Community:Zelda Eternity

Zelda Eternity is a merged Zelda fan site that was created between two small Zelda sites called Stone Tower Temple (Mike) and Zelda Haven (Link) created November 1, 2008 and opened November 15, 2008.

Introduction
Sometime before its creation, Mike received an e-mail from Link asking about a merger between the two sites. With the amount of content that ZH had plus the designer that STT had as well as a little content, they formed this site. About a week later, Mike and Link soon started losing interest and things kind of plummeted badly. Mike wanted to start a site called "Smash Shrine", dedicated to Super Smash Bros. Brawl. He had a decent amount of information up but didn't feel like running it any more because he wanted to get back to the Zelda site. In late June 2009, Zelda Eternity merged with a small site called "Hyrule Field", bringing aboard Cloud as a new webmaster.

Features
Zelda Eternity is looking to become a Zelda site that covers all sorts of Zelda features, such as very extensive information and guides for the Zelda series, a vast collection of Fan works, unique interactive features for Zelda fans, an active Zelda message board and a respected member of the Zelda Community. Live Gaming Streams have become a special feature of sorts, along with a monthly podcast and a weekly mailbag. The layouts on the site are designed and coded by Mike. His style of layouts are simplistic while backing up that simplicity with a great design to boot. Version 5 however was not designed by Mike. The layout started off as a forum theme designed by Ilu from Knights of Hyrule and was coded by Cooldogs_1 from Zelda Dungeon.

Content
The key feature of Zelda Eternity would be game content for the Zelda games, to provide help in specific areas of a game. Still being a young site, Zelda Eternity does not have complete sections like bigger sites, but it does have nearly complete sections for Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, The Minish Cap, and Phantom Hourglass with sections for The Wind Waker, Spirit Tracks, and Twilight Princess slowly building their way up.

Community Forums
The Zelda Eternity Community Forums opened August 10, 2010. As of January 2011, the Community Forum has accumulated over 163 members and over 9,700 posts. The "Zelda Eternity 5.0" theme was designed by Ilu from Knights of Hyrule. The forum theme was later turned into layout Version 5.

Podcasts
The Zelda Eternity Podcast started August 30, 2010. This podcast, co-managed by Falcool and SpaghettiWeegee, is a monthly podcast that features Falcool and a few of the Zelda Eternity staff discussing things that have happened on the site during the past month, as well as discussing a few other things. The podcast is constantly evolving as the staff try new things each month as well as featuring a special guest most of the time. On December 31, 2010, the "2010 Recap" podcast was posted, discussing things that happened at the site during 2010 as well as an announcement of some new staff members.

Mailbag
On November 29, 2010, Mike joined the Knights of Hyrule Mailbag, hosted by Ilu of Knights of Hyrule. The focus of the mailbag involves people sending in a question regarding the Zelda series where Ilu and Mike answer the question to the best of their ability, while discussing their opinion on the subject as well.

Staff
Zelda Eternity currently has ten staff members, two of which are webmasters. Below is a list of the current staff and their roles on the site, Site Staff page order.
