Now that Japanese development on Hyrule Warriors is complete, Nintendo is taking to NicoNico to show off the highly anticipated game in a live streaming event. During the stream, you can expect appearances by some very special guests, including Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma, as well as the CEO of Tecmo Koei, Yoichi Erikawa. The event takes…
Imagine being a kid, stuck in the hospital for weeks or months at a time. While your friends are playing and having fun, you’re getting poked with needles. No kid wants to be in the hospital, which is why our friends over at Zelda Eternity are hosting “Zelda For Eternity V” to raise money for Child’s…
Once Upon a Tee has just launched Monthly Legend, a new Zelda-themed subscription service. For $12.99 a month, Once Upon a Tee will ship a new Zelda designed T-shirt or phone case that you can’t get anywhere else, right to your door. To celebrate the new Monthly Legend program, Zelda Universe is hosting a giveaway. One lucky winner will…
Now that Fi has joined the cast of Hyrule Warriors, I thought it would be only appropriate to pay tribute to Link’s Skyward Sword companion. I love how her coloring in this picture by anokazue perfectly blends in with the ocean. It’s also nice to see Fi showing emotion. She looks happy and completely at peace, rather than soulless and…
In order to complete A Link Between Worlds, most gamers can expect to put in about 10-15 hours of gameplay. However, speedrunner Anwonu isn’t your average player. He managed to beat the game in just one hour, 31 minutes, setting a new record for the fastest A Link Between Worlds playthrough. To achieve such a fast run, he took…
Zelda Universe is once again partnering with Fangamer for a smashing new contest. On Monday, a new Super Smash Bros. fighter will be revealed. Think you can guess who it will be? Then head over to our Facebook page and leave a comment with your prediction. Guess correctly, and your name goes into a pool to…
We can say with 100 percent certainty that Fi, Link’s Skyward Sword companion, has been added to the list of playable characters in Hyrule Warriors. We don’t have any explicit details regarding her fighting techniques — perhaps she’ll slowly drive her enemies mad by spouting useless statistics? However, considering her spirit dwells within a sword, she’s likely…
It’s summertime, so that means it’s time for some fun, unless of course you’re in the southern hemisphere in which case you could use pick-me-up to get you through the winter. This week’s Music Monday is all about fun. We hope these musical selections bring a smile to your face! Alex’s pick The music from the…
The creative team that delivered the highly successful The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses tour has a new project up their sleeves — or perhaps more appropriately, their pockets. Since 1996, Pokémon has given us countless hours of gaming fun, plus a delightful soundtrack. Premiering this summer is Pokémon: Symphonic Evolutions, an orchestral concert tour showcasing music…
What’s great about the Super Smash Bros. soundtrack is that it’s basically a massive medley of all your favorite Nintendo games. The folks at Shinesparkers saw this as an opportunity to create Harmony of Heroes, a fan-made album featuring the talents of more than 60 musicians from around the world. With more than 90 musical selections, it will…
Now that Nintendo has announced that Twilight Princess character Agitha, the Princess of Bugs, is a playable character in Hyrule Warriors, I thought it would be only fitting to feature the young royal in this week’s Fanart Friday. I love the colors in this picture of Agitha by DeviantArt user, Xenonia. The self-proclaimed princess looks so…
During E3, a few of us were lucky enough to try out the upcoming Dynasty Warriors spin-off, Hyrule Warriors. We’ve put together a video of our first-hand experience with the demo with Zelda Universe’s own Hombre de Mundo and EternaLegend delivering their overall impressions. After the video, you can read about my thoughts on the game as…
The Japanese publication Famitsu has revealed new information for Hyrule Warriors, including new characters, weapons, attacks and abilities. Back from Twilight Princess is Agitha, “Princess of Bugs.” This marks her first appearance in a video game since her brief cameo as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. The addition of Agitha is pretty unexpected, but nonetheless is a cool concept. Not…
Without relationships, The Legend of Zelda would be pretty much pointless. In Ocarina of Time, Link would have a hard time getting around if he didn’t have Epona, and where would he be without support from Saria? Link and Zelda are best friends (or perhaps something more) in Skyward Sword. Yeto the Yeti from Twilight Princess is desperate to help his…
As a female gamer, it’s nice having the option to play as a girl. I love immersing myself into the story and understanding the character’s motives. When I play as a girl, I am more likely to connect with and become that character. Not only does Hyrule Warriors feature a large cast of playable female…
