| == RE: Origins of this wiki ==
| |
|

| :The whole reason I started this wiki is due to all the massive problems with the Gamepedia one. For example, its lack of user friendly experience, the fact it uses a Dark Horse publication (Zelda Encyclopedia) as its main resource of citing names, and how they refuse to move off Gamepedia even 8-9 months after the FANDOM acquisition, and overstaying their welcome in NIWA. The wiki also is dark blue, which isn't a color that defines the Zelda series, and they insist everything to be a certain way (even image descriptions and file names all have to match & uppercase section titles). Those are among the big reasons I have founded this wiki -- and also, the style is deliberately meant to compliment that of Super Mario Wiki's, especially since Super Mario and Zelda consist of similar developers.

| :::No problem, enjoy! Also, with Zeldapedia closed, there's more room for distinction with Triforce Wiki as well, as Zeldapedia had a style closer to Mario Wiki's than Zelda Wiki did. There's Zelda Dungeon Wiki (who i get along with & even have their website in the sidebar to show my support) but their wiki feels more like an add-on to their walkthroughs and feels more casual. I also did not really like how the wiki is named after the fansite, which further proves my thoughts on it being casual & being sort of like a glossary to their walkthroughs. It is a respectable and unique approach though, i'll admit that at least. [[User:Results May Vary|Results May Vary]] ([[User talk:Results May Vary|talk]]) 20:16, 21 August 2019 (UTC)

| There was also a ''lot'' of prodding from me, after I saw the ridiculousness of the Dark Horse reliance. Note the ''three'' pages for the hand in the toilet from Majora's Mask. That's when I decided that a new wiki needed to be made, so I bugged some people about it and here we are.
