We fought and battled for nearly one whole month against over a dozen other Nintendo fansites – including many Zelda sites – and often we weren’t sure if Zelda Universe was going to come out on top.
And yet we persevered. We were resilient. And you – our community – spoke loudly with your votes. Now it’s official: ZU reigns supreme as the champion of Zelda (and Nintendo!) fan sites.
This is all thanks to you guys – you who voted and let everyone know that we’re the best out there. Expect a full DSi XL review when we get it! And perhaps some other surprises as well. In the meantime, we get to strut our stuff with a cool medal – and all of you can brag about how awesome we are, if you want.
Before I leave you all to celebrate on your own, I just want to give a few thank yous:
- sugar, who got countless numbers of community members involved in the voting process, and also had the idea to make a video on ZUTV encouraging users to vote. We probably wouldn’t have won without you!
- The ZU community - this only proves that we’re the best and most tight-knit community out there.
- All of the other sites – this was a great and unique contest, since usually sites themselves don’t get to win anything. It’s great to see other participants thought the contest could be successful and made it so.
- Adam, the man behind the entire contest. Thanks for holding such a unique event!
Once again, we’ll have tons of info and reviews and whatnot all about the DSi XL once we get it. Word from Adam is that he’ll be shipping it out via airmail on Monday, since the post office is closed. So stay tuned in the near future for DSi XL info!

Wow, I feel kind of famous seeing my name on someone else's website, and all I needed to do was give away a games console to achieve this level of fame.
Well done Jason. Looking forward to your review.

Wow! Job well done, Jason. I can't wait til you show us what it's like

Suck it, ZI

I didn't vote for ZU or ZI cause they didn't offer me anything. THT gave me a point in the Hidden Triforce contest for voting for them
February 21st, 2010 at 5:36 am
I'm so glad you won, this site really deserves it!
February 21st, 2010 at 9:07 am
Congrats ZU! Glad it won. Jason is probably over-hyped for his new DSi XL.
XD
Anyways, can't wait for the review.
February 21st, 2010 at 2:23 pm
Congrats guys! You deserve it! I'm really looking forward to your reviews!

Congratulations! I hope you guys use the system for reviews if there are any future DS Zelda games.

Just for the record, ZU instantly stayed at the top of the list when they entered, they didn't fight and battle at all.
