I'm Docky, I'm the one who pushed for creating a new indy Zelda wiki. | I'm Docky, I'm the one who pushed for creating a new indy Zelda wiki, and have been creating new pages. Note that some keys on my keyboard are currently unreliable, so if you see any missing characters, that'll be why. I try to proofread as much as possible to avoid that, but sometimes they slip through. | ||
I have played through all the main ''Zelda'' games except for ''Four Swords Adventures''. I have not beaten ''The Adventure of Link'' or ''Skyward Sword'', but have gotten to pretty much the ends. I have also watched full playthroughs of the three CD-i games. | I have played through all the main ''Zelda'' games except for ''Four Swords Adventures''.

The "Hand" thing was my breaking point. How ''blatant'' and ''half-baked'' it all was. I decided ''something'' needed to be done, so I basically pestered the issue for a little while and bip-bop-boop, this wiki was born. This wiki was made to look at things from an objective standpoint, not mix in theories, and not mix in self-citation. Despite what some have said, Nintendo's "involvement" with Zelda Encyclopedia was minimal at most, and the fact that both Cadence and Link's Awakening Switch have since contradicted it on multiple levels proves that Nintendo doesn't give a crap about it or what it says. There is no "canon." There is continuity, yes, but the Zelda games are oft so self-contained and far apart from each other time-wise that attempting to apply a full consistent "canon" to its in-universe history without leaving major holes cannot be done, and claiming that something is "less canon" than something else is similarly stupid. "Metroid" has a canon. It stars one singular character over a relatively short timespan. "Zelda" does not have this. It is multiple iterations of a character across millennia. Basically, continuity exists, but not everything connects to every other thing. | The "Hand" thing was my breaking point. How ''blatant'' and ''half-baked'' it all was.

Anyways, as seen by the quote above, some people maintain an entitled elitist attitude over the whole ordeal, turning this all into a major refuge in audacity. | |||
