only things we consider canon are the official series games themselves; i.e. The Legend of Zelda, The Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past, Link's Awakening, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Oracle of Ages, Oracle of Seasons, Four Swords, The Wind Waker, Four Swords Adventures, The Minish Cap, Twilight Princess, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks.

When it comes to naming certain things however the games dont always have what we can find. In those cases we use secondary sources starting with official guides Oni Dark Link 08:49, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

I don't think we've ever used the mangas for situations in which we have no naming options though. I guess I could be wrong... --AuronKaizer! 12:29, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

I suppose the crux of my question is this. In Zelda, when there is a conflict of canon between the games and developers, which wins out? Furthermore, what is the role of the developers in canon? For example, in OoT manga there are multiple inconsistencies between the manga and the game--so does that mean the entirety is stricken, or only the sections that pose the inconsistency? In the interview Auonoma seemed to be asserting that the manga was indeed canon. I guess when formulating in my mind canon works I am trying to relate it to other systems of canon I am more familiar with, e.g. Star Wars where there's George Lucas who has ultimate authority on all canon. Therefore if he says that Darth Vader is really pink instead of black then he is black. In Zelda, are the franchize leaders ultimately overruled by the games? 76.114.73.248 03:35, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Look at the Deku Toad. We all know it's a mistranslation. The games obviously don't take precedence over the developers there.
