When Link gets bored, he torments poor Cuccos and pigs and the like. Or at least he does if the person playing him chooses to do so. Scott Falco recognized this bizarre bit of non-PETA approved Zelda gameplay and created an animation depicting just what could happen should Link continue his animal cruelty. This isn’t Scott…
Jim Unwin, famous for his graphic design for Little Big Planet, created a piece of art called “Link, Chicken, Monster” featuring… well, exactly that. Using an adaptation of the Wind Waker style, the piece of art depicts a very modern looking Link with presumedly a Cucco beside him, and behind both appears to be a…
There are quite a few Majora’s Mask 10th anniversary celebrations across the internet this month, but one of my favorites so far is Kishmet’s Majora’s Mask deviantART gallery. Starting at the beginning of the month and continuing until October 25th (the North America release date), Kishmet’s goal is to complete a picture each day. Some of…
We’ll admit it: we don’t know a whole lot about cosplay. Nor do we passionately follow it. However, at a recent convention, Anime Weekend Atlanta, an ocarina player named Heather cosplaying as Zelda bumped into one of the most well-known persons to portray Link, an individual who goes by “Linkinspirit.” Both able ocarina players, they decided…
Have you ever wondered what Zelda would look like in a God of War style? Neither have we! But regardless, we present you with “Link of War” – a brilliant piece of fan art depicting Link and Ganon in a God of War style. Seriously though, the piece is fantastic. Brazilian artist David Hsu Yen brings Link…
Some of you may remember our news post last week about an upcoming Zelda marathon going on at Versus Marathons. Well, that marathon starts tomorrow! Here’s a quick recap for those that may have missed it: All proceeds will be donated to Child’s Play Charity. The marathon will last for 60 hours, unless enough funds are…
After reading through over 93 valid entries and struggling to choose a top twenty, and then a top ten, and finally a winner with five runners up (what is this, ZU’s Next Top Contest Winner?) we are excited to present the winner of our Skyward Sword Giveaway! Back on July 15 we posted an article…
No, your eyes have not deceived you. This is, in fact, Eternal Legend’s second Fan Art Spotlight. The Zelda Universe community is extremely lucky – not only to have such talented artists among us, but to have artists whose talents only increase, amazing us more and more with each work of art that they create.…
Saving the world. That’s what we call it. I mean, hey, that’s what everyone calls it. But nobody wants to just save the world – they want to save the people. Who would venture to save a world with no inhabitants? In the Legend of Zelda series that’s the draw of the plot – to…
It’s always nice to make some new friends, right? Well, today we’re announcing our affiliation with Zelda Eternity, a growing Zelda fan site that, since the end of the summer, has held a Zelda marathon for charity and opened up their very own message boards (which may or may not feel strikingly familiar to anyone…
While not at all Zelda-related, we just had to share with you this magical mural. Created and painted by students at Columbus College of Art & Design, the mural was created by twelve students to advertise their first Town Hall Meeting where students can voice their questions and concerns. The mural took the twelve artists…
We’ve stumbled across another fantastic Zelda-related artist that we just have to share with you. Ryan Shiu, known as Ry Spirit on deviantART, is a fantastic artist in his own right, with a gorgeously detailed style of painting that feels equally real and fantastical at the same time. But being a Zelda fan, I feel…

Here’s some of the newest highlights from some places outside the Universe you should be checking out.
At Zelda Universe we’re no strangers to Zelda marathons – we’ve been reporting on lots of them this summer. But even we are pleasantly surprised at the new Legend of Zelda Versus Marathon. The traditional aspects of Zelda marathons are present. This will be a live stream of gamers playing Zelda games for days on…
Everyone loves a good laugh, right? A few days ago the team of GoNintendo and Shamoozal released Read Only Memory: Vol 1, an animated short film made to (lovingly) parody some beloved Nintendo franchises. The video showcases some high quality animation, especially for Youtube. Filled with some pretty quirky humor, there are four short scenes: Turnips…
