:I'll let someone else answer that as I'm not a reference for the canon policy, but in the meantime I can tell you that, Hyrule Warriors is not a ''The Legend of Zelda'' game. That is, I think, 99% of the reason for it being non-canon on here.

Also, as a note, the inclusion of ''The Legend of Zelda'', ''Zelda'' or ''Zeruda no Densetsu'' has no real bearing on what is considered canon by the Wiki. It just happens to be that other than ''The Adventure of Link'', all games that have been placed on the Timeline or confirmed to be somewhere on the Timeline have had ''The Legend of Zelda'' in the title. {{:User:Link Lab/sig}} 17:47, 16 October 2017 (UTC) | ||
