Design a Boss Contest (Zelda Universe)

If you think the bosses in Zelda have been getting kind of lame lately (no offense, Stallord) and think you can do a better job, here’s your chance!

The Design a Boss contest is back this Fall to let users share their ideas and compete to prove who can design the greatest boss of all time. Design a Boss | Lupus is offering the grand prize of a Nintendo DSi and will also award the leading designers with many other prizes. The contest started November 15, 2009 and will conclude January 10, 2010. Hop on to the boards this holiday season to unleash your imagination.

The rules and details can be found in this thread in our Future Zelda forums. So get on there and make the best boss you possibly can. I would enter, but all I can think is Ganontrain and I don’t feel comfortable crushing the competition with such an awesome boss.

How Nostalgia Affects Our Perception of Zelda Games (ZeldaInformer)

It's Dangerous to go aloneNostalgia is a big deal in the videogame world. What it is, in essence, is a longing for something in the past. Some experience or some sort of memory which triggers a little spot in our brains that brings us some old school bliss. We experience these sort of events sometimes on a daily basis. It can be sad memories of things we did with our ex-girlfriends, other times it's happy memories like hanging out with friends at a local sporting event; often this feeling washes over us with video games. You know this feeling all too well.

Maybe for you it's the 2D classic Sonic games. Maybe it's Final Fantasy 7 or Duke Nukem. We get this sort of feeling around what were great, fun, entertaining games back when we first experienced them. This is ever true in the Zelda franchise. This isn't to say these games, and Zelda in particular, are bad games today, but nostalgia does tend to take something and make it seem like it is better than it really is by today's standards. So, how exactly does this affect the Zelda franchise?

8 Video Game Bugs That Made The Game Better (ZeldaInformer)



Gotta love humping a dog house to fall into an extra level where it appears you're really, really high. This beauty, which is a bug in Link's Awakening, fell in at number two on Spike TV's Top 8 Video Game Bugs that Made the Game Better. Be sure to check out the full list here.

  • November 14th, 2009 - Community Content: Our Community content has recently been moved to its own, newly created namespace (indicated by the "Community:" prefix). This will allow the Community pages to be expanded and improved in future, while keeping them separate from normal in-game content in the Main namespace.
  • November 4th, 2009 - New Wiki Exclusive Article: Many years after the feature was first launched, we're revisiting the Wiki Exclusives with the addition of a new article! We proudly present Trinity of Truth, by our very own Brent McBride (Cipriano 119).
  • October 24th, 2009 - Capitalized File Extensions: Over the past few days, all of the files which had capitalized extensions (.PNG, .GIF, .JPG etc:) have been moved so that they all have lowercase extensions (.png, .gif, .jpg etc:). When uploading files in the future, please remember to upload them with lowercase file extensions.
  • September 30th, 2009 - Thumbnail Issues Fixed: The thumbnail issue was rooted in ImageMagick, our image processing software. Until ImageMagick fixes its issues, we've switched to GD, an alternative image processor. It works just as well (and actually works), so we'll be sticking with it until ImageMagick gets its act together.

Featured Article

The Golden Goddesses are Din, the Goddess of Power, Nayru, the Goddess of Wisdom, and Farore, the Goddess of Courage, the chief gods and creators of Hyrule. It is understood that the Golden Goddesses have always existed, and that they are omnipotent and eternal. Though the Golden Goddesses are the most important gods of Hyrule, they are rarely mentioned by characters in the games, and most races worship their own patron deities. (more...)
