Over at our partnered site Zelda Dungeon, Axle the Beast has posted the weekly mailbag. Remember to send in questions yourself! 
They are also now affilliated with Zelda Chronicles! One site we are affilliated with ourselves.

Nathaniel from Zelda Informer has written an article explaining why he doesn’t think Ocarina of Time is the best Zelda game. Actually, he seems to think Majoras Mask is better than Oot. Disagree? Comment here or on ZI. I got Oot when I was six, but I played Wind Waker a lot first. I don’t know why, but when I got Majoras Mask, it seemed like a better game in story and difficulty. However, I liked the design in Oot much better. Majoras Mask was a lot more mature, and chaotic, but Oot seemed like a much more original Zelda game. I can’t really choose between them.   

As for our own site, I must say that we are still working on some secret projects that Mike mentioned before, but for now, remember that the Marathon starts soon! I am sure Doublet and Garrett will make a post about it closer to the date (6th of August).

Cody from Zelda Universe has interviewed Scott Chernoff who plays Ganon in The Legend Of Neil. Even though the interview only contains minor Season 3 info, I am sure most fans will find this interview quite interesting. Cody is also planning to interview the rest of the Legend of Neil staff, very impressive ZU! Visit Scott Chernoff’s website if you want to see more of him.

The 3rd season will have its premiere later this month, closer details will come later.

Today, Zelda Eternity has partnered up with our top affiliate, Zelda Dungeon. Through this partnership, you can see some of our updates featured on the front page of Zelda Dungeon and you will also find all our updates in their “Partners RSS Feed”. For our part, in our game sections, you will see links to their site walkthroughs for the games except for games where we have our own walkthroughs in development such as our Phantom Hourglass Walkthrough.

Onto other business. I have finally gotten around to working on a new guide for our Majora’s Mask section which I’m hoping will be up before the end of the week. I’m going to be leaving to go camping this Saturday (17th) and I will be back on August 1st. If you were wondering still, we are still working on some projects which we will be revealing before the end of August which should help expand the site a bit. Unfortunately, a message board is still on hold right now though I’m sure you might enjoy what we have in-store for you. Lastly, I have optimized the current news template you see before you. We have removed the category icons for more viewing space. Hopefully the front page might run a little faster, who knows? Anyway, I’ll be off!

One of our top Affilliates, the World Zelda Music Radio site, is currently down. They are performing a major rebuild right now because of problems with the old site. But fear not, the stream itself is still available, even though requesting and stream stats will not be. 

It’s very awesome of these guys to continue with this project, and I hope they get the site up again soon. All people who enjoy good Zelda music should do the same. Their new site will be faster, and better, so look forward to it.

This is a short Community news post, in the new “Community News Section”. Community news this time is only for Zelda Dungeon, which is one of our Top Affiliates.

Zelda Dungeon is going to have a live stream the 3rd of July, and they are going to complete the first four Zelda games in 10 hours (Or try, but it is Zelda Dungeon we are talking about). They will also be holding a Trivia contest with prices. You can check out the details here.
Talking about Zelda Dungeon, Axle the Beast is already done with his weekly mailbag, see questions about Zelda being answered here or send a mail to Axle with your own questions.

Well, I must say I am happy the E3 anticipation is over… However, that’s not why I’m posting this update. The real reason being that Zelda Eternity will be hosting a Zelda Marathon being run to me, Doublet, and Garrett, SpaghettiWeegee.

Zelda Eternity is proud to announce that we have now affiliated with Wii Zelda. They seem to be a rather new Zelda site, but seem be unique in their own way. How so? They only cover newer Zelda games, such as Twilight Princess and the Classic Zelda games released on the Wii. Wii Zelda looks like it’s already a well established site, and seems to have most of it’s pages up already. So when you have some extra free time on your hands go ahead and run over to Wii Zelda and give them a look. They have some interesting aspects to their site, so check those out as well.

There’s not so much news, but Zelda Dungeon had two recent videos, and Zelda Universe is giving away a DSi! Remember, it’s less than a week till E3 begins, and we will have plenty of news then.

Now that the site is back up, it’s time for some recent news.
- About three days ago, Zelda Reorchestrated posted the Kakariko Village song. This melody has been featured on other albums before, but this is the Alttp version. For those of you who are complaining, look on the bright side of it. Since ZREO have decided to make their version of the complete soundtracks, every song helps (Of course, a true fan of ZREO wouldn’t need this reminder though).

- Super Mario Galaxy 2 was released in North America yesterday, and it is set for Japan release the 27th, while other releases must wait till June.

- At Zelda Dungeon, staff member “Smitie” has written a quite interesting article on Zora’s. It’s very deep, and contains a lot of good speculation, so considering there are not so many articles around right now, this one is worth checking out anyway.

In addition to this, Legend of Zelda.com is looking for new staff members so if you’re not interested in any positions here, there are several positions that can be taken over at Loz.com.

If you were wondering what happened to Zelda Eternity, it seems we went down for about a week and you had to stare at that annoying page whenever you tried to visit the site but the problem has been taken care of as you can see which is a good thing. We are thinking about switching to a new host soon anyways so we might not have this problem again.

Now that we are back, we can update again. Where should I start… For a non-Zelda update, Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be hitting store shelves tomorrow and it seems to be receiving very good reviews. A lot of reviewers have been giving the game a Perfect 10/10 while a couple have given it a slightly lower 9.7 or so. It seems Nintendo has done it again but lets hope it’ll be the same with Zelda Wii. Our affiliate Zelda Temple is currently looking into purchasing a layout for their Version 9. They need around $450-$500 USD to get the layout. You can read up on it more over at their site.

Well, that seems to be about it today. I’m sure Falcool will get a ton of updates on stuff going on in the community tomorrow or so and everything should get back to normal. We’re currently working on a couple secret projects right now so we will be busy working on that, and then content…
