What counts as a source

• Nintendo’s own store and service pages.
• Zelda Wiki and Zelda Dungeon; mirrored or migrated Fandom material counts as the same source unless independently sourced.
• Wikipedia for dates and release facts that the game wikis also cover.
• News guides such as Polygon and GamesRadar for quest steps.
• A named interview transcript, such as the 1997 Famimaga conversation.
• A single Reddit thread, labeled as one community report, never as an official rule.

What the status column means

“3 sources” means three independent source accounts agreed; translations, mirrors and reports that repeat one announcement count as one account. “1 source” means I would not upgrade it. “Sources disagree” means I printed both wordings. An empty cell means I found no number worth printing. I do not estimate prices, ages, button names, or file sizes.

How a page is written

Each page answers one question. The first paragraph gives the answer. Tables hold the comparison. The note at the bottom says what judgment I made and ends with one limitation sentence. Corrections are read at [email protected]. If a source changes, the Updated date on the page moves with it.

Pictures and quotations

Quoted dialogue is copied from a wiki page and cited. I do not add stage directions inside the quotation marks. Official art is linked, not rehosted. Illustrations drawn for the layout are labeled as original.

Tools that draft a paragraph still have to pass the same source test. A sentence with no page behind it does not ship.
