OoTThis user plays [[|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]].

Legend

• abbr: abbreviation for the name of the game
• color: dominant color to be used in userbox (in addition to white)
• game: name of the game
• page (optional): the Wikipedia page that represents the game - if not specified, will default to the name of the game

Known issues

• Doesn't work well with large amount of text in the left side (the abbreviation) -- please edit the source code if you know of a better formula to model the text length-size ratio!
• Doesn't work well with light colors / white (could create a reversed-color version or modify this one to work that way)

Possible improvements

(Not bugs per se)

• Handle cases where the text would look better if the game name were on its own line. See User:CaseyPenk/UBX/VG/Madden/94 -- this looks better if there's a <br /> between beginning text and name of the game.
• Handle series -- such as Madden series (perhaps have a parameter as a flag for series-ness?)
• Resize the right side field in case there is simply too much text to fit in two lines (see User:CaseyPenk/UBX/VG/consoles/Nintendo/NES)
• Make a small amount of text fit in one line by making the text smaller (see User:CaseyPenk/UBX/VG/Final Fantasy/I)
