Call me when they legitimately add Zelda CD-i characters to Hyrule Warriorz. They gotta add King Harkinian.

At least now they can think it was his death that caused his bowels to explode and not his bowels causing his bowels to explode.

To think, having him turn and flee and being shot in the head while doing it is less embarrassing a death than how he historically died.

Lots of peeps died from illness. They didn't have the medicine we have today, and not to mention you risked infections, parasites and heaven knows what else went fighting in a different region than you're used to.

Many of the Wu officers that died from, like, 219-222 (I think) died from illnesses caused by Wei poisoning their water supplies with dead bodies while at Hefei. Add to the usual wear and tear of battles and weather and such, yeah, their immune systems were ****ed up.

Gan Ning died of dysentery. Horrible way to go.
Wanna write his epitaph ?
Sure.

"Here lies the famous Gan Ning. Died on the shitter."

Then here's one for the novel.

"Where will you be when your diarrhea hits?"

(It's funny because he was totes sick with it when he went out to face Shamoke and turned to flee... I like to think his bowels were going to explode and caused a huge lapse in judgement that day)
Don't let Ling Tong write it though or this would happen

The gallbladder thing with Jiang Wei may be somewhat apocryphal. I'm not sure. He went out fighting and got hacked to death (though killed several people before going out despite being really old; he went out like a badass) for sure.

The reason I say that the gallbladder thing may be an exaggeration is because of Achilles Fang's notes in his translation of the relevant chapters of the Zizhi Tongjian. He says that there's a comment about how Jiang Wei's gallbladder was as big as a bushel. This may have been a purely symbolic comment. Similar to the way in English we talk about somebody "having gall," in Chinese somebody with a big gallbladder is somebody considered brave or ballsy.



So it might be that the historian just stated that about his gallbladder to basically say that Jiang Wei was courageous and/or had some serious cajones.

tl;dr: I'm not sure it's literal.

There's a female Link now? Wasn't male Link androgynous enough?

I'm so out of the loop on everything.

Yeah you don't have to bother with that ****. I saw some of your ideas in the DW thread and they looked pretty cool.

Linkle is some character they're adding to Hyrule Warriors. I have no idea what she's supposed to be other than rule 63 Link, but I hope that she's Link's daughter.

And just like that, my respect for Jiang Wei has increased considerably as well as that of members of this forum.

Thank you. :)

I would hope that she is Link and Zelda's daughter in that case. But is the name really Linkle? That's terrible.

In the same week that Konami caved and gave MGS fans their waifu back, KoeiTecmo and Nintendo caved and gave the fans Linkle.

Linkle was concept for Link's sister in Hyrule Warriors. Now she's in the 3DS version. Not sure if she's still his sister.

Well for all we know, he could have just died like a bitch to the mutineers that were revolting against Zhong Hui. The historian may have invented the whole story about him fighting off rebels.

But here is what Achilles Fang writes in his notes:

Quote:
 
The Shi yu states: “After his death, Jiang Wei's body was opened; his gall bladder was as big as a bushel.” Sima Guang in his Zizhi Tongjian kao yi quotes this passage and writes, “A thing as large as a bushel cannot be contained in a human body. I suspect that 'bushel' is an error for 'pint.'” By this exaggerated story of the size of the gall bladder, the idea is conveyed that Jiang Wei was very courageous, the size of the gall bladder being always taken as an index of one's courage.


and here is the passage in the ZZTJ specifically referring to how Jiang Wei went out:

Quote:
 
Astonished, Zhong Hui said to Jiang Wei, “The troops are coming with some sinister intention. What shall we do?” Jiang Wei said, “There is nothing else to do but strike at them.” Zhong Hui sent his troops to kill the yamen and prefects he had until then held in confinement. Those within, however, piled up desks to blockade the doors. The troops attempted to hew the doors down, but could not break them open. Meanwhile, those outside the city gates scaled the walls with ladders, set fire to the walls and, in disorder, rushed in like a mass of ants. Arrows poured down like raindrops. The yamen and Prefects climbed to the roofs of the houses and came out; they then joined their own troops. Leading his attendants, Jiang Wei fought, killing five or six men by his own hand. The mass of troops grappled Jiang Wei and killed him, then rushed along and killed Zhong Hui. At that time, Zhong Hui was forty years old. Of Zhong Hui's generals and troops, several hundred were killed.


Jiang Wei may have been an incompetent commander, but if this is true he died like a badass.

It sounds too close to Link+Tingle, and that just makes me think of weird male pregnancy deviantart scenarios.

...

I need to never think about this ever again.
