Errors
Although it contained useful walkthroughs for some Zelda games, Zelda.com was also more widely known to be a poor resource of Zelda information, often mixing canon with fanfiction and providing statements that contradict the games. This was due to it pulling from an early interpretation of the timeline as written by former Nintendo of America translator Dan Owsen. According to Zelda.com:


 * Agahnim imprisoned sages. In reality, he actually imprisoned the maiden descendants of sages.


 * Agahnim's magic broke the Seal on the Sacred Realm when it was in fact his imprisonment of the maidens that did so.


 * The power of the seven crystals in were needed to break the barrier around Ganon's tower. The crystals held no such power, and were simply used as holding cells for the imprisoned maidens.


 * The Bombers have nothing better to do than cause trouble and goof around. In-game evidence shows that while the Bombers did lounge around, they did spend a good portion of their time helping people.


 * The Carnival of Time is celebrated to pay tribute to the importance of life. only states that the celebration is in honor of the alignment of the sun and the moon.


 * "Daria" is the correct spelling of "Daira", the axe-throwing enemy from.


 * Death Mountain Crater is in, not.


 * Ganon escapes the Sacred Realm on multiple occasions, and each time is re-sealed by Link and the Seven Sages. Evidential statements and in-game proof show that Ganon was only sealed by Seven Sages on one occasion.


 * Ganondorf was the only male ever "allowed in" to Gerudo clan, as opposed to one male being born every 100 years from within the society.


 * Gleeok is a two-headed dragon, though while this is true in some iterations, in several cases, it has three or more.


 * Gohdan is described by the Encyclopedia as "a mysterious creature", when Gohdan is actually a robot, and is described in The Wind Waker as a machine.


 * The Golden Land was forever changed into the Dark World because of Ganon. It was not forever changed, because Link turned it “Golden” again in A Link to the Past.


 * Gomess was once a powerful vampire. His origins or identity are not given in-game.


 * Link's grandma gave him his tunic to help him on his journey. It was actually given to him in tradition, and unrelated to his journey. The reasoning concerned Link’s coming of age.


 * Link is called the Hero of Time in The Legend of Zelda, The Adventure of Link, A Link to the Past,, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, , , , and . Only Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask give him this title.


 * Koholint Island is off the coast of Eastern Hyrule in the Great Sea. Japanese text refers to Koholint as a "southern" island, and there is never any canonical mention of any such connection to The Wind Waker’s Great Sea, if any.


 * Koholint Island is a real location, whereas revealed it to be a dream world in the ending.
 * The creator of the Link Doll in The Adventure of Link was friends with the Hero of Time.


 * The "magic shield" and "magic sword" from The Adventure of Link is the Mirror Shield and Master Sword. However, there is no proof in the games of this claim.


 * Medli was a Rito Princess. In reality, she was just an apprentice to Valoo. Komali is the Prince of the Rito, and the only such Rito royalty designated in The Wind Waker.


 * "Megaton" is a brand name of hammers in Hyrule. However it is the name of a legendary hammer used by a Goron hero, with no in-game evidence that the Megaton name is that of a company.


 * ‘’Majora's Mask’’ is sequentially connected to ‘’A Link to the Past’’.


 * Saria is an "elfin child of the Kokiri Forest". Kokiri are spirits, not elves.


 * The creation of Termina, which is a topic never explored in ‘’Majora’s Mask’’, is easily explained as an oversight of the Goddesses.


 * The Tingle tower in The Wind Waker was created to humor weary travelers.


 * The enemy-type Zora is the same as the "Zola", and are violent female Zora. says they are not related.


 * The Goddesses’ blessing Zora's Domain was enough to bring about the Zora race. There is no evidence to support this, series-wide.


 * Link is a singular entity. Zelda.com attributes the deeds of both the Link of Majora's Mask and to the same character. In reality, the games confirm that multiple Links exist, and that the Links of Majora's Mask and  are separate characters according to the timeline.


 * The timeline set up by the website ordered it as Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, A Link to the Past, Oracle of Seasons, Oracle of Ages, The Legend of Zelda, and The Adventure of Link, with Link's Awakening set while Link was traveling to Eastern Hyrule via Raft.


 * The Hyrule Encyclopedia states that the Hero's Clothes are "the traditional garb of boys 12 and older on Outset Island." However, Link in The Wind Waker was 9, not 12, as evidenced by new official information, and because of in-game information.
