Just One of Those Random Thoughts

[LanceLercher]

How would Nintendo deal with amputees in Zelda? Would they completly shy away from them? Would they go for a magic aproach? Would they go for a cyborg aproach? Would they go for the old fashioned peg? Would they only go for one type of amputation ex: arm, leg, etc? Sorry if they already have amputations in the series, tell me about them if they exist (unless they are on like a skeleton or something).

The replacement for the limb would be made out of MIST.

I would argue that it depends where on the timeline the game takes place. I could see a magic approach around Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask on the child timeline as well as A Link to the Past, The Legend of Zelda, and Zelda II Adventure of Link on the Hero is Defeated Timeline; a standard peg would during darker times like Twilight Princess leaving a cyborg approach for industrial revolutions such as that occurring around the time of Spirit Tracks.

I believe they would go with a wooden amputee.

Yeah I think it would depend on the timeline, like ALIT said...this really is a random thought xD

Well this is an interesting thought indeed. They would go for wooden appendages in OOT or games where there is less technology or a mechanical one in TP or spirit tracks where things are more advanced.

I also think it completely depends on the game and/or what race the amputee is. However i think a peg leg would be the most common

It all really depends on the game where and what kinda person a gruff rough person might have a pegg leg, a magical person may have a magic like leg, although a cyborg is possible anywere in the timeline since they have alout of technology in SS only certain places would it actualy fit well, like in ST i could imagine a cyborg leg
