Community:Ordon Village

Introduction
Ordon Village, first created in April of 2008 by Arctic Fire, is a new face in the Zelda community. Recently assumed control of by Alexander in January 2009, the site has begun to prosper and grow with the assistance of Axle The Beast and Shelbs alongside Alexander.

History of the site
As mentioned, Ordon Village was previously owned by current Hyrule.net administrator Arctic Fire, who had originally created the site. From there, the site had gone through many owners and the path of Ordon Village was unsure as to whether it would remain a Zelda site or not. With the assistance of several webmasters like Killswitch from Zelda Legacy, however, Alexander was able to turn the site around and place it on the path it is right now.

Zelda Fansite Festival
Alexander, having always wanted to run a set of awards in the Zelda community did just that. As announced in May 2009, The Zelda Fansite Festival was launched. Similar to that of Exploding Deku Nut's acclaimed "Golden Item Awards", users in the Zelda community were allowed to nominate anyone or any site they pleased for several site AND webmaster awards. However, the awards would/will be decided by a staff vote on the part of the Ordon Village staff. The nomination period is May 20th - June 17th, with one Webmaster and one Site award being announced Monday - Friday of the following week. More information can be found at http://zff.ordonvillage.com
