Legend of Zelda News

Zelda creator, Shigeru Miyamoto, has stated that he would like to see a new Legend of Zelda game that uses the same style of A Link to the Past. Originally released on the SNES, Miyamoto has recently been on the record stating that he would like to recreate its 2D visuals into 3D. When Miyamoto was asked if the intention was still there he indicated that perhaps there was other approaches he would... 

Kid Icarus Uprising was recently released and with it came several cool Easter Eggs. Nintendo games always seem to reference one another in some form or another and this one is no different. In Kid Icarus Uprising there are 2 different Zelda references that have been spotted so far. The first reference is the chime that is played when solving a puzzle in the Wish Seed Level. After completing a puzzle... 

We have teamed up with STL Ocarina to host a free Zelda Ocarina giveaway. They have been nice enough to provide me with a free 12 hole Tenor Ocarina that is based off the one from Ocarina of Time. To enter into the promotion you must simply click this link and follow the simple instructions. The deadline to enter is the last day of March so you better be quick.  

Virtual Console. Those 2 words made the Wii worth purchasing. I can play a myriad of old-school titles with the click of my Wii remote. Sadly, there have been too few updates with sub-par titles. I feel that Nintendo has all but let the Wii virtual console die. I am OK with that actually. Enter the WiiU eShop, virtual console, whatever they want to call it. WiiU isn’t going to be able to play... 

Assassins Creed 3 coming to WiiU. It’s also coming to Xbox360 and PS3. Microsoft has clearly indicated that they are not announcing a new Xbox at this year’s E3, same goes for Sony. This leads me to believe that a lot of the latest and greatest games will be all all 3 platforms. What would you like to see done differently with WiiU versions? I know we’re in for a surprise at E3. Studios... 

Let’s talk WiiU! In the first of several short WiiU articles, I’ll write about a topic related to WiiU that’s rattling around in my brain and ask for your comments. Nintendo has a history of innovation that others then try to copy (Move anyone?). Motion gaming has caught on, and as The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword proved, it works and it works well. My question to you is, will Nintendo... 

With WiiU coming this year and the 3DS killing the marketplace, there’s bound to be talk of Zelda. So what’s been going on? Well, we had the excellent remake of Ocarina of Time for the 3DS, talks of a NEW Zelda for 3DS and all kinds of rumors of a Majora’s Mask remake. This is all well and good because what really makes news is the Zelda HD Experience from 2011’s E3 presentation and 2012’s... 

In 2011, Nintendo released more Zelda games (remakes and new releases) than any other year to coincide with the series’ 25th anniversary. This was definitely an exception to the usual release cycle for both console and handheld Zelda games which we’ll now take a look at to see when we might see a new Zelda game release on the 3DS. Handheld games by year Link’s Awakening (1993) Oracle... 

As we all know, Link made a special appearance in Soul Calibur a few years ago on the Nintendo Game Cube. Link was personally my favorite character to play as and his presence made the game so much more fun. That is why this bit of news was exciting for me. While this is by no means official, some fans were able to recreate Link and Zelda both for the latest Soul Calibur V. This was done using the... 

It appears that Nintendo may have finalized the tour dates and locations for the Legend of Zelda Symphony Tour. We have previously reported on most of these locations and dates, but this new update to the official tour website seems to suggest that there will be no new additions. If you live anywhere near one of the tour locations than I highly suggest ordering a ticket. They will sell out fast and...
