The first one, or the only one?[edit]
The page reads:
- It is the first in the series to be released simultaneously with another title, Oracle of Ages.
It is also the first time two Zelda titles could interact with each other.
I've read many times on the internet "the first one" in place of "the only one so far". Is it American slang? Or, in this case, is there a second pair of Zelda games with such features? --Abacos (talk) 15:29, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- P.S.: I've also seen "series" often used in place of "two". Would you say: "My bike has a series of wheels: one in the front and one after"? :D :D :D Just kidding. I understand the necessity of using the "series" template for games with single sequel, instead of creating a further template that would be deleted when a third title is released. --Abacos (talk) 15:43, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
- But it is the first one. It's also the only one so far. Both statements are accurate. To my knowledge, no other such games are planned and to say "the only one so far" implies that there is knowledge of a second one under development, which is not the case. So I would argue that "the first one" is correct. "The only one" without the words "so far" might be better, but no one knows what the future may bring... Procyon 15:57, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
To my knowledge, to say "the first one" implies that a second one was released already. "The first one out of one" sounds wrong to me, like being first in a race with a single racer. I think the future will bring more edits :D :D :D For the time being, I'll go for "the only one". --Abacos (talk) 16:03, 15 January 2016 (UTC)
