Story and Legend

The Legend of Zelda lends itself well to mythology and lore ... there are thousands upon thousands of details to analyze that give clue to the worlds where the games reside. It's nearly impossible to make all of the games fit into a cohesive whole, but many adventurers have tried. This section chronicles their attempts, and also makes way for in-depth analysis of the various Legends themselves.

The Tetraforce

Is there a fourth piece of the Triforce? Some people thought so. For awhile, the community was split almost in the middle, with Stalfos333 on one side and JMK on the other. This mystery has never been completely solved to everyone's satisfaction ... could the fourth piece exist?

The Mysterious Harper

Turn the clock back to the middle of 1998, when Zelda 64 screenshots began appearing that showed a very mysterious character playing a harp. This character was later given a name, but nothing else was released ... speculation went rampant and some of that has been captured here for your reminiscence.
