Pielno is a new group of Zelda fans who’ve made some impressive violin and piano tracks for various Zelda songs – all, currently, from Ocarina of Time.

Nintendo has announced the Motion Plus, an attachment for our beloved Wiimote that extends its motion sensing capabilities. 1:1 motion sensing is the benefit here – something that the Wii has lacked since its launch. Such a lack has made games that rely heavily on movement in 3D space annoying; the Motion Plus should fix…

Our friend Derek has gone above and beyond and produced a beautiful new wallpaper for ZU using stock Twilight Princess art, stock art from ZU’s own Zelda Temple, and his own creations that match the style perfectly. Thanks for the hard work, Derek! This will be the first in a series of wallpapers based around…

The third installment of Radek’s three-part wallpaper series is here, featuring artwork of Ganondorf. It’s available for download both in this post and in the wallpaper section of the site. ZU Exclusive Super Smash Bros. Brawl 1920 x 1200 1600 x 1200 1280 x 1024 1024 x 768

The poster to your left was released in an issue of Nintendo power as an advertisement for Disagaea DS. Apparently the artist who designed the ad was ever-so-bold enough to create what Nintendo is calling merely a “speculative” look at a possible DS redesign. The artwork first made its way to the internets through Aeropause,…

The second installment of Radek’s three-part wallpaper series is here, featuring artwork of Zelda. It’s available for download both in this post and in the wallpaper section of the site. ZU Exclusive Super Smash Bros. Brawl 1920 x 1200 1600 x 1200 1280 x 1024 1024 x 768

It’s about time we said something about wallpapers. With the site looking as good as it is, it’d be a shame if we didn’t turn the layout into a wallpaper or two… or three. Well, I haven’t done that yet – but I have a few wallpapers in mind, and they will be made available…

News has been slower than ever as Nintendo attempts fervently to keeps its most secret projects hush-hush before the E3 craziness, but there’s never a shortage of rumors. IGN has taken what we know and amalgamated it into an article pointing out the possible games and announcements that’ll come from The Big N at the…

We’re making polls a monthly thing now. And with today’s news about Project Deluge and E3 coming up, July’s poll (or at least for the first half of July until E3) is all about this new Zelda speculation – good idea? Bad idea? Fake or real? Vote in the monthly poll and let us know…

There’s been a lot of buzz flying around, and with good cause – E3 is coming up, and Nintendo is anticipated to do something huge. We don’t know what it is yet, but some images from Nintendo power might shed some light on the issue. Hit the jump to see a “sword in the stone”…

I hope you all have enjoyed the first few days with the new ZU – it’s been a great launch and I’m truly privileged to be a part of it. To close down the week, I have two announcements – and then it’s back to the normal routine of Zelda news and me trying to…

Somebody tipped me off to this video on YouTube – for anybody familiar with the game “Spore”, an upcoming title for PC, you will know that the Creature Creator beta was released not too long ago. Since then, people have gone wild creating incredible monsters of their own, including recreations of famous Zelda races and…

I know I say this every time, but there is TOO much going on behind the scenes that the amount of manhours the ZU staff is putting into the revamp cannot be understated. And so, we can all relax now and take an hour and a half break – with the release of the third…

What’s with all these Final Fantasy nerds wanting to affiliate with ZU? …what? I’m a Final Fantasy nerd? Oh, right! I forgot all about that… and so, SquareSound has joined our list of friends on the sidebar.

ZU’s databases got borked last night, specifically the forums. While we didn’t LOSE any posts, and won’t need to restore from a backup, we do need to repair the databases for the entire site to make sure nothing screwy happens. As a result, ZU has been down all day and will probably go down again…
