Guidelines

This template should be placed just underneath the heading for the respective game, or the first heading if the article concerns one game in particular. There should be one line of empty space between the comment and the article content. If there are multiple manual comments to a section (see Bomb#A Link to the Past for example), place them on subsequent lines like this:

==={{ALttP|-}}===
{{Manual|ALttP|Bomb|A bomb blast will damage enemies and knock holes in some walls, but it will also damage your character if he is too close to the blast. The bomb's fuse will burn for about two seconds, and up to two bombs can be set at a time.}}
{{Manual|ALttP&FS|Bombs|You can set up to two bombs at a time. You can also pick them up and throw them.}}

In {{ALttP}}, {{Plural|ALttP|Bomb}} can be obtained either by finding [...]
