| - In every community for every series, there are common mistakes. Someone could use the wrong romanization of a character's name, or think that the title referred to the main character, or insist on spreading a rumor about the plot until everyone believes it. See Also: Cowboy Bebop at His Computer, Fandom Heresy, I Am Not Shazam, Internet Backdraft, and Refrain From Assuming. An in-media equivalent would be Insistent Terminology. For Cannons that are banned, see Fantasy Gun Control. If Canon is banned, it's Canon Dis Continuity.

| - In every community for every series, there are common mistakes. Someone could use the wrong romanization of a character's name, or think that the title referred to the main character, or insist on spreading a rumor about the plot until everyone believes it. To Canondorfs, this can get annoying. Enough that people that continue to perpetuate it are treated with the same respect as a Troll, although many times they merely made an honest mistake. As the following examples demonstrate, however, many other times the purists are not railing against mistakes, but against things which are not technically wrong, such as dub names, simply because they happened to dislike the alternate adaptation. The trope name comes from The Legend of Zelda forum that lays out ground rules about obvious false rumors (like that a cover song was produced by a different band than the one that actually did it, that Link's name is Zelda, etc.) and shuns people that continue to spread them. Also, as shown by the picture above, in one version of one game, the Big Bad Ganon's name was misspelled as Gannon; so referring to him as Gannon (instead of Ganon) is also something likely to get you banned. Of course, the list does have things like "Claiming Zelda II is anything other than the best Zelda game ever" and calling The Legend of Zelda CDI Games "epic", so there's a strong hint of Stealth Parody present. See Also: Cowboy Bebop at His Computer, Fandom Heresy, I Am Not Shazam, Internet Backdraft, and Refrain From Assuming. An in-media equivalent would be Insistent Terminology. For Cannons that are banned, see Fantasy Gun Control. If Canon is banned, it's Canon Dis Continuity. Not to be confused with Banning Ganon, who's a Complete Monster and clearly deserves to be Ganon Canned. Doesn't seem to be related to Gannon Car Rentals. Or Gannon University, for that matter. Or Officer Bill Gannon from Dragnet.
