I've finally finished the Adult Saga Extra Chapter. I expected it to take a little longer than usual, but the 4th of July weekend didn't help much. Happy 4th of July, by the way.

This chapter was not only the longest one thus far, but it was also the most challenging to translate. Between all the different dialects and speaking styles... I was about ready to jump off a building by the time I finally finished. But it turned out nicely, in any case. And, though it was difficult to translate fully, this chapter has always been my absolute favorite. I'm sure you'll love it, too.

So, the second Ocarina of Time manga is complete. You can expect the first chapter of the Majora's Mask manga soon.

D'oh. I hate typos soooo much. And I was told today that I mistyped Rouro's name in that last manga chapter several times. Usually I'm really careful about that sort of thing, being a bit of a perfectionist, but that name is so easy to mistype that several got past me without my notice. I found typo mistakes on pages 10, 11, and 14, and have fixed and re-uploaded them all. So, for anyone that's been downloading the mangas, you'll want to re-download these fixed pages.

Big thanks to Cameron for bringing these silly mistakes to my attention. ^_^;;

Also, while I'm here, let me also say that I'm sorry the first installment of the Majora's Mask manga is taking so long. I've just had a whole lot going on this week. I'll get on that as soon as I can.

Okay, I finally have finished the first chapter of the Majora's Mask manga.

I'm sorry for that ridiculously long delay. Not only did I have a lot going on during the last couple of weeks... well, after spending almost all of my free time for the last two months working on manga, I kinda needed a break.
But hopefully it'll be worth it.

Amazon.com has updated with a pre-order page for the hotly anticipated Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. The online retailer lists the game with a November 14th release date. Similarly, Amazon.co.uk has listed the game with a November 24 release date. Though these dates have not yet been confirmed by Nintendo, they seem pretty plausible. At the very least it'll give you the opportunity to pre-order the game, if you haven't done so already.

We'll have more on Twilight Princess as it becomes available.

Chapter 2 of the Majora's Mask manga is done.

I wanted to get it done a couple of days ago, but, y'know... Harry Potter. It consumes me.

Fellow Nintendo Fan site, Nintendojo, has brought forth information from a recent interview with Shigeru Miyamoto and Eiji Aonuma in the Swedish publication Reset. The two Zelda-men state that they intend to fix the mistakes that they made with Wind Waker.

In particular, the two mentioned the Triforce collecting portion of WW. Aonuma stated that even though he did not feel that that portion of game was finished, the development was rushed at that point so he had to approve it. He goes on to say that that portion of the game was rather dull and boring, and that he doesn’t want anything like that in Twilight Princess.

Miyamoto also responds to claims that the sea was too large, and that there weren’t enough dungeons. He wants to assure fans that Twilight Princess will have many, many more dungeons.

The two men also re-state that TP will have a more mature story and theme. Further, they mention that they want TP to have all the side that people expect from a Zelda game.

Z-I will have more on this hotly anticipated game as its release draws closer.

And now, for something unusual.
A Worlds Apart chapter.

I'm really sorry, everybody. I know I've let so many people down by going almost eight months without producing a chapter. This is a story-development chapter - not a lot of action. As a result, it required me to sit down to take time that I didn't have in order to actually develop the story. With all the stuff that's been going on in my life lately, it's been hard to dedicate the necessary time. Hence the stupidly long delay.

But, good news... I think I, for the most part, have things worked out storywise... so I should be able to start producing decent writing again. So, I'm sorry again. And, even though there's nothing uber-exciting in this chapter, I hope you enjoy it anyway. Just, rest assured... the stuff I have planned for Part III is pretty darn cool. Hopefully that'll make up for the last couple of years of slow work.

In other news, the registration for Camp Hyrule has started and will be going on until the 28th, so if you're planning on going to Camp Hyrule this year, make sure to register!

Hey again, everybody.
As you may or may not know, the staffer that was in charge of taking fan submissions was replaced recently. But I went through his mailbox today and it was quite backed up. It was 97% spam, but there were a lot of old fanart and fanfic submissions from as far back as 2003. I've managed to rescue a couple of the most recent ones... But, for the most part, if you submitted a fanart or fic that never got put up, and you still want it put up, I ask that you re-send them to one of the people that now handle fan submissions. And I promise they'll get noticed this time.

To submit a fanart or fanfiction, please send it to Trent, OldFriend, or Daemar.
