===[[Octorok]]===
[[File:Octorok-grass.png|right]]
Octorok has been a very notable enemy, appearing in every game save Twilight Princess. It's only appropriate that such a notable enemy has a very complete article. While I wouldn't say this article is at its maximum potential, it certainly is far more complete than most of what we have on this Wiki. [[User:Zenox|Zenox]] 18:30, January 8, 2013 (CST)

# While this page does have a decent amount of info, it is still not up to par with what we can do. The formatting is sloppy, the writing is vague, and it doesn't have a nice wiki-looking-like look. [[User:Fused shadows|Fused shadows]] 20:49, January 24, 2013 (CST)
# Like what Fused said, the page has a good amount of info. However, it falls short from other great pages from bad formatting, its broad way of writing, and not a good layout/look. [[User:Odd300|:) Odd300 :)]] 13:32, January 27, 2013 (CST)
# Unfortunately, I believe that the very reason stated for this article's nomination is its downfall. The Octorok IS a very notable enemy, and it SHOULD have a very complete article -- but this isn't it. Many sections are small and insufficient. The gallery is expansive, but far from complete, with obvious omissions like the DS titles. The page as a whole seems very haphazard and disorganized; the pictures should probably be spread across the article a bit more to make it seem less like a ton of tiny sections of text. It's hard to get a nomination-worthy page for an enemy with so many appearances, and while it can be done, this is far from it.

# Zenox for HN.  Anyhow, I don't tthink this article is up to the standards of what a general enemy page should appear like, I.e. Deku Baba.[[User: A LINK IN TIME|A LINK IN TIME]] ([[User Talk: A LINK IN TIME|talk]])
# Yeah pretty much everything has been covered for why this ''shouldn't'' be featured yet. So just placing my vote. [[User:Justac00lguy|Justac00lguy]] ([[User talk:Justac00lguy|talk]]) 15:51, July 14, 2014 (MDT)

===[[Elde Inn]]===
[[File:Eldeinn.png|right]]
The Elde Inn plays such a small role in ''Twilight Princess'', and most don't even know it exists. This page is jam-packed with info, references, trivia, and an all around great look. A couple of images of the interior would really put it over the top, but it's still great without those images. This page deserves a nomination.

# I think this is a great article and like you said there is a lot of information, trivia, references all for such a small location. Also you said it could do with some pics of the interior and I managed to get some. So I think this is page is pretty much complete, great job btw! [[User:Justac00lguy|Justac00lguy]] 22:12, March 10, 2013 (GMT)
# This is a wonderful page with a lot of information for a minor location. Containing trivia, references, and images, this is a great standard for pages on the Wiki. [[User:Odd300|&#58;) Odd300 :)]] 18:07, April 29, 2013 (CDT)
# This is a pretty solid piece on a fairly small subject. Could use some improved pictures, but I support this. [[User:Mases|Mases]] ([[User talk:Mases|talk]]) 12:17, April 24, 2014 (MDT)

# Okay, seriously, why haven't I voted for this yet? I swear this is the fifth time or something I've come here to do so... Anyway, this is an excellent page. Images are well-placed and abundant, and it isn't lacking in references. From what I've read, it seems to be written well. It appears pretty complete. I see no reason why it shouldn't be featured, especially considering how long we've gone without a new feature.

# This page is very descriptive in its content. Plenty of information that took time to compile. The Main Page could do with a rotation in the featured article and featured image, and this one fits the qualities we're looking for.

# I'm going to have to say no. We can't just feature an entire group of pages at once. It takes away from any one page and each page should be getting featured on its own merit. As good as the pages might be as a whole, they need to be voted in individually, and that might not go well then because they'd just be one of many in that case. I wouldn't be opposed to a new system to highlight groups of pages for their worth (which would be something interesting that other wikis don't offer), but that wouldn't work here for featured, individual, articles. The way the system is set up just wouldn't allow it. — {{User:Matt/Sig}} 12:46, May 3, 2014 (MDT)

# I agree with Emma. The concept of the Featured Article is that ''one'' article is featured on the Main Page. The other nominations are singular articles. You could nominate the best of the articles, and it wouldn't contradict the idea of the Article Nomination system.

===[[Oocca]]===

[[File:Oocca_Small.png|right]]
[[File:Oocca-Race.png|right]]
This page is probably one of the better ones we have regarding a Zelda Race. It has full sections regarding the Oocca's origin, physical characteristics, and in-game relevance. It is also packed with images and references, and has a nice trivia section. It is the peak of a page for Races, and I think it'd be great to have it as a featured article. {{User:Fused shadows/Sig}} 12:11, January 3, 2014 (MST)

===[[Marin]]===
[[File:Marin Futabasha DX Guide.png|right|120px]]
Marin has one of the most complete pages on our wiki. It contains tons of information that is well-organized and documented, with plenty of references from a wide variety of sources. It is filled with everything that you could want from a wiki page: translations, trivia, a huge plethora of images and artwork, and even non-canon appearances. Although we have already nominated a lot of character pages, I believe this still deserves to be considered.

# Yes. I thought this page would have been nominated earlier to be honest. It's very well structured, detailed and well written, a good amount of pictures in the gallery, and tons references. Overall just a really great page on the Wiki. [[User:Justac00lguy|Justac00lguy]] ([[User talk:Justac00lguy|talk]]) 11:25, October 29, 2014 (MDT)
#I liked this one. Just stumbled across it when I needed a page with a lot of references and wow did it have a lot. It makes a perfect example of everything you need to have for a character page. Every relevant piece of information is in there somewhere.— {{User:Emma/Sig}} 19:20, July 22, 2015 (UTC)
# Yes. This article is full of information and is well written. It also has great pictures and trivia. I'm surprised that it hasn't been nominated already. [[User:ZD Wiki Editor|ZD Wiki Editor]] ([[User talk:ZD Wiki Editor|talk]]) 05:23, May 4, 2016 (UTC)

===[[Ganon]]===
[[File:Dark Beast Ganon.png|right|120px]]
Ganon has an extensive and rather detailed page that has yet to be featured. Providing information from every game he appears or is even referenced in, the page doesn't leave any room for a lack of information. The page is one of the longer pages on the wiki, but that just means it has more details. It has graphics to accompany each appearance, and provides many trivial facts. The page definitely deserves at least the acknowledgment of being nominated. [[User:TheDoctor8910|TheDoctor8910]] ([[User talk:TheDoctor8910|talk]]) 02:00, October 20, 2018 (UTC)
