When you write an article asking for a key element to be removed from the Zelda series, you're pretty stupid if you're not expecting some controversy. Trust me, we know here at Zelda Informer because we've seen it done, thanks to Nathan's 'Ganondorf - Goodnight Sweet Prince' and 'Long Live the Triforce... Or Not'. Interestingly, in games such as Majora's Mask and Spirit Tracks we've played great Zelda titles featuring neither of these two key elements. I mean, considering the series is called 'The Legend of Zelda', potentially the only necessary element is a Zelda. So when some guy comes along and starts making a claim that the Zelda series could survive without Link, you've got something interesting to look at...or something utterly ridiculous....

The official Legend of Neil facebook page has been updating the latest status of development for season three and have also hinted at a release date recently. They plan on releasing the third season sometime this summer or possibly this fall, but pre-winter for sure. Here’s an excerpt : Vague release date: This summer-ish. Maybe fall? [...]

The folks over at The Kartel have put together a list of the wackiest video game sidekicks that we didn’t care about until now. Several Nintendo characters made the list including Waluigi from the Super Mario Bros series, Slippy Toad from Star Fox, and Magikarp from Pokemon. However, the character we care about that made [...]

Ganon, or Ganondorf -depending on which game you're playing - is by far the most memorable villain in the entire Legend of Zelda franchise. He follows the trend of being incredibly nasty in both plot and gameplay , offering one of the most satisfying fights in the entire series. His evolution from pig-faced pixel beast into the monstrous, powerful King of Darkness that we face in the more recent titles makes him a rather interesting character. I'd like to think that his ability to worm out of the Sage's seal was due to more than a creativity drought on the part of Miyamoto. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt. 411 Mania has Ganondorf listed as #5 on their top 10 Video Game Villains list. While I don't disagree with the placement of Ganondorf, it does seem odd that Bowser only chimes in at #10. We all needed another list to tell us what is the best right? That's what I thought! You can check out the rest of the list over at 411 Mania. ...

The shield is often seen as a pointless and trivial items in the Legend of Zelda series. This is especially true for the 2D games in which the shield must actually be equipped in one of the two item slots. So this zelda web comic is made to point out how vital the shield actually [...]

As far as the games industry is concerned, the Nintendo Wii has the highest brand value of them all as the DS has dipped a little. PS3 has overtaken Xbox 360 now as the PS3 has been gaining brand value. On an overall chart of those brands Nintendo comes out at 32nd and Sony is [...]

This fun little game takes the original Super Mario Bros. and combines it with the classic gameplay of some of the most popular NES characters ever created, including our favorite hero Link. When playing the game as Link, the mushroom gives him the white tunic while a fire flower gives him the ability to shoot is laser sword. Alternatively you can also throw your boomerang to stun enemies, as well as do a upward and downward thrust. Some of my personal favorites in the game include Megaman and Samus, who have slightly similar play styles with some pretty sweet extras. The only real question that remains is why has it taken it this long for a fan to pull this together? You can check out the game for yourself over at NewGrounds....

GoNintendo has learned that the official date for Nintendo’s 2010 E3 media briefing is June 15th. Although no specific time was given, they speculate that they will present sometime before Sony’s showing which is later that day. If past E3s are any indication, you’ll probably want to wake up early (or not go to sleep!) Personally, [...]

All that we have seen thus far from Zelda Wii is a piece of concept artwork, and that was almost one year ago. Yet even with the very little knowledge we have about the game, fans over at our Zelda Forums are already speculating as to where they want Zelda Wii to fit within the [...]
