This enemy is never been in a game with mario

I'd assume it's because it's a variation of a Mario series enemy. Thwomps originate from the Mario series and while I've never played Link's Awakening in any form, I do know that it takes a lot of enemy inspiration from the Mario series, so it's more than likely that this enemy is meant to be a spin-off from Thwomps themselves, despite not being from a Mario game.
 * This is far from the only case where the Zelda franchise has done this -- Manhandla is established as a Piranha Plant variant, for one, and its only presence on this wiki is a brief reference on the Piranha Plant page. Mega Thwomp should definitely be the same way. 73.171.36.107 20:51, August 11, 2023 (EDT)
 * Manhandla just hasn't been split yet. Thwomps is Thwomps, no matter what game they are in. And the Zelda games have a whole slew of Thwomps in them, not just this, and the previous system of covering them all on the main Thwomp page was awkward.

 * That's ridiculous. This is Super Mario Wiki, not Thwomp Wiki. Let Zelda Wiki handle their whole slew of Thwomps.
 * Was this a proposal? I can't fathom why it would be decided that this is within the scope of MarioWiki. 73.171.36.107 19:25, August 13, 2023 (EDT)
 * I think the better solution for this article is to just merge its info into the Thwomp article, the main Thwomp article already does discuss this and I think that coverage is good enough. 19:31, August 13, 2023 (EDT)
 * It's within the scope of the wiki because it's a literal derivative of a Mario enemy. 19:42, August 13, 2023 (EDT)
