The following articles (or sections within articles) are in general need of improvement. They may be poorly written, disorganized, unprofessional, or otherwise not up to Zelda Wiki's quality standards. These articles require general clean up and fixes throughout a large area of the article, and in some cases complete rewrites may be required. This category also contains subcategories that separate this large list by piece of media, and all of these categories are hidden from view in the mainspace.

More articles can be added to this list by tagging them with the {{Improve}} template. If the article (or section of the article) that needs clean-up pertains to a specific piece of media, you may add the abbreviation of the media into the template to sort the article into a specific subcategory. The template should be formatted as "{{Improve|<date>|<gameCode>}}." For example, if the area of the article that needs fixing relates to Phantom Hourglass, you may tag the section with {{Improve|<date>|PH}}. When a article on this list is fixed, be sure to remove the template from the article to remove it from this category.

Alongside the main subcategories that separate by piece of media, there are three other subcategories that group articles by problem type:

• Articles with Improper Style or Tone category contains pages that do are written less like an encyclopedia and more like a forum or strategy guide. These articles need to be rewritten to better fit the article style guidelines.
• Category:Statements Needing Clarification contains articles with unclear and vague information that needs adjustment.
• Category:Statements Needing Verification contains articles with skeptical information that needs verification to be kept on the page.
