Guidelines:Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

Overview
was debated over how it should be handled as the game was majorly unclear as to if it was Canon or not, and we have come to a conclusion. These guidelines will highlight how should be added to articles and how each article should be structured in an organized fashion. If you are interested in helping with covering content, we would love for you to join the Zelda Wiki Discord to collaborate with other editors to update the wiki. Thank you!

First, when linking to, the  template should be used. This is NOT the  template. Because these are two separate games, gets its own template.

Canonicity
is considered Non-Canon. We denote this game as non-canon because many parts of the game contradict events that were specified in, even without time travel. For example, in, BotW: states that BotW: retrieved the BotW: before she was asked to pilot the BotW:, however, in , HWAoC: has not yet obtained the HWAoC: at that time. also specifies that BotW: was 12 or 13 when he pulled the BotW: which similarly contradicts the events in, as HWAoC: is past that age. Even without time travel, this shouldn't be this way because HWAoC: traveled to the time after these events and didn't effect anything before that. If Nintendo ever releases any media that states that is canon (even with contradictions), we will update the wiki to format it this way.

For instructions on how to format in articles, please read over the Canon Guidelines. If Nintendo ever releases new information regarding the canonicity of, we will update these guidelines accordingly. For now, this is the conclusion we have come to based on the information we currently have.

Citing Colored Text
When the text in-game is colored, your citation should also include the colored words. This can be done by using the  template. In the citation, the colored words should be surrounded by. The names of the colors are as follows:

Images
As stated earlier, images from should be included in the   section. Basic guidelines for all of can be found in the File Guidelines. Standards for taking images from specifically are shown below:

Screenshot Standards
When taking a screenshot in, you should try to capture the entirety of the subject in the most amount of space as possible. The closer to the subject you are, the better the image will turn out. This is because when the image is enlarged on the wiki, it won't become as grainy as it would be if it was a smaller image. The HUD should be removed as much as possible, as to not obscure the image. When taking a screenshot of something, pressing your character against the wall and turning around the camera will give you a good shot for the image. This is because the camera will become too close to the character and the character will become invisible, allowing for greater space to take images. When taking pictures with enemies in the shot, the Health gauges setting should be turned off in options.

Taking and Uploading Screenshots
For instructions on how to take screenshots, see the File Guidelines. Instructions on how to upload your image can also be found on that page.

After you've uploaded your image to your computer, you should crop the image to show just the subject. A good, free program for image editing you can use is GIMP. If you don't feel comfortable with editing the image yourself, feel free to ask a staff member on the Discord and we will gladly help you.

Scenario Articles

 * This article type is supported by the Scenario boilerplate.

Overview The  section includes both the   and the   sections. The first paragraph of the Overview section should consist of when the Scenario takes place in the events of, and where the Scenario takes place in location. Any other details regarding the scenario that don't relate to the story should also be placed here.

The next paragraphs should consist of the entire storyline of the Scenario. The paragraph should start with what took place before the Scenario, and then the events of the Scenario, and finally the events leading to the next Scenario. This will consist of multiple paragraphs, all split at different major points in the storyline.

The final paragraph should explain the Scenarios, NaN Warriors, NaN Items, etc. that unlock after completing this Scenario.

Combatants The Combatants section is a of the Overview section. It consists of a table listing the forces that fight during the Scenario, with one side for the Allied Forces and the other for the Dark Forces.

Collectibles The Collectibles section is another of the Overview section. It consists of another table that lists all of the collectibles, like NaN Korok Seeds, that can be found in the Scenario.
