With E3 and big announcements behind us, and Wind Waker HD and A Link Between Worlds ahead of us, many fans are still wondering when we’ll see the upcoming Wii U Zelda game.

A new Super Smash Bros. game is coming out for both Wii U and 3DS, and during Nintendo’s E3 Direct today, the first SSB4 trailer ever was shown to public. The trailer included two new playable characters, Villager and Mega Man, but what is most remarkable for Zelda fans is that the new Super Smash Bros. game will include at least three new stages from the Zelda series, The Spirit Train from Spirit Tracks, Gerudo Valley from Ocarina of Time, and Skyloft from Skyward Sword. Our beloved Link will make his fourth appearance in the Super Smash Bros. Series, with updated graphics, although we have still yet to see if his moveset will be any different.

Hey, folks! Boy, we’ve been gone a while, but we’re back today with something interesting to report on! If you’ve ever wondered how much the great Hyrule Castle would cost in real money (because you’ve wondered that before, right? RIGHT??), the folks at Movoto Blog (a blog focusing on real estate– of all things!) have weighed the information and have determined the most likely price of Hyrule Castle. Disregarding the fact that they didn’t account for the Rupee/US Dollar exchange rate, their estimates are worth a look if you’re in the market for a fictitious castle of your own! Heh heh. Fictitious real estate. A bit of an oxymoron, no? Anyway, click “read more” for the scoop!

Zelda Sanctuary staff member Izagar has recently posted an interesting article about the upcoming A Link to the Past sequel. This article mainly discusses a current hot topic: the Master Sword’s return.

“Most veteran Zelda fans and even those introduced to a Link to the Past during the Gameboy Advance era remember this line at the end of the credits. With Ganon destroyed, peace reigned in Hyrule and the Master Sword fell into a deep sleep within the Lost Woods.”

Izagar cites the line “And the Master Sword sleeps again…FOREVER!”, and with the apparent return of the blade, many wonder about this quote.

The article shares the writer’s views on how the sword would awaken, as well as their views on a few other additions.
