Soundtrack Section Gets a Fix-up

We’ve been receiving complaints for a while about non-working links over in the Zelda Soundtracks section, and it’s been bugging us for a while as well. At last, all of the broken links in the section have been fixed; all of the files in all of the available soundtracks should be downloadable. If you find…

Happy Birthday: Zelda Wiki.org Turns 5

It seems like just yesterday that what we now know as Zelda Wiki.org was the Zelda Universe Wiki (“A Wiki Project of Data”, as the tagline went), a project started by myelf and forum-goer Yami. Although Yami quickly stepped down from managing the wiki, back then we were sporting ugly red, white and blue colors…

Bank of Hyrule: SplitReason T-Shirt Winners!

We saw some pretty amazing comments over the last week, all detailing where you’d wear this awesome Zelda t-shirt if you were to win it from us. Unfortunately, there can only be three winners – and only one of them gets to strut their stuff in the Zelda shirt. Did you win? Well, you could…

Our Brand New Wind Waker Walkthrough Goes Live!

Two Spirit Tracks Guides: Rabbits and Force Gems

Every once in a while, someone comes along and does us a favor – this can be anyone, but this time it was truly special. On the brink of surgery, Melissa came to us in an email, saying that she “noticed that certain areas like the rabbit locations was missing”. Not a day before her…

Back to Hyrule: A Spirit Tracks Review

I’m not ashamed of it: I didn’t like Phantom Hourglass very much. When I heard Nintendo was having another crack at a DS Zelda game and had seen the first trailer and batch of screenshots, I cringed. Phantom Hourglass was a game that suffered from several very deterring gameplay mechanics – the sailing was made…

The Nintendo DSi XL: A First Look

Although we’ve only had it for all of a few minutes, watch the video above for a quick overview of the console and a…

So, I’ll just give you all a rundown of the pages updated, and those that will be updated soon or in the near future. Updated right now…

Nintendo announced today at its media summit that the DSi XL console will be coming to the United States on March 28th, 2010, and will retain for $189.99- just a penny shy of $190. That’s quite a bit more than a DSi, and quite a lot more than a DS Lite. For those of you…
