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…
You might be surprised to know that we aren’t the only ones fascinated by the Zelda CD-i games. In rare cases, the games are referenced in official media. Even if you despise their existence, you can’t deny that their anomalous nature as products with the “Zelda” label has left a widespread impact — to the point…
We hope you’re all enjoying CD-ii Month. This week we are featuring more musical stylings of King Harkinian. Who knew The King could both rule over Koridai and have a successful music career? Amanda’s picks: King Harkinian goes punk in this video of Liam Lynch’s “United States of Whatever.” His rockin’ performance tells the entire…
A long day of bombing Dodongos leaves a hero disheveled. Stargazer-eyes illustrates Link using his trusty brush to freshen up his beautiful golden hair in preparation for the King’s dinner. After all, Zelda will be there. Maybe this time he’ll get that kiss. With hair as perfect as his, there’s no way she could resist!
We had a great time reading all of your entries, and have chosen our winners. Congratulations to Nick Laure and Daniel Tei, the winners of the CD-ii month caption contest. Their wit and creativity earned each of them a fabulous pair of skull earrings from Fangamer. Nick writes: “It is written only Link can seduce…
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…

The CD-i games are infamous for their horrendous dialogue (among other things). Think you can do better? Write a caption for the image below and make us laugh. The two people that we think wrote the most amusing caption will each win a pair of Skull Earrings from Fangamer, which are also on sale right here.…
Hello everyone and happy Monday! We all know what Monday means: it’s music time! Today we have two very special pieces of music picked out that show just how hip the King of Hyrule is. If this doesn’t convince you, I don’t know what will! Morgan’s Picks: My first selection is a remix of the…
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…
There’s a certain level of attention to detail that makes the Zelda franchise memorable. The setting, plot, and characters just have a relatable “human” feel to them. I believe that a large part of this is due to the strong presence of cultural references. The world’s heritage, especially in its Eastern and/or ancient forms, pops…
The relationship between Link and Zelda has long been debated. Some see the two as a romantic pair, often nicknamed “Zelink,” while others see them as simply friends or even relatives. It’s time to put an end to the arguing and discover the truth. I have definitive proof that Zelink is indeed canon, thanks to…
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.
The CD-i Zelda games are especially memorable for their animation, which was considered state of the art during the ’90’s. These cartoon forms of the characters have since served as the template for some prime videos on the web, in the form of YouTube Poop. The video-sharing website is abundant with poop featuring Phillips’ take…
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…
