The Legend of Zelda movie poster concepts

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…

Featured Forum Thread: Thesis Edition

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…

All the concept art from Hyrule Historia

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.…

iPad “clone” of The Wind Waker coming soon

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…

High-resolution digital fan-art of Toon Link

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…

The Characterization of Link: Ending the Nostalgia

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.
