If you’ve been keeping up with the Zelda community for a while, you should know Zelda Dimension. One of the more well-known Zelda sites, it won the Golden Light Arrow award for its outstanding community in 2008. Unfortunately, corruption in the database caused the site to lose its data, and it had to shut down during March of 2008.

Well, if you were a member of that community, good news for you – Zelda Dimension Webmaster Henry has just reopened the site in the form of Destination Zelda, and the new site has joined our list of affiliates. Good luck to them!

Crossbow

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This is Link’s primary (well, only) weapon throughout the game. You aim it using the Wii Remote/Zapper and fire with the B button. Hold down the B button to charge up the Crossbow, then release for an exploding Bomb Arrow, which does more damage and hits more targets—but be careful! You don’t want to hit any penalty targets, don’t forget. Also, use the Z button on the Nunchuk to zoom in on faraway targets. In Ranger stages, you can maneuver Link about using the control stick on the Nunchuk. Another thing to remember about the Crossbow is that by shooting enemies that are glowing green, the Crossbow will temporarily be powered up with a rapid-fire ability making for some easy shooting and a good way to rack up more points–but you endanger your combo by doing so.

Ladies, gentlemen, and muffins, today I saw a very interesting statement made by none other than Shigeru Miyamoto, whom you might all know and recognize as the Golden Boy of Nintendo as well as the creator of our beloved Zelda series. In the interview, Mr. Miyamoto wished to inform the public of his preferential expertise at hardcore, or traditional, games rather than the recent stream of casual games that have been so dominating the industry.

Now, this comes as no surprise to me personally, but it’s also a very important thing to say now, at a time when casual Zelda is threatening to tear apart the community. As Mr. Miyamoto is always involved, on some level be it a designer or director or producer, with each Zelda Nintendo makes, I believe that this statement reassures me as to the new Zelda games in development still being hardcore, even if they shall be trying to appeal to both crowds of gamers.

Oh, and perhaps even more important than the new Zelda game retaining traditional game play elements, Miyamoto indirectly announced Pikmin 3. Excellent.

Phantom Hourglass has been out for a while now and It’s already been deemed as “The best hand held Zelda game” ever, and we have to agree that it’s pretty flawless. So, what can we, at Zelda Universe do to make your gaming experience the best? Why, provide you with all of the locations and tablet strokes for the Golden Frogs, of course.

You’ve Struck Gold

This is gold. Believe us.

So you’ve been playing Phantom Hourglass for a while now and you’ve been exploring all that it has to offer. Perhaps you have been searching for treasure or spending a little time fishing. Or even taking to the seas in search of your next clue. But wouldn’t it be nice if you could travel around the ocean a little faster? What? You can? Yes, there are warp points scattered across the seas in the form of golden frogs. Six of them in total.

Once you have visited Whale Island and recovered the Cyclone Slate from the Golden Chief Cylos, he will send you on a quest to find his buddies at sea. You can then begin your search for all Six of the golden frogs. Upon finding a golden frog, simply fire your ships cannon to draw his attention. It can be a little tricky actually hitting one though. Once you have hit the frog, he will say hello and give you a symbol to learn. This is the symbol you must draw on your Cyclone slate to return to this location.

Now you have to find the other Five frogs and do the same thing. But fear not as below you will find the information on the whereabouts of all Six golden frogs, including diagrams of the symbols you will need to draw in order to warp.
