The Legend of Zelda Message Board older than one year ago

#londonolympics It's been a strange but wonderful week for my sister, Elsa García. Of course there is the excitement of being in London and competing in the Olympic Games, and representing our country, Mexico. And then there was the unexpected reaction to her choice of music in competition. You see, my sister is the gymnast who performed to The Legend of Zelda's theme on Wednesday. More »

#thelegendofzelda Mexican gymnast Elsa Garcia Rodriguez Blancas did her Olympic qualification routine to an arrangement of music from The Legend of Zelda. Specifically, an arrangement by violinist Lindsey Stirling. More »

#thelegendofzelda This pretty much had to happen. If this irresistible crossover doesn't become the best-selling t-shirt in TeeFury history then everything I believe in and hold dear is a lie. More »

#speakuponkotaku In today's completely insane edition of Speak Up on Kotaku, commenter MSumm rages over the difficulty of The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask and then begs to be hit harder. More »

#nintendo Old school action role-playing meets newfangled dungeon crawler in this week's Nintendo download, as a free demo for Square Enix's Heroes of Ruin goes head-to-head with one of Nintendo's most legendary games. More »

#zelda Cole Bradburn is expecting a son. And when his new, little hero arrives, he'll have a Legend of Zelda nursery waiting for him. More »

#fathersday A great dad makes sure his son is better than he was. If you measure fatherhood by the accomplishments of offspring, then I've got substantial evidence that I'm the world's best dad. Well, one of the best, at least. Outside of maybe George H.W. Bush or Archie Manning. My evidence: I coached my 5-year-old son, Luke, through the OG 1986 The Legend of Zelda. We teamed up to curb-stomp one of the all-time bullies of gamedom, my arm around Luke's shoulder, barking Mickey Goldmill-like direction as he dutifully freed the tiny version of Hyrule downloaded on his 3DS.

#nsfw OK, let's get something straight first. Many of you know I live in the Eugene, Ore. area. Longtime readers remember I got bored and trolled the Craigslist personals in this 2009 post. But I swear to crap I am not the weirdo who posted this. More »

#thelegendofzelda Charles Schulz's Peanuts comic strips stand as one of the most brilliant artistic achievements of the 20th Century. You could say the same about The Legend of Zelda video games. More »

#zelda Japan's King of Games are one of the finest video game clothing merchants on the planet. Anyone who's owned one of their shirts, or even been around one, know they ooze quality, from the fancy boxes they ship in to the durability of the prints. More »

#watchthis Normally comedy team Mega64 deploys just one of its members into public to act as a video game character. For The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword they sent two: one to be Link, the other to control Link. More »

#watchthis Hey! Listen! Watch this! More »

#zelda The last time I sat down to get through Ocarina of Time, around five years ago, it took me days. And that's with hindsight, and GameFAQs, backing me up. More »

#thelegendofzelda It's been a long time since Shigeru Miyamoto's directly worked on a Legend of Zelda game. 1991, to be exact. That's the year that the classic A Link to the Past hit the SNES. Now, recent remarks from Nintendo's creative leader make it sound like he'd be up for revisiting that chapter of Link's video game life. More »

#zelda A year ago, Swiss artist Nelde released some images of an idea for a deck of Zelda playing cards. They were, given the template, almost perfect. More »

Ah, the changes that games go through from conception to final release. The Legend of Zelda is no exception. If you'd like to see some of the things that changed while the game was in development, hit up the feature below.

#zelda He's got enough to worry about without you banging on about saving this, or doing that, or going wherever. More »

#zelda I found Tevis Thomson's lengthy critique chronicling the decline and fall of the Legend of Zelda franchise to be very convincing. That doesn't quite diminish my enjoyment of more recent Zelda games, but then, I'm no Zelda super-fan. But it was hard to argue with his points about how the series has changed and in his eyes gone astray. More »

#zelda Dave Rapoza's Crimson Daggers (who we last saw taking on Gauntlet) has held another redesign competition, this time tasking artists with drawing alternate cover art for The Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker. More »

#thelegendofzelda Zelda II: The Adventure of Link briefly exchanged the series' fairy-based healing mechanics with an going into a house with a strange woman and coming out healed feature. I've always assumed the worst. Dorkly does too, only they make it awkward for everyone. More »

#watchthis I don't know how many Zelda fans actually say any of this, but this Shit Zelda Fans Say video is kind of amusing if only because it's so damn specific. More »

#zelda Last Year, Japanese artist ag+ put together one of the most amazing pieces of fan art the world has ever seen. More »

#casemodoftheweek You've seen his classic Final Fantasy-inspired PC cases. Now Richard "8-Bit Builder" Clinton upgrades to 16-bit with his amazing PC case rendition of Link from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. How does he do it? Watch the video and find out. More »

#zelda First Mega Man, then Street Fighter...there's a video game collection arms race going on, and The Legend of Zelda just joined in. More »

#watchthis This time-lapsed video of YouTube user thorkon's Zelda-themed building blocks is truly awesome, the type of intricate creation that must have taken many, many hours to put together. More »

#zelda Late in the original Zelda's second quest, I got stuck. I couldn't find the relocated and very well-hidden eighth dungeon. Then one night I had a dream in which I took a map of Hyrule and drew large circles around the other seven dungeons. Somehow I had figured that dungeons were probably not right beside each other, and so by sectioning off portions of the map, I could better find the missing dungeon in the blank areas. I woke up, drew the circles, found the dungeon. Zelda possessed me, and in those pre-internet, pre-FAQ days, my mind worked on it even while I slept. More »

#toys While there have been a few lines of gashapon pieces coming out of Japan, there hasn't been a proper action figure from the Legend of Zelda series for years. Until now! More »
