Dear Nintendo, I am writing to you with a request for a Virtual Console release. Before you dismiss this letter along with the hundreds of other Virtual Console release requests that you no doubt receive each month, I implore you to hear me out because I have done research and can guarantee that these games…
It’s time to take another look at one of the CD-i Zelda games in its entirety. We’ve already done plenty of laughing at the cut scenes from Link: The Faces of Evil, so let’s take a look at how they fit in to the overall game. We join the HalfBlindGamer as he plays through it.
In last week’s look at CD-i Zelda cosplay, I mentioned that the king from Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon is by far the most popular character for cosplay. This week I bring you a second helping of King Harkinian costumes.
The King’s Birthday is a very well-made parody of the CD-i Zelda games done in the animation style of the cut scenes. Link and Zelda plan a surprise birthday party for the king.
We’ve made it halfway through CD-i Month without posting a single YouTube poop video yet. Yet if it weren’t for poop videos, the CD-i Zelda games may not be so well-known today. So it’s time for an oldie but a goodie: a well-known poop featuring the king and his dinner blaster.
We’ve been having a lot of fun with the CD-i Zelda games so far this month. We’ve shown you the ridiculous cut scenes and had a lot of laughs (and groans). Now it’s time to show you the games in their entirety. HalfBlindGamer has created a series of Let’s Play videos for all three CD-i…
Mah boi! This cosplay is what all true warriors strive for. King Harkinian is by far the most popular CD-i Zelda character when it comes to cosplay, so the second of CD-i month’s cosplay Tuesdays features several kings.
The folks from Something Awful are either extremely patient, extremely crazy, or possibly both, to put together a music remix video based on quotes from the CD-i Zelda cut scenes. Drop the Dodongo is a surprisingly catchy tune and the animations are hilarious. Don’t be surprised if it’s stuck in your head for the rest…
One of the features of CD-i month will be cosplay on Tuesdays. For some strange reason, the CD-i Zelda characters aren’t as popular to cosplay as their mainstream counterparts so I decided to seek out all of the CD-i Zelda cosplay that I could find. I was expecting to find a few kings and maybe…
CD-i month wouldn’t be complete without a contest! Unlike the Nintendo Zelda games, most fans were not introduced to the CD-i Zelda games by playing them but instead by watching videos of them. If it weren’t for YouTube, Nintendo may have been successful in trying to banish all knowledge of the CD-i Zelda games from…
We at Zelda Universe couldn’t get far into CD-i month without showing you the number one reason why the CD-i Zelda games are so infamous. Like many of the Nintendo Zelda titles, the CD-i ones intermixed gameplay with a number of cutscenes. It’s these cutscenes that have made many a Zelda fan cringe, or laugh,…
It started with a few strange dreams that bugged Hombre de Mundo while he was trying to answer ZU’s mailbag and grew into its own miniseries complete with a hunt for a witchdoctor on the other side of the world. Now that Hombre has learned that the whole world is at risk, will he find…
Have you ever been told by a friend or family member that you talk about Zelda too much? If so, you might just be the person I’m looking for! Zelda Universe is looking for some fresh faces to join our news team. So if you love to talk about Zelda and would like to share…
The second video in our series of in-depth impressions of games played at E3 features Sing (working title), the Wii U’s new karaoke-style party game. Take a look at how the game works, how it compares with other karaoke games, and whether or not Sing will be worth buying.
Last week we posted some vlog-style videos from E3 that gave you a glimpse into what it was like to be at the exhibition. Now it’s time to get into what everyone’s really interested in: the games! We’ll be posting a series of videos featuring impressions of the games that the ZU team who attended…
