Talk:List of spirits (The Legend of Zelda series)

I saw this entry twice-or rather listed under these 2 things. Wouldn't those both be the same Link? Thanks. Collateralshrek (talk) 18:01, 25 November 2018 (EST)

Moon source?
Previously, the page listed SSBU as the source of the Moon's artwork. However, after comparing it side-by-side with the Moon's assist trophy artwork, I realized they were slightly different. Upon doing a reverse image search on Google, I was able to find the same artwork used in this Nintendo of Europe Twitter post from 2015. That proves it definitely isn't original to SSBU, since it predates SSBU by over 3 years, but it does raise the question: where is it from originally?

The Twitter post is most likely advertising the then-recently released Majora's Mask 3D, so it could be promotional artwork from that game. However, it also looks like it could be a render of the Moon's more detailed model from Hyrule Warriors (released in 2014). Either way, I can't seem to find the original source. Does anyone else know where this is from? --PeabodySam (talk) 23:20, 13 December 2018 (EST)


 * After doing some more digging, I've found this @ZeldaOfficialJP Twitter post on February 4, 2015, just a couple weeks before the release of Majora's Mask 3D. This seems to be the earliest source of the image I can find, with no relevant Google results being found before 2015. Therefore, I'm reasonably sure that this is Majora's Mask 3D promotional artwork and not Hyrule Warriors. I hope I answered my own question. I don't know if anyone else was interested in this, but there we go... --PeabodySam (talk) 15:32, April 3, 2020 (EDT)

Fairy Bottle
Someone knows Fairy Bottle's artwork source? it looks like a 3D model, but i can't see where it from.Capstalker (talk) 06:26, 22 January 2019 (EST)

So, has no one ripped the Link's Awakening spirits from the game files yet?
I'm honestly baffled that at this point we still use the Smash Twitter's jpgs when the Dragon Quest spirits have all been already ripped and placed into their own gallery, yet that's not the case for two Spirits that have been in the game for longer. --DigitalHazard (talk) 12:28, 19 August 2019 (CST)
 * Neither of the Link's Awakening spirits were ripped yet due to changes made in recent updates over how Spirits tied to Spirit Board events are stored, effectively making ripping them harder. Spirits that are not exclusively tied to events, or those who were introduced/ripped before said update, are not affected by this. NokiiSig.png Nokii — 15:01, August 18, 2019 (EDT)

Byrne/Staven
The Byrne spirit is listed here using the same artwork as a spirit I have called Staven can anyone explain YoungLink13 (talk) 16:01, December 29, 2019 (EST)

Aha I have worked out they are different regions names thank you who ever put put in the name change. YoungLink13 (talk) 16:08, December 29, 2019 (EST)

Rauru Spirit Battle - Which Sages are They?
So, although Rauru has more of a relation with the ancient sages, I am almost certain the sages are meant to represent the modern sages (Riju, Teba, Sidon, and Yunobo)

While yes, the sages of Wind, Lightning, and Fire could reference either, it's the sages of Water and Spirit that seem to imply so. Both the Inkling's color and gender is more like Sidon than the ancient Sage of Water, while Mineru only uses her robot form in the present.

Want to make a discussion for explanation and a final decision. Ma321 (talk) 14:28, January 12, 2024 (EST)


 * I was wondering about this as well. It would make more logical sense for Rauru to battle with the six sages of his time, since Zelda never battles along the modern six sages. However, the point of the Inkling being male does bring it into question, since the Zora Sage of Rauru's time was female. I'm leaning more towards it being the ancient sages, and the light blue was just chosen because it most closely resembles the color of water. As for Mineru, her Construct form is the only form we see her battling in, so it makes the most sense to reference it. I could really see this going either way though.

 * I mostly concur with Meanscreen on this; I suspect that the intention is to specifically show the group from Rauru's time first and foremost. There's precedent for the gender of characters used in spirit battles not matching the ones they represent, anyway (for example, Pit as H'aanit). Miles ( talk)   18:40, January 12, 2024 (EST)
