Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD remake coming by Fall 2013, Wii U Zelda also in development

Sinan Kubba — Wed, 23 Jan 2013 09:31:00 EST

This morning's Nintendo Direct confirmed two new Zelda games for Wii U, namely an HD remake of GameCube game Wind Waker with improvements to gameplay and graphics, and a brand new entry that will address series conventions like "completing the dungeons in a certain order", and to "play by yourself." The Wind Waker HD remake is expected "by this fall."

In the Nintendo Direct broadcast, Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma said the new Wii U entry's mission statement is to "rethink the conventions of Zelda," including things like linear progression through dungeons. Aonuma went on to say the new Zelda game will take some time before it is released.

We won't have to wait as long for Wind Waker on Wii U, though. In addition to visual and gameplay tune-ups, the remake features off-TV GamePad play and is Miiverse-compatible.

The Legend of Zelda will soon be retold in this nursery

David Hinkle — Wed, 20 Jun 2012 03:00:00 EST

We think our dad is pretty cool, but here's a secret: he's not as cool as this dad. Our dad never put in three months of hard work (over 150 hours!) on something for us before we were even born. Way to look like a chump, pop.

With a baby on the way, Cole enlisted the aid of his buddy Wes to create a nursery modeled around The Legend of Zelda series - specifically, Wind Waker and Spirit Tracks. The result is the video above, a tour of a room decked out in Links and Zeldas, ships and trains, and soon ... whatever it is that happens as a result of having a baby.

Woman creates massive Lego Zelda mosaic, takes longer to finish than most Zelda games

Alyse isn't just your usual Legend of Zelda fan -- aside from the drawer full of Link-themed clothing and decorative Majora's Mask cup set sitting in her cupboard, she's now also the proud owner of the gigantic Lego mosaic you see above. The product of her brow's sweat and her hand's work, the mosaic was created for Brickcon, an annual event that celebrates adult Lego hobbyists.

Head on over to her Flickr account for shots of the impressive feat throughout its development (the above shot is of her husband, Remi, and the Lego computer case he built), something Alyse documented because she "was inspired by many of the stained glass artwork from Wind Waker." If we had enough patience to do something like this, we probably wouldn't have jobs on the internet.
