I don't know what it is I did to deserve this, but lately I just can't get a good story to write about. People like Dathen get to cover really cool interviews with Shigeru Miyamoto, while I get handed stories about Tingle, pieces of chicken shaped like Ocarinas, and now some guy who painted shoes with Zelda designs. However, like any good journalist, I will put on my happy face and bring you the best and most informative piece I can. (Read more)

The World Zelda Music Radio has turned a year old now, and not a day goes by that we do not appreciate what they are providing to the community. A live streaming radio that plays Zelda music all day... what more could you possibly want? We sit back and to take a second to reflect on what WZMR has done for the community.  (Read more)

When I first reported on the revival of the Zelda Universe article team I was pretty excited. The article then brought back to us a writer who's only other piece was our most popular guest article of all time. That being said, the new article team team at ZU, called The Missing Link, has inspired yet another former article writer to come back from the depths to provide a very interesting read. Pipking, a former writer for the now dead Behind the Rupees team at ZU, provided a guest piece that covers the advancement of technology throughout the Zelda series.  (Read more)

Olivia Munn, cohost of Attack of the Show on G4tv, admits to loving Zelda. So the question is, why should we care? Maybe a better question is, why should we not care? She only is the cover girl for the latest playboy. Take the jump, you crazy people you. (Read more)

While we here at ZeldaInformer pride ourselves in our article writings, it does not mean we are the only ones around doing it. Zelda Universe, our arch rival for all eternity, recently put together their own article team lead by Crab Helmet. While this is not their first article released, it does happen to be by a certain someone whose last piece is arguably the most popular article in the short history of Zelda fansites.  Check inside for my "somewhat" in-depth review.

It seems that lately the talk about Zelda has really hit an all time high. Not only has the Wii art inspired new theories, discussions, and excitement, but with Spirit Tracks around the corner conversations are truly spurring at record paces. Now the tale of another Zelda-related title has been leaked to the public. While the previous Tingle game never made it stateside, it never the less confirms that those damn Japs just can't get enough of our old man in tights. Take the jump to see what our loving map maker is doing now. (Read more)

Yes, before we even see a trailer for Wii Zelda, information already comes out from a somewhat credible source that the highly-anticipated title has already been delayed for next year to see if Wii Motion Plus catches on. As in, they don't know weather or not yet to make Wii Zelda Wii Motion Plus exclusive or not.  (Read more)

At E3 this past week, Spirit Tracks was available in a three part demo on the show floor to show off the key elements that the game had to offer. So, was the feeling coming out that Spirit Tracks is a masterpiece? Do people think the game is garbage? Well folks, based purely off a demo, the feelings seem be riding both sides of the fence.

When we first reported on the Zelda Wii official art, all we could grasp was a tiny image from some random Nintendo fansite. It was blurry, and certain details were impossible to make out. However, we now have our hands a full size shot of what is being touted as the official art shown at E3 by Miyamoto of the next Wii Zelda. Interestingly enough, it seems legit due to certain sites that have posted it, as well as the interview discussions and reports from sites such IGN. Take the jump to glance at this beauty.

E3 is just a few days away, and a lot of big things are expected from Nintendo. In fact, some would go as far as to say Nintendo needs something big to really remind the game world that the Wii is not dying, and that Nintendo is still the king. Sure, we'll hear about sales figures, and how Nintendo still controls the market and is making a piss load of money, but what consumers want to here is that we will be seeing some good quality games. Namely, a blockbuster hit such as the highly anticipated announcement of the first full blown Wii Zelda adventure. (Read more)

For those gamers who are of the legal limit, beer and video games has long since been a winning combination. From heart stopping smash fests, to raiding in games like World of Warcraft, beer has been the icing on the cake. It's no surprise then that to many, beer and Zelda just go together. Is that puzzle confusing you? Take a few sips, relax, and laugh as your charcter does the barrel roll. Works for me every time. I  bet no one thought that beer and Zelda would work together quite like this though... (Read more)

A few of you may remember my impressions of a certain Link's Awakening 3D project a while ago. As it happens, a second LA3D, entitled Ballad of the Wind Fish, is in the works, complete with an alpha demo release. Rather than taking the Phantom Hourglass approach of a top-down 3D world, Ballad of the Wind Fish takes an over-the-shoulder perspective common to 3D console Zeldas. Impressions of the alpha demo can be found after the jump. (Read more)

In an ongoing editorial at Kombo.com, Joey Davidson takes a look at the role of female characters in video games. This is the first part in what is assumed to be several more additions until he has finished making is point altogether. In this part, he delves in the Mario series and having to save Princess Peach in the original Super Mario Bros. I have taken his thoughts, combined with my own, and applied it to the Zelda franchise. Take the jump inside and enjoy the ride. (Read more)
