Topic: Tag Implication: rito -> avian

Posted under Tag Alias and Implication Suggestions

Implicating rito → avian
Link to implication

Reason:

The rito are a species of avian-beings in the zelda series, coming in either bird humanoid form (a la medli) or anthro bird form (a la kass). Whichever form they are in, they are still a pretty obviously avian species as a whole and I feel that warrants at least an implication to avian.

1 Was originally gonna imply this to either equine taur/taur/equine or feline, but there are many cases in which this is just not helpful mainly due to how the top half is feline looking whereas the bottom half is equine. So you often get cases where media involving them either looks just like a plain equine taur, plain equine, or feline. So it's really just not accurate or helpful. Ergo, like how gnoll is implicated, I decided to suggest a base implication to mammal. If disagreed upon then at the very least it should imply the legend of zelda.

I thought we were supposed to avoid tagging individual games within a franchise.

if there is any then such information is too hidden away to be known by anyone since popular series like mario bros, pokemon or starfox all have tags for their individual games or other merchandise, many of them numbering in the hudreds...

as far as zelda goes i do think individual games should be tagged as not all characters carry over thru all games.
Actual species are another matter.

I am unsure about this rule, I was mainly just following what I've seen to be general tag standards involving characters that are pretty much exclusive to one installment in a series. Valoo for example has a wind waker implication, being a pretty much exclusive to WW character

To be honest, there isn't much consistency for which games within a franchise are allowed to have tags and implications and which ones can't/don't so I assumed we didn't do it for individual games. Series', on the other hand...

  • Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3 and 64 are aliased away while Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3d World are implicated. Mario and Luigi, and Paper Mario are also implicated but those are series' containing multiple games, not single games.
  • Sonic and the Secret Rings is aliased, Sonic Unleashed has a tag but no alias/implication.

My assumption is that the implications are created when a character/species unique to it becomes incredibly popular, and maybe that's why it's implicated and not aliased away? Like with midna and her twilight princess implication. I assume the same was meant for unleashed, due to werehog's existence, but maybe the creation of the implication was forgotten? Who knows

The individual franchises are good for when there are different forms, such as with Moblins and Lizalfos, but if a species only ever showed up in one game, there's no need.
