This Wiki attempts to stick only with the most reliable sources. Thus, all information should come from the Zelda canon: the official Nintendo Zelda games and their manuals. The maps included with LoZ and ALttP are considered part of the games, and are thus also included in the canon. Guides and boxes, however, are, for the most part, not created by the original game designers, and are therefore not considered canon. Cartoons, comics, the CD-i games, and manga were not created by NCL under Miyamoto's direction, and are thus also not part of the canon. If one wishes to reference non-canon information, make sure to clearly mark it as such. | This Wiki attempts to stick only with the most reliable sources.

A note on sources
This Wiki attempts to stick only with the most reliable sources. Thus, all information should come from the Zelda canon: the official Nintendo Zelda games and their manuals. The maps included with LoZ and ALttP are considered part of the games, and are thus also included in the canon. Guides and boxes, however, are, for the most part, not created by the original game designers, and are therefore not considered canon. Cartoons, comics, the CD-i games, and manga were not created by NCL under Miyamoto's direction, and are thus also not part of the canon. If one wishes to reference non-canon information, make sure to clearly mark it as such.
Note that sometimes guides contain official art and official enemy names that did not appear in the canon material. These are believed to have been created by the original game designers (since some official art and official enemy names appear in the manuals), so, for the most part, official art and enemy names are utilized.
