Guidelines:Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity

Overview
was debated over how it should be handled as the game was majorly unclear as to if it was Canon or not, and we have come to a conclusion. These guidelines will highlight how should be added to articles and how each article should be structured in an organized fashion. If you are interested in helping with covering content, we would love for you to join the Zelda Wiki Discord to collaborate with other editors to update the wiki. Thank you!

First, when linking to, the  template should be used. This is NOT the  template. Because these are two separate games, gets its own template.

Canonicity
is considered Non-Canon per the Canon guidelines because the order of events irreconcilably occur in a different order from what Nintendo has previously established as canon. Though many of 's discrepancies take place after a point in which the HWAoC: travels through time and could ostensibly represent a new branch in the timeline, the official and canonical order of events shown jointly through in-game text in and the supplementary book  indicates that the order of events before the HWAoC:'s involvement in  are incompatible.

In, the HWAoC: travels to a point in time around when HWAoC: is preparing to approach the prospective NaN Champions to ask them to pilot the NaN Divine Beasts. From that point onward, HWAoC: is appointed as HWAoC:'s knight, the NaN Champions are recruited, and the group led by HWAoC: searches for the HWAoC: which is resting in the HWAoC:. In contrast, the canon order of events dictates that BotW: was already in the possession of the BotW: for an unspecified number of years prior to the point when BotW: was preparing to speak to the NaN Champions. This is further specified to take place before BotW: and BotW: ever excavated the BotW:. As research into the HWAoC:'s properties was well underway by the beginning of and the point in time which the HWAoC: is known to have traveled to, it is not possible for the timeline to have already branched away from the canonical events of.

The discrepancies within 's story remain at conflict with the official order of events in the larger narrative of the timeline and it cannot potentially be considered to be compatible—and therefore reasonably canon or even ambiguously canon—unless Nintendo amends the timeline to specifically include or explain these discrepancies. In the event that Nintendo canonize in a future timeline update, its canonicity status on this Wiki will be changed accordingly.

For instructions on how to format in articles, please read over the Canon Guidelines.

Citing Colored Text
When the text in-game is colored, your citation should also include the colored words. This can be done by using the  template. In the citation, the colored words should be surrounded by. The names of the colors are as follows:

Images
As stated earlier, images from should be included in the   section. Basic guidelines for all of can be found in the File Guidelines. Standards for taking images from specifically are shown below:

Screenshot Standards
When taking a screenshot in, you should try to capture the entirety of the subject in the most amount of space possible. The closer to the subject you are, the better the image will turn out. This is because when the image is enlarged on the wiki, it won't become as grainy as it would be if it was a smaller image. The HUD should be removed as much as possible, as to not obscure the image. When taking a screenshot of something, pressing your character against the wall and turning around the camera will give you a good shot for the image. This is because the camera will become too close to the character and the character will become invisible, allowing for greater space to take images. When taking pictures with enemies in the shot, the Health gauges setting should be turned off in options.

Taking and Uploading Screenshots
For instructions on how to take screenshots, see the File Guidelines. Instructions on how to upload your image can also be found on that page.

After you've uploaded your image to your computer, you should crop the image to show just the subject. A good, free program for image editing you can use is GIMP. If you don't feel comfortable with editing the image yourself, feel free to ask a staff member on the Discord server and we will gladly help you.

Scenario Articles

 * This article type is supported by the Scenario boilerplate.

Overview The  section includes both the   and the   sections. The first paragraph of the Overview section should consist of when the Series: takes place in the events of, and where the HWAoC: takes place in location. Any other details regarding the HWAoC: that don't relate to the story should also be placed here.

The next paragraphs should consist of the entire storyline of the HWAoC:. The paragraph should start with what took place shortly before the HWAoC: and what events led to the battle, and then the events of the HWAoC:, and finally the events leading to the next HWAoC:. This will consist of multiple paragraphs, all split at different major points in the storyline.

The final paragraph should explain the NaN Scenarios, NaN Warriors, NaN Items, etc. that unlock after completing this HWAoC:.

Combatants The Combatants section is a of the Overview section. It consists of a table listing the forces that fight during the Scenario, with one column for the Allied Forces and the other for the Dark Forces.

Collectibles The Collectibles section is another of the Overview section. It consists of another table that lists all of the collectibles, like NaN Korok Seeds, that can be found in the Scenario.
