The Legend of Zelda Message Board older than one year ago

#zelda Come on, be honest. Someone, somewhere along the line would find a way to screw everything up. So these make-believe movie posters are probably as good as we're ever going to get! More »

#zelda So Nintendo has, more or less, settled on some semblance of an official timeline for the Legend of Zelda series. You may have thoughts/concerns about this. You also probably don't have as many as reader Zach does, though. More »

#soulcalibur Hey, look! It's Link—who starred in the GameCube version of SoulCalibur II—making a triumphant return to the Stage of History along with that girl he's always having to rescue. The folks at NowGamer made crafted Nintendo's iconic maiden-and-warrior pair with the character creator in Namco's just-released fighting game, and then have Princess Zelda and her eternal savior Link go toe-to-toe. Zelda's based off of new character Viola and Link is patterned after the game's cover boy Patroklos. The fight's even for a while but Zelda handily kicks Link's ass. There's only one thing to say about that: "Well, excuuuuse me, Princess!" More »

#zelda Canadian animator Joel Furtado wants to see Nintendo make a sequel to Wind Waker. In HD. Since they're likely to do no such thing, he went and made his own trailer for the dream project. More »

#zelda Artist Dean Walton has put together these wonderful mock vintage travel posters, advertising the land of Hyrule (specifically, its Ocarina of Time incarnation) as a travel destination. More »

#zelda Before we posted too many pictures of cakes, we used to post too many pictures of stupid license plates. For one day only, I'm bringing that back, because, yeah. This is too good. More »

#zelda Platinumfungi grew up playing The Legend of Zelda and decided the best way to say thanks was with a NES case mod and this lovely video. More »

#art What you're looking at is obviously not the official map of The Legend of Zelda; it's what The Legend of Zelda's map looks like to themadjuggler, one of the many contributors to Mapstalgia, a website dedicated to reproducing video game maps from memory. More »

#totalrecall In 1988, Milton Bradley released a Legend of Zelda board game. Awesomely, it wasn't a lazy conversion of an existing game like we see now, with Nintendo Monopoly or Metal Gear Risk. It was a game specifically tailored for Zelda. More »

#zelda When the "official" timeline for The Legend of Zelda series was first published in a Japanese book, I warned you. More »

#zelda It's 2012, which means that it's not even The Legend of Zelda's 25th Anniversary any more. But that's not stopping Nintendo from extending the tour that celebrates the music of their long-lived adventure RPG franchise. More »

#zelda Nintendo recently released an official timeline for The Legend of Zelda series, and despite providing closure for some, it provided problems for others. For the latter, here is a much more plausible fix. More »

#gameclub Welcome back to the Kotaku Game Club. Today we're wrapping up our discussion series on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, and 2011. Since we've all (hopefully) completed the game, let's talk about the game's final dungeons and the ending. More »

#toys While we're still waiting for proper, new Zelda action figures, Japan keeps getting Gashapon (capsule toy) pieces, continuing with this new line celebrating three very distinct eras of the franchise. More »

- figures focus in on three specific games
- Ocarina of Time, Phantom Hourglass, Skyward Sword
- due out in Japan late June
- roughly $40

#zelda Marian von Charlottenburg had this badass Zelda tattoo done in Hamburg, Germany. Nice to see someone take the normally-clean heraldic image and mess it up a bunch. More »

#zelda While we were able last week to bring you the official Zelda timeline, courtesy of the series' new art book, it was only the barest of structures, with just game names in chronological order. Now that the book has been out for a few days, more comprehensive translations are available. More »

#zelda Since the series began, Nintendo has been coy on whether there's an official timeline for The Legend of Zelda. They've said there is one, locked away in Nintendo HQ, but the fact it's never been shared - and that each game seems so wildly different from the rest - has long clouded the topic. More »

#theelderscrolls Let's say you want to make your Skyrim character look really different, but don't want to have he/she looking like Lightning out of Final Fantasy XIII. You could always make them look like Link instead! More »

#zelda The upcoming Legend of Zelda art book, Hyrule Historia, has so far only been confirmed for a Japanese release. Since that means most of you won't be looking at it at all, it won't hurt to take a peek at a few more of its pages, especially ones that show the progression of Link and Zelda from their 1986 designs to today. More »

#lego Back in the mists of time, before man walked the internet, I wrote a story about a LEGO Zelda movie a guy made. It was pretty great! More »

#fanart The Legend of Zelda is set in idyllic Hyrule. But what if things in Hyrule weren't so pastoral? What if Zelda was set in the future and all of Hyrule had gone to shit? More »

#gameclub Welcome to the second week of the Kotaku Game Club's series on The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. This week, we're talking about the events from where we left off last week, the end of the Earth Shrine up through the Ancient Cistern dungeon. More »

#zelda As part of the franchise's 25th birthday celebrations, Nintendo has decided to release a nice big art book for The Legend of Zelda fans. More »

#zelda In 2006, what were you doing? I was working at Kotaku. Derek was thinking about how he could get the greatest Link statue to ever grace this spinning blue ball we call Earth. If you ask me, he did just that. More »

#thelegendofzelda The Legend of Zelda is one the most successful video game franchises to ver come from Japan. It's been mostly made by Nintendo studios in Kyoto, with some added efforts by Capcom, which is based in Osaka. More »

#speakuponkotaku It's a delicate subject but one that will inevitably come up for any parent, and you've got to be prepared. In this age of bright and shiny high definition games, how can we force our children to play through the games we grew up on first? This is commenter Balmung's question in today's Speak Up on Kotaku. Now eat your video games, kids. More »
