Breath of the Wild armor set tags

Posted under Tags

BUR #3650 has been rejected.

A few weeks ago, I decided to tag all of Link's alternate armor sets in Breath of the Wild. I named them all following the example of Gerudo Link. This does not match with the apparently standard scheme of naming outfits, which is character_(outfit), such as mecha-fiora (speed armour).

EDIT: This bulk update request is pending automatic rejection in 5 days.

There are two naming schemes for outfits. The first scheme is putting the modifier first:

The second scheme is the character_(outfit) scheme used in Azur Lane and other gacha games. Which form is used depends on the copyright. For some copyrights the first form is more natural. I would argue the current form is more natural for Zelda games because it's consistent with Toon Link, Young Link, and Dark Link.

How about going with a set of general tags, like snowquill_set? They're just different clothes in the game, not separate personas like Toon Link. Plus there's a good chunk of Zelda art wearing the armor sets like post #3066508, and having a bunch of character and cosplay tags on a solo image just clutters the tag list.

I think this could work fine. The armor sets aren't even clothes handmade for Link or anything, besides the Zora set, a lot of them are just everyday outfits being sold in typical clothing stores. More than a few of them are even worn by other characters in game.

rename ancient_link -> ancient_set
rename snowquill_link -> snowquill_set
rename desert_voe_link -> desert_voe_set
rename flamebreaker_link -> flamebreaker_set
rename stealth_link -> stealth_set
rename zora_link -> zora_set
rename soldier_link -> soldier's_set
rename climber_link -> climbing_set
rename barbarian_link -> barbarian_set
rename radiant_link -> radiant_set
rename rubber_link -> rubber_set
rename royal_guard_link -> royal_guard_set
rename hylian_link -> hylian_set
remove implication gerudo_link -> link
remove implication stealth_link -> link

Setting up a new BUR with renames to the general "set" tags, as well as removing some existing implications before aliasing the more populated tags (i.e. gerudo_link).

I'm also thinking the new tags may need qualifiers, maybe something like "_(zelda)" or "_(botw)", since some of them seem too plain, like rubber_set or stealth_set.

This is one reason why I prefer character tags for unique outfits. It's confusing when you see things like climbing set in the tag list and you think it's just some generic object (if you even see it buried under the 50 other gentags on the post), but in reality it's a unique outfit for Link. Fate does this all the time with costumes dresses and it's horrible.

category gerudo_set_(zelda) -> general
category ancient_set_(zelda) -> general
category snowquill_set_(zelda) -> general
category desert_voe_set_(zelda) -> general
category flamebreaker_set_(zelda) -> general
category stealth_set_(zelda) -> general
category zora_set_(zelda) -> general
category soldier's_set_(zelda) -> general
category climbing_set_(zelda) -> general
category barbarian_set_(zelda) -> general
category radiant_set_(zelda) -> general
category rubber_set_(zelda) -> general
category royal_guard_set_(zelda) -> general
category hylian_set_(zelda) -> general

Followup to convert these from chartags to gentags (the rename left them as chartags).
