| Ally joined the news team early January 2012. Other video games of note that she enjoys playing are Halo, Assassin's Creed, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and an Xbox original, Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Even above playing video games, Ally's favorite activity is reading. Fantasy and science fiction are her genres of choice and could read just about anything as long as the author seems to know what he/she is doing (so that means Twilight is DEFINITELY out). A few of her favorite book series include Lord of the Rings and the Divergent trilogy. She also enjoys the LOTR movies, along with Star Wars and Happy Gilmore.

| | | Bastian was recruited by Mases to head up the news team in April of 2012. He's loved every minute of it since. When not hiring/training/editing/coaching the news staff, he can be found recording Zelda-related videos on his own YouTube channel, creating an old school style RPG, recording original compositions in his home studio, or at the gym working out. But probably just procrastinating all of that and geeking out to a video game. |
| Connor joined the news team early September 2011. As well as Zelda, Connor also likes Super Mario, Pokémon, Fire Emblem & Kingdom hearts.
| |
| | |
| Connor can be found on DeviantArt creating really amazing comissions of Pokémon fusions, he can also go as far as animating them. Connor claims he's working on a game, but not much information is given about it.
| |
| | |
| Sadly, Connor left Zelda Dungeon early July 2012 due to personal reasons, but he hopes one day he can return to the site again.

| ===Jesse McCarty===
| |
| Jesse, an alien from planet awesome, started as a News Corespondent for Zelda Dungeon in October of 2011. Cut from the staff for a short period and re-hired in January of 2012, he has since maintained his spot on the staff by searching for news, drafting, and scheduling posts for the main page. He is a semi-active member of the forums as well as an occasional article writer. His current goal on ZD is to make a news post with the most comments in ZD history. He plans on trying to progress to the higher ranks of ZD staff. Hopefully receiving more responsibility in the near future as a staff member and respect from other staff members.
| |
|
| |
| Aside from spending some of his free time on ZeldaDungeon, Jesse is an amateur musician and skater. He can also be found on Facebook and Youtube.

| He likes K-Pop and everybody makes fun of him for it. He really really wishes people would stop making fun of him for it, but he still loves K-Pop with all his little heart and listens to it frequently. Majora's Cat enjoys posting on the DGN forums, although his overall laziness prevents him from actually doing diddly-squat and he just watches YouTube videos, going on tumblr and linking friends funny pictures. He reeeeeaaally likes those funny pictures. | | He likes K-Pop and everybody makes fun of him for it.

| ===Nathan===
| |
| A fine upcoming upstart among the ZD staff he enjoys shrimp and tomatoes. He is an Aquarius and enjoys long walks on the beach at night except for the unfortunate events occurring on broken glass beach left him emotionally and very physically scarred, mostly in the feet area. His adventurous lifestyle has taken him towards many realms and has met a great number of interesting and relatively disturbing looking to the somewhat foul smelling peoples. His continuing adventures in the underground land of Uud has earned him the honorific title "Nathan of the Mole People." After having successfully dodged the selective service for years he was still drafted kicking and screaming into the forum staff in the year of 1642 or March 2011 in the Queen's calendar and was quickly put to work on the News team. Due to unforeseen events involving the Sacred Gathering all the News Correspondents of spring 2011 fought until there could be only one. After claiming the "prize" he was awarded with the responsibility of writing articles against his will which was completely not what was promised at all despite breaking his ancient Hanzo sword in the ensuing battle for supremacy with David and Meego7, but remained as the surviving correspondent until the time Mases drew a pentagram on the ground and conjured up several more fellow correspondents for the upcoming Skyward Sword release. Fortunately the combined efforts of the Vatican and several freelance vampire hunters were unsuccessful in removing them all completely so Zelda Dungeon retains a strong News force until today.

| For some reason beyond what anyone here can possibly understand he somehow managed to be considered something of a role model and then clawed his way up towards a moderator position on the forums. Almost going totally bankrupt through the many slush funds and bankrolling all the various police officers and politicians on his way towards an uneasy victory to claim his position of a yellowy username. Time has not yet unraveled the madness inherent in this turn of events.

| |
| Shaun was hired onto the Staff here at Zelda Dungeon in January of 2012, as a member of the news team. He applied to join the staff because of his love of the Zelda series and to gain experience in the field of journalism, which he plans on hopefully majoring in someday after high school.
