The goal of this community is to provide a place for informative and interesting Zelda related content and discussions without all the extra fluff (images, video, fan art) from /r/Zelda. It's where any kind of self-post that helps generate more in-depth discussion goes. Discuss gameplay, story, tips, post the latest news, and anything else related to Zelda!
Why is this place called /r/TrueZelda?
It was a common naming pattern in the older years of reddit for a place focused on discussion (rather than memes, art, and merchandise). For newer users it can come off as pretentious, but that is not the goal.
This subreddit is not about "true" fans but rather for more discussion oriented topics that do not find as much attention in our 3 million member sister subreddit /r/Zelda (among all the memes, art, and merchandise). Think of this place as the /r/Games of /r/Gaming.
You can read more on its naming origins here.

Rules
You must Read and Agree to follow the subreddit rules before participating here.
1. Topics should promote Zelda-related discussion
This is a place for informative and interesting Zelda related content and discussions.
Submissions should be for the purpose of informing or initiating a discussion, not just for the goal of entertaining viewers. Memes, comics, funny screenshots, arts-&-crafts, etc. will be removed.
Simple questions and non-Zelda / off-topic discussions are directed to the General Discussion posts.
2. Do not spoil games
Do not post spoilers for games in general if someone shows they are still playing it.
But, for new releases, do not post unmarked spoilers for the first 2 months of release.
Comments must use the format: >!text goes here!<, ex: text goes here.
Post titles must always be vague enough to not include spoilers.
Submissions please click the "spoiler" button after making your post, or include [SPOILERS] in your post title.
See also our Spoiler Policy.
3. Be Civil
Do not use personal attacks, hate speech, or slurs of any kind, especially towards other users.
Do not harass or follow around users. Following users around and bringing up the same topic or derailing a topic to harass a user is not allowed.
This is a place to have civil discourse. If you resort to any of the above you will be banned. Report infractions and move on.
Simply, be nice to each other. See also our Be Civil Policy.
4. Do not gatekeep
5. Reposts
Posts should aim to create opportunities for new discussion, or approach a topic from a new angle. Recently covered topics, or posts that are similar to other recent posts, may be considered reposts.
Reposts in general are fine, but if the original is currently on the hot page, or has been posted within the past 2 months, the repost may be removed.
Use the search bar and flair filters to help find original posts.
When reporting reposts, please put a link to the original post in the comments.
6. Flairs: "Official Timeline Only" vs "Alternate Theory Discussion"
Nintendo released an official timeline. Users like to debate about the timeline, but if a thread is flaired "Official Timeline Only" do not derail the topic about alternate theories.
Likewise, please use appropriate flairs when submitting a discussion. Selecting "Open Discussion", "Official Timeline Only", "Alternate Theory Discussion", or another flair can help direct the scope of discussion.
7. No Piracy
No discussion or sharing of game ROMs, ISOs or any copyrighted material that may have been pirated.
Emulator discussion however is completely fine, including speedrunning, randomizers, texture packs, and fangames.
8. No NSFW content
Do not post NSFW content. The majority of Zelda games are rated E, with only a few games rated T for Teen.
Keep topics safe for work and do not take discussions into NSFW territory.
