Differences from previous games
Prior Zelda games have employed a theme of two separate, yet connected, worlds. In A Link to the Past, Link travels between a "Light World" and a "Dark World"; in Ocarina of Time, as well as in Oracle of Ages, Link travels between two different time periods. The Zelda team sought to reuse this motif in the series' latest installment. It was suggested that Link transform into a wolf, much like he metamorphoses into a rabbit in the Dark World of A Link to the Past. The concept for Link to transform into a wolf and its surrounding narrative elements came from a dream that Aonuma had while overseas on a business trip. He dreamt that he was a wolf, locked inside a cage, and after he woke up, he was confused and disoriented and it took a while for him to remember where he was. The story of the game was created by Aonuma, and later underwent several changes by scenario writers Mitsuhiro Takano and Aya Kyogoku. Takano created the script for the story scenes, while Kyogoku and Takayuki Ikkaku handled the actual in-game script. Originally, Link was planned to be a wolf from the game's start to bluntly contrast the Ocarina of Time formula, but this was changed so that new players could be eased into Zelda's traditional gameplay and narrative formula. The narrative premise in the story regarding the children of Ordon village getting kidnapped was an example of the game featuring darker story elements than any past iteration.

From a gameplay perspective, the "twilight world" portions of the game were vaguely inspired by the fact that prior Zelda games had always distinctively separated its dungeons from its overworld. It was wondered what the result would be if you took a traditional Zelda dungeon and put it inside the open world instead. This resulted in the hunt for tears of light the player partakes in when in the twilight covered world. Regarding the atmosphere of the Twilight covered Hyrule, as well as the Twilight Realm dungeon later in the game, the intent was to make players feel uncomfortable, however special care was taken to ensure that this was balanced right, so that it did not make the player so uncomfortable that they did not want to progress further or could not enjoy the experience.

Aonuma left his team working on the new idea while he produced The Minish Cap for the Game Boy Advance. When he returned, he found the Twilight Princess team struggling. Emphasis on the parallel worlds and the wolf transformation had made Link's character unbelievable. Aonuma also felt the gameplay lacked the caliber of innovation found in Phantom Hourglass, which was being developed with touch controls for the Nintendo DS. At the same time, the Wii was under development with the code name "Revolution". Miyamoto thought that the Revolution's pointing device, the Wii Remote, was well suited for aiming arrows in Zelda, and suggested that Aonuma consider using it.

Artwork and Graphics
In this game, Link's wolf form was designed using cartoon technology in order to give his wolf form a fairy-type quality that is absent in his human form. Zelda and Midna's designs hail from opposite sides of the world, as Zelda's outfit is of the Western world while Midna has a Middle Eastern flavor.

New Block Appeal
Like I said above I totally rewrote my proposed section of the article. Is it suitable now? Thank you. Sandbagging (talk) 05:34, 11 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Some other admin will review this; I'm ignorant in the subject matter -- I just recognized cut-and-paste. --jpgordon&#x1d122;&#x1d106; &#x1D110;&#x1d107; 14:45, 11 May 2020 (UTC)

New Section Draft for French Lick Resort Casino Article
If I want to add a picture to this article, should I upload it here on Wikipedia or on whatever Wikimedia site stores all the pictures? (I forgot its name) Sandbagging (talk) 23:41, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I suggest using File Upload Wizard, which will help you determine where to upload the picture and guide you through the copyright questions. GoingBatty (talk) 23:54, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks! I'll do that if my unblock appeal is successful. Sandbagging (talk) 23:56, 10 May 2020 (UTC)

Valley Tower
The newest expansion of the resort, Valley Tower, opened in November 2019. With 71 rooms and suites, it offers a new type of resort experience, with modern and spacious accommodations and adjoining rooms. It is also situated on the grounds of the French Lick Springs Hotel, allowing convenient access to both the Event Center and the casino.

Saving this for later
Putting this here because I wish there was really a Wikipedia version of Monopoly and I find this board amusing.

Sorry to sound impatient; I'm just wondering when my unblock request will be reviewed and either approve or denied. Thank you. Sandbagging (talk) 21:13, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
