Here we are, the final week. A mere five days remain before the release of Skyward Sword, and Zelda Universe’s series 25 Years in 25 Days is drawing to its close, but not before it covers the most recent of Zelda’s console games: Twilight Princess. The year 2006 brought the Wii and with it this aesthetically wonderful game, and all of Zelda Universe’s focus is drawn to it today. But they question something; was Twilight Princess as much of a…

In 2005, fans were eagerly awaiting the release of Twilight Princess. At E3 the same year fans were given the opportunity to play the demo of the GameCube version. They also got to see a new trailer that showed Midna and Wolf Link of the first time. Twilight Princess would unfortunately get delayed for another year, but luckily for Australia and North America, The Minish Cap had finally been released and fans of these regions would finally get the chance…

Zelda Universe’s 25 Years in 25 Days continues through Zelda history with the year 2004. This was the year that Nintendo announced their newest handheld and newest console, the Nintendo DS and the Wii, at E3. Fans were also shown the first trailer of the new Zelda game that would be coming out on the GameCube. Due to the dislike of the graphics from the previous title, The Wind Waker, many fans were skeptical about this next game. That game…

Another day, another year for the boys at Zelda Universe. Continuing their series 25 Years in 25 Days, they have reached a milestone year for Zelda: 2003, the year that brought us Wind Waker. As such, they have dedicated their entire article today to one of the most beloved yet controversial games in the series and the first major console game since the N64 days. 2003 was a hugely important year for the Zelda series. It was the release year…

2001 was a huge year, not just for Zelda, but for the gaming industry in general. This was the year that brought us the release of the Game Boy Advance, the GameCube, and Super Smash Bros Melee. Fans also got their first glimpse of The Wind Waker which many were not happy with and some people even got angry. Aside from things happening with Nintendo, in 2001, Sega became a 3rd party, the Sony Playstation 2 was going strong, and…

With Ocarina of Time being such a revolutionary game for its time, it set the bar for what many, if not all, other Zelda games would be compared to. Fans waited with anticipation for the next game in the series to arrive and hoped that they wouldn’t have to wait through another long drought. Luckily, they only had to wait two years. Today, Zelda Universe’s 25 Years in 25 Days takes us back to the year 2000 where Majora’s Mask,…

Moving on in their daily 25 Years in 25 Days series, Zelda Universe has continued past the iconic 1998 that brought us Ocarina of Time to the smaller year that followed: 1999, the last year of the millennium. While many previous years saw Link popping up in various other Nintendo games (1996 was a great example of this), none of those cameos could compare to the year he teamed up with Nintendo’s finest to… well, beat up Nintendo’s finest. Jump…

Our great friends over at Zelda Universe have released yet another great year in their 25 years in 25 days segments. Today’s year is 1998. This is the year that seemingly changed gaming forever and created a bench mark for almost every title released after to be compared to. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is considered one of if not the greatest game ever and is still praised by fans to this day. 1998 laid the foundation down…

As you may know our great friends over at Zelda Universe have been doing a special countdown for The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword offering a highly thought out article going through the many years in Zelda history and giving details on all the Zelda related events that went on during that year. This is a great idea from Zelda Universe giving fans something to read, think about and discuss each day to get our minds off of that long…

The folks at Zelda Universe begin today’s edition of 25 Years in 25 Days with a rather simple statement for 1996: Nothing Happened. No games released, no major info on upcoming games, nada. However, they do mention that Zelda fans were still able to find SOME tidbits from their favorite series this year. Admittedly, there are a few footnotes to be found in the margins of the Book of Mudora for the year, but ultimately most of the diehard Nintendo fans…
