Community:Zelda World

Zelda World was launched July 31st, 2010 by Skermefaten and AppHunter. The site started out quite small but started to grow and improve after a series of events.

History
Zelda World began as Zelda Stuff back in 2009, however, the site was barely updated and forgotten about. The following year, the webmasters decided to redo the site, naming it Zelda World. The site began with a pretty simple layout (shown below), but in September, Kerny of Wii Zelda created Version 2 for the site; it has been running ever since. In August, Zant joined as the site's first staff member, and he was a great addition to the team. Many ideas for the site came from Zant himself. Over time, ZW held streams and gained much traffic, especially following the Winter Stream held in mid-December. They also gained three more staff members before the end of 2010. On February 19-20, 2011, Zelda World and Zelda Eternity held a joint stream in celebration of the 25th anniversary. Afterward, the forums launched.

Soon after, Callum left, and Prince Deity joined, as well as JuicyJ. The site has been keeping up-to-date with the latest news and slowly began releasing new content through a new weekly update system.

Content
Zelda World is working on game content for the Zelda games. Since they are still a fairly young site, they do not have complete sections like bigger sites, but content is being worked on and will show itself soon. Currently, they have a few guides for Ocarina of Time, and a Twilight Princess Video Walkthrough.

Also, Zelda World began a small project where Nick would write a detailed article about every canon race in the world of Zelda. Nick releases these articles every other week currently.

25th Anniversary Celebration
Zelda World and Zelda Eternity held a joint stream, where Ocarina of Time and The Legend of Zelda were completed. The stream was successful and the forums for Zelda World was launched shortly after the stream.

Mailbag
Following the anniversary celebration, Zelda World began its mailbag which was originally hosted by KickinBird71 (now hosted by DodongoBomber). The mailbag appears either weekly or almost as often. In it, DodongoBomber answers questions he receives from fans and sometimes mentions certain important matters related to the site at the moment.

VideoCast
Zelda World opened a new position for a new site feature called a VideoCast. This person would manage the new VideoCast, and they would be the star of the show. It requires a good camera/webcam, video editing skills, the ability to script creative ideas, and of course some time to devote. When the position is filled, Zelda World will start the VideoCast.

Staff
Zelda World currently has seven staff members, two of which are webmasters. Below is a list of the current staff and their roles on the site.
