Moblin ring, Like like ring, Quicksand ring, Blue ring, Blast ring

a VERY MINOR item in the game, better addressed on its own originating game page

Delete, this should simply be included as a line item on the appropriate game page. Firebug 05:13, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC) (originally on Blast ring page, moved here)
delete, useless. Absolutely useless... Master Thief Garrett 22:42, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge if it's better addressed on the parent page. Kappa 23:20, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, there are 1000 Zelda items, none of which merit a page, nor even a mention in the main article. Tempshill 23:40, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I confess to not knowin enough to say whether this object deserves amention in the relevent game's article, but I do know that it doesn't deserve an article of its own. Delete. Rje 00:30, Apr 19, 2005 (UTC)
Merge into Zeldacruft³. -- 8^D ^gab 00:35, 2005 Apr 19 (UTC)
Merge Into moblin. Klonimus 07:07, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Good idea, but no, it does NOT belong in Moblin; Moblins do not wear it, it turns you into one!

Delete as fancruft, no encyclopedic value. Martg76 08:33, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Delete, not notable, cruft. Megan1967 08:59, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge all these Zelda ring articles together to a List of rings in Zelda games or similar. The moblin ring I recall was an utterly useless ring. Sjakkalle 09:23, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
Merge into games part of the The Legend of Zelda series article, though I would make the suggestion that perhaps the games should have their own article. -- Lochaber 01:29, 23 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Well, see, here's the thing. The two oracle games (Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Time) partially overlap, and allow you to take powerups from one to the other. They contain 64 rings in various hidden places (such as gasha trees), most of which have minor or trivial effects, and none of which are required to complete the game. Zelda fans strive to collect them all, which is significantly harder (because of randomness, mainly) than getting all heart pieces. A list of all 64 rings and where to find them would be appropriate on Gamefaqs. But probably not here. Weak delete as such, althouhgh a merge would be a possibility as well.

- Agreed, a ring list is definitely more FAQy than Wiki.Master Thief Garrett 23:15, 19 Apr 2005 (UTC)
