Hey all, local Games Section Overlord here. I've been getting a few e-mails about Tingle RPG and instead of replying to them all separately, I'll do it in this big update so that I don't have to repeat myself.

Mogitate Tingle Bara Iro Rupee Land will not be receiving its own section on Zelda Infinite for the time being. I am going to be waiting until I see an official release date for North America and/or Europe. If it's going to stay sanctioned in Japan, then I doubt our fairylike friend will get his own spot on our website.

Sorry if you're one of the people who's been asking about it. Remember, you can always talk about Tingle RPG on the forums!

Wow, I'm a total dork.
I was e-mailed by two different people about a misspelling on the last page of that last manga chapter. And I'm usually such a spelling Nazi, too.

It's been corrected, and a new RAR is available.

Speaking of e-mail, I've been kinda neglecting mine lately. I'm not ignorning anybody. I'm just forgetful.

Due to my neglect of my e-mail inbox for the last several days, I'm kinda slow on the uptake on this. Sorry. ^_^;;

The guys at First 4 Figures have posted images of their upcoming Fierce Deity statue, and it seems they're accepting pre-orders.

So... tempting...

This update is to let everyone know that I've decided to give up my position as the webmaster of Z-I. I've run this site for about five years now, and since my life's only going to get busier from here on, I figured it was high time for a changing of the guard. The fact is, I just need one less thing on my plate.

I've handed over control of the site to my good friend Hirohiigo Togashi. His in-depth knowledge of the Zelda series always puts me in a state of awe, and he's a hard worker to boot. I know he'll do a great job.

As for me, worry not. You'll never be rid of me. Muaha.
I'll still be providing manga translations for the site, and I will still be the head administrator at the forums. When it comes to the site itself, I'll just be working quietly in the shadows.

Just so you know, my old e-mail address now goes to HT. I'm in the process of setting up a new e-mail address on the server with which you can contact me. I don't think it's quite up and running yet, but hopefully it should be before long. I'll let you know when it's functional.

Nintendo VP George Harrison recently confirmed that the Wii version of TP will only be controllable using the Wii-mote. If you want to play it with the GCN controller, then you will have to buy the GCN version. I'm sure most of you already could have guessed that, but now we've got confirmation.

We'll have more about TP as we draw closer to its Fall release.

Hi again. Just letting everyone know that my new e-mail address is now working. You can find it on the Staff page, or just click my name on any of the newsposts I make.

I have all next week off, so I'll try to get some manga out then.

Apparently the Wii version of the upcoming Zelda game, The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will see a slight control modification from its E3 build. Instead of pressing "B" to swing the sword like in the E3 build, Miyamoto and team decided that it was more interesting to actually swing the Wii-mote to make Link swing his sword. Originally the team thought that this would be too tiring, but after trying it out, they decided it was the best way to go. Along with this change, the team has also moved control of the bow from the D-pad to the now vacant "B" button. This is supposed to make using the bow more comfortable and easy.

Also, Zelda fans undecided about which version of TP to pick up should note that Miyamoto has said that given the choice, he would play the game on Wii, though both versions will be very entertaining.

The Z-I staff will keep updating you on Twilight Princess news as we draw closer to its release.
