    The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy

    Posted August 13th @ 6:47 am by jahiggin

    With both young and adult gamers as loyal fans, The Legend of Zelda is one of the most beloved video game series ever created. The contributors to this volume consider the following questions and more: What is the nature of the gamer’s connection to Link? Does Link have a will, or do gamers project their wills onto him? How does the gamer experience the game? Do the rules of logic apply in the game world? How is space created and distributed in Hyrule (the fictional land in which the game takes place)? How does time function? Is Zelda art? Can Hyrule be seen as an ideal society? Can the game be enjoyable without winning? The Legend of Zelda and Philosophy not only appeals to Zelda fans and philosophers but also puts video games on the philosophical map as a serious area of study.

    The summary above is from Amazon.com, and as of right now, their release date is November 28th.

    Iwata addresses lackluster E3 showing for core gamers

    Posted July 22nd @ 4:27 pm by Kevin Klein

    “If there is any perception that Nintendo is ignoring the core gamers, it’s a misunderstanding and we really want to get rid of that misunderstanding by any means. We are sorry about [the E3] media briefings, specifically for those who were expecting to see Nintendo show something about ‘Super Mario’ or ‘Legend of Zelda.’ However, the fact of the matter is the so-called ‘big titles’ need a long, long development period. … We really didn’t think this year’s E3 media briefing was the time to do so.” - Satoru Iwata

    An interesting take on The Legend of Zelda series

    Posted July 20th @ 3:44 pm by Kevin Klein

    So E3 is over, and many seem to be very disappointing in Nintendo’s showing.  There were a few gems but nothing huge that many were hoping for.  I for one was hoping for a new Zelda game and Nintendo did state the Zelda team is working hard on it. But I still felt empty.  I wanted proof, a short teaser, picture, or title, anything to get me excited.  But nothing came.  Well E3 is over and all we know about the next Zelda game is there will be some changes from the regular Zelda formula.

    Well, a reader Jack Subsinsky came across an interesting take on the Zelda series from The WiiCast website.  This info about a new Zelda game was a rumor and has been proven false. This info is in no part real, but what a fantastic idea.  After reading this I was even more excited about a new Zelda game.

    Thanks Jack S for the heads up.

    Sporting the moniker “Project Deluge” the game would take place in between Majora’s Mask and Wind Waker. Gannon rises again and the “hero” is nowhere to be found. Much has happened to Hyrule. The world has moved into a steampunk age with trains running through the massive game world. Deku muskets are the latest fashion accessory and in a small village a young man becomes obsessed with stories of old. This man has delusion of grandeur. He THINKS he’s the hero reincarnated and eventually emulates him in every way. However not being the real hero has it’s disadvantages such as no master sword or Light Arrows. Supposedly the first half of the game takes place in the steampunk world up until Gannon is confronted and Hyrule is flooded. The second half takes place in the Wind Waker world we know. Other big changes include full voice acting and a fully orchestrated soundtrack.

    Again, this is in no way real. There were rumors about a “leaked interview” with Aonuma, but the interview has turned out to be bogus. Even though the interview is completely false, it is still a interesting read, Check it out here. But the ideas behind the game are fantastic.  But numerous diehard Zelda fans have pointed out flaws in this plot, such as the timeline.  If a game like this were ever created I would be more than satisfied with it.  I guess in the end I just really want a new Zelda for the Wii, and secretly wishing this Zelda game was real.

    Why Nintendo should announce a new Zelda and DS at E3

    Posted June 29th @ 6:31 pm by Kevin Klein

    E3 is just around the corner.  Everyone has already begun speculating about what Nintendo has up their sleeve.  We know just about nothing of what they have to announce.  Many believe a new Zelda announcement or even a new Nintendo handheld.  So after talking to Justin about these two speculations, I decided to look up the facts regarding Zelda and Nintendo handheld released dates. This possible could give us a clue of when Nintendo will announce a new Zelda game or even a new DS.

    How long has it been since Twilight Princess was announced?  The DS was announced how long after the GBA was released?  How many years were there between the releases of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess?  Follow the jump to find out.
