Zelda Movie Director Called a Possible The Legend of Zelda movie the “Next Avatar Like-Film” in 2010
On November 7th, Nintendo announced that a Live-Action The Legend of Zelda movie was on development alongside Sony pictures.

Throwback Bit Thursday: 1998 For a JRPG Fan!
So, it is hard to believe, but it has been a quarter century since 1998. I have very fond memories, perhaps my fondest memories, as a gamer are from that year. While most of my time was spent playing (oh blessed days!) WCW/NWO Revenge, Ocarina of Time, and Golden Eye. I did play some JRPGs…

The Best Games of 1998 According to GameRankings
By my reckoning, 1998 is the greatest year in gaming history. No other year had or has had as many great games released within it. In 1998, the Nintendo 64 continued its trend of having a historically great game and taking the best game of the year awards (for the 3rd year in a row)….
Shigeru Miyamoto on What Makes Ocarina of Time a Special Game
I can never write enough about the Legend of Zelda: of Ocarina of Time, as it is my favorite game of all time. Thus, on my weekly internet search about the game and its development, I ran into a rather interesting Shigeru Miyamoto “Iwata Asks” interview. The interview is part of a long string of…
