Nathan, our good buddy over at arch-rival site ZeldaInformer, has posted a detailed article reiterating everything we’ve learned so far about Nintendo’s upcoming Zelda game for Wii. If you need a good refresher about what’s coming to the Zelda world in the future, check out his article. Think of it like a TV show episode that does nothing but recap the whole season.

Recently, Club Nintendo offered a set of three Zelda posters in return for Club Nintendo Coins. One of the posters chronicled all of the different styles of Link through the ages, while the other two were from Twilight Princess and Phantom Hourglass.

Unfortunately, they were backordered, but it looks like they are now ready and arriving, so you should hopefully receive your Zelda poster set sometime this week.

Nintendo has finally announced the release dates for their European Autumn/Winter Lineup on the official Nintendo of Europe website.

The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks has been announced for a December 11th European release, just four days after its release in America. The Australian release date has not yet been confirmed.

It looks like Nintendo underestimated the number of people who would rush to order their Zelda poster series, because a large number of people are currently being told that their purchases are backordered.

Hopefully Nintendo won’t take too long in making enough to go around – after all, it can’t be too hard to simply print out more copies of the posters!

If you are a member of Club Nintendo, you can now purchase a set of three Zelda posters – the main attraction is a lineup of all of Link’s different artwork styles throughout history, and it also comes with the promotional posters for Twilight Princess and Phantom Hourglass.

Given the content, these posters could sell out quickly, so you should probably cash in your Club Nintendo coins as soon as possible if you are interested in obtaining them.

In 1989, Nintendo published a book based on the original Legend of Zelda game, titled The Legend of Zelda: Molblin’s Magic Spear. Well, a homebrew DS port has been made of it featuring music and narration.

Sounds like a good way to introduce the newer generation to Zelda, especially on long trips. Another version featuring the words instead of narration was also created, which you can view here.

According to this press release from Nintendo, Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks will be released December 7.  And look, official box art.

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.

It seems with Spirit Tracks so close to being released that sometimes we seem to forget the game is even coming out. Maybe it has to do with the disappointment in getting another handheld installment so soon after the previous while we wait even longer to even get a trailer of Zelda Wii. Maybe we just don’t like Phantom Hourglass, and thus assume we wont like Spirit Tracks. Or, maybe we just don’t play games on the Nintendo DS that much. Whatever the case may be it isn’t about to stop Spirit Tracks from bringing in awards.

Spirit Tracks won the “best of show” for the Nintendo DS at Gamescom 2009, beating out other titles such as Scribblenauts and Mario and Luigi: Bowser’s Inside Story. This is according to our friends over at IGN. Loathe it or hotly anticipate it, it appears that Spirit Tracks is a very solid title soon to be added to the Nintendo DS’s library.

We’ve got ourselves a new world-premiere thanks to our friends at First4Figures; the guys who make the officially licensed Zelda-statues for Nintendo. We can give you two more names of upcoming characters from Ocarina of Time and two more from Twilight Princess!

Remember that newspost we had not too long ago about the new The Legend of Zelda statue First4Figures was going to make? Well, we got the exclusive confirmation of who it is AND we’ve got an exclusive deal concerning the first images of the statue!

Just here to post a mailbag, answering the questions of the masses.

I have no real fun way to post the mailbag this week, so I will just post it.  You can view the mailbag here.  In it, I answer questions about the Wii Zelda, the Timeline, other misc. questions.

Please send some more questions so that I can answer them.  It can be anything Zelda or Nintendo, and I will do my best to answer it.

That’s all I have for now.

Ever been stuck on a level of a game and got so frustrated you just gave up? Well, not anymore.

A patent was discovered in January (Created by Shigeru Miyamoto) that hinted that Nintendo would be making games a bit easier for casual gamers. And just last week, it was hinted that Nintendo would be implementing a system, starting with the New Super Mario Bros. Wii, that would make games easier for casual gamers. What is this new system, you ask? Read on.

Tomorrow’s the big day, folks, and we’ll be here to cover it all – Nintendo’s not going to get away with announcing anything huge without Zelda Universe catching it in its giant news net.

That said, we’ll also be liveblogging the entire keynote on top of posting news, just like last year’s E3. Bookmark this post, because this is where you’ll be seeing the liveblog happening – and make sure to check back at this post tomorrow (Tuesday) at 9am PST, 12pm EST to catch the keynote!

UPDATE: The liveblog is go! We’re reporting on Nintendo’s keynote right now, so read on.

UPDATE 2: The press conference is over – Nintendo clearly took the hint from last year’s E3 that this one needed to be awesome, and despite there being no Zelda Wii, this press conference was packed with a million Mario titles, Golden Sun DS, and a new Metroid entitled “Other M.” It certainly didn’t disappoint, so if you missed it read on to see what you missed!

The Japanese newspaper Nihon Keizai Shimbun recently reported that by the end of this year a new Wii Fit will be released in Japan. This would confirm the rumors that Nintendo recently patented the name Wii Fit Plus. They informed their readers that the game will measure balance and weight even more accurate and will support online connectivity. But Wii Fit Plus wasn’t the report that sparked the interest of the fans.
