Research and corrections
Editorial Policy and Corrections
Every remake-specific claim should be traceable to a listed source and labeled according to the strength of the available evidence. The site does not turn an unsupported guess into a route step merely to make a page look complete.
Source priority
- Official Nintendo pages, announcements, videos and material visible in the released game.
- Detailed post-release walkthroughs that identify the remake route, item or room being described.
- Independent reporting or guide sources that can be compared against another source.
- Community posts and unverified reports, which may provide leads but do not establish a confirmed fact by themselves.
Confidence labels
Confirmed means at least two independent sources agree on the remake-specific fact. Single source means one current source reports it and the page should say so. Rumor means the claim remains unconfirmed. Legacy N64 knowledge can explain unchanged mechanics, but it cannot by itself prove that a room or collectible is unchanged in the remake.
Route-writing standard
A chapter page should state its entry requirements, critical route, progression item, boss or endpoint and completion reward. Exact Small Key counts, room identifiers and no-backtracking collection routes are published only when the evidence supports that level of precision. Otherwise the field remains reserved or explicitly unverified.
Collectible standard
Heart Piece and Gold Skulltula entries retain their individual source and verification status. Disagreement between guides is recorded instead of silently choosing one route. A location is not described as moved or new unless the source specifically supports that remake status.
Use of automated tools
Automated and AI-assisted tools may help structure drafts, normalize data, detect missing metadata or compare repeated fields. They are not primary sources and do not increase a claim's confidence. Published factual statements must still be supported by the cited evidence and reviewed for consistency with the site's structured data.
Corrections process
When reliable new evidence conflicts with a page, the route text, structured data, confidence label and visible review date should be updated together. Material changes should not be disguised as routine freshness updates. Until the public contact mailbox is active, correction leads are handled during scheduled source rechecks; the contact method will be added here once available.
Independence, screenshots and links
The project is independent from Nintendo and the third-party guides it cites. Source links document evidence and do not represent sponsorship. Screenshots are used only where they clarify a route, puzzle or boss, with ownership attributed to Nintendo.
