Zelda Nintendo Power
 
The last Nintendo Power before E3 has arrived to members. This is the last magazine to hit news stands before E3. Inside the issue was another Inside Zelda interview with Toru Minegishi, Koji Kondo's right hand man in the music area of Twilight Princess. There's some cool fan artwork, some fan who thinks he has the biggest Zelda collection, and a promise of a full feature on Phantom Hourglass next month.
 
There really isn't much to be hyped about in this issue. The Inside Zelda interview was pretty dry, but Minegishi reveals he thinks Twilight Princess is darker than any other Zelda game. He also says Link saves Hyrule, but I am not sure if he meant that's his goal, or if he actually accomplishes this. He also says the game becomes more relaxed as you go on. A little odd, but it's only strictly about the music - this isn't the story guy afterall.


Zelda Fan Art

There is then a feature on these pieces of art done by hardcore Nintendo fans, some of which are renderings of Link and Zelda. One of them really looks like a Power Puff girls version of Link and Navi, but the other pieces are ... interesting. Still, if you are a fan art enthusiast, you will enjoy this section.
 
In the community section, there is a small tidbit about a fan who sent in photos of his collection. Nintendo Power says it is easily the most impressive Zelda only collection they've seen. Heh, perhaps I should submit photos of my collection? Nah, I won't. Not the type of thing I really think defines who's a bigger fan or anything. I will admit he has a pretty good collection, but it's mainly US-only merchandise and lacks some of the rarer things. Also, I saw no games!

Zelda Toru Minegishi

 
Besides a mention of the statues coming out this fall based on The Legend of Zelda, which we reported on a few weeks ago, there is a promise of a big feature on Phantom Hourglass next issue. Unfortunately, this won't get out until well after E3, so I don't think it will contain anything terribly important that we won't learn in just over a week.
