Just a few days ago, a new Kickstarter project began for The Complete SNES – Collector’s Book and Ultimate Guide. The project aims to release a near 500-page book detailing every release for the Super Nintendo from all regions. As one of the most popular titles for the Super Nintendo, you can be sure that A…
The annual Zeldathon marathon event began late last week. The event raises money for charity while fans of The Legend of Zelda play through every game in the series, including spin-offs and the notorious (but beloved) Phillips CD-i video games, on stream for six days straight each summer. This year, Zeldathon Recovery is raising money for Direct…
We know, we know. You’re all incredibly jealous of our sweet E3 merch, including the awesome Breath of the Wild commemorative coin that E3 booth attendees got their mitts on. We do feel kind of bad though, it’s not fair that all you lovely die hard Zelda fans won’t get a chance to own one. What’s that?…
This past week at E3 2016, several members of the Zelda Universe team had the opportunity to meet up with our friend, Nintendo-focused YouTuber AbdallahSmash026. Everyone we sent to Los Angeles this year had the opportunity to play Breath of the Wild multiple times, with most of us averaging about one hour of gameplay each. But Nintendo invited Abdallah to spend an…
As if the E3 hype train hadn’t gathered enough steam already, Amazon appears to have leaked new concept art for Zelda Wii U. The gorgeous artwork, attached to the Amazon listing for the game, depicts Link hanging off a cliff face in front of a stunning vista of what is presumably Hyrule. Supposedly that’s a smouldering…
Hello there, everyone. I’m Michael Baller, the webmaster, co-founder, and whatnot from Zelda Eternity, a Zelda fan site I created. If you didn’t already guess from the title of this news post, Zelda Eternity is merging with Zelda Universe. Merging wasn’t a very easy decision for me to make, as it entails closing my site, but…
Unlike PC gaming, one of the major drawbacks to console gaming for some users has been the inability to easily modify the games to create customised content. This is slowly changing as games like Super Mario Maker and LittleBigPlanet offer the user the chance to create and share content built on the consoles themselves. There…
For nostalgic collectors of retro video games it can be tough to keep those old cartridges safe from things such as temperature, dust, and time itself. Unless you have the money for a climate-controlled cabinet or room, chances are your NES cartridges are either sitting on a shelf or piled in a box. Contacts get…
A new mod for the Super Smash Bros. series seems to be making the rounds online. Those savvy about competitive Smash.are probably familiar with the Project M mod for Brawl, and it seems that this new mod for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U has a similar premise in mind. For the uninitiated, Project M was a…
With the final downloadable characters for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS finally released only this year, it seems silly to think the Smash Bros. fanbase still clings to a two-generation old version of the Nintendo IP free-for-all. Nevertheless, Super Smash Bros. Melee’s popularity persists to this day; scooping up more contestants than any other game in most esports…
The YouTube channel DaysideTV is releasing a short Zelda film, but instead of going the traditional route and covering one of the games, or a new story closely related to the games, they’re taking a totally new approach. Set in modern-day Hong Kong, Link is a former member of the police force and is hunting for Zelda, while Ganon…
It’s been an incredible 20 years of gaming with Nintendo since the release of the iconic Nintendo 64. We’ve seen a small handful of amazing consoles since its debut: the GameCube, the DS, the Wii and Wii U – but for some, you just can’t beat a classic N64. Why? For its time, the Nintendo…
Behold, for another speed run marathon is in the works!

Have you ever wanted to play the ocarina in the elegant and dignified way Link and Zelda do in Ocarina of Time, not only by playing Zelda songs on it, but more complex ones, too? Perhaps your wishes have been granted, for a complete and detailed “how to” book is finally in the works! David…
Nintendo has always been very protective of their intellectual properties, no matter how old they may be. They have put an end to fan projects in the past centered around Super Mario Bros. and Pokemon, for example. This time, the latest tribute project doing the rounds online set The Legend of Zelda at the forefront, but Nintendo again…
