With the recent clarifications and revelations from Eiji Aonuma, we have updated our all-in-one page on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword with that relevant info. In case you missed it the first time around, one of the most intriguing new tidbits is that there will very possibly be a dungeon wherein Link loses his sword and must…
The title pretty much says it all here – our friends over at The Hylia had the fortune of actually going to E3 this year to catch Nintendo’s big unveiling of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and they’ve just published their footage from the show floor. After editing, it clocked in at twenty glorious…
Zelda Universe member Lint22, perhaps more commonly known as TheMaverickk (responsible for the beautiful album artwork from Essence of Lime), is at it again!

Yahoo has put together a series of “Then and Now” profiles for Nintendo’s most well-known characters, and naturally, Link is included. But it’s not Link’s inclusion in this list that caught our eye. Rather, it’s what his blurb suggests about the release date of Skyward Sword: “Link’s look is always a source of concern for…
In a recent interview with Gamespot, Eiji Aonuma shed a little more light on some of the changes Skyward Sword will bring to the Zelda series.

See that list of affiliated Zelda fan-sites over to the right? No, no, scroll down a little. There you go!

User Lint22 recently submitted this diagram, which compares the graphics of Skyward Sword to those of the last main console Zelda game, Twilight Princess. While the graphical styles of the two games are obviously different, is Skyward Sword graphically superior to its predecessor? Does it represent not only a step in a new direction, but…
Aonuma, Aonuma, Aonuma! It seems we have interviews with Eiji Aonuma coming out our ears! NZGamer’s, however, is one of the more interesting.

In a recent interview with GameInformer, Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma discussed his ever-growing desire to incorporate a multiplayer aspect in the Zelda series.

Jimmy Fallon is a geek for videogames, and he doesn’t care who knows it. Unfortunately he was not able to make it out to E3 due to his television program, so he’s bringing E3 to him. On his Late Night With Jimmy Fallon show, he is honoring E3 with Videogames Week, each day featuring a new…

There has been a great deal of talk and speculation about the landscape featured in the E3 demo of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Many people were surprised to see such large mushrooms in Hyrule (which is interesting as the demo seemed to take place in Skyloft, not Hyrule). Many people expressed confusion at seeing…
