The title has been in development for two and a half years but it’s finally nearing release, and the team announced today that it will be available on Xbox One, Windows, Mac and Linux on March 30....

They looked legit Remember the puppetsfrom Nintendo’s E3 press conference? They were the best part, and they weren’t even game related! Well it turns out they wereactuallycreations from Jim Henson’s workshop.

In fact, some people find it easier to disassociateZeldawith the CD-i installments altogether. One such person isLegend of Zeldadirector Eiji Aonuma....
