Hyrulecraft Alpha Test

Hyrule Craft is a map based off Ocarina of Time, today I had the chance to play this wonderful creation. The individuals who made Hyrule Craft possible, have spent countless hours destroying blocks to make way for the upcoming Ocarina of Time map. The map is an exact replica of Ocarina of Time it features various warp point locations from the game. Here is what the Hyrulecraft Team says:

"After 9 months of building, rebuilding, and planning, the Hyrulecraft Server is now live for a limited time preview! If you haven’t seen or heard anything about Hyrulecraft before, well then it is time you’ve begun! Hyrulecraft is a 1:1 scale replica of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, in Minecraft! With the alpha map already available as a download, the project has now entered stage 2. The HC team hopes to have a completed server ready later this year which will include a unique Minecraft MMO experience including quests, NPCs, dungeons, free build zones, guilds, and more of the classic Minecraft stuff you know and love. Check out the server today!"

I can say this is a very well crafted map and on scale almost perfectly. I cant wait to see what more the team can do with this map, what do you guys think?

Skyward Sword Wins People's Choice Award *IGN*

IGN has released the results for the Game Of The Year Award, the overall winner was Portal 2. However IGN set up polls which the fans could vote and decide for themselves. The people voted, and... the people's choice award was Skyward Sword! Which makes me wonder why it did not receive Game Of The Year Award? IGN gave it a perfect 10/10, however, Portal 2 received a 9.5/10, but of course this comes down to the people who voted. Skyward Sword won in these categories: Best Story, Best Adventure, and Best Sound. So there you have it. If you still don't own a copy of Skyward Sword I advise you to go pick one up! Do you guys think this was a fair decision by IGN?

The Official Zelda Timeline Translated by GlitterBerri

By now We all know about the book Hyrule Historia, which was released for the 25th Anniversary of Zelda. The book contains an official Zelda timeline, now this timeline can be very confusing. It still doesn't make sense how the timeline changes when the Hero of Time is defeated, because in Ocarina of Time Link doesn't get defeated he wins the battle against Gannon. I also think it's very weird that the most futuristic Zelda Skyward Sword is the first game in the timeline, well i hope it makes sense for you. GlitterBerri has translated the timeline for us using her skills, this is more or less old news now but it makes a great addition to Zelda Realm.

Zelda 3DS Titles Rumor Confirmed Fake

The rumor concerning these 2 new Zelda titles for the 3DS has been confirmed fake. However for anyone who did not know, the Japanese text means Fire Prophecy and Ice Prophecy. 4Chan have a reputation of uploading fake content but considering how official these logo's looked it even fooled me. GlitterBerri has translated the text, here are the problems with the titles:

-Using を instead of の, which renders it completely nonsensical
-Writing “fire” in kanji and “ice” in katakana makes the titles inconsistent. They should either write both in katakana or both in kanji.

So there you have it, a rumor confirmed fake. It makes me wonder what these Zelda games would have been like if they actually were real. What do you guys think?

(Rumor) Nintendo Working On Two New Zelda Titles For 3DS

Last year in November Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma confirmed that there is a new Zelda title being developed for the Nintendo 3DS handheld. This is what Eiji said:

"We are already preparing a new game, a game in the series for the Nintendo 3DS, but don't think that it is a direct sequel to the Zelda titles released on DS. We are talking about a new game, but it takes much of what has been done on previous consoles."

Today this image was uploaded to 4chan:












This is a very exciting time for Nintendo 3Ds owners, however this image could very well be fake. Its to hard to tell at this time, We will have to wait and see.
