I discussed this with some others yesterday -- summing up the zeldapedia incident -- but I figured you'd also like some context on this. The events in November tied in with how because I didnt feel confident in my ability to run a wiki on Zelda games, especially having been raised with the ''Mario'' franchise nearly all my life. I'm also a 22 year old who isn't an expert in translations, and I generally specialize in western platforming wikis (Donkey Kong is pseudo-western, at least because Rare had a large involvement with it, and then there's Retro Studios). | I discussed this with some others yesterday -- summing up the zeldapedia incident -- but I figured you'd also like some context on this.

I played ''Star Fox Adventures'', which borrowed heavily from ''Zelda: Ocarina of Time'', and I really liked ''Star Fox Adventures'' (more love-hate relationship with it). It was one of the major reasons I thought it would be good to start a new Zelda wiki, as I'm a big fan of a lot of Rare's games, and I wanted it to have a proper wiki to trace back to. I also had a childhood friend who had both [[Nintendo 64]] games and another with the OoT compilation for GameCube, so I had some Zelda experience growing up.

I also played Ocarina of Time 3D, and I really like that game. I actually linked to ''Star Fox Adventures''{{'}} Lylat Wiki page on the opening section of the OoT article here too.... And then I saw discussions on Super Mario Wiki, realizing the circumstance was worse on Zelda Wiki than i had thought (I didnt notice them adding Dark Horse references everywhere). | ||
The Zelda Archive thing didnt work out, so I asked hylian pi (the site's webmaster) for all the content that he didn't write and i moved it to zelda.shoutwiki.com briefly for safekeeping. I still wanted something larger, and nobody in NIWA wanted to host a Zelda wiki to prevent drama. However, I had a bit of an outsider's perspective and was really annoyed about the situation, so I thought "this is total nonsense. i'm making a wiki with others whether or not they like it". I'm still with my parents, and I don't make much money (Seattle minimum wage & i work part-time), so I almost got broke when paying for a 3-year hosting plan on BlueHost, but I was that determined to try and make this work. I also wanted to learn how to configure MediaWiki & follow in porplemontage's footsteps (he's like a dad to me). | The Zelda Archive thing didnt work out, so I asked hylian pi (the site's webmaster) for all the content that he didn't write and i moved it to zelda.shoutwiki.com briefly for safekeeping.
