Zelda experts needed

Postby Nate » Sun Mar 06, 2011 2:11 am

So I was browsing "a certain website" tonight when I came across a very excellent picture depicting a multitude of characters from the Zelda universe. I tried to name each one, but was unable to...however in a Skype chat, Fish and I were able to pretty much nail down almost every character in the picture.

BUT. We're not 100% sure if we're right about them all, and there are a few that we can't figure out completely. So that's where you guys come in! I took the original picture, threw it up in MS Paint, and slapped numbers on the characters for ease of reference. The ones I'm unsure of have question marks next to their names. Can you help us name everyone in the picture?

Note: This picture might be too small for some people...Photobucket is kind of a pain when it comes to this stuff. If it shows up too small for you, try this link:

And now, here is the list of all 101 characters from the picture (as best we can tell):

21. Skyward Sword
22. Tatl
23. Tael
24. Navi
25. Fado

(Completely out of order.)

96 I'm thinking is correct. The facial markings/makeup/stuff is the same.
72 looks like one of the guards at the palace (I think.).
98 and 100, I couldn't think of any other thing than what you had.
43 might (and I mean might, I've never actually played the game) be correct. I'm just going by the facial hair. And the fact that he has to show up somewhere, right?
8, it seems correct but I'm not 100% sure.
20 seems correct.
16...I've got nothing. I might have guessed the fairy from Lttp since I can't remember fairies in TP, but the LttP fairies wear dresses.

But I must say, I wouldn't have gotten that far. I tried, I couldn't.
You haven't seen it before? It's been floating around the Internet for a number of days now.

I'm fairly certain 16 is the great fairy from Twilight Princess. I can't offer anything helpful for any of the other ones, though.

Like Ante, I wouldn't have gotten that far. I haven't played all the games. XD;

#72 could be the Deku Scrub who gets turned to wood (suggested to be the source of the mask Link uses). I don't think he had a name but one of the other Scrubs mentions him as his son. That's the only really new thing I have to add.

I agree with #96 being correct. I'd guess the same for #98 and #100, but that seems odd thematically to me.

43 is definitely Linebeck, I agree that 98 is Link's mother and 100 is baby Link because I'm reminded of the Ocarina of Time manga beginning... I think 72 is either one of the guards from the Deku Palace or the Deku Butler's son.

You guys did a really awesome job getting down all those obscure names, though. O__O

Also... Kafei and Anju <3 *__*...

Zelda Wiki helped.

The hardest ones to determine were Anjean (neither one of us had played Spirit Tracks to any great degree) and Ralph (I had forgotten all about that guy). Looks like number 8 is the only one left without any real confirmation. I mean I can't imagine who else it could be besides the King, although it's hard to tell which king. I don't think it's the Wind Waker king, but there aren't many other kings in the Zelda games.

You did a great job naming them, Nate!! :D I got about 90% first time a saw that pic. My sibs and I have played most of the Zelda games and were able to recognize most of the characters. :D Very cool pic. Love it. <3
