Spoiler Policy
Zelda Universe is committed to allowing allZelda fans to continue being a part of our community while also allowing them to experience newZelda game releases at their own pace. We aim to do as much as we can to prevent you from being inadvertently spoiled about the content of new games while casually browsing our platform. As such, we promise to adhere to the following:
Every newZeldatitle will fall under a Spoiler-Free Period, which will begin on the day of release and last for at least six months. If the new game is a remake of an existing game, the existing game(s) will enter into the Spoiler-Free Period alongside the new game. Any extensions to a game’s Spoiler-Free Period will be communicated across our website and socials. We will also communicate when a Spoiler-Free Period is going to end.
During a Spoiler-Free Period:
- All articles, columns, and features that discuss the content of the relevant game will be tagged as containing potential spoilers. Titles and header images for all such content will be free of spoiler content.
- All images, GIFs, and videos (including fanart) shared to our social media platforms will not contain spoilers.
- Pre-recorded media content (e.g., YouTube videos, podcasts, and social media videos) will have spoiler warnings in them and in the captions.
However, the following exceptions apply:
- Anything related to guides and walkthroughs (whether text or video) is exempt from this policy.
- Game reviews and game previews that do not contain story details are exempt from this policy but will be explicitly labelled as spoiler-free.
- Live media content (e.g., Twitch streams, YouTube streams, and TikTok Lives) is exempt from this policy.
- Any content officially published by Nintendo will be considered public knowledge (i.e., not a spoiler) and therefore exempt from this policy.
These points apply only to content posted on our official Zelda Universe channels. Zelda Universe does not control what is posted in replies, quote tweets, shares, or comments, but we will do our best to moderate. We also do not control what content our staff may share on their personal social media accounts.
