Welcome to ZU’s latest Bank of Hyrule contest! Wow, who knew that we’d be holding another contest just in time for Spirit Tracks’s release? We didn’t! (Actually, we did.)

Nintendo has posted a brand new volume of its Iwata Asks interview series, where Satoru Iwata speaks with team members behind Nintendo’s consoles and games, and this time it’s focused entirely on the development of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. If you’re interested at all in the choices Nintendo made while creating Spirit Tracks,…
Our flagship interactive story, Dawn of Shadows, has received the gift of a new passage on its quest for completion. For those of you not familiar with our interactive stories, these are tomes of literature that anybody can add to and continue, just by writing the next part and submitting it to us. Make sure…
Another day, another awesome wallpaper submission – this time by a person going by T.H.B., who gathered together the entire set of images from The Wind Waker’s introduction sequence and put them into a stylish, stone-like image for your desktop.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 may be the fastest selling game of all time, but it certainly doesn’t ignore its inspirations. One fan has managed to catch what could be a subtle nod to the Zelda series present on the arm of Modern Warfare 2’s cameo uniforms. Someone at Infinity Ward must be a…

It looks like Reggie Fils-Aime is out and about, and he’s talking about what’s going to happen next year at Nintendo.
