Legend of Zelda

Trailer for the John Hughes-Legend of Zelda Movie [Video]

You know that back when you were playing The Legend of Zelda, you wondered, “What was really going on with Link? And Zelda?

Twelve Years Later, Nintendo Will Fix the Annoying Water Temple in 3DS Zelda

The central tenet of good game design is ‘Don’t make it tedious,’ and on that score, the Water Temple from 1998′s Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was not a success.

New Zelda Game Confirmed to Release In 2010

Nintendo held its Q1 Media Summit on Wednesday, and, while it announced release dates for Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Metroid: Other M, it remained mum on one of its other beloved franchises: Legend of Zelda.

In an interview with Cammie Dunaway, the executive vice president of Nintendo of America, Wired has managed to confirm that a new Legend of Zelda will be coming out this year, thus completing a powerful three sided something-or-other of gaming bliss.

Hmm. There’s something else Zelda-related that’s triangular, isn’t there? Arg. We just can’t remember.

Anyway, Wired’s Chris Kholer admits that he owes somebody a steak dinner.
