Boy it's been a while since I've been able to update. It's been such a busy weekend... ^_^() But I'm back and ready with an update for you all!

We've got a new Ocarina song and several small, new MIDIs available for download! Check out the Hyrule Music section if your musical side is calling your name.

If that's not up your alley, then check out our new Items List for Oracle of Ages in our Games section. And check out some of our new affiliates on our Links page.

Well, that's it for tonight! As said before, we're winding down the reconstruction phase of TGA, and very soon we'll start adding new things at TGA, so check back soon!

Hey!

Wow, surprisingly, I think I just put up our first Navi hater editorial! I would assume we'd have dozens of 'em. Well, anyway, go to Hyrule News to check it out!^_^

Hey!

I come to you today, to introduce you to one of the greatest Zelda games you'll ever play. And I guarantee that 90% of you have never even heard of it. Nono, it's not one of those CD-I games. Interested? Head on over to Hyrule News to figure it out. Hyrulian War!

Another day, another Oracle page. That's right, we're one step closer towards finally getting this place done. Today, it's the Items List for Oracle of Seasons. Check out our Oracle of Seasons Page to take a peek! Also, we've got three new links up on our Links page. It's also worth a visit!

We've got two brand new fanfics added up! Well, one of them actually isn't brand new. It slipped through the cracks around a week ago, but we forgot to mention it, but it is up there. Head on over to our Fan Fiction section to check it out.

That's all for today. Happy adventuring!

Okay, I have not one, but two new fan articles for you! They can both be found on the right hand side of the Hyrule News Section. Also, to clarify on the "spy" position. We need people who:

A. Have access to information on upcoming Nintendo/Zelda projects.

B. Have some basic understanding of grammar/spelling.

Think you'd like to help? E-mail me with your list of sources and anything else thatmight help you become my personal spy.

Well, for all of you regular Grand Adventures, you may have noticed something different here today. In case you haven't, take a closer listen to the music playing, and you'll realize that's not the usual music we usually have playing. I've always been a fan of the Gerudo Valley theme, and I composed up a little remix of the song, and it goes so well with the site, so it's there. I do hope you all like it, and if you do, you can download it from the MIDIs page in Hyrule Music!

In other news, the Bosses Guide for Oracle of Ages is up! Just one more small step for the Oracle page. We've also added a new affiliate on our Links page, so go check it out. :) Until next time, this is TML, signing out.

Four days in a row! Updates are on a roll. I have another Zelda Daily Digest Article...It doesn't talk only about Zelda, but it's included, and there was no better spot to put it on the site. Anyway, I am looking for one or two "spies" to gather info about upcoming Zelda/Nintendo projects. Think you'd like to help? E-mail me.

Quick but small update for you all! The bosses guide from Ganon751 for Oracle of Seasons is now posted! I still have yet to type up and edit the Oracle of Ages Bosses FAQ yet, but it should be up soon, along with other updates on the Oracle Series.

Also, I must give a big thank you to all of you out there on the web who've visited and supported The Grand Adventures over the past few weeks. In the past four weeks alone, we've had over 51,000 visitors come to The Grand Adventures. Doing the math, that's just shy of 2,000 a day. Thank you for all your support, and we hope you keep checking out TGA for the latest and greatest of all things Zelda.

Well, I'm back from camp. Guess what the first thing I did was? Update? Heck, no, I took a shower;) But you guys were high on my list. I have uploaded a brand new article by Joseph Blanchette in the Hyrule News section. Let me tell you, this article is easily one of the better ones I've received. I strongly you to check it out. That was really the only article I COULD get up. If you sent me another one, it got lost in the mail. So, just send again, please? The "Letterbag" section of the site is not getting enough letters specifically for it, so, down it goes. I'm thinking of bringing it back in a different form later...Anyway, all e-mail that was you guys were overflowing my partner TML with can go back to me. Also, I'm writing something up for you guys. I think you'll enjoy it. It's on "The Golden Age of Games and The Gamers of the Era". OLDSCHOOL, BABY! Well, farewell for now!

Hey, hey, hey! TML here, back with another quick update! The Oracle page is coming along well, as we now have the Enemies FAQ posted! I would have gotten the Bosses FAQ up tonight (I'm almost finished with it), but it's late, I'm tired, and sleep is good.

I've got some good plans coming up here in the next couple of weeks as we near the end of our "reconstruction" period. Expect a revamp of Kokiri Village and Hyrule News soon (hopefully). Once we get that done, we should be ready to go on towards new things! And I've already got some wonderful "top secret" additions just raring to go. So stay tuned, Zelda fans, as July and August are going to rock and roll!

Hihi y'all, this is SilverWind here making her first update announcement. ^_^ Sorry I'm updating the fanart/poetry/fanfics so darn slowly, but a girl's got to live her life too. ^_~ I've just uploaded a bunch of fanpoetry, and expect the art and fanfics to be coming along soon. (heh) Again, much apologies for the wait. ^_^()

Well, I'm back, and I had a great weekend! It feels good to get away once in a while. However, because I was gone, I'm still (egad!) trying to catch up with my E-mail. I'm working it down, and I've already answered most of you who've written, but if I haven't gotten to you yet, please be patient with me.

Now for the news! It is with sad tidings that I say that Min Rho, one of the artists featured within our Art Gallery, has requested us to take her work off the site. Though she was one of our best artists and we are sad to see her go, we have some new artists who've sent us their fanart to make up for it. We have some very talented people out there, so feel free to check their work out!

We have a new Zelda Daily Digest article for you from Pigeon5! You can read it at the bottom of the page. Lastly, three more Zelda sites are up on our Links page! And that's all for tonight. Check back soon for updates on our Oracle series section, as updates to it should be coming in soon! Until then, happy adventuring!

After a busy 4th of July day, I finally decided to get back to work here. Let me say, the Oracle site is coming along very well. Most of the pages are currently being written by dedicated visitors to TGA, and some of the pages are even up! The Rings guide and the Heart Piece guide for both Oracle games are up! Go check them out!

I am still a little short. I'm still looking for people to write the Enemies Guide for both games, and the Normal/Linked Game Differences Guide for both games. If you're interested, send me an E-mail.

We've also got some new art, so go check out our Art Gallery. We have some very talented artists out there!

Lastly, I'm going to be out of town for the weekend, so if I don't E-mail you until Sunday, please try to understand. Just keep sending your mail my way, and I'll make sure to lock myself up in a woodshed until I reply to you all. Until then, happy adventuring!

Wow, July already! Boy time has flown! What with me modding the forum, fixing things up here, writing a fanfic, and composing some music, I can't believe we're already here!

But you're in luck! I know I've been promising it, but now it's finally time to deliver. We finally have the Oracle series up on our Games page! Woo-hoo! It's about time too. But we're going to need your help to help finish it. That's right! Now's your chance to become famous on TGA. Here's what we're in needs of on the site:

• A Walkthrough for both OoA and OoS (including the linked final battle)
• An Items Guide for both games (including weapons you can link from the other game)
• A Rings Guide for both games
• A Guide on where to find all the "secrets" (a.k.a. passwords)
• A Heart Pieces guide
• A list of enemies
• A list of differences between a "normal" game and a "linked" game.

Gee, that's a lot to do. So if you're interested in helping us out here, send me an E-mail letting me know you're interested. More importantly, tell me what you want to write. Feel free to sign up for more than one thing too. I'll start putting them up on our site as I get submissions in.

And just to refresh your memory, my partner Pigeon5 is out of town. If you have anything for him, please, send it to me until he gets back, and I'll try to E-mail you back as soon as I can. (I can just see my mailbox now... Oy... ) Until next time!
