Marathon Zelda Gamers at it Again

GC News from N4G | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

GC - Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Marathon Zelda Gamers at it Again

You may remember last weekend when Kotaku posted about the guys at cameronbanga.com who tried to make it through four Zelda games in 48 hours. Due to some glitches, they weren't able to squeeze in all four games but still managed to raise over $1200 for Penny Arcade's Child's Play charity. So, in an attempt to make up what they couldn't finish, the boys are at it again but this time they have given themselves eleven hours to complete Twilight Princess. The marathon gaming session will again benefit Child's Play and will be the first in a series of charity driven weekend gaming sessions.

Cartoon Spin-Offs: The good, the bad and the WTF!?

GC News | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Jan 10, 2007 We're all used to seeing games make the jump from small screen to silver screen. But getting sprinkled with a little Hollywood magic isn't the only way that our favourite game characters can be packaged to appeal to a broader audience. Every so often virtual heroes of gaming dodge the bright lights of a blockbuster movie (or, indeed, a veritable cinematic craptacular) and find themselves transformed into a cartoonified persona. But which of gaming's iconic faces have been treated ... » Read More

Looking back: The Legend of Zelda

GC News | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Sept 28, 2007 Nintendo currently owns four of the top 10 best-selling franchises in the video game world. Number one? Of course it's Mario, the bouncy platform king everyone knows. Nipping at his heels are 493 super-powered Pokemon. Charging right behind them, however, is one lone figure riding atop his tireless steed, sword held high in utter triumph and hard-nosed defiance against all other comers. So, even though Mario and Pokemon outrank Link by a wide margin, the latter's mindshare and ... » Read More

Time traveling with Link

GC News | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

Mention Link today and most people will envisage the young wolf boy that inhabits Twilight Princess complete with his signature sword, shield and green tunic. And while theres no denying that this is certainly the best Link has ever looked, hes come along way since he first graced our consoles way back in 1986. Of course it comes as no surprise that Link has taken on a wealth of different looks over his years of adventuring and exploring. He began his adventures as a tiny sprite in The Legend ... » Read More

Game Cube Zelda: Twilight Princess Shortages?!

GC News from N4G | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

GC - Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Game Cube Zelda: Twilight Princess Shortages?!

When your new console has a single killer-app (and that Twilight Princess -- she's a killer) and another version of the game is supposed to ship almost a month afterward on your very dead old console does it make sense to short supply the old version?

Twilight Princess GC Online Only in Japan

GC News from N4G | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

GC - Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Twilight Princess GC Online Only in Japan

Nintendo's really pushing that Wii version, aren't they? According to Famitsu, Nintendo is only going to offer the Gamecube version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess through online order in Japan, leading Digital Battle to speculate:

"The main reason for Nintendo to do this is to avoid both versions of the game in stores at the same time. Because of the Wii launch, they would much rather see the Wii Zelda sell than the GameCube version, and that wouldn't be a guarantee if the two versions are on the same shelf. There is no information on whether this will be the same procedure in Europe and US"

Zelda GC bumped by the Wii

GC News from N4G | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

GC - Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Zelda GC bumped by the Wii

Nintendo's GameCube version of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess won't ship concurrently with the launch of the Wii - in America at least.

It has been delayed, but the news isn't all that bad: it will reach the US on December 11 (a fortnight after the Wii's launch). Given that the Wii is launching in the UK on December 8, that would appear to make it a bit touch-and-go as to whether Twilight Princess for the GameCube will make it into the shops in time for Christmas on these shores.

New visions of Twilight Princess

GC News | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

There's so much riding on Link this time - quite literally, on occasions when he transforms into a wolf - that new screens can only make us want it more. And it's fair to say that the shots Nintendo has released (available by clicking the Images tab) make us want it very much indeed. There are familiar elements: fishing, sprawling fields to cross on horseback. There are elements we've had time to get used to: Link's alternate wolfen form, or the insidious ink-curls of the Twilight Realm. And ... » Read More

GC - Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - Zelda: Twilight Princess versions to be near-identical?

The newest issue of Nintendo Power has confirmation that with the exception of the control scheme, the Gamecube and Wii versions of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess will be identical.

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Preview

GC News from N4G | Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

GC - Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess - The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess Preview

People have been begging for it. We're talking like the old days, back in the days of The Ocarina of Time. A follow-up in The Legend of Zelda series that was worthy of that N64 title, and not just some passerby game that tried to inject some originality into the formula, like the kiddie-transformed Link in The Wind Waker or the Expansion Pak-fueled Majora's Mask. No, we're talking about the need for a full-on Zelda adventure that makes us remember, no, cherish the brand the way we did back on the NES and on the SNES, and with Ocarina. And we waited and waited and waited some more upon the announced Twilight Princess for GameCube/Wii, and it's finally looking like it will surface this fall.
