Hello! Some of you may recognize me from the forums or my previous guides, but for those who don’t know me I will introduce myself. My name is Melissa, and I joined the Zelda Universe staff in order to help improve the various guides. At this point I am focusing on Spirit Tracks, which brings…
Do you love Spirit Tracks as much as we do? Then you will be very interested in reading this Nintendo Power interview with director Daiki Iwamoto, where he answers questions such as: First a boat, and now a train-why do the Zelda games for Nintendo DS feature vehicles in such a prominent way? Chancellor Cole…
Every once in a while, someone comes along and does us a favor – this can be anyone, but this time it was truly special. On the brink of surgery, Melissa came to us in an email, saying that she “noticed that certain areas like the rabbit locations was missing”. Not a day before her…
I’m not ashamed of it: I didn’t like Phantom Hourglass very much. When I heard Nintendo was having another crack at a DS Zelda game and had seen the first trailer and batch of screenshots, I cringed. Phantom Hourglass was a game that suffered from several very deterring gameplay mechanics – the sailing was made…
Can you believe it? Time sure flies – it seems like just yesterday that our founder and savior Lars was planting his flag in the soft, untrodden turf of the Zelda fansite realm. Fast forward to today, and Zelda Universe is the hustlingest, bustlingest Zelda fansite out there. So much has happened in the last…
Hey there, everyone – I’m incredibly pleased to announce that Zelda Universe’s Spirit Tracks walkthrough is now one hundred percent complete.

Several sheets of Spirit Tracks concept art, as well as art from various other games, were leaked by a Nintendo employee on 2chan and later posted by a user on the NeoGAF Forums. As you can see below, there are several different train designs and what even appears to be a flying boat-train! Seeing this…
[youtube]sE3ZA7q87Ek[/youtube] Happy Valentine’s Day (I hope, anyway), and welcome to another installment of the ZU Mailbag! You guys seriously overwhelmed me this week with the amount and quality of questions. It was really hard to choose only five! I also have a special treat for you this week. Some questions actually have other staff members’…
It’s the Puzzles that Make Spirit Tracks Special Guest Article By MYK1217 I’ll be honest with you, I was highly disappointed with Phantom Hourglass, the first Zelda game on the Nintendo DS. In fact, it was my least favorite of the Zelda games. I thought it was a very empty game that had a lot…
Zelda Universe’s Spirit Tracks walkthrough has been updated once again to include the beginnings of the end of the game. That’s right, folks, it now covers the first half of the Dark Realm – bombarding the Armored Trains for survival. Although there’s no clear way to get through this section of the game, the guide…
Zelda Universe’s Spirit Tracks walkthrough has FINALLY been updated to include the final visit to the Tower of Spirits! This is one doosy of an update – the section of the walkthrough is massive. Writing it was nuts, but it’s finished and ready! For those of you who might still be stuck on this crazy…

[youtube]oVcfQz0l_G4[/youtube] You’ve stumbled upon my wonderful face, I guess. That’s right, after a few attempts at audio, I have decided to make the leap into video. Once the ZU Channel launched on YouTube, Cody suggested that the Mailbag go video, so I broke out the camera and recorded one. The video you see above was…
