Two sections of this article (Story and Characters) have been copied directly from the user manual, and prefaced with a note declaring as much. As such, it is also possible to reference these quotes with citations (pages 1 and 5 respectively of said manual). Would citing these in the reference list be preferable to, or used in conjunction with, this notice or should it be left as is?

:Looking at other pages on the wiki, [[The Legend of Zelda (Game)]] cites the manual in the reference list.

::G&W is not plot-heavy in the least. I suppose I could paraphrase it (after all, it's hardly prize-winning literature anyway) and reference where necessary. [[User:Agahnim's Shadow|Agahnim's Shadow]] 15:09, 27 September 2012 (EDT)
