#This article is beautiful. It is written in a concise manner, though it does not spare any detail. With thirty-six references, most of which are in-game citations, this article is wonderfully document. Furthermore, these quotes have been meticulously analyzed, shedding as much light as possible on this enigmatic portion of Zelda history.

Current nominations

River Zora

This page was refreshing for me. It's an older enemy that got limited exposure in the series. I thought the article was well-fleshed out and in-depth for such unpopular enemy. It has plenty of references, lots of details, a pleasing layout, everything you'd want in an article.User:Matt/sig 02:33, February 16, 2011 (UTC)

  1. Definitely one of the best enemy pages on the site, its got quite a nice layout without losing vital information, and doesn't confuse details across games unlike many other enemy articles. If it has any faults, its that it probably has a few too many images at the moment of writing, but it has a lot of accurate information and is presented in a good manner.

  1. I don't really know, it looks pretty messy to me. The page certainly has enough information, and quite a few references, but image usage especially makes the page seem just ... I don't know, umm ... messy is still the best term I can think of. Especially the trivia section. Just a bit of cleaning and it has my vote. ZENOX T C 22:16, 17 February 2011 (EST)
  2. As I have already voted "for" Hyrule Castle this month, I'll just say that it is a good article, but I would recommend losing the trivia section if you wish it to have a real chance at being featured. Vyselink
  3. The article is well written, and well-sourced. My only gripe is that it is perhaps the longest "common enemy" article, and it is not yet harmonized with the other "common enemy" articles that have, for the most part, taken on a similar layout. Once this is done, I think this'll be prime for featuring. — ciprianotalk 00:13, 14 March 2011 (EDT)

1. This picture just does not look good. I agree with Zenox. It is really messy. I hate that enemy anyway(Not that my opinion on the enemy itself matters.). TriforceSlash 12:24, 19 April 2011 (EDT) (this is about an article not a picture)'User:Mandi/sig 19:40, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Helmaroc King

This article is full of knowledge, without excess or repeated information. I think it has amazing detail, especially on the Appearances and Strategy section, and just shocked me when I first saw it. Including the figurine template and plenty of resources, I believe this article has the potential to be featured. --TheHK (T) (C) 18:05, 11 October 2011 (EDT)

Ikana Kingdom

File:Ikanastalfos.png

I know it's not the longest of articles, but the little information we have about Ikana Kingdom and its history has been gathered neatly in a well-written article. It has plenty of sources with the information that the game has scattered about this somewhat mysterious kingdom, and although it has some theory along with it, it is not too far-fetched. --Dany36 15:27, 15 April 2012 (EDT)

  1. This article pulls together scattered bits of information to form an informative, well-referenced, and interesting article on one of the mysteries of the series. This, to me, is what this wiki are all about: not just stating the obvious—what this character says and does or how to beat this boss—but going further than that so every reader takes away from an article. It's articles like these that bring the Zelda universe to life. — Hylian King [*] 21:11, 15 April 2012 (EDT)
  2. Informative, well-written and with plenty of references. Zeldafan1982 13:12, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
  3. This article is a great example of what articles on this wiki should be like. It is neat, informative, well-referenced, and delves into one of the most mysterious subjects within the Zelda universe without containing too much speculation or theory. Dannyboy601Talk 13:48, 16 April 2012 (EDT)
  4. This article has just about every reference relating to its subject that I can think of, which is great. Also written very in-universe, and concerning a topic that hasn't been covered to death. +1! Embyr 75  --Talk-- 12:00, 17 April 2012 (EDT)
