Two Rumors That Aren’t About Zelda

Does the legal-looking picture to the left look familiar to you? With all the press surrounding this nearly year-old patent, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of you in the comments said it was a frame from the next Zelda trailer. But with all the emails both the news staff and I have been getting…

ZUBC Headquarters – The Place for Podcasts

To make ZUCast and the ZUBC (or Zelda Universe Broadcasting Corporation) a little more visible on the site, I’ve made a ZUBC Headquarters page. I’ve also made it more obvious how to subscribe to ZUCast, our community podcast, by removing the RSS link to the Podcast and making it a subscribe via iTunes-only deal. In…

SSBB Characters Page Updated: Better Images

I’m happy to announce that our Super Smash Bros. Brawl Characters page has gotten a slight face lift in the form of images with transparent backgrounds. This is the first part of an improvement we’re hoping to bring to the rest of our Zelda sections as well – the highest quality images on the internet.…

Two New Merchandise Items

Just a quick update here – I’ve added two previously missing items to our Merchandise pages, on the Clothing page specifically. If you look amongst the shirts and caps, you’ll see we now list the “Don’t Make Me Go Zelda on You” t-shirt, as well as a fashionable Legend of Zelda Pin on the page.…

ZU Wishes You a Happy New Year

From all of us at Zelda Universe we hope your 2009 is safe, happy, economically sound, and – if we’re lucky at all – Zelda-filled. As always, we’ll be spending the beginnings of the year hunting for any news of the next Zelda game, while also working to expand on our already vast array of…

Food Delivery Channel to Hit Japan

Ah, the fruits of our new Submit News button are paying off. Apparently another interesting channel will be coming to Japanese Wii owners soon. Set for launch next Spring, the Food Delivery Channel will work in concert with demae-can.com to bring the hungry their sustenance. The channel will also have the ability to randomly select…

New Features: Submit News & Submit an Article

I’ve added two new pages to the site underneath the Site Related section on the left sidebar that I can’t believe I didn’t add sooner, and I’m convinced ZU will become better for it. What are these pages? Why, so good of you to ask. Submit News is a page with a special contact form…

ZU’s Back – Sorry for the downtime!

Due to a bug in our cPanel software, our databases got knocked out last night at around 10:30pm. We immediately began dumping them and repairing them. Luckily, nothing was wrong, and we were able to restore the databases completely. No data was lost, but there might be some rampant bugs. The wiki is down at…

New Searching System

For those of you who haven’t noticed, ZU has had a search bar underneath the scrolling game menu ever since our revamp six months ago (what, it took you six months to notice?). But for those six months, our searching abilities have been pretty… well, crappy. That all changes now. The search bar has gotten…

Merry Christmahanaquanzika to All!

That’s right! For all you people of very many denominations, merry whatever-it-is you may be celebrating tonight, tomorrow, sometime during the holidays. And with that said… we’re gonna take a short break as well and relax ourselves (news-wise, anyway – I’ve got lots of work to do on the server this Christmas eve). See you…

PH Visual Walkthrough Part 27

The penultimate entry in the Phantom Hourglass visual walkthrough covers the true final battle between Link and Bellum (in the form of the so-called “Bellumbeck”). Who will be the ultimate victor? I think we already know the answer.

PH Visual Walkthrough Part 26

There seems to be some trouble with WordPress, so I can’t edit these videos into the PH Visual Walkthrough page in the PH section. However, I can still release ’em here! Part 26 is all about the fighting – Link’s showdown with Bellum inside the Temple of the Ocean King. But is it really the…

Happy Holidays from ZU!

Ah, snow. As you know what they say – when it rains, it pours (erm, snows a lot), so I’ve taken the liberty this morning of dousing the Zelda Temple with some fresh white stuff, and the forums to match. Hopefully it’s started snowing in your area – and if not, hopefully this is close…
