Everybody has friends, and we’re no exception here at Zelda Universe – but there is a pretty big difference between our friends and most people’s friends: all our friends have awesome gaming websites. Here’s some of the newest highlights from some places outside the Universe you should be checking out.
In all the fuss about the Skyward Sword, some fans have managed to overlook another exciting matter- the upcoming remake of the classic Ocarina of Time. The game is hailed among many fans as the greatest in the series; it brought the Zelda universe into the 3D realm, and it also implemented a lot of gameplay mechanics (especially…
At Zelda Universe we’re no strangers to Zelda marathons – we’ve been reporting on lots of them this summer. But even we are pleasantly surprised at the new Legend of Zelda Versus Marathon. The traditional aspects of Zelda marathons are present. This will be a live stream of gamers playing Zelda games for days on…
While it may not be necessarily related to the Legend of Zelda series, we know that many fans of the franchise have also been eagerly awaiting the release of the next Golden Sun installment – and for good reason. Although Golden Sun is an RPG series held highly by fans and critics alike, its developers have not…
There are a lot of little inside gags among Zelda fans, and there’s nothing wrong with poking a little fun now and then. But when people aren’t laughing at/running from invincible crazed chickens (and pigs) , sometimes their jokes stray towards another favorite subject: Navi. Despite all the stigma surrounding the fairy, Escapist Magazine has…

It creates an air of anticipation that is almost overwhelming, does it not? While waiting for the newest installment in the Legend of Zelda series, what better way to learn to…
Everyone loves a good laugh, right? A few days ago the team of GoNintendo and Shamoozal released Read Only Memory: Vol 1, an animated short film made to (lovingly) parody some beloved Nintendo franchises. The video showcases some high quality animation, especially for Youtube. Filled with some pretty quirky humor, there are four short scenes: Turnips…
There’s a certain charm that comes with a series which places its story origins in auto-erotic asphyxiation. For those who may be unfamiliar, Legend of Neil is a live action web series which parodies many video games, but specifically hits the Zelda soft spot more often than any other. While remaining thoroughly tasteless and obscene,…
Note: Readers may have noticed my mistake yesterday of referencing a female figure in the trailer, where I meant to reference the one in the concept art – I sincerely apologize for the mistake, and it has been fixed. Posted earlier today on the website of none other than Official Nintendo Magazine, is a new interview…
Are you a connoisseur of fine art? Are you starting your own art museum? Do you like Zelda? If you answered “yes” to at least one of the above questions, then we’ve got news for you: TheMaverickk, whose Skyward Sword Comparative Studies we have been featuring, has chosen to reveal to us some of his work from within…
Now for something I think we can all enjoy: toys. First 4 Figures, for those who may be unaware, is a top dollar figurine company from the United Kingdom which specializes in licensed figures based on video game characters. They have been making quality figures for collectors for a while now, and their ever-expanding selection…
Hey out there ZUsers, my name is Jordan and I’m a new staff member here on the site. I’ve been on the forums for a little over five years, so many of you may be familiar with me already. For those who know me (and for those who do not) : yes, this has inflated…
That’s right, the Nintendo Wii has now sold it’s 30 millionth copy, and what’s more, in only 45 months! There was a time when Sony could tout the Playstation 2 as the fastest selling console of all time, but it seems the Wii has outdone that console – and by a margin of 15 months. Though…
