Here's a topic of discussion we haven't opened for awhile, and given the confirmation of Skyward Sword as the first game in the timeline, before even Ocarina of Time it's one that I think is long overdue. There are probably as many theories about how the series' overarching storyline progresses as there are fans, but I want to focus mostly on the core questions: what order do you think the games fall in and how do you fill in the gaps in the story? We've had a number of interesting timeline debates over the years and they've produced a number of major theories. Check inside for an overview of the history of the timeline discussion at ZI....

Recently Game Informer staged "The Great Zelda Debate", a podcast feature that addressed the age-old question: which Zelda game is the best of the series? Now IGN's getting in on the action with their Greatest Legend of Zelda Game Tournament - and this time you get to participate. Vote in a series of brackets to decide which games will move on to the next round. I've already cast my votes, and personally I think it's a little cheap that they gave Ocarina of Time and A Link to the Past an unfair edge by pitting them against two of the CD-i games, but that's just me. Which games will you vote for? And more importantly, with all the attention given to this topic lately, one has to wonder: will Zelda Informer do something similar? You'll just have to wait and see. For now, though, you can check out the Round 1 brackets after the jump. Source: IGN...

Twilight Princess is a game loved by many fans of the Legend of Zelda series. It features an in-depth story which dives into the lives of the characters, creating plot twists, foreshadowing, etc. Looking at it from a literature perspective, the story of Twilight Princess also presents an overarching theme that pertains to the game, [...]

The ending sequence to Ocarina of Time can be described with many words. Epic, nostalgic, climactic, accomplished and emotional. For the theorist, words like perplexing, confusing and intriguing will also be on the list. There are all of the subtleties that piece together the split timeline, but perhaps nothing is left quite as unexplained as the penultimate scene of Navi's departure. Zelda fans have long been questioning the significance of the moment, and although very few people were sad to see Navi go, many still want to know why she left. This article suggests one possibility. You may or may not be familiar with a theory on the Temple of Light, which ultimately suggests that the window in the Temple of Time where Navi flies off to is a gateway to the Temple of Light, and therefore, the Sacred Realm. Read "Search for the Temple of Light" for a more detailed explanation. Given the common sense that we wouldn't expect Navi to fly through a glass window, the Sacred Realm theory has weight. The question that this raises is why does Navi go to the Sacred Realm. My suggestion is that she is only going back to where she...

While we are busy throwing around our "own" Top 100 Moments in Zelda, it doesn't stop the rest of the internet from sharing some of their Favorites. Level is a series at GameTrailers that features some of the best (and worst) moments in the top games ever made. Twilight Princess may not be your personal favorite game (or maybe it is!), but it's still one of the better games to come out in the last decade. Snowpeak Ruins was definitely a dungeon idea that was completely unique for the series with it's underlaying secondary goals of at first curing a poor yeti, to cleansing the evil out of her and reuniting lovers. In a way it was almost a small peak back in time to when Majora's Mask gave out a lot of meaningful stories through side characters. Almost....

Getting the boss key in the Arbiters Grounds is really simple after acquiring the spinner item. However if you get lost or find that navigating through the grounds is tricky with the Spinner than we have the video for you.If you like this video or foun...

Heather from St. Louis is one hell of a skilled Ocarina player. Her YouTube channel has near 17,000 subscribers and it is no wonder once you've seen one of her videos. There are a wealth of gaming songs, of course including plenty of Zelda. She doesn't play just the usuals though. There are videos of Sheik's theme, Lake Hylia, and plenty more to get you giddy. The Pokemon classic "Lugia's Theme" is another great tune that she pulls off perfectly. Personally, I'm still listening to her music, because it is fantastic. Not to mention seeing her collection of Ocarinas ranging from Ocarina of Time replicas to Hylian Sheild designs. Be sure to check her out, and if you enjoy it as much as I do, then do not fear. You can purchase her CD "Echoes of Gerudo Valley (Music from "The Legend of Zelda" On Ocarina)" from iTunes. Not only that, but in support of her album she is doing a live online Ocarina music concert on Saturday May 7 at 6pm Central Standard Time. You can view it at www.ustream.tv/channel/stlocarina. Jump inside for a video sample and the video about the concert. Expect me to remind you all...

Over at GameTrailers, they’ve released a new video through their “Level” program that features the Twilight Princess dungeon, Snowpeak Ruins. Its an interesting video that brings up some points and observations that they have seen about the difficulty, scenery, enemies, puzzles, items, and a few other things within the dungeon. You might see some things [...]

Have you ever checked out our Facebook page? To be perfectly honest, we haven't really payed that much attention to it in the past. Currently we have 1698 fans that get every one of our main page news and article posts in their Facebook wall feed.

Well, new daily Facebook exclusive updates, Zelda quotes, memories, moments, pictures - and most attractively of all - some giveaways! When we reach 2000 Facebook fans, or "likes", we will be giving away a copy of Skyward Sword upon release, and then, when we reach 5000 fans we'll be giving away a Nintendo 3DS with a copy of Ocarina of Time 3D.

I don't know if any of you have visited the official Legend of Zelda website recently - honestly I don't think I could blame you if you hadn't, since all they've added to it in the past year and a half is a redirect link to the Ocarina of Time 3D info page - but, quite frankly, it sucks. It's so bad, in fact, that its very existence has become something of an inside joke among Zelda fans. If you've ever browsed the "Zelda Encyclopedia" they have up there, you know what I'm talking about, from its embarrassing typos to blatant inaccuracies. And while there's been a recent torrent of information about the Ocarina of Time remake recently, none of it is actually reflected in any way on the site. How is it that humble indie sites like Zelda Informer can keep their audience better-informed than their own channels can? The answer, my friends, is of course: passion....
