Zelda Wiki:Canon Policy

On Zelda Wiki.org, there exists certain expectations of what is or isn't considered canon. Canon is a term that refers to a material being an official or genuine part of a fictional universe.

Zelda Wiki.org's canon policy is as follows.

Three terms are going to be used:
 * canon — This material is fully part of of the fictional universe set up by the games.
 * ambiguously canon — This material has no clear definition of being purely canon or not but can be assumed to be canon so long as it doesn't contridict a higher source of canon.
 * non-canon — This material is not part of the fictional universe no matter if it doesn't contradict any higher canon.

To make things abundantly clear, here is a list of materials and their level of canon:

Languages
In addition, because we are an English wiki based in America, the American versions of all the above are the highest canon. Next if there is no information or the material is not available in America, the English European versions are the next highest canon. And if the material is not available in America or in Europe or the information doesn't exist in those places, the original Japanese versions are canon, so long as it doesn't contradict a higher canon. This is for language purposes and the practical purposes of naming articles. If the Japanese versions were the highest canon then we'd have to give all the articles the Japanese names. This would horribly confuse the average player and ultimately hurt our viewership very badly.

What is or isn't considered canon by Zelda Wiki.org is subject to change depending on developments with Nintendo.
