[edit] Legend of Zelda

Link is NOT an Elf, he is Hyrulian and human. Zelda IS an Elf, and so is (I believe) Ariel from The Wind Waker. I'm going to delete that Link statement and replace it with "Zelda of The Legend Of Zelda is an Elf." or something along those lines. (User failed to sign and date their comment)

Where are you getting this from? Elves are never mentioned in the Zelda series at all, as far as I know. Rather both Zelda and Link are said to be Hylians - although each game has a slightly different scenario, and Link often is only later revealed to be a Hylian. In any case, I suggest the whole Zelda section be rewritten to say they are "elf-like", or simply removed altogether. Thorf 21:04, 21 October 2006 (UTC)


here is my beleif: Hyrulians are elves. IN wind waker hyrulians are extinct. Arial is link's sister link is human (hero of time reincarnated) therefor his sister Arial is also human. Zelda is reborn as Tetra a human. Oxinabox1 01:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Tetra isn't Zelda reborn, she's just a direct descendant. Personally I'm more annoyed about the fact its been categorised as an RPG. --Bisected8 18:26, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Elves in Exile

There seems to be a convention that elves as a race are in exile, should something be said of this? I believe it stated with tolken the elves being in exile for Valhai (sp? middle earth hevean. but i a lot of books this is portayed as the elves being form an alternate plain (or dimention or world) and are slowly tying to get back over many generations. this excile is impoortant because when elves die (or wish to leave because they are being hunted etc.) they (in these books) return to there home plain/ country or slip down in to anther plain to continue there search. comments --Oxinabox1 01:43, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Elves in RPGs" section

I think the criteria for this section are a bit too ambiguous. Its seems to include both TCGs, P&Ps and Video games. Plus is LoZ actually an RPG? (well I won't start that argument here). --Bisected8 18:28, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Warcraft Section

I know this isn't terribly important, but the small mentioning of the High Elves in Warcraft is a bit off. The elves that choose to follow Kael'thas and go to Outland ( or those that followed, stayed, and were ordered to reclaim Quel'thalas ) became Blood Elves, while there are, according to one of the RPG books, quite a few surviving High Elves who didn't choose to follow their prince-- around three or so thousand. Just thought I'd point that out. I would've changed the section, but I'd like to see how important everyone else thought it first. --Super Bhaal 15:43, 7 May 2007 (UTC)
