Today marks the one year anniversary of the official launch of our very own Zelda Wiki. While the Wiki actually opened up a few months prior to the launch, it was this post that triggered the start of our now one-year long journey. On this date last year, the Zelda Dungeon Wiki had just surpassed 100 articles. Flash forward a full year and we can now celebrate 3,000 articles on the Wiki! To celebrate the launch, we’ve completely revamped the…

How has Zelda been able to maintain such a high level of success and quality over the last few decades?

For much of the past year, Nintendo has been celebrating 25 years of the Legend of Zelda series. We got Ocarina of Time 3D, Four Swords Anniversary Edition, Skyward Sword, several classics for the 3DS e-shop, Hyrule Historia, and even a special Zelda symphony concert. It was quite a…

As part of the 25th Anniversary for The Legend of Zelda, Nintendo released Four Swords as a free download for anyone with a DSI or 3DS. The game received a partial makeover featuring a second quest which contains new levels that take inspiration from previous Zelda games. Nintendo gave us a very considerate amount of time to download the title, but sadly, the deadline is coming up very soon. February 20th will be the last day this title is available…

KUSI News had a video that they posted up where they were talking about Dennis Conner, an American yachtsman. Now this may seem to be one of those posts where one wonders, “Why the heck is this posted up on here? This has nothing to do with Zelda!” True, at first glance it doesn’t, but if one focuses intently on the background music playing in the video you can hear music from the Legend of Zelda playing. Take the jump…

He recorded a video showcasing each card that comes in this deck. He also took some high resolution…
