Welcome to the forums, friend.
As per the tradition of Zelda Universe greetings, let me be the first to offer you the generic reply with helpful links!™ (No pun intended).
1.
The Newbies Guide to the Universe. A nice thread compiled with all useful forum information, outlining all the various functions and uses of the boards.
2.
The Rules. Everyone stresses the importance of the rules, so take a few minutes to peruse those for hassle free posting time in the future.
And I'm spent.
