3DS: September 29th Reveal

No, that’s the not the release date, you silly Zelda fan, you – that’s the date on which Nintendo will reveal the Japanese release date for the 3DS. And not just the release date, but the price as well! According to Bloomberg, Nintendo PR manager Yasuhiro Minagawa revealed in a phone interview with them that…

Skyward Sword in 2010?

Kotaku seems to think so. Or at least that it is a possibility. Nintendo’s recently released financial statements show the release date for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword as being 2011 in North America and Europe. No big news there. What is interesting, however, is that for Japan it shows only “TBA.” Certainly the…

Best 15 Zelda Songs

Huge Zelda fans (they say they gossip about Zelda for hours), damnlag debated amongst themselves and collectively chose their favorite fifteen (and one honorable mention) Zelda songs based on the following four factors: catchines, compositon, usage in-game, and lasting emotional effect. However, rather than using the in-game songs, they also chose their favorite arrangements or…

Scott Pilgrim Vs. Zelda!

As if you didn’t already have reason enough to go see the awesome-looking film, Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, now you have another thing to add to your list of reasons: Zelda music! According to Siliconera, who saw a screening at Comi-Con, “The Goddess Appears” from A Link to the Past (also known as “The Great…

The Legend of Neil: Season Three Premier

Some of us have been waiting for this for what seems an eternity. Others have only just recently discovered the fantastic series and have only been waiting a month or so. Ahem. The Legend of Neil season three premiers today, and we have the first episode for you here for your viewing pleasure! What does…

X-mas in July: Wind Waker Unplugged

We’ve all heard covers of Zelda songs, some good – some very bad. However, the cover we discovered today is very, very good! Not only is it a pitch-perfect recreation of the final credits theme to The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, it is inventive (drinking glasses for percussion?) and visually awesome as you…

Ocarina of Time 3DS Footage!

It was bound to appear sooner or later on YouTube, and it finally has! Footage from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3DS has finally found its way onto YouTube, thanks to French gaming site Puissance Nintendo. It isn’t much–just a tiny teaser trailer–and the effect is utterly lost on us as we do…

Skyward Derp: A Parody Trailer

It’s the elephant in the room. And no, we’re not talking about your mom. (Ka-zing!) We’ve all noticed how stupid Link looks in the Skyward Sword trailers. No, not the expression on his face, it’s always like that. It’s the fact that when Link runs, he holds the sword however you happen to be holding…

Musings on a Hypothetical Zelda Cartoon

These days it’s all the rage to rail against ye ol’ The Legend of Zelda cartoon series for cheap jokes. However, to those of us who were young children and had only a total of two Zelda games with which to compare it, rather than something to be despised, the 15 minute Zelda cartoon was…

Unconfirmed Rumors: 3DS Release Dates

According to TopNews, a UK news site, the Nintendo 3DS arrives on British shelves in March 2011. Japan? Retailers have been listing the release date as just before Christmas, simultaneously with North America. We may have the 3DS a whole lot sooner than we’d expected! Of course, please bear in mind these are only unconfirmed…

Eiji Aonuma: Skyward Sword Takes Place Before Ocarina of Time

Zelda fans love to debate the timeline. With each new game comes gradual statements by Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma about the title in question’s placement in the timeline. Sometimes, when these statements are made early in development, they are rescinded with newer and more concrete statements. Sometimes they are woefully mistranslated leading fans down…

In a far away land (New York), long, long ago, a young man played A Link to the Past, his first Zelda game, and fell in love with the franchise. Little did he know, it would eventually become a part of his profession. In a recent interview with IFC (Independent Film Channel), Reggie Fils-Aime (President and…

Fashion Week in Hyrule

Spotted and snapped by The SinfulKnight over at Kotaku, a Link look-alike in full Chosen One green garb is on display at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, NY. We can only hope that a regal Princess Zelda dress is on its way. But please, please, please don’t let Tingle inspire any of…
