History

History includes information that is known to be corroborated by multiple sources across multiple valid sources. A key distinction between it and Lore is that Lore refers to items that may be legend or conveyed orally without additional corroboration. For example, The Great Deku Tree's version of the creation story should be regarded as legend while the Goddesses' version should be treated as historically accurate due to it being corroborated by all three Goddesses.
