Gannon Banned: Difference between revisions

m
Line 257:
* The game is called [[Super Mario Bros.|Super Mario Brothers]], NOT Super Mary-Oh Brothers, as some old Mario commercials would lead you to believe.
** Asking for Super Mario Bros. 4 to be made will lead irked fans to point out that ''it already exists''—only it was called ''[[Super Mario World (video game)|Super Mario World]]'' in the US.
* The page name/image refers to the [[Big Bad]] Ganondorf, aka Ganon (explicitly said so in the third game's manual), who is [[Common Knowledge|commonly believed]] to have gotten an additional "N" in ''[[The Legend of Zelda (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' but no other official sources. The reality is more complicated. "Gannon" was used in every Japanese game up until ''Triforce of the Gods'' (that is, ''[[The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past|The Legend of Zelda a Link To T He Past]]'') at the very least, and was the official romanization up until that point. This can be seen in ''[[Zelda II: The Adventure of Link|Zelda II the Adventure of Link]]'s'' intro text and game over screen, and [[Tot G]]'s end credits, where it refers to "Gannon's Tower". Whether due to a simple error or a deliberate choice, the American manual of the original game favored the spelling Ganon, and beginning with Zelda II, the American localizers explicitly went out of their way to change the spelling in-game, giving the appearance that the original three-N form was a simple misspelling, rather than an artifact of the Japanese version.
** Claiming that there is only one Link, that the games were released in chronological order, etc., is liable to get you laughed out of any timeline forum. Likewise is redirecting anyone with a timeline question to the Gametrailers timeline.
** The "Tetra"force theory — [[Sailor Earth|the theory that there are four pieces to the Triforce]], recieves quite a bit of hate.
Line 303:
* Never mention the "Giygas fetus theory" on an [[Earthbound]] forum. You WILL get banned (temporarily, at least).
* The main character of ''[[Kid Icarus]]'' is Pit. Trying to say his name is Icarus will get you laughed out of any Nintendo forum.
