Welcome, thank you for joining! I do apologize for mistaking you for being uninterested--like i said, I feel it can easily be misunderstood why another zelda wiki & have to explain to others what makes this one different. Thanks for sticking around. Whenever there's Zelda-type discussions to be done, you can come on Triforce Wiki. I'm considering on starting up a new logo for the wiki, since the generic triforce is just a placeholder for now. Otherwise, the style here is very similar to Super Mario Wiki, which is intentional.Results May Vary (talk) 00:13, 13 May 2019 (UTC)

I can sometimes be somewhat socially awkward (and use lots of words), since i tend to go in-depth with my speech. You & Doc have been inspirations to me in that I try and adapt your naming hierarchy across wikis, and being careful not to use fan terms. Just wanted to let you know :) Results May Vary (talk) 00:16, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
Gotcha. Thanks for the kind words! LTL (talk) 14:13, 13 May 2019 (UTC)
