'''Zelda Wiki.org''', also known simply as '''Zelda Wiki''' and '''ZW''' among Zelda gamers, is a collaborative project between numerous Zelda sites with the mission to become the definitive wiki-based Zelda source, by bringing together an abundance of Zelda websites together, instead of having many smaller wikis scattered across the internet. | '''Zelda Wiki.org''', also known simply as '''Zelda Wiki''' and '''ZW''' among {{tag|Zelda}} gamers, is a collaborative project between numerous Zelda sites with the mission to become the definitive [[wiki]]-based Zelda source, by bringing together an abundance of Zelda websites together, instead of having many smaller wikis scattered across the internet. | ||
Originally started by users of Zelda Universe, Zelda Wiki aims to act as a hub for information on The Legend of Zelda series — created by users for users, using the anyone-can-edit wiki software. Eventually, it grew out of its Zelda Universe roots and attracted the attention and collaboration of many websites throughout the internet, all with the same goal: To provide free, open, in-depth information about The Legend of Zelda series. | Originally started by users of Zelda Universe, Zelda Wiki aims to act as a hub for information on ''The Legend of Zelda'' series — created by users for users, using the anyone-can-edit wiki software.
