YouTuber xMatthew13 is in the process of making a Legend of Zelda Fan Film titled The Legend of the Hero of Time. Like many of these undertakings, I’m not sure how far along the film will actually get… but thus far a video has released highlighting the backstory of the film. The team does have [...]

Zelda Dungeon is switching its comment system from IntenseDebate to Disqus. We have been debating this change for a long time within our staff, and we finally came to the conclusion that Disqus will best serve our needs as a growing site and community. To find out more about why we changed and how you [...]

Yesterday we heard that we should stay tuned for future announcements about the Symphony of the Goddesses Tour, but we didn’t know it would be this fast! In a press release put out by the tour team, several new venues were announced including Seattle, San Francisco, Montreal, Austin, and Toronto. There is still no international [...]

Skyward Sword is filled with references to pretty much every single other Zelda game in the series. We obviously know that Skyward Sword is a distant prequel to Ocarina of Time, but there’s also a couple of Easter Eggs to be found in Skyward Sword connecting it to Ocarina of Time. Note, this will contain [...]

The official website for The Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses tour has been updated with a more complete schedule than the one we posted yesterday. In addition, as of this morning, and continuing throughout the day, tickets for most of the venues are now on sale via Ticketmaster or through local box office. Jump inside for the details ...

We previously reported on the first two episodes of The Hero of Hyrule a couple weeks back and now the third video has surfaced. However, I have to warn you that this video does contain some religious material, so you might want to skip it if you’d like. For those of you a bit unfamiliar [...]

2011 is going to be one hard act to follow. While 2012 may be no 2011, there is still plenty for us Nintendo gamers to come this year. We've got the launch of Nintendo's next generation console, not to mention the 3DS really coming into its stride. While I'm more excited for films in 2012 - namely The Hobbit Part One, although the Dark Knight Rises is semi-exciting and it will be interesting to see what becomes of the Lost Symbol with Dan Brown at the script's helm - let's not downplay gaming in 2012. There is plenty to look forward to, and despite what else we do, gaming is likely - as always - to end up being that hobby that occupies most of our free time. It seems to be becoming one of our yearly traditions to look back at the best of the last year, and then look ahead to what we're anticipating, so let's get into it. 3DS, Wii U, Wii, DS - this is what we're anticipating in 2012....

We have recently heard of newly announced tour dates for the the Legend of Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses tour. Rinael over at the History of Hyrule Forums recently contacted the Symphony tour to see if there was any word on whether or not the tour was coming to Europe for any dates. Here is [...]

Like, OK. I don't mean to be a braggart or a blowhard, but this latest bit of most welcome news is a delicious bit of "I told you so." (Well, I and other game journalists who aren't ridiculous sensationalists, but you know) Anyways, Nintendo has announced that in its first year, the 3DS has not only outsold the best-selling portable console of all time, but also the best-selling home console of all time (that'd be the DS and the Wii, FYI). In the US alone, the 3DS has sold 4 million units since releasing in March. Comparatively, the Wii sold about 6.27 million over the course of twelve months - but remember that the 3DS has only been out for nine months, and has outpaced the Wii in a similar timeframe. Achieving those kind of numbers might have been a bit more hard-scrabble than it has seemed for Nintendo in the past, but the accomplishment is just as impressive all the same. And ultimately, I'd argue, what's good for Nintendo and Nintendo handhelds is, in essence, good for gaming in general....

Well this doesn't usually happen. It seems like, right from the get-go of the development of a new Zelda title, Nintendo is already restricting their freedom in crafting a game world for a future game in the series. This comes as a surprise, to me, at least, because Nintendo doesn't usually like to create boundaries for where exactly a game in the series will fall in the timeline, or how the game they're working on will relate to the other games. The underlying gameplay structure has always determined the nature of the game world, and the resulting story elements associated with it. Unarguably however, series director Eiji Aonuma's reasoning for not foreseeing a possible Skyward Sword sequel/prequel is, well, reasonable. We've got the interview quote inside....
