Croatian National Guard

One of the deepest, darkest secrets of the ZNG, and knowledge previously unknown to all but the ZNG's founder, Nintendoer, the ZNG is more than just a group of LoZ nerds. In reality, it is a secret faction of the Croatian armed forces. All members of the ZNG were secretly enrolled upon joining the group, as outlined in Nintendoer's initial comment in the ZNG's founding. The Croatian National Guard (ZNG) is called upon in times of war or video game internet debates conducted by the Croatian government.
Currently, every member of the light-hearted Zelda Nerd G...uh..."G" is also a member of the Croatian National Guard. Forsaken_Sheikah (AKA "V") is not an official member of the ZNG, but serves the Guard as a mercenary. Or private security, or something.
==History==
The Zbor narodne garde (English: Croatian National Guard) was established by the Croatian government in 1991, before most of the ZNG was born. While this later went on to be rebranded the Croatian Army, that didn't stop Nintendoer's meniacal scheme to subject the members of the ZNG to indentured servitude. While on a camping trip in June 2015, thinking of a way to get back at Stagger for beating him in an Ocarina of Time speedrun, Nintendoer stumbled upon the perfect opportunity when Stagger, Blake, and NoFaceFred founded the ZNG. Nintendoer contacted the Croatian government (or was a spy all along. Who knows?) to reinstate and repurpose the National Guard. He then recruited the founding members of the ZNG with a legally-binding agreement in the fine print of a Miiverse comment (which somehow nobody noticed) on June 19, 2015, and every person to join since has also been recruited, as stated in the agreement. At this time, the ZNG has not yet been called into action, but Nintendoer awaits the day with bated breath when he can see his plan come to fruition. Truly, this is a plot that only an android can dream up (or calculate using cognative circuits...whatever).
On March 18, 2020, the secret that had long been known only to the leader of the ZNG finally came to light. Matt, in his social isolation-induced boredom, sought to entertain himself with a light-hearted google search of the term "zng". What he found, however, was sure to change the nature of the ZNG forever. Matt shared his discovery on the ZNG Discord group, to which Nintendoer had no choice but to come clean to the rest of the group. The current fate of the National Guard is, as of right now, uncertain.
