First of all, we have a new Staff Member at Zelda Adventures. sba sb3002 has joined the Zelda Adventures Staff, and will work on the incomplete pages among other things, as well as a biweekly article.

In other news, I have finished some Twilight Princess content I was working on. The new content is: TP Bottle Guide, TP Golden Bug Guide, and a TP Item Guide.

Lastly, the problem with the A Link to the Past Walkthrough has been fixed. The Walkthrough can now be viewed in all browsers. Also, screenshots for Chapters 1 and 2 have been added, and screenshots for Chapters 3 and 4 will be added soon, as well as more Chapters for the Walkthrough itself.

Zelda And Philosophy

August 05, 2008, 07:14:05 PM by Zeypherlink

There is a new book coming out relating The Legend of Zelda to philosophy. It is published by Open Court, and here's what they said about the description of the book...

Quote

"With both young and adult gamers as loyal fans, The Legend of Zelda is one of the most beloved video game series ever created. The contributors to this volume consider the following questions and more: What is the nature of the gamer’s connection to Link? Does Link have a will, or do gamers project their wills onto him? How does the gamer experience the game? Do the rules of logic apply in the game world? How is space created and distributed in Hyrule (the fictional land in which the game takes place)? How does time function? Is Zelda art? Can Hyrule be seen as an ideal society? Can the game be enjoyable without winning? The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy not only appeals to Zelda fans and philosophers but also puts video games on the philosophical map as a serious area of study."

Interesting to say the least. The release date is set for November of this year, so if you like philosophy this will be a must buy.

OoA Video Guide Completed!

July 24, 2008, 02:16:47 AM by Zeypherlink

The last 12 videos for the Oracle of Ages Video Guide have been uploaded to the Zelda Adventures Youtube Channel. These videos take players through obtaining the Noble Sword, to and through the Ancient Tomb, and through the Black Tower up to the end of the game. With the addition of these videos, the Video Guide is now complete!

As far as video content on the site goes, I think that's what our main focus will be at ZA for a while. I plan on doing The Minish Cap for the next Video Guide, in about a week or so!

OoA Video Guide, ALttP Comic Updates

July 22, 2008, 05:58:17 PM by Zeypherlink

After a while of no content updates, I've finally gotten around to adding 6 more videos in the Oracle of Ages Video Guide to the Zelda Adventures Youtube Channel. These 6 videos, parts 31-36, take players through getting to Jabu-Jabu's Belly and through the dungeon itself. With the completion of that dungeon, only a few more things remain. I'm shooting for at least 8 more videos in the guide, so it will certainly be done soon!

In other updates, all chapters for the A Link to the Past Comic have been uploaded to the site, as well as links to download it. In the future, you will be able to find all the Zelda Comics on the site.

E3 2008: Miyamoto Confirms Wii and DS Zelda in Development

July 15, 2008, 08:28:45 PM by Zeypherlink

Although there was no real confirmation of a new Zelda title at Nintendo's E3 Conference this year, IGN sat down with Shigeru Miyamoto and asked him some questions concerning Zelda's future.

Quote

"The Zelda team in particular always works on Zelda titles. The core members of the Zelda team have for a very long time now been focused on Zelda games, and continue to focus on Zelda games, so they are hard at work and working away," Miyamoto said. "And then, of course, we have the DS Zelda team as well, so even there we're having some switching of people in and out where the DS team is mixing in with the Wii team and working on the Wii version."

"I don't necessarily think it will change that drastically, but I think that Zelda is a franchise that does need some big new unique ideas," he said. "And so the team right now is very focused on trying to find those ideas."

He also suggested that there will be some unique fundamental changes to the series. What are they? We'll have to wait and see.
