The Legend of Zelda Message Board older than one year ago

#thelegendofzelda The Legend of Zelda is a series that, over the years, has taken on a life of its own, developing a tone and depth to its universe not really present in any single game. More »

#thelegendofzelda I'm one of the biggest Zelda fanatics around. So imagine my excitement when my Lords and Masters here at Kotaku said it would be a good idea for me to visit the 25th Anniversary display celebrating The Legend of Zelda that Nintendo World recently set up. More »

#lisafoiles Many video games turning twenty-five this year could set themselves on a podium and brag until their throats are sore. "Hey, I'm Castlevania and I've released over 30 games in the last quarter-century. What have you done?" More »

#thelegendofzelda High-end collectible creator First 4 Figures continues its love affair with Zelda fans' money with its most expensive statue yet, the Twilight Princess Link on Epona statue. More »

#speakuponkotaku Any activity you perform often enough has a tendency to invade your nightmares, even video games. In today's Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter GiantBoyDetective shares his Zelda-fueled nightmare, and you share your own. More »

#thelegendofzelda Despite being developed entirely by Japanese men and women, The Legend of Zelda has always had a more Western aesthetic. Something this wonderful fan art seeks to address. More »

#iam8bit Four Roombas swept across the floor at this year's SUPER iam8bit art show, recreations of the most memorable low-ranking bad guys from Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda. Thanks to iam8bit, you can now see those Nintendo-fied Roombas in video action. More »

#papercraft Requiring more than 200 pages, 12 hours of work per day for a solid month, and what must have been gallons of printer ink, is this jaw-dropping life-size papercraft Link that the artist Michaela M. completed this week. Yes, she has a template for those with the time and the patience to try to re-create her masterpiece. More »

#thelegendofzelda Self-preservation isn't the only reason for Link to slice-and-dice the creatures of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. He can also harvest their oddly-shaped innards to upgrade his gear. I've always wanted a sword with a spleen. More »

#thelegendofzelda While the number three will always hold a special place in the Triforce-powered Legend of Zelda series, Link's next adventure embraces a much larger lucky number to describe the sheer scope and size of the biggest Wii game yet. More »

#toys There aren't any official Legend of Zelda action figures. Haven't been for a very, very long time. Going by the quality of this custom piece, maybe it's time for that to change. More »

#zelda This year marks the 25th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda. To celebrate, Nintendo isn't giving Zelda or Link presents. It's giving you one. More »

#art Artist Ty Lettau combines two (well, four) of my favourite things in these pieces: classic Nintendo characters and plastic model kits. More »

He took the sword, but it seems it really was too dangerous for Eiji Aonuma to go alone in the original Legend of Zelda for NES. The Zelda director and producer recently admitted in an interview with Game Informer that, despite multiple attempts, Link's first adventure was too much for him to handle...

#zelda If you've ever wondered why recent Zelda games have been a little easier than they used to be, consider the man in charge of the series, Eiji Aonuma. Who has never finished the first Zelda. More »

#cosplay Gamescom 2011 may have been overcrowded today, but not with people dressed as video game, anime and comic book characters. While European cosplayers did represent at Gamescom, they did so in the corners of the Cologne Messe. More »

#thelegendofzelda It's the 25th Anniversary of The Legend of Zelda and to celebrate Nintendo is letting Gamescom fans create their own fan birthday cards for the franchise. More »

#thelegendofzelda It would have been a blue Christmas without a new Zelda title under our Christmas Wii, but Nintendo comes through in the nick of the time, announcing a November 20 release date for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. More »

#culture The hate of fake games and fake gamers goes back at least to 1988. More »

#zelda Artist Jude Buffum has come up with this impressive (and informative!) piece called Magna Arbor Vitae Deku. It's essentially a biology chart of the Zelda universe. More »

#thelegendofzelda Nintendo made one live action movie, the Super Mario Bros. flick. It sucked. That isn't stopping Zelda designer Eiji Aonuma from fantasizing about making an epic motion picture with everyone's favorite green-hatted hero. More »

#zelda *crag*in Ganondorf, always kidnapping Zelda. But he's not such a bad guy. Well, no, he is, but he's actually the sensitive type. You know, singing, tap dancing, the works. More »

#fanart Inspired by The Legend of Zelda and Gustav Klimt's work, Rich Pellegrino created this amazing painting for the August 11th "SUPER IAM8BIT" show in Los Angeles, Ca (7PM to 11PM). Check out the design process at his blog. More »

#thelegendofzelda In case you've been waiting patiently for The Legend of Zelda Symphony Concert, good news! You'll only have to keep waiting until October...unless you're not in L.A. More »

#totalrecall It's one of the most iconic designs in the history of video games: three golden triangles combined to form a single larger one. The Triforce. The object that lies at the heart of The Legend of Zelda. More »

#video European geeks and gamers can wield a man-sized sword with the best of them. They look pretty sharp in a Zelda outfit. And they may be at their best when... everything they're doing... is happening... in... slow... motion. More »

#fanart Princess Zelda kicks back to relax in R.J. Palmer's new fan art commission. Follow this artist here on Tumblr to check out more of their work. More »

#watchthis Link is the strong, but silent type. Really, really silent. Like, he doesn't talk. Sometimes that's a good thing, because he's not blabbering on about stupid thing. Sometimes, it's really bad. More »

#wiiu Nintendo closed its E3 reveal of Wii U, its new console, with a real-time demonstration of a Legend of Zelda concept, in high definition (screenshot above). Don't get your hopes up that it's what the final game will in fact look like. Nintendo could go in a completely different visual direction. Why would they do something like that? Because they've done it before. More »
