Hey, Universe! I’m Rusty, here with no adjective to describe this Music Monday! Today, we take a somber look at Zelda, because let’s face it, even a hero like Link has his bad days. Tomorrow, ZeldaUniverse says goodbye to both Bastian and Timothy, which really stinks, because Bastian is a fantastic editor and Timothy is…
The Zelda series has never had a full length movie made from it. Many fans are happy for this fact, pointing out the failure of Super Mario Bros. in the early 90s. Even so, Marinko Milosevski has shown how awesome the artwork could be for a movie based on the Zelda series. His fake posters look beautiful…
The Wind Waker is probably one of Zelda’s most controversial games. From the cel-shaded graphics to the endless sailing on the Great Sea, game critics and Zelda fans alike have found something to criticize about the game. Yet if you go underneath the surface of the game, you find yourself looking at something entirely…
We’ve certainly posted about a lot of Zelda covers over the years, but some of the most innovative and interesting came from YouTuber Sp0ntanius (yes, that’s a zero in there) who is known for his videos brimming full of equal parts musical talent and humor. He’s covered Zelda songs on beer bottles, kids toys, hair…
When first boarding the pirate ship in The Wind Waker the then-lowest ranked pirate, Niko, decides he must first put you through an absurdly elaborate (and unrelated test). This test turned out to be difficult for many of us. deviantArt member Dilly-Oh gives a glimpse into how many of us wish this little test could…
The art style from The Wind Waker has always been a topic of debate among many players of the series. Some claim that it’s too cartoonish, while others claim it is actually a great contribution to the gameplay and story. Either way you look at it, Jake Kazdal, director of Skulls of the Shogun, says he based his…
A musician who goes by the name, TheJonnyDeath, just posted a new song on his YouTube channel the other day. In fact, he allowed fans to vote on the song he would cover. And what did the fans vote on? “Dragon Roost Island” from The Wind Waker. And let us tell you, it is epic.…
This week, for our Featured Forum Thread, I had to consider carefully a few threads, and whether or not I would feature a Zelda-related thread or a thread from the other parts of the board. There are so many great discussions going on these days over at our forums, it was hard to decide! After…
For those of us not lucky enough to have ordered a copy of the book in time, Hyrule Historia’s pages and pages of Zelda concept art has been a bit elusive. With only periodic scans and uploads from various fans, we’ve had to satisfy our concept art cravings a bite at a time. No longer.…
Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, does not approve of playing games on devices that aren’t solely made for gaming. With that in mind, it’s not likely that we’ll be seeing a Zelda game for smart phones or tablets any time soon. However, if you are a fan of such portable gaming, then perhaps Oceanhorn is…
Joel Furtado, a Canadian animator, has created an amazing work styled after The Wind Waker. This “sequel” titled The Legend of Zelda: The Lost Oracle, is his own vision of what such a game might be like were it ever to be made on the Wii U. More info after the jump!
Over at tikisaurus, news writer John reported on a new release over in Japan, Zelda playing cards, in celebration of the Japanese Zelda anniversary.

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…
A few weeks ago, YouTube user Rudo1984 created a 3D digital model of Link from The Wind Waker. Inspired by the game’s “unique art style,” the model is featured in a minute-long video in which it rotates upon a 360 degree axis, allowing for all of its features to be observed in what appears to…
Whenever the subject of developing the character of Link is brought up, Zelda fans appear in droves to insist that Link should be a blank slate for the player to project themselves onto, complaining that it would ruin the Zelda experience that they know and love if Link became a character of his own. The…
