The Zelda Dungeon Podcast is finished and overall it seemed to be a success. We had 19 users online at the start of the podcast, and many jumped in and out throughout the podcast and the time afterwords. The podcast lasted just over 35 minutes and went pretty smoothly.
I talked about the recent site news and forums news, while getting some input from the co-webmaster of Zelda Dungeon, Caleb. Later in the podcast, we had a special guest in Amy from Zelda Temple. We had a short interview with her and then moved on talk about our Christmas presents that we got this year. The three of us finished the podcast off with a question and answer section.
The quality was alright, but the sound/volume can still use a bit of improvement. It's still certainly watchable or listenable and you can take a look for yourself at the link below. Please send in any comments or suggestions for future podcasts. Also, if you have any questions you'd like answered for the podcast, feel free to send me an email at mases26@gmail.com or a private message at the Zelda Dungeon Forum.

This months artwork update features four artists with four great pieces of fan artwork. Remember, if you are an artist yourself, be sure to send in your artwork to Juliet at North Castle.
Of Time by Shadsie
Link and Zelda Flowers by CrazyFreak
Marin's Wish by Megan O'Shea
Twilight World by Melora
The always impressive artwork of CrazyFreak and Melora are on display in this months update. Both drawings are great and I especially really love the Twilight World. Additionally, the 'Of Time' image is great and it is now one of several fan artwork images by Shadsie that have been showcased here over the last few months.
Also, a cool feature at North Castle that has been updated is the great 'You know you've been playing Zelda too much if...' section. This page shows fun lists of things that fans have put together to answer this silly statement. It's worth a look and might get a few laughs out of you. Be sure to check out North Castle and the rest of their content additions in their most recent update.

Live New Years Day Video Podcast |

Zelda Dungeon Podcast | |
27 Dec 2008 |

The day the world stands still. Nothing seems to ever happen on New Years Day. All the party's and fun stuff happens on New Years Eve, and almost all the stores are closed on New Years Day. This is where Zelda Dungeon comes in.
This coming New Years, Zelda Dungeon will be hosting a Live video podcast over at the Zelda Dungeon Forums. The podcast will last roughly around 45 minutes or so, but could be more or less, depending on how things go. However, the fun doesn't stop there. I will be live on Podcast for much longer in an unrecorded, unedited, live video stream at the forums. During the podcast I will be joined by a special guest from one of our affiliate websites.
So what is involved in the podcast you may ask? The podcast is broken down into a few segments. First we will discuss news around the site. Second we will discuss recent happenings in the Zelda world. Then we will open up the discussion and I'll be giving an interview to my special guest on the podcast. We will finish off with a question and answer section. The cool thing about being at the podcast live, is that you can take part in the shoutbox while the podcast is actually going on. What will happen is the shoutbox, which acts as a mini-chatroom, is cut down in width and aligned to the left. Then the video is embedded and placed just to the right of the shoutbox. You can communicate with us and each other while the video is going. I'm hoping to have some more interaction with the fans live and we'll just see how it goes.
What I need from you fans now is some questions and suggestions. Send in any questions that you have and we will select a few of them for our Question and Answer section for the podcast. Also, any suggestions on possible new segments, or any general suggestions to help improve the podcast can be helpful.
Hope to see you in a few days. Come ring in the New Year at Zelda Dungeon!

Nostalgia Critic Looks at Mario and Zelda |
|
|

Zelda News | |
22 Dec 2008 |

He's the Nostalgia Critic, he remembers it so you don't have to. That's a spin on the Nostalgia Critic's opening saying, as the critic is an online reviewer who looks at some of the nostalgia movies of the 1980's and early 90's. In particular he looks at bad movies and tv shows that are based on popular comics or video games. Some of his reviews include the old Ninja Turtles movies, the Mortal Kombat movies, Street Fighter, Pokemon the Movie, and a whole lot more.
In the Nostalgia Critic's most recent review he takes a look at the Super Mario Brothers Super Show and the Legend of Zelda animated series. While many of us older Zelda fans have fond memories of these shows, looking back, many of the things involved in them are down right terrible. Anything from the lame jokes, poor animation, strange story lines, and much more. The Nostalgia Critic tears apart both Mario and Zelda in his usual fashion. As a frequent viewer of much of his work, I have to say that he did take it easy in this review, and didn't go completely over the top as he usually does. Still, he provides an enjoyable review for his fans.
Keep in mind that the audience for the reviews is an older crowd and the Nostalgia Critic does use some pretty harsh language. Enjoy!

IGN Presents the History of Zelda |

After doing my late night search over the internet, I came across this article over at IGN. It is an in-depth retrospective of the Legend of Zelda series.
IGN Presents the History of Zelda
It is a lengthy 10 page look at the Legend of Zelda series, touching on almost all of the Zelda titles, from the original Legend of Zelda, Ocarina of Time, Phantom Hourglass, and even the dreadful CD-i Zelda games. I haven't had time to look it over in detail, but after glimpsing over most of it, it hardly seems like new material for any veteran Zelda fan. However, it's always nice to see sites like IGN posting about Zelda. A good refresher and reminder for us Zelda geeks, that even in the time of little to no news, we still get a glimpse of Zelda every now and then.

Twilight Princess Video Walkthrough - Goron Mines |

Chapter 7 of the Twilight Princess Video Walkthrough has been added and you can view it at the link below.
~ Twilight Princess ~
Video Walkthrough Chapter 07 - Goron Mines
Chapter 7 runs just over 47 minutes and it takes Link through the Goron Mines. The walkthrough includes getting the Bow and Arrow, finding the dungeon map and compass, and assembling the boss key. The temple concludes when Link defeats Fyrus, the dungeon boss of the Goron Mines.
I do apologize for the long time it took in getting this portion up. We currently have a bunch of projects going on here at Zelda Dungeon and I've temporarily put the Twilight Princess Walkthrough on the back burner. I will be on vacation for Christmas break in the coming two weeks, but once I'm back, frequent updates concerning the Twilight Princess Walkthrough will resume.

Angry Video Game Nerd - CD-i Zelda Games |
|
| |
| |
Zelda News | |
10 Dec 2008 |
|
Two weeks ago I posted a link to the Angry Video Game Nerd's review of the dreadful Wand of Gamelon. Well today my friends, it only gets worse. The Nerd has tackled the other two Zelda titles for the Phillips CD-i, 'Link: The Faces of Evil' and 'Zelda's Adventure'. The first of the two plays almost identically as the Wand of Gamelon, meaning, it is just as horrendous. Zelda's Adventure really is a breath of fresh air as it is something different, but the relief doesn't last long because it is just as bad as the other two titles.
The Nerd's review of these three Zelda titles should break any and all interest of any Zelda fan out there who is even curious enough to even think about wanting to play any of them. They truly are not only the worst 'Zelda' titles, but some of the worst video games every created. I don't consider them 'Zelda' games, and the Nerd even points this out at the end of his video review. Be sure to check it out, but beware of the harsh language that comes along with it. Post your thoughts over at the Zelda Dungeon Forums.

Zelda Dungeon Podcast | |

The Zelda Dungeon Video Podcast is something that I've mentioned in several of my last few posts and last Saturday evening, we held the first official podcast. It was hosted by me, but we also had Caleb on the line as co-host. Within the podcast we talked about various things on the agenda including the podcast itself, recent site news, recent Zelda news, and then we had a short Question and Answer section. The Podcast was streamed Live on to the Zelda Dungeon Forums, displayed right next to the shoutbox. This allowed Zelda Dungeon forum members to give their input and blog while we were live.
Overall the podcast ended up running just over 42 minutes and for the most part it went pretty well. We made an extremely corny attempt to start the Podcast with some Zelda music... but that didn't turn out too well. Twice during the podcast there was a slight pause as there was an error with the podcast. All in all, some errors were to be expected, but I think it was a good one for the first time. We'll certainly be looking to improve it on several fronts as we go on and we look forward to any future participation from the fans.

Life in a Game - Link's to the Past |
|

Zelda News | |
05 Dec 2008 |

Our friends over at ScrewAttack.com have really had a bunch of Zelda goodies in the last few weeks. Just a week ago their Angry Video Game Nerd released a movie on the CD-i Zelda title, the Wand of Gamelon, and today another new Zelda goody is in place. One of their shows is known as 'Life in a Game'. The main character 'Guy' is seemingly trapped in an endless video game along with his partner in crime 'Sub-Plot'. Throughout his quest we constantly see him interacting with video game characters, items, bosses, and much more. There have been numerous Zelda references throughout his series of videos, from mocking the way that Link gets items in Zelda, to talking to strangers on the streets.
This time around, there is an entire episode that mocks much of the Zelda series, and in particular A Link to the Past. Everything from the music, the characters, the 'trifork', telepathic communication with the Princess, and the annoying talking scenes. There are even references to several other video games including Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil, Halo, and others. I've been following the show throughout its 8+ month lifespan and it really has some interesting stuff.
Take a look at the first few episodes of Life In A Game by clicking here.
Or if you'd like to skip straight to the Zelda goodness, take a look at the most recent episode by clicking here. The beginning of the video shows a very quick recap of what has been happening in the series thus far. It is worth noting that there is some mature language in the movie, so if that isn't your thing, you might want to stay away.
