Super Smash Bros. Melee was the Nintendo Gamecube’s hottest title, which made Super Smash Bros. Brawl the most anticipated title for Wii. The Super Smash Bros. series pits everybody’s favorite Nintendo franchises against one another to duke it out and answer one question: Who is the ultimate warrior? Brawl extends the gameplay and features of previous Smash Bros. incarnations, making it not only the most action-packed and complete Smash Bros. game to date, but also the most compelling and intense battle experience the gaming world has ever seen.
Oh, and Link’s in it, too.

About three months have passed since the events of The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, and Link, Tetra and Tetra’s band of pirates have set sail in search of new lands. They come across a patch of ocean covered in a dense fog, in which they discover an abandoned ghost ship. Tetra falls into danger when she explores the ship alone, and Link falls into the ocean when he attempts to rescue her. After washing up unconscious on the shores of a mysterious island, he is awakened by the sound of a fairy’s voice. With the aid of this fairy, he sets off to find Tetra – and his way back to the seas he once knew.

Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland was released only in Japan and Europe, never making it to the USA due to lackluster sales. Surprisingly, the game was well-received among those who did play and review the game. You play as Tingle, a 35-year-old (and single) man lost in the world. Guided by the mysterious figure Uncle Rupee, Tingle fills a mystical spring with money and gain access to the wonderful Rupeeland, a paradise where nobody has to work. Along the way, hire body guards to protect Tingle – but from what? All may not be as it seems in Tingle’s quest for monetary gain, and Rupeeland just might not be so rosy after all...
Unfortunately, Zelda Universe has no guides right now for Tingle's Rosy Rupeeland. We're in the process of developing our first guide for this game, however, to check back soon!

Thank you oh webmaster/owner of ZU!!
(nice vid)
My dad has one, but he won’t let me download it.
I would so get the iphone just for this lol too bad verizon doesn’t carry it
Hah. I thought for sure it was going to be some outrageous price like 5-$10.
I wish this was functional for the iPod touch or there was an Android version.
Sigh.
I love how you can listen to other people. They just need to make it so you can play with people in your contacts over the internet instead of just listen to random people… who suck.
I wish I had an iPhone… this is coming from someone who actually plays the real Ocarina. It just looks easy.
In reality, blowing is the hardest part. You have to make it sound like it’s not a whistle on steroids.
Congrats to the people who made this. Looks pretty sweet.
…Holy!…..
That is the single awesomest thing I’ve seen in months! I’m a digital music composer, so this is particularly fascinating to me! Now…to get a job as a doctor so I can afford an iPhone….
This seems really cool, and really makes me wish for an iPhone.
The names of the different ocarinas are some sort of musical scale term, they also happen to be the names of some certain important characters in Mother 3
.
I own a real ocarina. Very happy with it. Doesn’t take long to learn and is fun to play!
It works on an Ipod touch, too right?
Unfortunately not, because the Itouch doesen’t have a speaker.
Actually the new iPod Touches have a speaker. But you can still just use your headphones (or even plug it into better speakers so it sounds better) for the older Touches. However, neither Touch models have a mic..I think. So you still wouldn’t really be able to play it.
Looks cool.
That person playing Final Fantasy was very good.
“I’m a very musical person, I also talk like a fag.”
Dude I had to sit through like 10 minutes of your shit talking before finally seeing how the goddamn thing works, pretty impressive though, I’ll tell you that.
