The man, the visionary, the legend behind Zelda Universe and its creation. In recent times, he has moved on to other things, but he can still be seen now and then on the forums, and occasional bouts of news. He is responsible for much of the content found in the Universe.

Bought the site from Lars in June 2005 to the shock and awe of many. Although he was very silent during his tenure, he did manage to allow ZU to continue to operate and stay online for the year he was in charge. He sold the site to Yusuf in July, 2006.

Bought the site from Lee in July, 2006. In addition to helping recreate the site and bring to it one of the best layouts ZU has ever seen, he oversaw all operations and ensured ZU’s constant uptime – in more ways than one. When danger ever struck the site, he was quick to action. Sold the site to Jason in August, 2007.

Lish played a critical role in rewriting ZU’s content for its revamp in June 2008. He spent months rewriting several of ZU’s game sections that are now sparkling clean and detailed. In addition, he wrote a good chunk of the Super Smash Bros. Brawl content. Unfortunately, he retired due to an increased school workload.
