As some of you may know, at the end of last month, the Deadpool video game came out, starring the famous wise-cracking, 4th wall-breaking comic book mercenary.

It has come and gone, Nintendo’s E3 conference has just ended and we have nothing new to report on the status of Zelda Wii U. Has Nintendo forgotten about our green-clad hero? Certainly not! Hyrule is well represented in NintendoLand in the form of BattleQuest (more on that in just a bit!). But there was no mention of an actual Wii U Zelda title, nor a 3DS Zelda title.

Being that The Legend of Zelda is one of the longest running and widely known series among hardcore gamers and casual players alike, it has become something of an icon in the video game industry. Almost anyone who has ever owned a Nintendo console has played or at least seen a Zelda game in the past. Over the twenty five year long history Zelda has become a household name in video gaming.
