To Do's

 * Quite a few articles, i.e. most articles, do not have enough or any sources. This is quickly becoming unacceptable. We encourage members to locate and add sources to these articles. A list of articles in need of sources can be found at: Articles lacking sources. That list is by no means complete. There are countless other articles that need sources. For more information, see Help:References.
 * Any articles that use second-person narrative or "the player" (such as, "You fight Ganon," "The player must use the Hookshot") should be changed so that it refers to the specific characters ("Link fights Ganon," "Link must use the Hookshot"). Any articles that are not immediately fixed should be tagged with the "YouLink" template.
 * All instances of Japanese names (or other foreign names) that are found in the main part of an article should be instead placed at the bottom of the article using the Names template.

Areas Requiring Attention
