Retro Studios Working On New Zelda Title?

Retro studios have not worked on a major game since Donkey Kong Country Returns. Sure they developed some tracks for the recent Mario Kart 7 but they have been very quiet as of late. With the Wii U coming this year, it would seem like a good idea to start working on major Nintendo brands. Fingers crossed that we will see what Retro Studios has been working on at E3 this year. This brings up Zelda. Many have wondered what Zelda would be like with the original gameplay with a western style to it, personally, I think it would be weird at first but I am sure people would get used to it. Recently Shigeru Miyamoto suggested Retro would be a prime candidate for a collaboration on Zelda, Retro have proven its talent with Metroid and Donkey Kong, so fingers crossed!

Ocarina of Time vs Skyward Sword

Last month IGN posted a video comparing Ocarina of Time to Skyward Sword. It was all about which game had the best controls, bosses, gear and story. The video showed off all these categories which, viewers needed to cast a vote to decide which game was better in these departments. The overall winner was The Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword which received the most votes, however The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time got votes but never was the winner in any of the categories. This makes me wonder why? Ocarina of Time is a classic, it was way ahead of its time and everyone has fond memories of the game. The controls, bosses, gear and story in Ocarina of Time is superb, you would think that Ocarina of Time would have won in some categories. I am not saying that Ocarina of Time is better than Skyward Sword, I am saying Ocarina of Time brought new elements to the table and these elements have been used in countless Zelda titles. Both of these games are unique in different ways for example Skyward Sword has very creative gear and elements, the motion controls are spot on and has changed motion control gaming for Zelda titles in the future. If you would like to see the final results the video will be underneath this post.

New Club Nintendo Reward: Majora's Mask

The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask has been on the Wii virtual console since 2009 for 1000 Wii points. Club Nintendo are now running a special deal, Majoras Mask is currently only 150 Club Nintendo Reward points! I think this is a very good deal and will get more people playing Majora's Mask and hopefully increase the chances of a Majora's Mask remake for the 3DS.

New Staff Member: Shadow Link

Hello everyone! My name is Shadow Link and I am 17 years old. I joined The Zelda Realm because I thought it would be a great opportunity to post topics about Zelda and express my opinions about the Zelda games, I am also a friend of ZeldaMasterfull's. I am a big Zelda fan and have been since 2001, my first Zelda game I ever played was The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time. I basically played that game to death. My favorite Zelda title is The Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask because it was set in a parallel universe and its one of the darkest Zelda games in history. In my spare time I make videos for my YouTube channel and hang out with friends at the beach.

Great Site Milestone

Hey guys, Klink here! Man, I miss posting on the site! Don't worry, it's not like I quit or anything. I'm usually just busy with school stuff and such. Onto the important news, I realized today at 3:00am that The Zelda Realm hit 10,000 total site views around a week ago, and I completely didn't notice! Man, that's a great milestone! It really proves how big the site is getting, and it's obviously all thanks to you guys, the viewers. I feel an important need to inform you guys about stuff like this, it's you who makes this possible in the first place. I just want to thank you guys so much before signing off. Oh, and one last thing. You may have noticed a lot of firing and hiring of staff members. Let's just say that a lot of them are not proving to be reliable. How unfortunate. Anyways, it's down to me, ZeldaMasterfull, and Shadow Link (a new member not properly introduced yet) who I think will truly improve the site's quality. Make sure to thank them too, especially ZeldaMasterfull for the great articles. So I want to thank you guys one last time, this really means a lot to me. Keep the support coming!
