AHA! I have regained control of Zelda Eternity from Elias who randomly decided to turn evil for some reason… In the wake of our return and Elias magically returning back to normal, we are back with a new layout, “Version 8 – Old World Blues, New World Hope”. This layout not only means a new look for Zelda Eternity but it also expresses a few things: The story between Ocarina of Time and The Wind Waker, The Wind Waker and its upcoming HD version coming to Wii U and a moving forward to new direction that we as a site intend to follow. These are the reasons why I gave this layout the name “Old World Blues, New World Hope”. At the moment the layout is not currently 100% so you’ll find errors on non-WordPress pages. We will have a fix for these soon. In the meantime, you can hit the jump for some more details about the new layout, direction and the Elias Eternity takeover.

We’ve now reached the end of week 3, and we’re still keeping up with the daily posts. Amazing. Today I’m here to present you a little guide that was actually written a long time ago, by Shank. I recently took screenshots for it during my last Wind Waker playthrough, so I put them in and made the guide complete. It is, for those of you who haven’t already guessed, aka those of you who haven’t read the title, Zelda Eternity’s one and only Wind Waker Bottle Guide!

The Wind Waker: Empty Bottles

I realize this guide isn’t as much as you spoiled kids are used to these days, but do not fear; tomorrow we’ll feature the fourth edition of The Bomber’s Notebook!

Yesterday we showed you fine folks the first video in our video walkthrough for The Wind Waker. Following on the heels of that post, we have our brand spankin’ new Wind Waker written walkthrough written by yours truly. Over the course of the next few months, we’ll be updating our (admittedly bare) TWW content section with new chapters and guides and cool stuff.

Just last year, our Spirit Tracks section became our first game section to have a complete set of game help and quest content including a full walkthrough. We hope to do the same for TWW this year or die (or flunk out of college) trying. We will be submitting brand new content and revising the content already available in addition to the walkthrough already scheduled. Check back over this month to see our TWW content section evolve and grow into the beautiful, majestic siren it’s meant to become.

Also, feel free to submit helpful comments or suggestions below or on our social media for ways to improve our walkthrough layout! We’re working on ways to make walkthroughs far more user-friendly. So tell me folks: what features would make your game help quest a lot easier to navigate?

Hey, everyone! Today we finally get to announce our upcoming month of celebration for Wind Waker’s 10th Anniversary in North America. As you may know, The Wind Waker was released in this region on March 24th, 2003. To commemorate such a significant game in The Legend of Zelda series, from February 23rd to March 24th we will be holding a Wind Waker Month here at Zelda Eternity.

Now, if you remember back to 2010 where we celebrated Majora’s Mask 10th anniversary, you may recall the Happy Mask articles we had written by staff and fans. This time around we’re taking that idea to a whole new level. For these 30 days, we will be posting daily Wind Waker content. Content such as articles, fan works, a brand new site /and/ video walkthrough, the random revival of our staff blogs, and a special but secret surprise on the very last day that I’m sure everyone will enjoy.

By announcing this celebration roughly a month early, it gives us plenty of time to gather fan works. I know there are many out there who fancy in the arts, whether it’s artwork, fanfics, or even music. So if you are one of those types, we’d love to showcase any work (old or new) during WW Month. Send in your submissions here and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Hope everyone enjoys WW Month!

Hello there ZE readers! Today I bring to you a plug (er, I mean an update) of our social media. Currently, Zelda Eternity can be found on Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, and YouTube. At the moment, we haven’t found any other sites to reach out with, but we’re always on the lookout for new ones.

Facebook

As of this post, our fan page has 1,107 likes. Aside from our news posts, you can find various Zelda discussions with both our fans and staff members of the site. The page is always active and full of great people to talk with.

Twitter

Currently our Twitter account has 451 followers and 525 tweets. While you can also find news posts here, ZE’s interactions with other sites and friends can also be found. Our fan population here is small but dedicated!

Tumblr

Our blog on Tumblr is the most recent addition to our social network outreach, as it was opened on December 17th of this year. The blog has already gained attention and interacts with many bloggers who love the Zelda series. We only have 23 followers right now, but that number is steadily increasing as the weeks go by.

YouTube

ZE’s YouTube account is nearing its 4th year, with 236 subscribers and 88 videos. While we haven’t been as active on YT, we are looking toward uploading more videos in the near future. Suggestions for what you want to see on our channel are always welcome.

Know of a social networking site ZE should use? Let us know in the comments!

Hey fans! You might’ve seen us talking about a stream during the holidays on our Facebook or Twitter page, so here it is! It’s a bit of short notice, but we are holding a 3 day marathon starting on Friday, December 21st at 6pm EST. This stream will be different than previous ones, however. Our streamers this year decided to pick games that remind them of this time of year. Games that they have a special memory or tradition with.

Schedule

Majora’s Mask (3 heart run) – Emhave
Metroid Prime – Falcool (and his girlfriend)
Ocarina of Time – Reagan
Donkey Kong 64 – Mike
Sonic Adventure 2 Battle – Skermefaten
Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance/Super Mario Sunshine – Emhave
New Super Mario Bros. Wii – Mike (and his girlfriend)

Normally I’d post timestamps, but times are bound to vary. Timestamps will be displayed on the stream page while the stream is going on.

Don’t forget to mark your calendars, everyone!

And no, a Zelda site having a stream with non-Zelda games is /not/ a sign of the apocalypse. =P

If you haven’t guessed already, it’s our 4th birthday today! It really does seem like a long time since Mike and Max joined their sites together to make ZE, not that I was there to see it myself. I came here about three years ago, and by then Mike and Max had already merged with Cloud’s site as well, and as I was staff there we merged with Skermefaten’s Zelda World. You can read all about our history in the “Site History” section of the site if you’re interested.

I don’t know about you, but I have tons of memories from this site. Hopefully we’ll get a new Zelda game revealed in the near future so we can all get active and excited again! Anyway, here’s to four good years of marathons, posting, chatting, and everything else we’ve been doing! We would never have gotten where we are now without all of our awesome staff and fans, so thanks to all.

Are you a fan of the Scribblenauts series?  Are you a Nintendo fan? (Ignore that question.)  Are you getting the Wii U?  If you answered yes to any of those questions, then you should be excited!  Scribblenauts Unlimited for the Wii U is setting up to be the franchise’s biggest release yet.  And to make it even better, the franchise’s developer, 5th Cell, has teamed up with Nintendo to bring a number of characters from the Super Mario Bros. and The Legend of Zelda series!  This alone makes me want to get the game – will you be picking it up with your Wii U?

Hi everyone, it’s DodongoBomber, your friendly neighborhood Video Specialist. Since I just so happen to specialize in videos, I will be bringing you a new feature here on ZE, essentially a mailbag, though a bit more free form, you could say. Basically, you guys send in questions for me to answer, just like a mailbag, except they don’t have to be Zelda related. They can be of course, but don’t be afraid to ask me whatever you want; just listen to the questions in this week’s episode! These will come out once on every Friday, and I apologize for the late post today; it was quite hectic trying to put everything together for the first week. Here’s the video:

Hope you guys enjoyed, and are looking forward to next week’s episode of The Bomber’s Notebook! Make sure you send in questions; they can be about literally anything you want, so long as it’s PG-13. Another thing to note, I will be returning with my Twilight Princess Video Walkthrough soon. Everyone and everything has been really busy as of late, but I am going to find the time for that too, very soon. That’s all for now guys, see you later!
