To celebrate their marriage, two Zelda fans got inked with sprites from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past of either Link or Zelda holding matching halves of Heart Containers. Each pixel is precisely reproduced, lending to an awesome two person tattoo combo. We at Zelda Universe congratulate the anonymous happy couple, and wish them…
Pointing to the famous Miyamoto quote, “Twilight Princess will be, without a doubt, the last Zelda game as you know it in its present form,” the gaming site Player Affinity put together an article asking if Skyward Sword can evolve the series beyond what they call the “ultimately staling Zelda formula.” Whether you agree with…
The above image has recently surfaced in cyberland and appears to be legit. That’s right – in addition to Japan, Europe also seems to be getting the Red Wii as well. There is still no official word on a North American release, but it’s safe to say we will hear from Nintendo of America soon.…
Many of us have wondered just where the Great Deku Tree was in Twilight Princess. The sentient tree was noticeably missing from that Zelda title when, for all intents and purposes, it should have been standing tall. Its absence has been a much debated mystery, but we never knew for sure exactly where the mystical tree…
As part of their year long celebration of Mario’s 25 years, Nintendo is set to release a special Mario Red edition of the Wii, complete with the new Wii Remote Plus (which we discussed in our previous article) on November 11 this year in Japan. As if hearkening back to the early days of the Nintendo Entertainment…
At the Nintendo Conference 2010 we learned nearly everything there is to know about the Nintendo 3DS, including its WiFi connectivity, the Virtual Console, pricing, release date, and near-launch game lineup. With all that in mind, the Australian gaming site Vooks put together an article from three different perspectives (each a Vooks writer) about “the…
Complete with references to Indiana Jones and Harry Potter and featuring a guest starring role by the series creator (and director and writer to boot,) Sandeep Parikh (of The Guild fame), Legend of Neil is back with a new episode and is better than ever! We’re sorry to see it winding to a close, but we’re…
In the beginning there was a golden artifact which many in the land fought tooth and nail for. And all these years later, the legend of that golden artifact lives on. No, we are not talking about the creation of the Triforce, we’re talking about the NES The Legend of Zelda cartridge! Luke Osterritter at…
Last week at the Nintendo Conference, Satoru Iwata (President at Nintendo) confirmed the existence of the Wii Remote Plus, a Wii Remote with the Wii MotionPlus peripheral built directly in. Mr. Iwata had this to say: “For the convenience of the users, Nintendo is developing Wii Remote Plus, which integrates Wii Remote and Wii MotionPlus. We will…
Yes, we did just post a story in which we compared the screen shots of the original N64 version of Ocarina of Time to the new 3DS version. But some wonderful, wonderful people over on a Portuguese forum created and posted animated images of four scenes seen in Ocarina of Time 3DS and compared those…
According to Softpedia, Nintendo just released the titles that will grace the 3DS on its Japanese launch date of February 26th, 2011, and they are pretty much what everyone expected. There is some debate at the moment as to whether Nintendo itself has actually confirmed these titles to be launch titles. GoNintendo counters this claim,…
On the heels of our previous article where we compared Skyward Sword‘s new screenshots to those from a few months ago, we will shift focus to Ocarina of Time and compare the 3DS screenshots to those from more than a decade ago in the original version. Thanks to IGN, we have a series of four…
In our previous post, we mentioned the color palette of the new Skyward Sword screenshots revealed at Nintendo’s recent press conference appears bit darker and duller than those from E3 back in June. Thankfully someone (going by the name Soul_Alchemist) pasted together a pairing of four matching (more or less) areas to compare. And it’s…
With a concrete release date comes online reservations. Play-Asia is offering gamers the opportunity to import the 3DS from Japan on the Japanese release date of February 26th, 2011 on their website here. Of course, we do know that the 3DS will be released elsewhere in March, so is the matter of a weeks or…
As part of their 2010 conference today, Nintendo offered up some “new” Skyward Sword screenshots. While they seem to be taken from the same demo area we saw at E3 and the lava-filled cavern seen in the E3 trailer for the game, it is interesting to see new still shots from the game. And is…
