Im about to get a computer soon so i will be able to do much more than I can on a psp, so I may be able to help out with news. When I buy my computer I will put an example story on here. I should have it tomarrow unless the dell shop in the mall is closed. So keep a spot open.

I'd love to help, I often use many sites to find information as soon as possible anyway, usually I find big bits of info before whole forums (i.e. swordfighting being controlled by the wiimote on tp before anybody else made any note of it on Official Nintnedo magazine forums), i've been a big fan of Zelda since ocarina of time, I'm currently making a flash parody game of zelda and i have a good username for the job

And if it matters, an A GCSE in English Language and a B in English literature.

I'll go see if i can find a good v recent zelda story now...

ok, here's my preview article, i expect quite a few people have probabbly seen this, at least in a different light, but here it is anyway, for lack of breaking news at the moment

Twilight Princess rules over E3!

A recent survey by famitsu in japan shows that twilight princess was the most popular game at E3 2006 to Japanese gamers.

Famitsu ran a few polls relating to this years E3 announcments on its home site (famitsu.com) between the 15th and 18th of may. The site used 294 response to reach the following figures.

In the poll of the upcoming game that interested them most, Japanese gamers voted twilight princess to take the top spot, showing that the expectation for the next Zelda game is still very high, through many release date delays.

Other wii games in the top 10 were super smash bros. brawl (4th), Dragon quest sowrd (5th), super mario galaxy surprising low at 6tha dn resident evil on the wii (9th). Also given a mention were Metal gear sold 4 (3rd) , final fantasy 13 and 3 (DS version of the later) (2nd and 7th respecitvely). The highest xbox 360 game featured was halo 3 in 10th.

The other polls also revealed that almost 90% of Japanese gamers thought that the ps3 price was too high, 68% were the most interested in the wii and 73% beleived that wii would win the next generation race

I may not have much experience, and I may be young, however I would love to help. This is my favorite Zelda site, and it would be a dream come true to help host it. I am trustworthy and a good writer. I spend at least on hour on the computer every day. I have tons of theories and article material. So, if you need an extra hand than you can turn to me.

Here is my shot at an article. . .

The Poes of Twilight Princess

Recently, out of nowhere Nintendo has released some new screens. They are mostly of the Twilight Realm and its new style. Out of these images, one caught my eye the most. It was of Midna and Link in some kind of abandoned house. In one corner of the house is a greenish man. Is this a poe? The man looks more frightened then Link or Midna. I have a feeling that he is more likely to be a friend then a foe. Another thing to note is a screen of Midna seen outside the Twilight Realm looking no different than she does in the Twilight Realm. Quite a while ago, Eiji Aonuma stated that outside the Twilight Realm, Midna is the most basic form of existence. Looking at the screens I believe she may be a ghost. Midna could be a poe. Thanks to M@U for finding these screens. They can be seen above.

One screenshot that really caught my attention is where link is upside down on the magnet. Maybe they need to delay this game a little longer(j/k). Link is upside down and his hat isn't affected by gravity. But the thing that's really interesting is that there looks like a ghostly fist is right beside his bow.Does this indicate some kind of boost for an extra powerful arrow or something?

I guess we'll find out soon enouph!!!

Hows that for an example story?

Not that much info but that story is still to come.

oops I looked at the pic wrong. Stupid old computer moniter. I looked at the pic on my psp, and I now see it is only a wood log...

[Gingerlink 2]

just saying, but link's hat is really beginning to annoy me on that game, it's a great hat and alll. but it's the only thing the over half of the time isn't fight (i.e. not reacting to gravity, swrod goes through it etc...) even on the clip scenes....

Having said that it's the only thing, the rest of the game looks even more brilliant than ever

New Mysteries Unravled for Phantom Hourglass

In a recent article in Nintendo Power Issue 205 they gave new info that revealed some information concerning the new DS game, The Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass. The game will take place a few months folowing the closing scenes of Wind Waker. A mysterious fog enshrouds Tetra's Pirate Ship and Link falls into the ocean. Link is awakened by a fairy. Producer Eiji Aonuma has revealed the stylus use in the gameplay. He said, "My main objective was to develop a Zelda game controlled only with the stylus." Much like the version of Twilight Princess for the Nintendo Wii the fairy will be the cursor for the touch screen. Aonuma has also revealed that in Phantoim Hourglass Link will find one primary dungeon. He will have to go to other small dungeons to advance in the primary dungeon when he can't advance through it anymore. There will be enemies that will hunt down Link in the game called Chasers. The Chasers will be shown on the map to help navigate Link through the dungeon. If you are caught by a Chaser you are killed in one hit.
