The long-awaited, much-rumoured second episode of Pols Voice is here to the pleasure and acclaim of listening audiences everywhere!

This episode is not safe for little ears!

This episode was recorded in February 2012, for Valentine’s Day! But talky-walky recording devices are often fickle, and the fiercest muffins are often the worst at recording audio properly. So due to technical difficulties, this episode almost never saw the light of day. But at long last, we are ready to present this hidden gem to all one of our subscribers!

Due to the repair of the episode and the length of time since the last release, every bit of this episode we could squeeze in is intact. So expect a lot of filler! But it’s hilarious, so don’t mind too terribly.

THIS PODCAST EPISODE IS NOT APPROPRIATE FOR ANYONE 17 AND YOUNGER

We already knew that Zelda 3DS took place in the same world as A Link to the Past, but to what extent? It didn’t take long for fans to take to the game to try and find the exact spot in A Link to the Past that was displayed earlier in the Zelda 3DS announcement trailer. They have come back with the below comparisons showing us that, while the terrain may have changed slightly it really is the same world and terrain as A Link to the Past. GameXplain also presents us with a video displaying side-by-side gameplay of both zelda 3ds and A Link to the Past.

German Nintendo newsite and youtube channel NiNTENDOMiNATiON bring us 13 minutes of gameplay for the next Zelda 3DS game, dubbed A Link to the Past 2 or A Link to the Past Sequel. The video shows us what could be the first level leading up to the boss battle against Moldorm, from A Link to the Past.

Nintendo announced in today’s Nintendo Direct that a new Zelda game for the 3DS is in the works and is slated for December 2013. The game is said to be taken in the same world as A Link to the Past and will feature “layered gameplay,” by allowing Link to jump up to another level of a dungeon.

We’re back this week with a new batch of zelda drawings, posters and even a Kickstarter! Take a look at this week’s zelda fan creations and let us know what you think!

Earlier today, ebuch from the ZREO Team announced on ZREOMusic.com that ZREO will be closing its doors come June 12th, 2013. It is unfortunate that such a great project is coming to an end after just finishing their greatest creation: Twilight Symphony.

I have been a great fan of their work as many others do also, and hope that their next projects become just as successful.

Although they are closing down, it may not be bad news for everyone. They have decided to allow you to download Twilight Symphony legally for free, however they have not provided a source themselves. In this even Hyrule.net has brought up a mirror of the original sounds including the new Twilight Symphony available to be streamed via your browser. Download links will be provided soon, to download whole albums and eventually individual songs. In the meantime you can listen to them here: http://zreomirror.com/.

Are you a creative artist and a fan of zelda? Starting today, Hyrule.net will be accepting your zelda creations to feature! Simply fill out our online form and those that are accepted will be featured.

You are welcome to submit anything fan-made as long as it is related to The Legend of Zelda!

All submitted creations will be featured at the end of the week from when they were submitted.
