[edit] Release Date

This is pretty good, and I especially like how it is explained in the context of other Zelda games. One thing, though--is the North American release date in 2004 or 2005? Under the picture says 2004, but the bottom says 2005, so I'm assuming only one is correct.

The North American release date was earlier this month. --Evice 18:32, Jan 24, 2005 (UTC)

Why is The Minish Cap considered a Side-Story when the Oracle games, also developed by Capcom, are not? - zeppelincheetah

Because the Oracle games involve Ganon, Link and Princess Zelda. And let me remind you that both the Oracles and The Minish Cap are developed by Flagship, not Capcom. - A Link to the Past (talk) 18:46, 29 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Game

This is a 32-bit Zelda game. --ZachKudrna18@yahoo.com —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zachkudrna18@yahoo.com (talk • contribs)

[edit] Why is Majora's mask a main game and this a sub-game?

Is it because this game has Vaati?

Odd since Vaati's been in much more games than Majora. I don't think it makes sense.Mavrickindigo (talk) 22:06, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Guide-like content

If there aren't objections, I'd like to delete the Items, Skills, Crests, and Bosses sections. This kind of game FAQ content is not appropriate for Wikipedia. Sraan 00:37, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

No objections from me. Wikipedia is not an instruction manual. You could move it to a gaming wiki, though. -- ReyBrujo 01:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Ezlo

I think that maybe ezlo should have his own page. He isnt an xtremely important character in the series, but he does seem to be a popular one.Widkid85 23:18, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

There's nothing else to say though - is there? UltimateNagash 15:51, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Why not make a Four Sword-saga character page? Ezlo can have a bigger article on such a page. Because, no matter what we think about Ezlo's popularity/importance, there's just not a lot of info on the little dude, so not enough for his own page. Unlike little miss tp, Ezlo got a proper role as a sidekick and therefore, there's just not a lot of info about him. DreamingLady 10:30, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Just like Midna, Ezlo definitely deserves his own page. Go ahead and create it. There is/should be more then enough to tell about him. JackSparrow Ninja 10:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Midna didn't really deserve it, but I guess that's a matter of opinion. I'd actually prefer to see the Midna page turned into a Link's sidekick page. Anyway, I'm not against an Ezlo page, especially considering there's pretty much nothing about him right now.DreamingLady 07:24, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] GA pass

Mostly a good article, and no point going on hold. A few things that can make it even better.

• I'm not sure you need 4 images - remove one, or better explain them. Especially the first one needs a more detailed caption.
• The plot section is slightly crufty and long - I think you should merge it with the gameplay section, or at least shorten it to really relevant info. Some more real world refs (not Ezlo quotes) would be good in it too.
• The gameplay section should come before the plot, IMO.
• Rating(s) in the infobox need sources.
• Reviews and awards table is a bit too wide - can this be fixed?

[edit] Automated peer review

The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.

• Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.^[?]
• The script has spotted the following contractions: didn't, isn't, aren't, if these are outside of quotations, they should be expanded.
• As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2]^[?]
• Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.^[?]
