Line 8:
In every community for every series, there are common mistakes. Someone could [[Spell My Name with an "S"|use the wrong romanization]] of a character's name, or think that [[I Am Not Shazam|the title referred to the main character]], or insist on [[Urban Legend of Zelda|spreading a rumor about the plot until everyone believes it]].
 
To [[Canon]][[A Worldwide Punomenon|dorfs]], this can get annoying. EnoughIt pushes fans' [[Berserk Button]] enough that people that continue to perpetuate it are treated with the same respect as a [[Troll]], although [[Hanlon's Razor|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 (video game)|The Legend of Zelda]]'' [http://www.gannon-banned.com/ forum] that lays out ground rules about obvious false rumors (like that a [http://www.ocremix.org/remix/OCR00022/ cover song] [[Misattributed 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.
