I've been taking another look at Twilight Princess. Unlike most works created by Akira Himekawa, I think the characters in the manga adaptation are distinct enough from those of the original game that I could type a separate page so as to avoid redirection, given enough time. Should I go for it?

Sure. In fact, manga-related tropes were culled from the page a few years ago on the grounds that they should get their own page and this one should be strictly in regards to the game.

I’m wondering if this page should be split. It has a lot of characters and I get the “This article is very long” notification every time I edit it. I was thinking something along the lines of:

-Heroes (Link, Midna, Zelda, the Hero's Shade, and the Resistance)

-Forces of Twilight (Zant, Ganondorf, King Bulblin, and all of their minions)

-Light World (everyone else)

Something like that could work, although I don't know if the (non-corrupted) Twili would technically go to "Forces of Twilight" or fit somewhere else. I was under the impression that we could only split pages when we got the "very long" notification, but I'm not up to date on policy.

Yeah, I got the “very long” notification.

We could just do “Twilight Realm” instead of “Forces of Twilight”. Technically Ganondorf ain’t from there, but whatever, he’s been there for like 100 years lol.

Can we add The Stoic to Twilight Princess Zelda even though she’s a kind ruler.

Hey there. I got two questions:

1. Given how other Zelda character pages have tropes from both their respective games and manga, would it be all right if I add tropes from the Twilight Princess manga?

2. Speaking of the manga, Volume 5 of the Twilight Princess manga was released yesterday and with more volumes on the way (Volume 6 comes out January 20) I think the manga is meaty enough to get its own page, don't you?

There were tropes from the manga on here - I added some of them - but they were deleted with the reason being that they belong on a page for the manga, not the videogame.

I removed these Killed Off for Real entries for the Boss Monsters as most of them weren't characters, and Nintendo could easily bring them back whenever they wanted to.

Can this Link be considered a Luke Skywalker Expy? He's a blue-eyed, blond swordsman who starts out as a Farm Boy, has no visible parents and his enemies are Darth Vader Clones. The Super Smash Bros 64 character page even mentions Luke in Link's section.

To quote the expy page:

  • Remember that an Expy must be a clearly deliberate reference on the part of the author; superficial or random coincidental similarities (even very striking ones) do not qualify, so if you aren't certain, they probably are not an Expy. Because many character archetypes and tropes that compose characters are universal, it is easy for readers to fall into thinking that a particular character in the same general archetype resembles someone from their favorite show or novel, especially when Small Reference Pools lead readers to overestimate the cultural impact of their favorite characters.

It's more likely that the similarities are coincidental, unless someone at Nintendo confirms they based TP Link on Luke.

Is there a Word of God somewhere saying that Midna is nude? Did Miyamoto or Aonuma ever state that the black parts on Midna's body are actual skin versus clothing a la wearing shadows? Her character page shouldn't reflect one idea or the other until there is official confirmation.

There's no official statement as to whether Midna is naked or not, and given Nintendo's usual demographic that shouldn't come as a surprise, nor is it likely that there ever will be. The debate's been going on between fans ever since the game came out, but Wikipedia and the Legend of Zelda wiki - which a lot of people erroneously take as Word of God - are of the opinion that the black markings are a part of her skin. Looking at Ruto from Ocarina of Time, it wouldn't be the first time Nintendo made a technically-naked female character with Barbie Doll Anatomy in the Zelda series.

If they are clothes, they're ridiculously form-fitting and there's no logical way they'd stay on her body. Plus, in her true form she wears a skirt - and when she's shrunk by Zant her skirt and headdress disappear, so if the black markings are clothes why wouldn't they disappear as well? Even with the other Twili, the patches on their arms gradient from black to pale grey, making it clear that at least some of the markings are a part of their skin.

Regardless, I've commented the nudity-related tropes out.

...what is this even getting at? Is that even what It Is Pronounced "Tro-PAY" even means?
