Sidekicks, by their very nature, are unappreciated. They do all the heavy lifting, while some square-jawed schmuck hogs the spotlight. There is that old shred of wisdom that Ginger Rogers had to do every step that Fred Astaire did, but backwards, and in heels. The fate of the videogame sidekick is no different. They're put through the exact paces that the heroes go through - slogging through every ambush or pit trap, schlepping through every dungeon or monster-infested cave - but the sidekicks receive none of the payoff. They don't get the glory. They don't get the girl. The best they can hope for is that the girl has a palette-swapped younger sister with her weekends free."
This last week our friends over at
LegendofZelda.com ran the second annual Lozzie Awards, a series of awards that are given to Zelda Fansites for either long or short term achievements.
Last year Hyrule.net won "The Socialite" an award that marked our forum community the most appealing. This year we have been given "The Catalog" an award that praises the navigation we have here at Hyrule.net.

It's been nearly two years.
It's time. For change.
Well guys,
As you know there's been a good few changes on The Zelda Chat Network. It's been over a year since it became part of the NixtrixIRC family and witht he work of tappy I started picking up the pieces from FusionChat & Microswift.
Now with new servers, better staff and more variety of channels I think we've made it clear we're here to stay. With improvements come new faces such as Zelda Dungeon and a few others which are in the pipeline.
Time and time again... People decide to remember the bad days of the the old TZCN and not the good ones. It was once a great community which threvied from all things zelda. The fresh new chat network just doesn't focus only on zelda but from general chat, gaming, webhosting and much much more. So if you have a website and would like your own chat hosted by us (free of charge) then pop onto the chat and ask for Nixtrix.
Come on guys show your support for once a thriving community
- Nixtrix.
Nintendo told us, as soon as the Gamecube was made the Wii was practically already in development.
Either for the DS, as soon the DS was made the '3DS' was in development.
Nintendo also told us that when the Wii was finished that made up ideas and development for their next home console.
Nintendo doesn't want to say anything about their new console, because they don't want other companies to steal ideas from them.
Just like 'Playstation Move' and 'Kincect (xbox360)'. Though, Kincect is more a clone of the Eye-Toy, but that's only like that because they couldn't ask more of the Xbox 360. Like Playstation 3 could.
Else Microsoft of course asked money for every single new controller, like Sony.
