The folks from Something Awful are either extremely patient, extremely crazy, or possibly both, to put together a music remix video based on quotes from the CD-i Zelda cut scenes. Drop the Dodongo is a surprisingly catchy tune and the animations are hilarious. Don’t be surprised if it’s stuck in your head for the rest…
The cut scenes littered throughout Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon are often the subject of scorn, but they were not the first time that Link and Zelda were animated and given voices. Most fans of The Legend of Zelda have some familiarity with The Legend of Zelda animated series,…
The CD-i Zelda month celebrations continue with another artistic portrayal of classic, cheesy Zelda cut scenes. Mixing his love for Etch-A-Sketching and CD-i Zelda games, one of ZU’s very own has combined two of the most tedious works of art to create a more aesthetic form. Rather than watching a boring, two hour video of…
Merry Christma- I mean, Squadalah! Even though it is not that jolly time of year, CD-i month makes it feel like the holidays. Wait a minute. I just noticed that the Squadalah guy is kind of like Santa Claus! Except he doesn’t bring presents. Oh well. Today we bring you a merry image featuring four…
Today we return with the second half of the Angry Video Game Nerd’s experience with the CD-i console. Part two takes a look at the other two CD-i Zelda titles, Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda’s Adventure. The Wand of Gamelon and The Faces of Evil were released on the same day and can…
CD-i month continues with the help of Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN for short) who is a very popular YouTuber that plays old games and gives his (sometimes vulgar) opinions. Stepping back in time, Angry Video Game Nerd couldn’t play the Phillips CD-i without taking a stab at the three Zelda games released for the…
CD-i month wouldn’t be complete without a contest! Unlike the Nintendo Zelda games, most fans were not introduced to the CD-i Zelda games by playing them but instead by watching videos of them. If it weren’t for YouTube, Nintendo may have been successful in trying to banish all knowledge of the CD-i Zelda games from…
They’re actually not that bad. No really, they’re not actually that bad. Yes, yes, I know that the cinematics are terrible. I also know what the Angry Video Game Nerd said about them. And I acknowledge that by no means are they some epitome of gaming that should be placed upon a golden pedestal somewhere. …
We at Zelda Universe couldn’t get far into CD-i month without showing you the number one reason why the CD-i Zelda games are so infamous. Like many of the Nintendo Zelda titles, the CD-i ones intermixed gameplay with a number of cutscenes. It’s these cutscenes that have made many a Zelda fan cringe, or laugh,…
It is written, the month of March on ZU is also the month of the Zelda CD-i games. We will post CD-i related posts every day for the entire month. Look forward to reviews, articles exploring both the good (wait, what?) and the bad and the hillariously bad. There will be contests, fanart highlights, youtube…
The oft-maligned (with good reason) Phillips CD-i Zelda games are a bad dream Nintendo would like to forget. What was originally meant to be an agreement between Nintendo and Phillips to co-develop a CD-ROM enhancement for the Super Nintendo morphed instead into an agreement to license out some specific Nintendo characters, Link and Zelda being two.…
If there’s a single year that should have been the best year for The Legend of Zelda out of all 25 of them so far, it should have been 1993. After having received the joy of A Link to the Past and after several years of Zelda cartoons and comics, the last thing that anyone…
[youtube]-MD2b2ivtZs[/youtube] Hey everyone! The mailbag is back, and in this week’s edition I cover several of your questions, including one about the probability of Majora’s Mask 3DS and one about Zelda CD-i! The mailbag will be back again next week, so remember to send in your (Zelda-related) questions.
When asked why we love Zelda – why we preorder, theorize, create fan art and fan fiction, and while away the hours on fan sites such as this one – our thoughts usually turn to our favorite games. As a fanbase, our favorite Zelda titles vary widely, from old to new, console to handheld and…
