Community:The Odyssey of Hyrule

The Odyssey of Hyrule (OoH) was founded by Video Gamer X (VGX) in April 1998 and is considered one of the major Zelda sites of the late 1990s. The site gained popularity through its efforts in uncovering glitches and Gameshark codes for Ocarina of Time. Spinoffs for Majora's Mask (The Oddity of Hyrule) and The Wind Waker (The Fairytale of Hyrule) were created but never came close to the popularity of The Odyssey of Hyrule (Although a significant group of message board members arrived through The Oddity of Hyrule). VGX redesigned the site for Twilight Princess, however updates ceased in March 2006. Odyssey of Hyrule's host has discontinued their operations and VGX claims that he no longer has control of the content. Recently, however, the site was "rescued" by the owners of vgchat. Thus, the site has moved to a new URL, and the latest update from Video Gamer X is as follows:

"''Wow, thanks for archiving a majority of my old sites and such! That's appreciated.  I have the original files still, been transferring that old stuff from computer to computer and hard drive to hard drive over the years.  To be quite honest it's been a long time since I've really worked on anything related to my "Video Gamer X" sites.  I in many ways am an entirely reborn person, a couple chapters ahead of that era.  I was something lesser and different back then.  The life I live today was but a dream to me then.  As far as time for updating?  It would be far and few between at best.  I have a very robust schedule, between my work, and my social experiences, the adventures I go on, my internet time is only a fraction of what it ever was when I was younger.   I would like to restore them to their prime as far as fixing all the missing files that somehow deteriorated into some server abyss. When I get some extra free time after work I'll go about re-uploading some of the old stuff. It just might give me some small inspiration to do something with them again. Thanks for keeping this bastion of the early homesteader's internet 1.0 preserved.''"

VGX had an active message board until September 2001, when nearly all of its members packed up and left to form their own board, a secession that stemmed from an incident concerning VGX's views on the September 11th terrorist attacks. The board still exists today as Khakain.

Khakain is a closed and hidden community that formed from the Odyssey of Hyrule. It lives in extreme privacy and relative obscurity, and wishes to stay that way.
