There’s a lot of fun to be had with the CD-i Zelda games, which is why this is the second time we’re running CD-i Month. For those of you who missed out last year or want to revisit some great CD-i moments, I bring you the best of CD-i Month 2013. These are some of…
PeanutButterGamer is a popular YouTuber who makes a variety of gaming-related videos. For the past few years, every November has been “Zelda Month” on his channel, not unlike the way that March has been CD-i Month here at Zelda Universe this year and last. Last year during Zelda Month, PeanutButterGamer decided to review Link: The Faces…
Morshu’s the kind of shopkeeper who’s more than happy to help you get what you need… as long as you have enough rubies. YouTuber Marquis of Edamamae wanted to bring this iconic CD-i character to life and began by recreating the costume: “I spent some time fashioning a mustache that looked accurate … the vest is an…
We wouldn’t be celebrating CD-ii Month properly without holding a contest and giving away some great prizes. Don’t worry, we’re not giving away copies of Wand of Gamelon or Faces of Evil! Fangamer have kindly sent us some of their awesome Zelda-themed merchandise which the winner of this contest will receive.
One year ago, the team here at Zelda Universe decided to spend the month of March celebrating the Zelda CD-i games. As was said at the time, “It is written, the month of March on ZU is also the month of the Zelda CD-i games.” The month of March is upon us once again and…
Those of us who remember the days when “console wars” meant Nintendo vs. Sega probably think back to posters of the Mario Bros. and Sonic the Hedgehog adorning opposite walls of their local video game shop. And those of us who can think back a little further might remember that Sonic wasn’t Sega’s original mascot.…
Ten years ago, a fighting game was released, one that excited many Zelda fans. No, it wasn’t a Super Smash Bros. game. Soul Calibur II was the third game in Namco’s Soul series, and the first to include guest characters alongside the roster of regular characters in the series.
Dragon Con wasn’t the only big convention where Zelda fans came out to play a couple of weekends ago. The US Labor Day weekend also played host to PAX, one of the largest consumer-focused gaming conventions in the world. Nintendo and the Zelda series had a strong presence, with demos of both The Wind Waker HD…
How many of you out there decided to learn to play the ocarina after playing Ocarina of Time? David Ramos is one Zelda fan who did just that. He’s not the only one, but his wanting to try an instrument from a video game turned into a real passion for the ocarina. Not only has he…
About the only thing from the CD-i Zelda games that isn’t universally criticized are their soundtracks. Well, except for Zelda’s Adventure, but that game doesn’t have much of a soundtrack, just a lot of weird atmospheric background noises. But if you listen to the music from the first two games, it really isn’t that bad.…
“Cute” is not normally a word that is associated with any of the characters from the CD-i Zelda games. In today’s piece of fan art, Flitter-Flutter has managed to depict Link and the two versions of Zelda in just that way. Instead of the obnoxiously annoying heroes we’re used to, the trio seen here look…
We’re more than well aware, especially after reading numerous protests against our CD-i Month posts, that there are a lot of Zelda fans who would love nothing more than to scrub the CD-i Zelda games out of existence and remove these stains from the series’ otherwise (mostly) shiny history. So if you were to meet…
The third and final Let’s Play of the CD-i Zelda games is Zelda’s Adventure. This game is very different from the first two CD-i Zelda titles, and we’re following HalfBlindGamer as he plays it to find out just how different it is. Hit the jump for the first video in the series, and the playlist, to watch…
King Harkinian is by far the most widely cosplayed character from the CD-i Zelda games, but occasionally he does not cosplay alone. The two cosplays I have lined up today feature the king with his beloved daughter, Princess Zelda herself. Interestingly, I could not find any other examples of someone cosplaying CD-i Princess Zelda outside…
Now that we’re into the final week of CD-i month, we know that many of you must be eager to get your hands on the CD-i Zelda games and own them for yourself. Well, never fear! We wouldn’t tease you with pieces of CD-i goodness all month without also showing you where you can buy…
