Community:Zelda Dungeon

Zelda Dungeon is a Legend of Zelda fan website created by Mases Hagopian on August 19th, 2001. The site's main purpose is to provide the most in-depth game guides possible, utilizing screenshots, maps, and artwork. The site is part of the Telefragged / Atomic Gamer network. As a part of this network, Zelda Dungeon has a media section on the 3ddownloads file server. Zelda Dungeon has recently launched a new message board, The Dark World. Zelda Dungeon was the recipient of the Golden Mirror Shield Award in 2008.

Conception
Mases Hagopian originally gained interest in the Zelda series after playing A Link to the Past for the Super Nintendo. Years later, Mases obtained a copy of Ocarina of Time and his interest in the series had grown. Leading up to the release of Majora's Mask in the year 2000, Mases first became involved in the online Zelda community, frequently visiting the Zelda fan website known as Zelda Power. During the summer of 2001, Mases thought of the idea of creating his own Legend of Zelda website where he could provide written strategy guides for all of the Zelda games. This idea came to fruition near the end of the summer of 2001.

The Early Days
The site launched on August 19th, 2001 and was originally hosted at Yahoo Geocities free hosting service. The site initially launched as part of a network of sites about several other gaming and TV show series', including Mega Man, Final Fantasy, Dark Cloud, and Dragonball Z. The site was solely run by Mases during its first few months.
