The result was keep. A valid disambugiation. If there were only two items, one could sort them with hatnotes, here there are 4. Tone 19:04, 12 August 2019 (UTC)

Unnecessary disambiguation, since it only points to items within the series of the same name. The series article does the same job, better. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 10:06, 5 August 2019 (UTC)

Keep per WP:DAB. The disambiguation page is useful as a directory for people to quickly find one of the entries, instead of searching through the main The Legend of Zelda page for them. Highway 89 ( talk) 17:30, 5 August 2019 (UTC)
- As a WP:THREEDABS, it's well within the threshold where that can be contained in a hatnote. There aren't so many entries also named "The Legend of Zelda" that is requires a disambiguation page. This is made even more redundant by the fact that they are all in the same series. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 07:52, 6 August 2019 (UTC)
- Comment How likely would someone searching for it be looking for cartoon series or the manga? I don't think they'd have any trouble finding them if they were looking for them. Pageviews: 1,153 in the past 90 days so someone must be coming here. No shortages of space on Wikipedia. I don't care whether its kept or deleted.

- Well yeah, it has pageviews since it's linked from the top of the Zelda article. Most likely all those people will just close the page once they realize it's a dupe of the series article. It's an active hindrance, not a help. ZXCVBNM ( TALK) 12:17, 7 August 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. I can't see a policy reason to delete: it's assisting navigation to 4 different articles. Shhhnotsoloud ( talk) 16:44, 12 August 2019 (UTC)
