Editorial Policy

Every factual claim on Malon OOT is tied to a public page. Disagreements are shown in the table. Each page shows the date it was last updated, and that date is the same value used in the page’s structured data.

Which sources win

• Nintendo’s own store and news posts, for platform, date, and what the company itself says.
• Zelda Wiki and similar reference pages, for character facts that several editors have kept stable.
• IGN, Game8, and OoT Guide, for 2026 quest steps and button names.
• Forums and essays, only when the sentence is labeled as a community estimate or a theory.

A claim needs two independent sources before the status column says two or more. “Independent” here means different sites, not two pages on the same wiki. If only one site says it, the cell says “1 source” and the prose names that site. If they conflict, both numbers stay. The obstacle-course target is the example: 50 seconds from Malon’s dialogue on older pages, under 40 seconds from IGN’s remake page. This policy forbids averaging those into 45.

Updates and corrections

After a remake patch that changes a button, a price, or a ranch exit, the quest page and the remake page should be edited within a day and the visible date moved. Readers send corrections to the contact page. A correction that checks out replaces the cell and names the new source. The site does not publish a fake editorial board. One editor is responsible, reachable at the address in the footer.

Drafting help can come from software. Numbers do not. If a field has no source, it stays empty, which is why the 2026 English voice credit is blank. The privacy policy lists what the browser actually loads.
