The Hylia - Camp Hyrule Day 1

Home | News | Camp Hyrule Day 1




Today was Day 1 of Camp Hyrule, and it didn't get off to a great start. For starters, most people couldn't even log into the site, and if they could, nothing was really working. About halfway into the day, however, things finally began to work, and fans began pouring into the camp. But to the surprise of many, Camp had radically changed...it was no longer the outdoor adventure we all had known...it was now in outer space!

Yes, once again, Camp Hyrule shocked us all. The camp appears to be themed after several Nintendo DS games, including Phantom Hourglass, but the entire theme seems to be based on Super Mario Galaxy for the Nintendo Wii. The Nintendo Wii also serves as the HQ this year, with several familiar places returning. Two mainstays not returning were The Lost Woods and Samus' Ship. But, there's still a chance they will make an appearance. Afterall, no Wii games are really highlighted at Camp Hyrule, yet.

Today's activities included naming your cabin, submitting a flag for your cabin, doing an NOA face painting, and writing some Camp Hyrule song. Some of the old flash/shockwave games also made a comeback, and the only new one I saw so far was a replica of "Missile Command" entitled Meteor Shower. I am kinda glad the camp went back to a better flash layout, even though last year's was themed after Twilight Princess. Still, this camp doesn't feel like the other one's so far, but maybe things will change for the better tomorrow.

There's also George Harrison tomorrow, and then the NOA Localization Team Wednesday, and the Nintendo Power crew Thursday for the special guest chats. And don't forget - the ultimate prize this year is a Nintendo Wii, which one lucky camper will be walking away with at the end of camp. Oh yes, my Lost Woods Trivia is still going on...it's just been renamed to "Hyrule Castle" Trivia this year.

Probably the most unappreciated form of media from the Zelda series is the manga. Part one of our three part segment focuses on a potential Zelda film inspired by the manga.
