Camp Hyrule closes its doors

While Camp Hyrule is not the training grounds for future Links like how Princess Peaches are churned out, it was still a place for those of us who found ourselves dreaming of green tunics in our sleep to go and enjoy the company of like-minded others. This year, that is not the case, as Camp Hyrule reveals that it has closed its doors. The reasoning behind depriving us all of the experience? Bad luck.

Turns out, they're thinking that the 13th anniversary of the camp, combined with their natural propensity for disaster, is enough to have them call it quits. Instead, they're offering up a contest, allowing folks to enter on August 13th at the chance to win a one-of-a-kind life-size Link statue. Fair trade? We'll leave that up to you.

And, if you attended in the past, share your fond memories with us, won't you?

Spending a childhood in Hyrule

The Escapist celebrates its 100th issue (congrats!) with a fascinating read in Marty M. O'Hale's piece A Childhood in Hyrule. For many of us, Link's first adventure in Hyrule was our first adventure game, if not first game period, and something that we will never forget. And The Escapist takes a look at all that in the only way they can: incredibly deep analysis and interesting observations. Seriously, if you don't read The Escapist, start right now.

Remixed medley of The Legend of Zelda's soundtrack

One of our favorite touches of the new Phantom Hourglass' trailer shown at this year's GDC event was its use of the reworked Hyrule Castle theme from The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past. If there's one thing we love, it's retro tracks brought back for another round. That's why we're featuring a medley of songs from the original Zelda game (NES) remixed by electronica musician Ochre, for your Sunday listening pleasure.

We imagine that trying to add anything on top of Koji Kondo's classic work without ruining it is a difficult task, but this arrangement doesn't miss a step. Ochre's interpretation blends the 8-bit pieces with his own playful style, taking the listener through a six-minute daydream of Link's adventures. If you're a fan of lush synths and summery rhythms, we definitely suggest downloading this song along with Ochre's other remixes and original offerings at his site.
