Template:Cite Manual
Purpose
This is a variant of the {{Cite}} template that is to be used when you're citing a manual for a Zelda game. This is to be used to cite sources and should be used within <ref></ref> tags.
This template can also be used in FileInfo to source an image, in which case <ref></ref> tags should not be used.
