We’ve been waiting for so long–well, since E3 this past June–but we finally are blessed with not only more details about the much anticipated Ocarina of Time 3DS, but also screenshots and even a bit of video as well! Hit the jump for the full details, screenshots, and video!
That’s right, kids. Per their plan to reveal the release date, Nindendo held a conference about the much anticipated 3D handheld and said that Japan would be the first to recieve the 3DS on February 26th, priced at roughly the equivalent of $300. If you think that’s frighteningly expensive for a handheld console, don’t worry…
In a recent interview with CVG (Computers and Video Games), the creator of Deus Ex and the upcoming Wii exclusive Epic Mickey revealed himself to be quite a Nintendo fanboy, specifically for the Zelda series. Warren Spector insisted to them that he loves the Zelda (and Mario) franchises, and that it has been his dream to…
The Gold Zelda Triforce Game Boy Advance SPs were rare enough as they were, but one signed by the legendary game genius himself, Shigeru Miyamoto? There were only thirty. That’s right, only thirty rare handhelds were made available to the first thirty people in line at the grand opening of the Nintendo World store in…
We’ll admit it: we don’t know a whole lot about cosplay. Nor do we passionately follow it. However, at a recent convention, Anime Weekend Atlanta, an ocarina player named Heather cosplaying as Zelda bumped into one of the most well-known persons to portray Link, an individual who goes by “Linkinspirit.” Both able ocarina players, they decided…
Have you ever wondered what Zelda would look like in a God of War style? Neither have we! But regardless, we present you with “Link of War” – a brilliant piece of fan art depicting Link and Ganon in a God of War style. Seriously though, the piece is fantastic. Brazilian artist David Hsu Yen brings Link…
As we previously reported, Symphonic Legends broadcasted live from Germany yesterday with an astonishing complete Zelda symphony arranged by the very talented Jonne Valtonen. And it was fantastic! What? You missed it? Well, you’re in luck: it has already started appearing on YouTube, thanks to wonderful YouTube member KajunW. The Zelda suite, entitled The Legend of…
On the heels of our last story about the revealed powerful 3DS specs, 1Up plucked this interesting tidbit from an early July IGN article on the 3DS which explains the obvious: rather than using the powerful handheld’s powers for 3D, that processing power could be allocated to create even better 2D graphics. Thanks, Captain Obvious.…
Released under the condition of anonymity, a videogame developer working on the Nintendo 3DS revealed to IGN the specs for the forthcoming handheld device, and my goodness, they’re impressive! Hit the jump for the disclosure on the hardware!
The end is drawing nigh, and this new Legend of Neil makes that very clear. Neil, realizing that he is ill equipped to defeat Ganon’s minions – let alone the big blue bastard himself – seeks the out the one true way in which all heroes ready themselves for the big fight: a montage! Will…
Just in time for Halloween (well, okay, it’s a couple months early) a spooky bit of hoaxery has been making its rounds in the gaming community. We’ve refrained from posting on it, primarily because of how absurdly fake it is, but it has grown in popularity so much that we feel obligated to keep you in…
He’s vertically-challenged, has a bulbous nose, an unflattering mustache, and is technically obese… but Mario still manages to out-jump anyone in the Mushroom Kingdom. Besides, they always say it’s what’s inside that counts. Well, now, we can finally see exactly what is inside Mario. Artist Jason Freeny, popular for his fictional anatomies of other characters…
While many of the relics of the original Zelda are still manifest in recent games (puzzle-solving, swordplay, enchanted items, and so on) one key aspect of the early The Legend of Zelda games that really played a big part in the game’s success has been absent in recent iterations for a very long time now:…
Holy Triforce, Batman! We’ve been missing pieces of Neil without even realizing it! Apart from the regular episodes, this season they are releasing “minisodes” between each proper episode. While they may not be essential to the plot, they provide all the hearty laughs in a smaller snack-sized portion. And we have all three that have…
We at Zelda Universe have to give credit where credit is due. While he may not be our favorite “child” of Shigeru Miyamoto, he certainly was the first born. And like many an older brother out there he’s won more awards, is more popular, and dated that one cheerleader you were really into. Wait. What?…
