Using ZU’s RSS Feed to Get News

I’ve given Zelda Universe’s RSS icon a spitshine, as well as fixed up our entire messy RSS system (so that the podcast is prepared for the future as well). However, I’m sure a bunch of you might not know what RSS is or what it’s used for. In short, an RSS feed (or simply “feed”)…

New Soundtrack! Zelda: The Music

It’s been a while since we’ve added some new tunes to our soundtrack section, hasn’t it? Well then, it’s about time we announced the immediate availability of a new soundtrack, entitled Zelda: The Music. The album is a Japan-exclusive combination of music from all sorts of Zelda games, ranging from the very first Legend of…

Majora’s Mask Now Available for VC in the US

Nintendo has released Majora’s Mask for the Virtual Console in the US – you can download it right now for 1000 Wii Points (or $10 in “real money”). If you’ve never played Majora’s Mask before, or did and got frustrated (like yours truly), this is your shining moment to redeem yourself and play the sequel…

ZU

After much debate (read: none at all), ZU finally has an official Facebook page, as well as a soon to be often-updated Twitter account. The Twitter account will tweet out the latest Zelda news from ZU, as well as do anything else we feel like it should do. The Facebook page is just the portal…

Majora’s Mask Section Updated

I know that Majora’s Mask is nothing new (aside from its recent Virtual Console release), but when someone walks up to me and tells me they see something wrong – well, I just have to fix it! As a result, three pages have been changed up and revamped in the Majora’s Mask section. They are…

April Fools!

If you saw it coming, good for you – if not, perhaps you should have taken off that blindfold. The truth is, and we hate to admit it with all the trains in the room, that we just don’t love trains enough to completely replace Zelda Universe with a site called Train Universe… even if…

Zelda Universe is now Train Universe!

Zelda Universe is changing tracks as a result of Nintendo’s recent unveiling of The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks for Nintendo DS. Our parent company, Linkorporated, loved the traffic increase from Spirit Tracks so much that they’ve told us to move the site in an entirely new direction, a direction which all the staff here…

Get involved on Zelda Wiki!

Think you know something about Zelda? Well, Zelda Wiki.org, a joint project between Zelda Universe and many other Zelda sites, is looking to improve its Spirit Tracks articles. If you think you know anything about Spirit Tracks (which we’d hope you do after reading ZU for the last several days), you should head on over…

IGN Rewind: Spirit Tracks Trailer

In the first-ever Nintendo-themed IGN Rewind, IGN dissects the trailer in a similar fashion to Gametrailers’s video from yesterday, but with a new twist: This one’s got a voiceover! In addition, the narrators of the video offer up some further insight into the functions and tools available to Link in Phantom Hourglass. Hit the break…

Book Review: The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy

The PhD-packing conglomerates have a lot to say about existentialism, but can they prove they’ve gotten their doctorates in Zelda theorizing? The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy is an odd book to write about, because although I see theories and predictions in the form of forum posts and lengthy articles, it’s not often that such…

Gametrailers Releases Spirit Tracks Pop-Block Video

The video, carefully composed by friend of the site TSA (one of several people who worked to bring you the OoT Japanese Promo Guide), runs through the Spirit Tracks trailer and describes possible new features, plot points, and controls that will be prevalent in The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. Have a look after the…

Spirit Tracks Page Now Live

While we gather information about Spirit Tracks, I’ve set up ZU’s information hub here. Spirit tracks has been added to our game menu above; it’s the picture furthest to the right with the abbreviation “ST” underneath. And yep, Link’s in his conductor’s outfit in the lil’ picture. There’s nothing on the page right now but…

GDC 2009: Nintendo unveils… a new Zelda game!

Remember way back when, when Project Deluge was the rumored title for the next big Zelda game? It had an intricate and dark supposed storyline, a main character that, for a change, wasn’t our usual Link, and a creative steampunk setting? Well, you’re not going to believe this, but a few moments ago, Nintendo unveiled…

IGN’s Iwata Keynote Liveblog

As we all know, GDC is under way, and it could spell great news for Zelda… if we’re lucky. Nintendo’s keynote is poised to begin at 9:00am PST (12:00 EST) today, and IGN will be liveblogging the event as it happens at this address. But be warned – it could be another grand demo of…
