UPDATE: The forums are back up and in full swing. Get back to posting, everyone! 🙂 Due to a pretty nasty bug that arose late this afternoon, we have been forced to restore the ZU forums to their state from this morning. We deeply apologize for this – we tried everything we could in a…
Hola, folks! It’s your resident webmaster Jason here once again, with site updates and information for you. I said a while back that I’d be investigating several issues around the site, so please read more to find out what’s been updated, what’s been fixed, and what you can expect to see in the future on…
It looks the Nintendo’s Zelda team may have some catching up to do when it comes to visuals. Nintendo Everything is reporting that Monster Hunter 3’s visuals were so impressive that even Nintendo’s Zelda Wii team is feeling the pressure to make the next Zelda look better. This could result in a graphical quality burst…
Today’s been a great day for Zelda Universe (and subsequently Zelda fans). While we’re all waiting for three (yes, we count Tingle’s games) Zelda titles to be released, it seems the forums have been bustling. Not only have we released a new update for our forum template, the Zelda Temple (now version 2.1), but for…
Even more new features and upgrades have come to ZU! Today’s big focus was on the ZU IRC chatroom. For those of you unfamiliar with IRC, it stands for Internet Relay Chat – and it’s how ZUers communicate with each other in real time. Zelda Universe has long provided easy access to its online chatroom,…
There are a few bugs people have been emailing and telling us about. Rest assured, we know about them and hope to have them fixed within a week. For more info, just read on.
Everyone’s abuzz on the Zelda Universe Forums about the new changes that have just been implemented. I’d like to take this opportunity, then, to explain the changes that have been made to the forums – as well as shed some light on the future of some features on the boards. If any of that intrigues…
I said I’d be back Wednesday, and I’m here. The winners have been notified of their winning statuses, but I’m sure everyone who entered would like to know who the lucky two victors of this contest are.
I was contacted by Joe Rovang, a Zelda fan who – surprisingly – had only recently picked up The Wind Waker. To help himself remember where certain objects and places were within the expanse of the Great Sea, he had created an incredible high-resolution map. When I saw it, I knew precisely what had to…
Entries for the Bank of Hyrule contest, after a week of being open, have been closed. Thank you everyone who entered! We’re going to tally up the entries, run the raffle, pick out our favorite photos, and post all of the results on Wednesday. If you think you won, be on the lookout for an…
David Cousens from PSDFan has posted a Photoshop tutorial describing the process through which he created a pretty impeccable work of art depicting Link in his Deku Scrub form from Majora’s Mask. The artwork is top-notch, but the tutorial is not for the faint of heart. If you’re not 100% comfortable in Photoshop and lack…
It’s time! For those who didn’t read the post directly below this one, we’re celebrating the launch of The Bank of Hyrule with – what else – a contest! We’re giving away two prizes: Four volumes of VizKid’s The Legend of Zelda manga, and an X-Rocker II gaming chair (with speakers built-in!). To enter, all…
It’s here, everyone – to celebrate the launch of The Bank of Hyrule, and to prove we’re serious about running contests, what better to hold than a kickoff contest? The gracious folks from Mounts and More and Viz Media have offered to sponsor our first contest. It’s open to everyone, everywhere (yes, everywhere), and we’re…
I know there’s been a lot of downtime recently – especially today – so I just want to let everyone know that I’m working on it. There’s a plugin on ZU’s backend that seems to be causing frequent fatal errors, so I’ve temporarily disabled a good chunk of ZU’s functionality while I explore what the…
I figured that it’s been far too long that we didn’t offer some sort of music from the original Legend of Zelda for NES, so I have posted ten tracks from that very game in the soundtracks section. They’re up right now for you to download: Go check it out! While you’re at it, don’t…
