Beautiful Legend of Zelda NES case mod

The original NES is the machine through which the Zelda series was brought to the world and so it’s always nice to see it getting some love after so many years. YouTube member platinumfungi has created a pretty awesome Zelda-themed NES case mod featuring pixel artwork of Link that lights up. Not only is it…

Link gets the minimalist treatment in unique fan art

Over the past quarter of a century, Link has appeared in thousands, if not millions, of works of fan art.  This one may be the most adorable, and also one of the simplest, yet.  Simply and elegantly, Andy Helms from “Ok Totally” has stripped Link down into a single green square, and yet somehow managed to keep him…

Rumored 3DS games’ image faked

As we predicted, the rumor was quickly dispelled. You won’t be seeing The Legend of Zelda: Fire Prophecy nor The Legend of Zelda: Ice Prophecy on your 3DS anytime soon (and with titles like those, thank heavens). GlitterBerri, renown for her fan translations of Hyrule Historia and other Japanese-only Zelda goodies, had a look at…

A page-by-page look at Hyrule Historia

Since its release in Japan, Hyrule Historia has been getting a huge response from the western world, with fans worldwide crying out for non-Japanese copies to be released.  Fortunately there are some great fan translations out there, but of course we’d all like to view the pages for ourselves, as well.  Unless you purchase a Japanese…

Drawing Zelda maps entirely from memory

As far as coming from the very first game in the series goes, the world map from the original The Legend of Zelda is one of the most detailed and complex of all the overworlds.  Even more impressive is what Mapstalgia is striving to do:  draw as many maps from video games as possible, all…

More translated details coming out of Hyrule Historia

More and more details keep coming out of the special Hyrule Historia book as fans of the Zelda series translate it into English. The Nintendo-dedicated website GoNintendo has released some new details that may surprise you and may get you thinking a bit differently towards the Zelda story.

Adventure of Link oil paintings

Fan Art… Thursday? Well, not quite. At risk of stepping on Eternal Legend’s toes, I found some fan art that was just too good to not post about. You see, The Adventure of Link inexplicably holds a place in my heart. Well, not inexplicable. I’ll explain. Despite all its flaws, The Adventure of Link was…

Skyloft concept art: not quite what you’d expect

What you see above is the heavenly city of Skyloft, Link and Zelda’s aerial home in Skyward Sword.  However, it didn’t always look quite like this.  Official concept art of this city in the sky has been released depicting what Skyloft looked like in its early days, consisting of many multiple islands, differently stylized buildings, and…

Man destroys his Dark Link figurine with Megaton hammer

What you see above are the shattered remains of none other than Dark Link, the antithesis of the Hero of Time, from Ocarina of Time.  A few months ago, JusDBerube received his much anticipated Dark Link figurine from First 4 Figures.  Unfortunately, its head was broken upon arrival, meaning that the wires which should have…

Hyrule Historia’s Zelda concept art translated

GlitterBerri and her team have been working non-stop translating every page of Hyrule Historia for all Zelda fans to enjoy, and now have translated pages 138–148, revealing some concept art for the various titles in the Legend of Zelda. Concept art ranging from A Link to the Past to Ocarina of Time are now translated,…

Kotaku and GamesRadar Are Wrong: Zelda Timeline Is Still Canon

Over the weekend yet another fascinating page of Hyrule Historia was translated by GlitterBerri and her team–an afterword in which Zelda series producer Eiji Aonuma reminds fans of something that he (and creator Shigeru Miyamoto) has said many times now: Zelda games are built on game mechanics first and a story is added after the fact to fit…

Eiji Aonuma talks gameplay, hints at the next Zelda game

Hyrule Historia is the gift that keeps on giving.  As more and more pages are translated and vigorously read by fans, we are given more previously unknown information about Zelda each day.  GlitterBerri has been quickly and accurately translating her copy of the book, and a quote from Eiji Aonuma not only reconfirms something that fans…
