At the same time, it does seem a bit redundant with the title of the work in large text just above the quote. I can't imagine seeing a quote that's not from the work left unsourced, so I think it's a fair assumption that a quote attributed to a character solely is from the work in question.
Edit: Perhaps something like "Fi, first lines of the game" or "in the introductory cutscene" would be appropriate.

So a long time ago, I edited the introductory quote on the VideoGame.The Legend Of Zelda Skyward Sword page to actually display the quote's source as "Fi, The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword". However, someone else essentially undid my edit, with the edit reason of "Yes, obviously."
I argue that the quote's source is not necessarily obvious to a reader (particularly one unfamiliar with the series). A quote like that could have easily been pulled from a Skyward Sword-based fan-work (in which the quote's selection would be due to accurately fitting/describing the work in question) or from Fi's portrayal from a Skyward Sword commercial, rather than from the game itself. There are also examples of some works using quotes that are related to the work's concept yet not derived from the work itself - an example is apparent on VideoGame.New Super Mario Bros 2, which relies on a Toonami quote that seems to fittingly emphasize the coin-collecting nature of that game. Without the quote properly being sourced, if you are unfamiliar with the Super Mario series and/or Toonami, one could think that the quote is from the game itself.
Anyways, my main question is: should introductory quotes for a given work be sourced, even if the quote's source is perceived as "obvious" by some people? Thanks for the help.
