It’s no secret that some Legend of Zelda fans are a bit crazier than others. Heck, I think even myself, shelling out over $600 just to be able to play the 3 Zelda CD-i games was a bit crazy. Sometimes that line of craziness is simply just strange. There are tons of Zelda collectibles that [...]

Above is a snapshot of our brand new E3 2011 section, which will feature all of our E3 coverage in one place! From trailers and news to editorials, we'll have it all covered in one area! Of course you can still enjoy our coverage in the classic way through our main page, but I think everyone would agree a centralized page will help you sort through the flurry! The page may see a few upgrades before the big show, but for now it has all of our Pre E3 coverage sifting through it, and boy is there a lot of it! Just imagine what this place is going to be like in just a little over a week's time! Remember, Zelda Informer will have live reports straight from the show floor and Nintendo presser, including a live blog of the conference itself as well as all the coverage you could hope for. We'll be holding a special Q and A session with Alex Plant shortly after the event where you will be able to ask him about anything he experienced at E3. ...

For some completely unfounded reason, water levels of games tend to be the most hated. People say they are often the most difficult and have fiddly controls. On the contrary, water levels are some of my favorite as well as many other people's as well. Destructoid has just recently released their Top Ten Underwater levels in gaming, of which The Great Bay Temple from Majora's Mask comes in at number 10. Come on inside for the full list, and those opinions that always invading your news posts....

Some of you may remember Jarvis, others maybe not, but he is our resident YouTube video man who handles our Lets Play series for The Wind Waker. He has decided to start a new series exclusive to us that involves essentially an early Lets Play introduction to several non Zelda Nintendo classics. Donkey Kong Country is one of the all time greatest games ever to be made in my opinion. To understand it's greatness, one just has to look into the recently released Donkey Kong Country Returns to quickly see a ton of influence from the original. This is back during what is often referred to as Rare's Golden Age. One can really only hope that Rare eventually returns to Nintendo and that the Gold Age can have a second act. While it's unlikely due to present contract situations, it's still possible. Either way, enjoy the feature and feel free to suggest some more classics to do these 20 minute intros to in the comments!...

This is a classic article revival, and the first article written by the site's principal owner, Nathanial Rumphol-Janc. It is a topic worth bringing up again in the wake of Skyward Sword's release later this year. It's been a long and storied road for the antagonist of eight Zelda titles to date. He's captured Princess Zelda many a time, been longing for the triforce since 1986, and always loses in the end to a the almighty hero... Link. He helped influence the spread of the twilight realm in Twilight Princess, the flooding of Hyrule in The Wind Waker and Phantom Hourglass, and always seems to convince a loyal minion to bring him back from the clutches of eternal damnation. Yet, despite all this, it's time for him to simply say goodbye....

Oh Square Enix, someone must of gotten in trouble. The artwork to the left was unveiled on Facebook for a few hours last week before quickly being removed and all mentioning of "Heroes of Ruin" vanished. Apparently, they were not ready to actually unveil the game and someone jumped the gun. One assumes the title is meant to be unveiled at E3 and will likely contain some sort of trailer. Apparently Nintendo Power will be shedding some light onto what exactly this game is in the near future (as in, likely next month's Nintendo Power), but supposedly there are some details already leaked out. More after the jump....

Resident Evil: Mercenaries is not just one of the most graphically pleasing games coming out on the 3DS (a game that truly looks better than anything the Wii has), it's also one of the most anticipated. No, that isn't just because it has a M rating and features lots of killing. Simply put, Resident Evil is a great series in general, and we all remember Resident Evil 4 fondly on the Gamecube. One of the greatest games ever created, especially for it's genre. Thanks to Capcom's Press Site, along with some findings from Wiiz, we're more than happy to present you some new screenshots and a brand new trailer after the jump!...

The folks over at Destructoid have recently posed the question of whether or not the Legend of Zelda series needs an overhaul… and my answer is no. Looking at the series, we’ve seen so many drastically different games, yet they all seem very Zelda-like. I think many Zelda fans thought in late 2006 after Twilight [...]

Okay, so obviously this didn't turn out to be a true "Enemy of the Week" feature - E3 planning and a lot of our super-secret upcoming site content just keeps getting in the way - but I wasn't about to let this feature die! Today I'll be covering probably the most interesting enemy to come out of either the E3 2010 Skyward Sword demo or the GDC 2011 trailer: the Stalfos. See how this enemy has evolved over the years, as well as how this particular incarnation is a throwback to olden times, after the jump....

Part 3 of The Amazing BrandO’s musical journey through the Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past is now available. In case you’ve missed any of them, the First Episode covered The Secret Passage at the start of the game, while the Second Episode focused on Link’s adventure through Hyrule Castle. In this third [...]
