Administrators at Zelda Dungeon work with the various pieces of software that help make up the site, such as our news management system, the wiki, the gallery, and the forums. They generally install plugins, put together layouts, update software, adjust settings to optimize the software, manage the software to ensure it is working, make sure the software is being used correctly, and even installing new pieces of software. These are the staff members that make sure that the site is working and working properly.

Matt joined Zelda Dungeon way back in 2008, but didn't get really active there until 2010. He mostly hangs out in the general chitchat section, particularly in mature discussion. He eventually became a Hylian Knight and Site staff in early 2011. His first job was working on Zelda Dungeon's Facebook page. Eventually when Zelda Dungeon decided to start its own wiki, Matt moved on to be a leading staff member of the wiki. He brought with him experience and expertise of building and editing wikis which he gained in his previous work at Zelda Wiki, which he reluctantly left due to disagreements on policy.<br>

Matt was instrumental in setting up the Zelda Dungeon Wiki, helping to select extensions and building a framework of templates and scripts. As well as with training others how to edit wikis and perform various tasks. Today he continues with his usual routine of working on various coding projects for the wiki.

==News Team==

The News Team is responsible for all news articles and editorials that get published on the main site. The news staff is managed by Bastian who edits and then schedules the posts for publishing. News staff also help with showcasing the Zelda community, as evident by many pieces of art and music that we feature.

===Bastian===

Bastian was recruited by Mases to head up the news team in April of 2012. He's since loved every minute of it. He's been playing Zelda games probably longer than you've been alive. When not hiring/training/editing/coaching the news staff, he can be found recording Zelda-related videos on his own YouTube channel, creating SNES-era style RPGs, recording original compositions in his home studio, or at the gym working out. But probably just procrastinating all of that and geeking out to a video game.

===Hachi===

===Jordan===

Outside of the internet, Jordan attends classes at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia and spends much of his free time playing video games and spending time with his girlfriend of four years. He is a Christian whose main passions are in video gaming, writing, and music. As a young adult male, he also loves food; in his opinion cheesecake, peanut butter, and root beer are among the greatest creations to grace this earth.

===Knowlee===

{| class="infotable" cellpadding="4"

! colspan="3" style="text-align: center; font-size:110%;"|knowlee

|-

|}

Knowlee (aka "knowlee") joined the Zelda Dungeon staff in September 2010 to help with the then-going Majora's Mask Month by helping out with the Characters Page. Later on she moved on to becoming a part-time Article Staff member as well as becoming a news correspondent. She used to help run the Zelda Fanart Spotlight along with Hachi on the main site. Now she showcases fanart on ZD's Facebook. On the forums, she is a Hylian Noble.

As far as non-related Zelda stuff goes, she is a Christian and loves to play video games, write, read, and draw in her spare time. She is also probably one of the biggest Mickey Mouse fans you'll ever meet and she absolutely loves Starburst (except for the Pink ones) and Mountain Dew.

===Majora's Cat===

He likes K-Pop and everybody makes fun of him for it. He really really wishes people would stop making fun of him for it, but he still loves K-Pop with all his little heart and listens to it frequently. Majora's Cat enjoys posting on the DGN forums, although his overall laziness prevents him from actually doing diddly-squat and he just watches YouTube videos, going on tumblr and linking friends funny pictures. He reeeeeaaally likes those funny pictures.

===Davey===

Outside of Zelda Dungeon, Davey is currently a high school junior, and hopes to attend college after graduating. His interests in the scholarly fields are wide, though his focus will most likely be in medicine, with some sort of journalism and music thrown in. In not Zelda Dungeon life, he goes by David, but for a multitude of reasons, he is known by Davey. Also, because he cannot put all of his Zelda Dungeon related thoughts in one section, he would like to say here that the other staff members here are incredibly awesome, and he hopes to stay a Zelda Dungeon staff member for a long time.

==Article Team==

==Forum Staff==

The forum staff takes charge of, well, the forums. They ensure that all members are following the rules. They also help keep the forums active by posting often and engaging our member base. They also give out warnings and infractions for misbehaving members on the forums that don't follow the rules. They also give input on upcoming forum features and rules.
