'''Zeldapedia''' is an English encyclopedia dedicated to {{TLoZ|Series}}. Originally started by users of [[Community:Zelda Universe|Zelda Universe]], the wiki (then known as '''Zelda Wiki.org''' and then '''Zelda Wiki''') eventually became a collaborative project between numerous Zelda sites dedicated to create the definitive wiki-based ''Zelda'' source. In 2013, this system was dropped, and Zelda Wiki became wholly owned and operated by the community. The site endured multiple hosts throughout the years. In 2017, the wiki transferred to {{wp|Curse LLC}} and their Gamepedia network, which itself had been acquired by Twitch months ago. Years later, Gamepedia was sold to {{wp|Fandom (website)|Fandom}} by Twitch's owner {{wp|Amazon (company)|Amazon}}, leaving uncertainty in regards to Zelda Wiki's independence status. Four years later, it was announced that Zelda Wiki would be leaving Fandom, in pursue of independence. A fork was initialized, and is currently run by Prod, a longtime collaborator from {{sw|Main Page|StrategyWiki}}. | '''Zeldapedia''' is an English encyclopedia dedicated to {{TLoZ|Series}}.
