Talk:Princess Zelda

I think this page should be deleted. Anyone agree? Paper Jorge 18:56, 1 September 2006 (EDT)
 * I would do so right away, as Super Smash Bros. is more of a inbetween-world than part of the Marioverse, but I see one of our other sysops, Son of Suns, edited this page. I want to hear his explanation first. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 19:10, 1 September 2006 (EDT)
 * The Super Smash Bros. series is a cross-over between the Marioverse and other Nintendo series. As such, information from the Super Smash Bros. series is relevant to the Marioverse, but only from the persepctive of the Marioverse. That's why all info about Zelda is from her trophy descriptions. Any more info from the Legend of Zeldfa series would be out of universe. I only expanded this page because I thought it would be a good example of a cross-over article. Zelda is a part of the extended Marioverse, and has a small part in this wiki. However, like I've said before, we shouldn't go overboard with expanded Marioverse articles. We need to concentrate on the traditional Marioverse while slowly expanding spin-off and cross-over franchises. See Bomberman for another example of a good cross-over character article. -- Son of Suns
 * I see a lot of SSB-related content, such as attacks and story background, and only the second paragraph involving anything in the Marioverse, and nothing about trophies. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 16:11, 2 September 2006 (EDT)
 * The trophies is the source of the information. Like I said before, SSB is a cross-over series that interconnects with the Marioverse. Only info from SSB is relevant to the Marioverse, so that's why her trophy background and attacks are included in the article. Info from the Legend of Zelda series would not be relevant, as that series is distinct from the Marioverse. It's like the Alien and Predator movie series. Both are distinct series that are only connected through the movie Alien vs. Predator. Info in that movie is relevant to both universes. However, info from the other Predator movies is not relevant to the Alien series as a whole, and vice versa. Only info from the cross-over movie is relevant to both and only from the persepctive of the respective universes. Plus, we have lots of other articles from the SSB series, including Master Hand and the Fighting Wire Frames. If one SSB article is deleted, all should be.-- Son of Suns
 * As I said on MarioWiki talk:List of PipeProjects, I'm willing to compromise. This article can stay as it has a slight cross-over connection, but should not be of any primary focus like the Big Eight. Wayoshi ( T&middot;C&middot;@ ) 22:56, 2 September 2006 (EDT)
 * Agreed. The extended Marioverse should not take focus away from more pressing traditional Marioverse articles. --Son of Suns
 * I also have a say in this. Shouldn't Ganondorf be deleted too? This is a MARIO wiki. Not the Zelda. Super Mario 256 12:12, 22 April 2007 (EDT)

Name
It's interesting to note that all sources in SSBM name her just Zelda, not Princess Zelda (while other characters such as Fox have their full name in their trophies). Shouldn't she be filed at Zelda then? - 11:45, 24 June 2007 (EDT)

Hmm. Check her trophy. It is her official title in the Zelda series, so I think it remain the same. 11:48, 24 June 2007 (EDT)
 * I have read the trophy. After all, I'm just collecting opinions. - 11:49, 24 June 2007 (EDT)
 * I think the article should be referred to as "Zelda", as all other characters in Smash Bros. get their articles' names to be the same as their trophy.
