Welcome
Hi, welcome to ! Thanks for your edit to the Hyrule Prime page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! Arya Snow (talk) 23:33, March 14, 2015 (UTC)

Geography of Hyrule
I presume you got the information about the lands around the region of Hyrule from PMs with UN? May I ask when? - Arya Snow (talk) 06:36, March 31, 2015 (UTC)

Its from a question someone else asked Neph several years ago on TWCenter= in the lore thread I believe- might require a bit of archeology. I'm trying to dig it up as I write this...DarkInterloper (talk) 17:31, March 31, 2015 (UTC)

Portrait
Basically any hi-res render of a character's portrait, with backgrounds. Usually it's UN's job to upload them, so you generally don't have to be concerned with them too much. - Arya Snow (talk) 00:04, April 1, 2015 (UTC)

OK. Thanks for the heads up.DarkInterloper (talk) 00:12, April 1, 2015 (UTC)

Character names
The titles are added to character pages not to match the in-game unit name, but more because they're 'important' for the characters overall (nobody would refer Zelda without her title, for example). The space in front of page names is a new minor modification to the Wikia skin. - Arya Snow (talk) 07:22, April 17, 2015 (UTC)

Unique rebel generals
It seems they're still in the freeform campaign, but they definitely do not have any role in the plot. - Arya Snow (talk) 11:55, April 24, 2015 (UTC)

Unimplemented units
Do not create pages for unimplemented HTW units and stuff that can only be found through datamining. With the unit limit of 500 being dangerously near there's no guarantee that UN will add them to the game or not, and if he doesn't then there's no way this wiki can handle all these beta-related information. - Arya Snow (talk) 05:34, April 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yes, I'm only talking about 'Tsume' and 'Deku Liz Zi Ey': the first one is a mercenary hero that has been removed from the game, and the second as an easter egg that might or might not get added. And no, they aren't relevant as 'cut content', because they were never added to the game at the first place to be 'cut'. Including every single bit of cut content, updated model or changed storyline isn't simply possible when HTW is an unfinished product ongoing development. - Arya Snow (talk) 23:52, April 26, 2015 (UTC)

HD models
Do not upload HD models as separate files from the original ones. Instead, have them override the non-HD models entirely. - Arya Snow (talk) 15:11, April 29, 2015 (UTC)

Beetle
What's the point of creating this page? UN only said "I believe they might end up replacing my Orhats as the Deku Scrub siege unit.", which means whether the unit is going to be in the game at all is still a maybe, and a big, big MAYBE here. - Arya Snow (talk) 03:04, June 5, 2015 (UTC)

--Too much caffeine and overenthusiasm earlier today. The page might be useful if Neph adds them later, and they now canonically exist with the Huskus killing them for armor, but by all means delete it for now..DarkInterloper (talk) 03:26, June 5, 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, perhaps you should better control your enthusiasm. For example, only create pages for stuff that are, like, 95% sure to end up in the game or the story. That way I won't have to delete pages about stuff that UN axes before they get added. - Arya Snow (talk) 13:41, June 6, 2015 (UTC)


 * -Maybe you should your tone so you come across less like you're commanding users. Maybe you'll attract more wikia editors than 1. DarkInterloper (talk) 00:24, June 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * Eh, it's hard to not sound 'commanding' when you are constantly giving advice and guidelines on how to edit a wiki - and one which you've put a lot of effort into. And, let's be honest, I don't think many people on the forum has shown any interest in editing the wiki at all. Except for one guy, but he took my advice to heart and felt offended. - Arya Snow (talk) 00:00, June 9, 2015 (UTC)
 * My apologies if it came across like I was getting petty or offended, HTD. I really do have a keen interest in keeping this wiki alive and bringing more interest to it, and highly value any input you offer, even constructive criticism. You are privy to a lot of information from Neph the rest of us don't have access to, after all.DarkInterloper (talk) 00:25, June 9, 2015 (UTC)

Freeform titles
Titles for freeform generals are automatically given to them based on the traits they have. They are not canon story-wise. - Arya Snow (talk) 03:17, June 6, 2015 (UTC)

-Yes, hence why I'm finding and removing any that I or anyone else added. The only "canon" one is Vorday, as it appears on his dialogue box in in Hyrule Historia. Maybe the Zuna consider "Harsh" a term of endearment :pDarkInterloper (talk) 03:34, June 6, 2015 (UTC)

I also restored Akazoo and Agahnims 'Lord" titles, as those are actual noble titles, not trait based.DarkInterloper (talk) 03:34, June 6, 2015 (UTC)

Heroes and villains
I think you're taking the theme 'no clear cut good guy and bad guy' too far. Sure, both the protagonists and antagonists generally have acceptable motives and goals, and both attempt to accomplish them in ways that are morally questionable or wrong - but not all of them. Ganon and Zelda I can be either interpreted as heroes or villains, but what about the others? Bongo? Vaati? Zalunbar? I think they're pretty much bad guys; contrast with the like of Darunia, Saria or Gustaf. My point is: even though stuff in the mod are presented as morally grey, there are still enough good guys and bad guys to guarantee the existence of these categories. - Arya Snow (talk) 04:31, June 26, 2015 (UTC)

-We don't really know about Bongo's motivations given that she's possessed by Dethl and was influenced by the Eye of Truth prior to that...but yeah, a number of few "villain" characters are irredeemable evil/crazy.DarkInterloper (talk) 20:22, June 28, 2015 (UTC)

Gohma Nest
I haven't had much time to follow HTW recently, but where's the evidence for this unit? It sounds suspiciously similar to the Hive Keepers, by the way. - Arya Snow (talk) 01:41, October 23, 2015 (UTC)

-They are a new (what appears to be) Siege unit visible in the playthrouh for The Knight in Green. Based on their mechanics they're clearly a siege unit, probably to balance things. There have been rumors of Acid Sprayers getting axed but i cannot confirm that, hence their page is untouched. And we don't know the official name yet- there is however a model in the Gohma file named "gohma_nest" that looks almost identical to these new units, though it may be referring to the buried nests in Of Princess and Portents. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9AG08n_WVI you can see them firing around 12:00.

DarkInterloper (talk) 03:38, October 23, 2015 (UTC)

-And yeah, they do seem to very similar to hive keepers, probably an esplosive variant to brign down walls.DarkInterloper (talk) 03:38, October 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * I asked UN. Apparently, there is indeed a new ranged Gohma unit, but it has yet to be named. I'm 100% sure that the gohma_nest file is, indeed, referring to the nests in Of Princess of Potents instead of this new unit. - Arya Snow (talk) 09:38, October 24, 2015 (UTC)
