We just wanted to post a nice, quick update in order to inform you all that we’ve now updated our Minish Cap walkthrough! Our guide will now take you through the Temple of Droplets; you’ll notice we’re getting close to completion. And once the guide is all up, we’ll add images and create a new guide template, allowing for a cleaner reading experience. Again, a special thanks to Micheal for all of his hard work!

We also want to apologize for the slowness in news and updates. However, worry not; we have something very big planned for this site. We’ll update you with more soon. :v)

Just a general update regarding a few pieces of news from around the block. First off is…

Minish

The Minish Cap guide has been updated, and now takes you through the third dungeon. Have fun with that, and be sure to thank Michael! You can view it on The Minish Cap Guide page. Next up, we have…

Manga

As many sites around the community have been boasting about, the “original” Legend of Zelda manga has finally been translated into English. Overall, it’s one of the better mangas, at least in our opinion. It goes quite deep into the theme of the original Logend of Zelda game, but it also deviates from the plotline quite a bit. That could be a plus or minus, depending on where you stand on the canon. Either way, I nabbed and colorized an awesome piece of  art from it, seen to the right. You can check out the site it’s hosted on (called BerriBlue) here. And still more news is…

Kakashi

Though not ready yet, we’ve made good headway on the demo engine. Keep in mind that when our release comes, you won’t see much; the engine is essentially the core of the game, involving the character’s coding, movement, etc. The rest wiull start to come along soon once we get over this hump. Once again, we apologize for the wait, but know that we’ve been very busy. Though it’s unlaunched, I can tell you all that we’re working on a seperate website to specifically cover the game. More news soon! And finally, we have the…

To cut to the chase, our site’s been growing in both traffic and size. Unfortunately, this has resulted in a longer load time added to our already long load time. So after a few cuts (we promise you won’t know the difference!), we’ve been able to reduce our load time by an average of about 40%! Overall, we’re quite excited about this, as it makes the world a more friendly place! In the future we hope to cut down the load times even more. Thanks for checking us out!

Hello to all you great Zelda fans out there! My name is Christopher Jenkins (Chris to my friends), also an avid Zelda fanatic, and I am a new staffer here at ZIMP. I have been tasked by my old friend and colleague Alter with starting a new line of articles for this site, and I was more than happy to accept. To speak a bit about myself, I have been a Zelda fan for basically all of my life, the series sharing an almost identical age to myself (July 1987) here in America. I loved the sense of adventure and excitement the games had to offer, as I’m sure most all of you reading this also did. I have done extensive research on the series for many long years hoping to unlock some of its secrets, a testament to how fascinated I’ve been by the series even to this day. Now, Alter has offered me the chance to come onto an actual Zelda site and discuss my ideas with all of you and to hear some of yours as well so as to share our ideas and insight into the series. You never know which topic I may pick up on each time I write for the site, though as the site’s name implies most will involve the handheld Zelda games that many tend to overlook due to the epic scope of the main console games. Each topic on which I write for the site will be chosen at random, though there may be times where some will relate to others in one way or another.

My first topic will focus primarily on one of the more curious and quite epic of the handheld games, The Minish Cap. This game seemingly tells the origin story of one of the series’ major villains, Vaati (originally a Minish sage’s apprentice who lusts for power), as well as the Four Sword that has been known to be capable of vanquishing him. In the game, Vaati comes to Hyrule from the Minish world when the portal that links it to Hyrule opens for a brief time as is customary once a century. He hopes to obtain the mythical Light Force, a source of limitless magical power…

Howdy, everyone! Just wanted to drop in and let you all know that we have some site updates!

By now it’s likely that you’ve noticed that we have a section up for The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap. Yeah, that’s right. We finally got around to having a mainstream game set up. We also have part of the walkthrough/guide up, which can be seen by clicking here. It can also be found from the main Minish Cap section, so no need to worry! There is also a downloads section that’s heading up for the game. What’s there now can be seen on the Minish Cap downloads page.

I am also pleased to announce that we have a guide in the works; however, this is no normal guide. This is a video guide. And it’s not just for an ordinary game; it’s for a special game, known as Freshly-Picked Tingle’s Rosy Rupeeland! I admit that we’ve been holding out on you- we didn’t want to get everyone all excited before we were sure it would be going though! In all likeliness, the first chapter will be out on this site about this time next week, if not before then!

Finally, you’ll notice that we’ve readjusted the sidebars. We think it looks nicer, but what matters is “do you?”. If you’re unhappy with the change, let us know, and we’ll reconsider returning them to their original positions.

Thanks again for visiting us!
