Yeah, the irony of the Octoroks' figurine in TWW is too much to bear now. Come on!, they KNEW Octoroks were the only enemies that were featured in every game. They at least could've kept that tradition.

Paul and CA> Deku means "wooden figurine". Check some random translation site if you need proof. And the name "deku" applies to pretty much everything ever called Deku-something. I think you should just interpret it as "something made of wood". Everything ever called Deku was made of wood or a plant(part).

I used http://www.freedict.com/onldict/jap.html and it came up blank with deku on exact, and gave dekupa-ju as carving, cutting up when I checked off the exact.

@johnny139,
bet you wanted to see them DoAX2 style, huh :P *kidding*

Um, Deku Toad? The mini-boss of the Lakebed Temple in TP. He most certainly wasn't plant-like.

Yeah, I was wondering about the Deku Toad myself.

I'm aware not every online dictionary knows this japanese word. But a lot more than just this site are capable of translating "deku". (btw, it's not figurine, but figure or doll, my mistake).

The Deku Toad indeed is the only exception. I have no clue why it is called Deku. Then again, I don't know anything about it except how to kill it.

Octoroks... they... weren't there. Those retarded toadpolis were there, instead. And... D: -whines-

I missed Deku Scrubs, Gerudo... Moblins, Miniblins. ... And Tingle. I know it's a scary thought for some, but I was dying to see Tingle in Twilight Princess graphics.

I missed Wolfos, too. And Golden Skulltula. And... green chu. But... more than green chu, electrified chu. And... miniblins. And the grotesque, terrifying Floormasters from Ocarina of Time. (I've heard there's some Wallmasters, but from what I've heard, they just aren't the same.)

Hero Link

Hehe.... If you want to see Tingle, then go inside the STAR tent...

Commodore Axilon

Um, that's not Tingle. His name is Purlo, and he looks nothing like Tingle.

You, sir, are not nice. :(

I still think he looks nothing like Tingle.

ZOMG hes wearng green he must b tingle!!1!!!1!

johnny139

But he was based on Tingle. Tingle in the real world.

Commodore Axilon

I understand that, buddy-boy. I said, and I quote, "I still think he looks nothing like Tingle." The only resemblance I see is they both wear green, and my succeeding statement addressed the stupidity of that.

I'm not disagreeing he was based on Tingle, I just think they could've been a bit more obvious about it. Like, oh I don't know, make him look like Tingle!

Mole on his cheek. Pointy green hat. Love of money. That's about as obvious as it can get.

Arrgh! Stop destroying my argument!

If they wanted to make Tingle appear in TP they should've done it where he looked like, you know, Tingle. It's not like the Tingle in MM wasn't realistic or anything, so I don't see why they wanted to make him "realistic."

And I'm not arguing this anymore. It's horribly off-topic.
