Unification With DeviantART Group

Triforce Guardian — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 09:43:35 +0000

As most of you artists know we have a DeviantART group account and at this moment in time it’s more like a separate entity. Right now we’re taking steps to unify content better between here and that account, and this also includes fan fiction. So if you got artwork or literature (that’s Zelda related of course) on a DeviantART account please submit it to our group. If you’re unsure what to do of course I can help you with that. Likewise if you or your DeviantART buddies have their work shown off let them know of our little project. Of course we are striving to get some of those Deviants to submit work over here as well so we have better unity between our galleries.
When we have better unity between the two sites hopefully we’ll have some community activities lined up after everything has panned out.

If you haven’t done so before please check out our group page, there is a huge range of talent on there: LoZ.com DeviantART Group

Get Ready for Season 3 of Neil!

Abyss Master — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 20:40:25 +0000

Ah yes, the Legend of… Neil. Well, it doesn’t sit quite so nicely on the tongue as Zelda, but it is nonetheless the name of an online parody of the Legend of Zelda series, and it has now reached its third season.

Some of you might remember that we posted about an upcoming interview not too long ago, and I hope you’ve gotten your questions sent in folks, cuz time’s up and the third season is upon us, for real!

You will find all episodes, including the newest one, here.

Who are the Dark Interlopers?

Xizor — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 05:40:23 +0000

This is a question that I’m sure many of you avid Zelda theorists have asked yourself. Well, now we have an answer for you! Clonan Rhenche discusses this in his newest article, which asks who are these Dark Interlopers? Are they possibly former Sheikah…who have betrayed their own ways? Check out the article here!

Did Someone Say Timeline?

Abyss Master — Wed, 21 Jul 2010 18:39:19 +0000

Well, Eiji Aonuma did, according to Zelda Dungeon who has it from the Official Nintendo Magazine. What is it that we learn in this interview with the Zelda director?

Well, here’s the quote, as seen in the interview:

“Yes there is a master timeline but it’s a confidential document!” explains Aonuma-san. “The only people to have access to that document are myself, Mr. Miyamoto and the director of the title. We can’t share it with anyone else! I have already talked to Mr. Miyamoto about this so I am comfortable in releasing this information – this title [Skyward Sword] takes place before Ocarina of Time. If I said that a certain title was ‘the first Zelda game’, then that means that we can’t ever make a title that takes place before that! So for us to add titles to the series, we have to have a way of putting the titles before or after each other.”

What did we learn from this? Well, a number of things. Let’s list them:

1. Skyward Sword, the upcoming Zelda game for the Wii, will take place before Ocarina of Time.
2. There is a timeline as decided upon by the developers, and it is kept in a document available only to Miyamoto, Aonuma and the director of whatever Zelda game that’s being made.
3. Nintendo are keeping their options open with both prequels and sequels.

Head over to Zelda Dungeon to see scans of the interview. Alternately, you’ll just have to read the magazine for yourself.

Fashion in Hyrule

Abyss Master — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 22:15:54 +0000

Kotaku reports of a sighting of Link in all his green elf glory on display at New York’s Fashion Institute of Technology. There’s no swords or shields here, but he does have his boomerang, hat and seemingly fake blonde hair.

Here’s the picture to go with it:

Skyward Sword Expected Early 2011

Triforce Guardian — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 09:01:26 +0000

Nintendo are hoping to release the next Legend of Zelda title for the Wii in early 2011. So hopefully we’ll be able to get this in no time. Since Nintendo’s fiscal year ends at the end of March next year then imagine this, they’re trying to make sure we get Skyward Sword and the 3DS before the end of that month. And this will allow Nintendo to spread more titles throughout the rest of the year. This is of course just one of many major titles that they have lined up, excited much?
