Hey there, Universe! Today is Monday, and you know what that means… another Music Monday! Today we will be focusing on two fantastic re-orchestrations of two fantastic Zelda songs. First, I have a re-orchestration my friend Dasgust made of the Skyward Sword theme! Then, I have one of my favourite ZREO remixes, the Wind Waker…
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…
Develop Online got the chance to interview the man in charge of the Zelda series, Eiji Aonuma. Aside from discussing the Zelda series itself and how it has lasted for a quarter of a century, they asked him what it was like to work in Shigeru Miyamoto’s shadow, and how he has stayed motivated after…
Recently, artist Constantin Georges released (fake) screenshots of what Skyward Sword would look like if it was for the original Game Boy, and now he’s released a second set. Hit the jump to see both sets!
Hey, guys! With every theme we do at ChrisCrossMedia we always host a giveaway at the end of the month. As many of you know we are currently doing our Zelda themed month to celebrate Skyward Sword and the 25th Anniversary of Zelda. With that said, we are giving away two new copies of Skyward Sword.

“The Group” from Twilight Princess: they’re one of the most beloved organizations in the history of the Zelda series, and many people were hoping to see more of them in a future Zelda title. While that probably isn’t likely unless Twilight Princess gets a direct sequel (which itself probably isn’t likely), perhaps Nintendo is aware…
The Japanese-only manga prequel to Skyward Sword is getting a fan translation by GlitterBerri, known for her recent translation of the infamous official Zelda timeline from Hyrule Historia. She’s been hard at work translating the fantastic new manga. Want a taste?
Hey, guys! Something that we typically like to do on our channel is do various challenges based on our monthly themes. We usually will play various competitive games and tally how many wins we have at the end of the month/theme to determine a winner. The winner gets bragging rights, while the loser gets told what to…
Since early screenshots were released showing this brand new form of Hylian, Zelda fans have been hard at work translating it. Hyrule Historia says that the alphabet was “too ancient to translate” but clearly they underestimated Zelda Universe forum member Sarinilli who was able to crack the code via some small text found in the…
In recent years Nintendo has developed a trend using a major installment in the Zelda series as a jumping off point for a sequel utilizing the predecessor’s art style. To save time and costs, Majora’s Mask utilized everything from the engine to the graphics and even characters for its direct sequel. Similarly, Phantom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks…
Hello there, Universe! It is Monday, and that means it’s time for another wonderful Music Monday! Today we will be focusing on musical instruments in (and out of) the Zelda games. The soundtrack in the Zelda series is a huge part of the experience, but musical instruments as items in the game are just as…
For those of you who’ve been playing Skyward Sword, you know that the game poses a lot of interesting questions. In fact, it made me think of a lot more questions than it actually solved for me! And so today, I want to delve into the story of Skyward Sword and ruminate on the backstory…
2011 was a wonderful year to be a Zelda fan. With the series celebrating its 25th anniversary along with two major game releases, Nintendo pulled out all the stops to ensure that its fans would be left feeling overloaded with goodies. Here are my favorite highlights from 2011.
Skyward Sword has received raving critical reviews in both Japan and around the world, but, for some reason, the Japanese market isn’t showing the same amount of love for this most recent Zelda title as the rest of us are. Released in Japan on November 23, 2011, Skyward Sword is one of Nintendo’s biggest budget projects,…

To celebrate, Takara Tommy A.R.T.S. is releasing a set of six figures of Link and Zelda from three of the most beloved Zelda titles: Ocarina of Time, Phantom Hourglass,…
