Citations part of the article

I can't help but notice that the Citations section of this article is very long - why is so much of the text quoted in the Citations? Can it be abbreviated/hidden/truncated without affected the main article? Gaunt (talk) 08:34, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gaunt: I don't see a problem with it. Quotes are good. It helps a reader understand what part of the citation verifies a claim made in an article, and editors to check that a claim is explicitly verified in clear and non-vague language. If there are some citation quotes that you believe that can be truncated without losing the information that verifies a passage in the article, you're welcome to explicitly point them out. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 08:55, 19 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

"Remake" vs "Remaster"

@ExplorerX19: Despite absolutely zero explanation in your edit summaries, judging by your edits you seem to have the view that every other remade title was a explicitly a "remaster". Do you have reliable third-party sources that explicitly state that Ocarina of Time 3D, The Wind Waker HD, Majora's Mask 3D, and Twilight Princess HD were all remasters instead of remakes? – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 08:35, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Gaunt: Does this source suffice? --ExplorerX19 (talk) 10:54, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@ExplorerX19: It does not explicitly state anything about Zelda apart from stating that the original Zelda games could be described as "reboots" of each other: "You could say that the Zelda series gets a reboot every release. Same story, same setting, same characters, but it is a different game that is no directly based on a past game." So it is not relevant here. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 10:55, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@Gaunt: Well, on this site, the articles of the game explicated stated the Ocarina of Time 3D, The Wind Waker HD, Majora's Mask 3D, and Twilight Princess HD are remasters. But if you want sorry for the games, here they are. Sorry about that.

@ExplorerX19: I should note, since you've made the same mistake twice, that I'm not Gaunt, I'm PhilipTerryGraham. I can't say whether or not Gamnesia or GameFragger are reputable sources, and the Engadget source doesn't say which games are remasters, but the IGN and Eurogamer are reputable and their articles explicitly state that Ocarina of Time 3D and Majora's Mask 3D are remasters. Nonetheless, I think it would be better to omit "first / third / fifth remake" claims in the article for now, since it may be a controversial claim to make. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 11:35, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@PhilipTerryGraham: Okay, but why the pages of those games on this site are stated to be remasters? ExplorerX19 (talk) 14:25, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
@ExplorerX19: I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to ask? Are you asking why I think other editors labelled those games on their respective articles on Wikipedia as "remasters"? I can't speak for somebody else, so I can't answer that question, as I'm mostly focused on this particular article. – PhilipTerryGraham (talk · articles · reviews) 14:45, 21 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

After details at E3 are released this weekend, it may be more suitable to apply the information this article has to the end of the article about the Game Boy editions of The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening. NinLEGWho 01:52, 8 June 2019 (UTC)
