::It is true that there are a lot of weird time travel shenanigans within Ages, but the primary issue I have is that trying to "explain away" these inconsistencies on the walkthrough itself can border on fanon (for example, calling the Zora a "liar" for telling Link that King Zora died, even though all in-game evidence at the time does indeed point to this outcome and there's no reason for the Zora to lie).

::I'm also a bit confused on what you mean by me replacing "north/south" with "up/down". From the link you posted, I don't see any instances of north/south being replaced. [[User:HitoJamal|HitoJamal]] ([[User talk:HitoJamal|talk]]) 06:29, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

::: You are right. Now that I checked again, I see it was just a section you restored (and I wonder why I removed it in the first place). --[[User:Abacos|Abacos]] ([[User talk:Abacos|talk]]) 21:44, 12 August 2021 (UTC)
== {{t|Drakkhen}} ==
I don't really understand how these could be considered part of the same series. Could you please review [[Special:Diff/948478|this diff]]? -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 08:09, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
: I just started playing ''The Sword of Hope'', and it has so much in common with ''[[Mandragore]]'': same "scenic view" graphics (it is not "first person", because you cannot turn), same interaction with the world through a list of commands (3 instead of 28, because of the obvious difference between the Game Boy and a computer keyboard), same bizarre logic to solve puzzles (take an item and bring it to the "right" spot, whatever the authors were thinking). Also, ''Mandragore'' is a French game, whereas ''The Sword of Hope'' has full of French names (Théo, Pascal, Martel, Camus/Camu, Ricard/Riccar, Hennessy, and so on) [edit: also "Shabow"/Chabeau and "Poliniak"/Polignac].
: ''The Sword of Hope'' is a spiritual sequel to ''Mandragore'' (just with a modern combat system and true experience levels), and the same companies, Kemco & Seika, developed ''Drakkhen 2: Dragon View''. If not part of the series, they are very closely related, and I prefer to avoid "series" of 2. --[[User:Abacos|Abacos]] ([[User talk:Abacos|talk]]) 09:41, 20 January 2022 (UTC)
::Series pages are generally about the series/story continuity, and less about the publisher. [[Drakkhen]] and [[Drakkhen II: Dragon View]] being on separate lines seems counter-intuitive. If those other games aren't part of the series, they shouldn't really be in the template, though they could be mentioned on the series page. -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 00:06, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
:::Edit undone. I also removed ''[[Phalsberg]]'', for the same reason. --[[User:Abacos|Abacos]] ([[User talk:Abacos|talk]]) 12:29, 22 January 2022 (UTC)
== What's up? ==
Congrats, I guess you haven't slept in a year. Enjoy this new adventure, and I hope we see you again in the future! -- [[User:Prod|Prod]] ([[User talk:Prod|talk]]) 15:52, 5 April 2022 (UTC)
