Re: Basic Terminology & Abbreviations

You might also want to put in the console abbreviations, like NES, SNES, GCN, GBA, etc. They aren't exactly Zelda related, but I imagine you will see them more than a few times in Zelda discussions.

Re: Basic Terminology & Abbreviations

I feel the need to be the one to mention the 3 Zelda games that are considered 3 of the worst games ever:

WoG: Wand of Gamelon

ZA: Zelda's Adventure

FoE: Face of Evil

And one that I've not heard but am making up for those lazy people:

ZC: Zelda Cartoon

Do they have to be included?
I don't know if it's worth putting up or not, but mainly just for newbies, ZU?

Well, people are going to mention the existence of the games, so why not? Sure, they were crap, but they were still Zelda games, so they should be included.

Re: Basic Terminology & Abbreviations

How about we just abbreviate every single place, object, or character in the Zelda series?

Well when you take part in long discussions, it's annoying to have to re-explain what you're talking about so it's easier to come up with abbreviations. So deal with it E.

Re: Basic Terminology & Abbreviations

Good idea for TH, because if you did HoT it would be read as Hero of Time instead of Hero of Twilight. Perhaps an abbreviation for the Fourth Triforce Piece in theories could be FT?
