Quote:I always make sure Nintendo is given credit

That's not one of the things to watch out for. On the contrary, you should make sure it is absolutely clear that Nintendo has no involvement in the game. If you show Nintendo's trademarks in a way that could confuse people into thinking that it's an official Nintendo thing, and don't include a prominent disclaimer that this isn't the case, that's trademark infringement.

How is a disclaimer a trademark infringement?! Tell me! How? And Nintendo has no involvement in my fan games. But they do own the rights to the franchise! Which is why I have to make sure that people know that the franchise itself isn't mine, it's Nintendo's. But the fan concepts of my fan games are mine. So Nintendo needs to be to be credited for their hard work of creating such an awesome franchise as The Legend of Zelda.

So you're basically saying that I should just do the exact thing that will set Nintendo off and DMCA my fan games, by claiming copyright? Yeah, I don't think so! If I did things by your way, I'd get in trouble. Big time! Heck, like I said, I've been following by my methods for awhile now, and I have not into any trouble. Why?

1) I don't claim anything that isn't mine, like the franchise itself, the official Zelda characters, like Link, Zelda, or Ganon. I always disclaim all of that by giving credit to Nintendo.

2) I don't involve money in any kind of way!

3) My fan concepts are always original! I don't make copies of games like say Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, or Skyward Sword, games that already exist!

Watch my videos on youtube. Not the old ones! The more recent ones! And read the video descriptions of all three videos! Here's a link to one of my playlists of my videos:

Please tell me how what I put in the video descriptions of my three Zelda fan videos is infringing the trademark! Seriously, what you said makes no sense!

Edit: Come to think of it. I think you may have just misunderstood what I was talking about when mentioned giving Nintendo credit and took it the wrong way. Yeah, never jump to conclusions like that! Doing so can cause problems! I learned that the hard way!
