The timeline of the Zelda series has always been a hot topic of debate. Ambiguous clues are often left in Zelda games that refer to other games in the series, and developers claim something different about the timeline every time they sit down for an interview.

That is why it is interesting to hear a theory from someone with the unique perspective of being both a game developer and a long-time Zelda theorist. The Missing Link, former webmaster of Zelda Blog, has written an article explaining his thoughts on the matter.

Another day, another awesome wallpaper submission – this time by a person going by T.H.B., who gathered together the entire set of images from The Wind Waker’s introduction sequence and put them into a stylish, stone-like image for your desktop. You can find it below and in ZU’s Wallpapers section.

Our Interactive Story section has been updated with a brand new story, entitled Focus of Power.

The current plot is that the Triforce is acting up and has trapped Link (along with the royal family and the leaders of all the major races of Hyrule) inside Hyrule Castle. How will Link deal with this potentially disastrous situation? You decide.

Once again, we have updated our Spirit Tracks Characters and Items/Equipment pages to reflect the new information we have been given, and our Spirit Tracks Gallery has been updated with the new official art.

Next up are our Enemies and Bosses pages, which should be up-to-date by the end of the week.

Well, after a week of entries, it was time to close down the STLOcarina giveaway and select some winners. We’ve done just that, and the winners have been notified of their winner-ness. Curious who you should be jealous of? Read inside.

For those of you not in the know, Zelda Universe is currently holding a contest in partnership with STLOcarina (markers of fine Zelda replicas) and giving away a bunch of musical instruments. If you haven’t yet entered, all it takes is a comment. The contest will be closed to entries at midnight tonight (EST), so this is your last chance to enter!

We’ll announce the winners tomorrow and contact them via email.

Wow, it’s not often we get to update this section, but it looks like we have! A fine gentleman pointed out that we never had a Big Poes guide up, so esteemed staffer and ZUBC-er Margar took care of it. The guide is now up and ready for use, so if you feel like replaying Ocarina of Time, the Big Poes are waiting for you.

Of course, the guide is also on our Ocarina of Time main page with the rest of our Ocarina of Time information.

The generous folks at STLOcarina have decided to sponsor a Bank of Hyrule contest, and that means we get to have the fun of telling you that we’re holding another Bank of Hyrule contest! So, what are we giving away this time? You probably could have guessed it – a bunch of Zelda ocarinas.

If you haven’t already, check out our review of STLOcarina’s Zelda lineup (posted below), then hit up the read more link on this post to see how you can get your hands on a few of these ocarinas all free-like.

It’s that time of the year. October – when we all decide we’re going to dress up like Link this year but, for some reason, we never seem to find the right materials for the costume. Sure, that fateful day might be a good month away right now, but it’s never too early to get in the spirit. Especially when there’s candy corn involved.

(Note to self… next greatest invention: The candy corn triforce.)

Two new Zelda sites have been added to our affiliates list. The first is The Sacred Realm, which has been exploding with activity lately, and the second is Zelda Chronicles, an old Zelda site which has only recently returned and is now focusing specifically on news.

Yessir, after a (very) long day of waiting, the server migration is complete – Zelda Universe and all of the sites on the server (such as Zelda Wiki.org) are back up and running almost fully. On the Wiki we’ve got a few known issues and we’re working to resolve the immediately. On ZU, the forums aren’t totally up yet – you’ll still get a database error – so I’ll update this post and the Facebook / Twitter pages when the forums are up and running again. UPDATE: The forums are now up and running!

It’s about two years overdue, but ZU finally has its own complete Twilight Princess walkthrough up and running, thanks to one of our newest additions to the Site Staff, Ciroton.

He puts his own unique spin into the guide, and makes it both informative and entertaining, so if  you are stuck at a point in the game you should definitely check it out. The walkthrough can be found here.

Is your desktop feeling lonely? Did the last batch of fan wallpapers not satisfy you? Well, Kris Hickey is here to cure your woes. He’s just submitted a beautiful wallpaper set of his own artwork depicting Link running through a dungeon – created entirely in colored pencil. It comes in most every resolution imaginable, so don’t hold back – just get to downloadin’.

If there’s one thing the Zelda series isn’t short of, it’s typography and fonts. With that in mind, we’ve gathered up a bunch of fonts related to Zelda and Nintendo and put them up for download. You’re probably familiar with a good deal of these fonts, but we hope we’ve found one or two that will surprise you.

Each font has a complete description and a waterfall-style preview. If you’re not sure how to install fonts, there are simple instructions on the page. We hope you enjoy the fonts collection and, as always, if you think we’re missing anything just let us know! For future reference, the Typography and Fonts page is on the left sidebar under Media.
