Update: Zelda not coming to an online game near you
Category: Wii, Posted: 06/29/2008 at 11:34AM EDT by Brendon Lindsey, Managing Editor
Sorry, Zelda fanboys, but Zelda Universe isn't an upcoming Zelda online game, despite the great write-up and team effort by Eddie and Justin on the original article. Turns out it's a rating from 2000-2001 for a Zelda flash game on the official Zelda site which is now gone. You can tell it's an older rating based on the games surrounding it if you do a simple search for all online ratings at the ESRB's website, and then go through the pages until you get to Zelda Universe.
I'm not entirely sure why it stayed quiet for so long with all the Nintendo fanboys out there (you'd think eventually someone would notice a Zelda rating with an online note and start spreading the word), but alas, it is not to be. Of course, you could always LARP your favorite Zelda scenes and moments with friends... Maybe get a little of the original Legend of Zelda in there, then recreate Link's progression through time in Ocarina...
Actually, that's a stupid idea. Just go back to dreaming about an online Zelda, and in the meantime if you want to satisfy your craving, play any number of decent online games where people are bound to have named their characters Link, xXxLiNkxXx, and even L1nK. Unfortunately, it's the closest we'll get to online Zelda. (For now?)

MMO? Hmmmm
you never know, this could be on the computer. thatd be bawling.
zeldas adventures!!!
Zelda Universe is the name of the official Zelda website...?
I'd be down with that.
This will be nothing but a flash.
wut
Zelda Universe is their website's name, so it's likely something to do with flash games they had/will have on the site, especially since it says online and not Wii/DS. VC games are labeled under Wii, and Nintendo's only other online game (Animal Crossing) is under DS and online, so this is something not on a console or handheld.
it would have probably ruined the series like the cd-r's I know I"m late if anyone sees this pm me let me know lol :P
