An individual on the popular website Facebook is creating a group that he hopes will do the series justice.

It is true. I have finally took some time to punch out a mailbag for you guys. More inside.

We’re making polls a monthly thing now. And with today’s news about Project Deluge and E3 coming up, July’s poll (or at least for the first half of July until E3) is all about this new Zelda speculation - good idea? Bad idea? Fake or real? Vote in the monthly poll and let us know what you think.

Some of you may remember, or at least heard of the problems that Japan and America had with the release of Supar Smash Bros. Brawl. Well, it seems that Europe are also experiencing these problems. If you’re encountering read-errors, then you might want to contact Nintendo who are offering a FREE cleaning service to all who were affected by this. Read on for details.

There’s been a lot of buzz flying around, and with good cause - E3 is coming up, and Nintendo is anticipated to do something huge. We don’t know what it is yet, but some images from Nintendo power might shed some light on the issue. Hit the jump to see a “sword in the stone” inspirat illustration courtesy of Mr. BlurryCam, taken from the “next month” section of the August 2008 issue of Nintendo Power.

Is it true or is it fiction? Recent rumors are surging through the internet about a new Zelda game which will be announced at E3 2008. The presently titled Project Deluge or Valley of the Flood is rumored to be in the works from Nintendo in a recently released interview between Eiji Aonuma and a mysterious individual calling himself “Kyle.” The alleged interview, which originated at IGN’s forums, has not been confirmed to be legitimate but is raising interesting questions about the future of the Zelda series because of the new features in the game.

I hope you all have enjoyed the first few days with the new ZU - it’s been a great launch and I’m truly privileged to be a part of it. To close down the week, I have two announcements - and then it’s back to the normal routine of Zelda news and me trying to get the rest of the images on the site.

Power Shot, a frequent article writer for Zelda Universe, brings us his take on the original Legend of Zelda for NES in a series of “retrospective articles,” made just for ZU’s revamp, where he takes the Zelda series in a modern context, then proceeds to rip it to shreds. What did LoZ mean to Zelda history? How much has the series evolved since then? Is this old game truly worthy of the Legend of Zelda name? The answer lies within this Retrospective Review.

A big, hearty congratulations to the Podcast team - the revamp has caused Apple to re-review ZUCast, and this time we were approved in a single day! ZUCast is now officially in the iTunes Podcast Directory. The link on the right sidebar for “Subscribe via iTunes” has been updated and will take you to ZU’s iTunes Store location.

Alternatively, you can click here and go there right now. Don’t forget to subscribe - and look forward to the next cast, where ZUCast splits into two sections: ZCast, the Zelda podcast, and CCast, the ZU community podcast.

ZU has an incredible designer. His name is Anton Wiklund, and he created most everything you see here today. A bunch of smaller images on the site were derived from his work. But we feel that you didn’t really get to know him at all - you know me and Scott, but for one reason or another this beautiful temple seems like it came out of nowhere.

But Anton deserves more than your absolute devoted attention. Which is why ZUBC and ZU want you to send in your questions, so that our podcast team can interview him video and audio style. If you’ve ever been curious about the new layout in the last two days - its development, progress, why we chose what we did and how Anton Wiklund worked with our comments and directions - now is the time to send it in. And thank him for this beautiful layout, because it wasn’t myself or Scott that made it - it was Anton. A round of applause for him!

You can send in your questions anytime in the next week or so. After that, the podcast staff and I want to begin speaking with Anton and assembling the awesome video interview

Hit the jump for a contact form. Simply fill it and hit send. We’ll take the best questions we get and use them to fuel the interview.
