Okay, the first thing to say is obviously that Wind Waker has been released in Britain, a day before the official release date! I'd presume this is the same all over Europe. So, I have a copy of it! Don't expect many updates within the next... lifetime. However, I have delayed playing it to finish the archived news script.

This can be found in the News section, where you can see old updates sorted by month.

Also: Addtions to Fanart and Wallpapers.

Finally, news about a new Zelda for GBA has been released. It will supposedly be released sometime next year. No details yet, but there will likely be more info at E3. Source: IGN Gameboy.

Just when you thought it was safe to come online, my friend and partner in crime, Kraziee, brings you something like this. It's a walkthrough for the infamous Bunny Cave of LttP fame. So infamous, in fact, that no one has ever heard of it. I do apologise for my friends.

Also: Wallpaper section updated with new official wallpapers from Nintendo Europe.

I'm playing through Wind Waker steadily, so don't expect a big update until I'm done. However, if anyone has sent me stuff that I haven't put up yet, give me a buzz. I'm making a To Do list so that I don't forget.

Oh yes, and I just realised that although the news page was up, the monthly archives links at the bottom of the main page weren't. That is now fixed.

While this isn't Zelda related news, Mario Kart: Double Dash movies have been surfacing around the net. E3 is approaching my dear friends, and it is making me more and more constipated (And excited) about the future of Nintendo videogames. Mario Kart, among others like 1080 Avalanche, F-Zero, Mario 128, Pikmin 2, Mario Tennis & Golf, Metroid 2 are just a handful of the games that will be shown off at E3 from May 13th-16th. Stay tuned!

There are even rumours that a new Zelda videogame will be shown behind closed doors to various media groups. Exciting? Yes!

I've got some great news folks! The great and talented LHoH (namely me) has laboured long and hard to find this peice of information (well like 3 minutes actually). The folks over at Nintendojo.com have stated that there is an upgraded version of The Four Swords in development for the Nintendo GameCube. Apparently, the GBA and GCN versions work together. The GCN version uses the same graphics engine as its GBA counterpart, but it has the added power of the more powerful system. Apparently, if one of the characters falls beind on the GNC version, that person will be able to keep going by looking at the GBA screen, so there is no interruption for the other characters. The GCN version will be able to support more enemies and things like that as well. More as it breaks.

Also, Nintendo has announded The Legend of Zelda: Tetra's Trackers for the Nintendo GameCube as well. Nintendojo.com also provided the information for this game. Apparently Link is challenged by Tetra (the pirate from the Wind Waker) to complete challenges within a certain amount of time. This game is also compatible with the GBA for some multiplayer fun. A special feature of this game is that people can choose from four different styles of Link from throughout the Zelda series.

Please note that there is always the possiblility that these two games are one and the same, but as of right now, it looks like there are two Zelda games on the way for the GCN!

Greetings fellow Zelda-lings. E3 is here, and Nintendo has updated their E3 site with info on various games and such.

Quite a few new games have been announced including Metal Gear Solid: Twin Snakes (Developed by Nintendo, Konami and Silicon Knights) Pacman GC being developed by Miyamoto (With permisson of Namco) Star Fox 2 and many more.

Visit Nintendo's Official E3 Site for info and screens from each game.

When provided with the login info, leave the spaces blank, and if that doesn't work, type nintendo as the username and media as the password.

Here are some screenshots I've uploaded to Zelda Infinite's server:

Personally, these games look very dissapointing to me. I feel Nintendo is trying to rob us of our money, and made these games just for a quick buck. Nintendo is dissapointing me at the moment.

And please... My website need some support, so if you wouldn't mind posting over at Zelda Xentral it would be much appreciated. It's the same type fourm as we have here, so you won't need to register again.

Take Care!

(Look for the two new Zelda games sections soon!)

While I should probably be doing any number of things, I haven't worked on the parts of this site that need it most. Bad Draknek.

Deku Kirby's OoT Trading Sequence has been online for quite a while, but I hadn't linked to it until today. However, it's up now.

Also, I've spent most of the morning going through all the Wallpapers and resizing as many as possible to 1280x1024. Also online are 6 new official wallpapers from Zelda.com, and a wallpaper I made a while ago, but never uploaded.

I'm planning to do those Link's Awakening maps over the weekend, but who knows if I'll get round to it...

I should also create those game sections for the two Zeldas announced at E3, not that they deserve it.

And finally, on a less positive note, one of our staff, Dustin, has left. He was the one who created the flash introduction for this site. We wish him luck with whatever he goes on to do.

Another day, another update to the Wallpapers section. It counts, because I did this yesterday. This time, all the wallpapers are now in 640x480 resolution. Don't even mention 1600x1200 to me.

I've also fixed up some of the code for the poll. You can no longer vote again after 3 days. I fixed the code for the page links on the comments page, too, so it now behaves logically.

And finally, I have created a map for Level 1 of Link's Awakening. More coming soon.

Maps of level 2 and level 3 are now up for Link's Awakening.

I made a new affiliate image a while ago, but never mentioned.it. It's up in the link to us section - the one with curved corners.

No interesting updates in the near future, I'm afraid. The Link's Awakening maps are taking up a lot of time, time which should be spent revising anyway.

A sequel to Wind Waker has been announced in an interview with Eiji Aonuma! It will use the same cel-shaded graphics as Wind Waker, but other than that, not much is known. The boat may or may not be the primary mode of travel, but I would personally believe not, as in the interview it is said that Aonuma believes in looking first at "what was good and bad in the original", when making a sequel, and many fans had a problem with the tiresome nature of sailing.

Also, levels Four and Five are up for Link's Awakening.

Just a little update to D's last one. Fellow Nintendo site Nintendojo says that this next interation in the Zelda series will be playable by Eł 2004. They also state that there is a possible mature Zelda in the works. Since the Wind Waker sequel is planned for sometime next year however, the more mature Zelda will probably be pushed back to Nintendo's next console. More as it breaks!

~ LHOH ~

Finally, we have a Wind Waker Walkthrough. It's hopefully going to be put up Next Update. On top of that, I have just started my own. It will be done, hopefully in a months time.

Also, I am on the look out for some maps to The Legend of Zelda 1. More will hopefully be put up Next Update.

Thank You

Right, quite a few things to mention today.

• The Fanfiction section has been updated with a new fic, and I have also fixed up a load of broken links. At some point, I need to create a seperate program for creating fanfic pages.


• The Wallpapers section has been updated with quite a few new wallpapers. I found many of these saved on my computer, and I don't know who to credit, so if you know who the creator of a wallpaper is, please tell us! Also, all the wallpaper links now open in a new window. Fear the bulk-edit programs of Draknek!


• As you can clearly see -->, we have a new poll. Go vote, peopel!


• The map for Level 6 of Link's Awakening is up.


• We have a walkthrough for Wind Waker, written by CyricZ. Thanks to M64 for getting permission to use that!


• Added a cool Oracles site to the Links section

More updates on a semi-regular basis.
