I still believe it says, "Allahu Akbar". It sounds exactly like it. Although, that is kinda convincing. Also, if it's not because the Islamic community responded to the music, then why the hell did they get rid of the freakin track?

Are you questioning the facts? It's a bit like saying "WW2 never happened" when clearly, it did, and there's enough evidence to prove this

The video I posted proves that it was not because of public outcry, however, it is possible Nintendo themselves got the idea that it might provoke some, and removed it themselves. If that's not it, it's entirely possible that the localization team was given some creative liberties, and decided to have a go at making their own song, as a way to "put their mark" on the game, or something. Either way, fact is that no Islamic communities... or any other for that matter, had a say in it, because they didn't get a chance to

Was just saying. Don't have to be a know-it-all about everything.

Anyway, I can't wait for OoT 3DS to come out! Woot!

Know-it-all? Cremeens, attitude like that isn't very nice. I wasn't being a know-it-all, I was simply stating the facts. IE answering your question, which I mistook as a statement. Either way, there's no reason to call anyone out like that. It doesn't help you, it doesn't help me, and it certainly does not help anyone else either.

And the new Gerudo symbol is much better then the moon and the star anyway.

Are you kidding? All it is is a wrench with two circles and borders.
I loved the original Sun and Moon, I grew up with it! I didn't like it in MQ

But that, is exactly like the Islamic symbol. I don't know if it is supposed to be, but look.


Islamic symbol,

Mirror shield.

Thank you XD

If anything, Muslim-ania or wherever they live should be happy Nintendo decided to show them off.



Am I the only one who thinks it looks like a wrench with fancy borders? It looks so stupid!

[Tree]

Yes, It does kinda look like that. But it's better. It's more original looking then just a moon and a star.

[Jared]

Well eitherway, it needs designs on the sides of it.

But according to your images, they aren't identical. The moons face opposite directions. These things matter with symbols.

Also, the crescent moon in OoT comes closer to forming a full circle, with the star further out, but I don't know whether that actually matters to the Islamic symbol.

A wrench? Hahaha, I never saw it like that. That's amusing.

I thought it was extremely cool that they differentiated MQ from the original by replacing all instances of a certain symbol, because that symbol showed up in the darndest of places. Basically I think they should keep both.

Why does anyone care about the design of the mirror shield? I hate to be a downer and all but does it really matter? How about debating over something a little more practical, like how Nintendo is modifying the water temple.

*facepalm*
There are just so many things wrong with this sentence that I don't even know where to begin.

[Moonbread]

I like the original design as well, but the new one makes sense, since it is the actual symbol of the Gerudos. Whatever. It's just a shield. Most of the time my sword is out and I'm never looking at it.

Also... Muslim-ania? Are you serious? That's really all I have to say...

It was a joke, first of all.

Are you joking? That is a terribly ignorant thing to say. I swear, if there were any Muslims on this site. Not really that big of a deal, but you have to be careful when you're talking about sensitive things like religion.

Fine then, where do Muslims live? I honestly have no idea.
