Forum:Past Tense

I'm sure the question is asked by every (serious) new user to this wiki, but it's never really addressed anywhere: What's the deal with past-tense? Ok, let me back up... I guess the real question is:  Are we presenting the Zelda world from a lore perspective, like this is Lord of the Rings and everything "happened" in a fictional world, or are we working from the perspective that these are video games and, while they have a lore to them, they are merely that, a piece of the present that should be discussed and written about as such? I think it would be great to have a standard as some articles read like a history book (and tend to be more encyclopedic) while other read like a player's guide. For the record, I personally like the "player's guide for a contemporary video game" approach, but that's just me.
