User:Master of Zelda

Master of Zelda, aka MoZ, was introduced to the online Zelda community through ZHQ. His visits to ZHQ appealed to him greatly and would inspire him to search for more Zelda sites. His searches eventually led him to HTLOZ, where he lingered on the main site as a visitor for months, before he considered joining the forums.

After careful consideration and knowing nothing about how forum communities worked, MoZ gave birth to his ongoing presence on the web in June 2001 as 'Master of Zelda' at the HTLOZ forums. However, his first forum experience did not last very long. HTLOZ shut down and as a result, he fled to Gamers Talk Elite (which eventually evolved into Gamer Crossfire).

It was during this time when MoZ began his work as a staff member on various Zelda fan sites, aiming to eventually work up to a large-scale Zelda site like those that had inspired him. His work has generally been focused on graphic design and writing, and those skills were honed through his experiences at Zelda Vault (2003), Zelda Prime (2004), and Memories of Zelda (2004-2005).

In 2005, rumors of HTLOZ II began circulating the web. In late 2004, on the eve of HTLOZ II's launch, Gamer Crossfire shut down. Upon the launch of HTLOZ II, old HTLOZ veterans, including MoZ, immediately fled to the forums and called the new community home.

One of the most exciting moments in MoZ's online career was when he was asked to join the staff of the new HTLOZ II as News Correspondent.

In late 2005, MoZ was contacted by FireGS of ZREO fame, in the hopes of creating an affiliation with HTLOZ II. The outcome was much bigger than either of them had expected. Master of Zelda became so incredibly inspired by FireGS's work, that he ultimately became an enduring staff member, following where ever ZREO led him. With no CD covers to accompany the incredible music being produced by ZREO, MoZ dedicated himself as an artist to create a visual aspect to contribute to the ZREO project.

MoZ currently works as a staff member at ZREO as the Art Director, Associate Web Master, and CD/Wallpaper Designer. He is currently working on the Zelda Battlescapes project as Creator, Director, Lead Writer, Lead Editor, and Concept Design.
