Community rules
A place worth returning to.
Bring your questions, discoveries and theories. These rules keep the forum useful and welcoming for every traveler.
Participation is open to members with a verified email. Your public name appears beside your posts; your email does not. New discussions and replies are reviewed before publication.
Help generously. Speak respectfully.
Discuss ideas, not the worth of the person behind them. No harassment, hate, threats, doxxing or personal attacks. Give specific help when someone is stuck.
Keep discoveries discoverable.
Use a clear topic title, choose the right category and stay on topic. Search before opening a duplicate thread. Avoid spam, repeated promotions and misleading links.
Put spoilers behind the veil.
Mark story and puzzle spoilers, including those from newly released games. Keep major reveals out of topic titles and visible opening lines.
Separate evidence from expectation.
Link the original announcement when sharing news. Label leaks, rumours, theories and predictions clearly; do not present them as confirmed Nintendo information.
Respect creators and games.
Do not post someone else's work without permission, counterfeit goods, pirated copies, ROM downloads or instructions to bypass protections. Link to a legitimate source when quoting a guide.
Let moderation do its work.
The team reviews new text posts and can refuse, hide or remove material that breaks these rules. Report a concern privately; do not turn a report into a public argument.
Sharing your own art
The gallery accepts work submitted by its creator only, after review. No screenshots, official illustrations, traced images or another artist's work. Artists choose a public credit and grant a free, non-exclusive, revocable display permission for this site; a separate choice is required for newsletter features. Withdrawal is available from the artist's account.
Artist permission covers only the artist's original contribution. It does not grant rights Nintendo may hold in characters or settings. Hyrule Atlas is independent and may decline or remove an image for rights concerns.
Need help or a removal?
Use the private request form in the privacy notice for a rights claim, removal or personal-data request. Do not put private documents in a public thread.
