Seems there’s a new interview with Aonuma out that talks about Skyward Sword and the Ocarina of Time 3DS remake. Run over and take a look!

Hey, everyone! You’ll be pleased to know that…well…some of us are back. I got back in town a little while ago, but it seems that Alter is nowhere to be found, as are…well…most of the staff. However, Cody and I are back, and we’ll attempt to keep Zelda in my Pocket alive as much as we can.

In other news…well, I bought a website. It’s not really news, but hey, new affiliate, right?

In any case, good to be back, and we hope you’re glad to have us back! We’ll never leave you again, loyal fans…at least, we’ll try.

It seems that some footage of OoT 3D has finally come around! Check out the video for a look. (Skip to about 1:20 to view the actual gameplay.)

Looks exciting! I’m still on edge waiting for it (even though I’m more into Skyward Sword.)

It seems that the famed “Speed Gamers” are taking this summer to play some Zelda. They’ll be showing nightly streams of Zelda goodness throughout the month of July. Being the caring people that they are, these nightly sessions will benefit the Autism Care and Treatment Today foundation.

However, this is working out a little differently than you might think. The ACT Today! is participating in the Pepsi Refresh Project for their funding. So they’re going to be playing Zelda and telling you to vote for the ACT Today! foundation in the project for the prize of $250,000 worth of funding.

Don’t miss the marathon on their site, and don’t forget to vote! Help procure funding for treating children with autism. Remember: Every vote counts, and this money could help a lot of children.

Until next time, faithful followers!

With the passing of E3, everyone knows about how we saw Ocarina of Time 3D and Skyward Sword. Both games have been highly anticipated for QUITE some time, and it seems that expectations are high for both. But this begs the question: Which game are the fans anticipating more?

You could argue that the release of both will bring Nintendo a lot more revenue, but you also have to take into account the average audience of the series. Most of the fans are kids without a steady income. If Nintendo releases both at the same time, they may be forced to choose, causing a somewhat smaller sale rate.

If you had to make this choice, which would you buy? Skyward Sword or Ocarina of Time 3D? Leave a comment and tell us what you think!

Hey, folks! For those of you who’ve never heard of Zelda Wiki.org, you’re really missing out! It’s a comprehensive encyclopedia on the Legend of Zelda series which is completely online and completely changeable! Anyone can register and begin editing the articles!

I, myself, am a member of this site, and I don’t just edit it, I read the articles as well. It’s a great place to go if you want community or to just read up on some Zelda. You may find yourself lost in it; surfing for hours, just reading articles…

I’d recommend taking a look at them at least once.

In addition, don’t forget that we’re still working on the Kakashi game! Don’t think we’ve dropped it or anything

See you around, guys!

Today, a new wiki launched! The name is WiKirby, and, as the site states, “It’s a wiki. About Kirby.”
The site is owned by Axiomist, who is an administrator of Zelda Wiki.org and a Zelda Universe community member. The site is currently staffed by several users from Zelda Wiki.org, Bulbapedia, and Super Mario Wiki. The site aims to be a great resource for the Kirby series and to be a free, independent wiki to stand alongside the growing Nintendo Independent Wiki Alliance (NIWA) which has already gained massive support.

Be sure to pay them a visit!

In addition, we will soon be revamping the site’s layout, so check back with us to find out what it will be!
And make sure to take a look at our nifty new sidebar while you’re here. Enjoy the content, all!

Friends and readers, I’m proud to announce that Zelda in my Pocket has been entered for the Golden Ocarina award at Exploding Deku Nut. The Golden Ocarina is given to the most aspiring site, and we’ve surely come a long way since our founding. Keep checking back to see when the voting begins!

In addition, Zelda in my Pocket’s special project is finally set to launch. In exactly one month, we will be revealing Tingle in my Pocket, a special Tingle Dictionary! It’s been getting a lot of work from us, and we hope to make it all it can be with your help! Please stay with us for it’s launch on March 25!

Until then, stay with us and spread the word!

Tingle is often seen as a strange character because of his abnormal tendencies. No sane person of age 35 would be out looking for fairies, let alone out and wearing a green body suit and red overalls. As a result, most people find him weird, creepy, scary, etc. However, at the same time, he has three of his very own games, his own DSiware pack, and a possible future in the European/Japanese gaming market. What makes him so appealing to so many people while so many others find him to be “weird” or “creepy?”

What the heck is Tingle, anyway?

Tingle is undoubtedly an archetype of the child who can’t seem to grow up. He holds childhood dreams and hopes while ignoring the pressing matter of reality. When we are first introduced to Tingle, he seems to pay no mind to the large moon coming closer to Termina. All he cares about is finding fairies, right up to the end. While Tingle is outwardly an adult, he is certainly a child on the inside.

How does this affect the gamers?

Everyone wants to be a child a little bit longer, but is forced to come to terms with the fact that their childhood is ripped from them at age 18. This creates a sense of longing for the simplicity and innocence once held. This contributes largely to Tingle’s popularity. People see how he hangs on to his childhood and are enticed by that. It is a need to “play” and “have fun.”

What does this say about Tingle’s market?

This tells us that Tingle’s market is basically the perfect consumer base. The longing for childhood will never leave people, no matter how long we wait or how many years go by. His market, therefore, will never die out. This is partly thanks to the ways of today’s world. It’s ruthless in its ways of taking children’s innocence from them, and it reaches younger and younger children each day. This creates a void because the children have no chance to enjoy innocence and ignorance. These children grow up to become Tingle fans every day.

Is Tingle here to stay?

Certainly. Tingle has established himself as a solid character in a market which holds no quarter. Nintendo will definitely explore future options for Tingle because of his success. It may even lead to Tingle games being released in the United States one day.
Even though Tingle is strange and alien to many, he is a close personal friend to many more. They name this friend “Childhood,” and he helps them to enjoy the innocence and bliss of “being a kid.”

I’m sure you all know by now that we have a big project in the works! You’re probably all very anxious to find out what it is, so I’ll tell you now that it’s going to be ready very soon! We are currently putting the finishing touches on it, and it should be ready within the next few weeks. Keep an eye out for it! We’re very eager to get it released!

In the meantime, feel free to check out our content. The staff are working hard on this place every day to make it a great Tingle resource. Please feel free to leave comments and tell us what you think of our work!
