Exploding Deku Nut also has a Zelda Trivia Competition. Each year, they hold a large trivia competition, with new questions posted every week. The winner of the competition, gets one of the 3 prizes that are being handed out.
Over the course of its existence, Exploding Deku Nut has had in excess of ten meticulously and detailed layouts developed solely by the Webmaster, Darth Citrus. A new layout leading EDN into a new direction was revealed on February 15, 2010. This new direction was revealed to be going back to EDN's main vision, focusing on satire, creativity, and comic-mischief. New additions to the site include a small view of EDN's Citrus Cam, where Darth plays and reviews games live with the community, and Digital Zelda, where submitted content is drawn, painted, or digitally produced by community members.

Hyrule Trivia was started in May 2007 on the sites official forum, as an idea to promote the website. Since the beginning, there have been over 70 unique participants in the event. The purpose of the trivia event is for everyone to kick back with some Zelda related fun, and possibly enhance the knowledge that they currently have. Questions range from basic to advanced Trivia to Music, Images, and Riddles. Since the beginning, the member who places First overall each year in the contest is given the chance to either join the team responsible for the competition to help in the following year (and for a total maximum of 2 years), or to sit out that next competition.
 
Winners of the Trivia by year:
 
*2007 A - Zeldaeinstein
*2007 B - Crow
*2008  - Alpha
*2009  - Nabeshin
 
Hyrule Trivia has since been spearheaded by the original Winner, Zeldaeinstein, since the original Host was unable to complete the 2007 B season. The members who aid the effort are known as 'Hyrule Trivia Sages' who create images, various questions, and help advertise the upcoming Season. June 2010 marks Season Five of Hyrule Trivia.
 
Current Hyrule Trivia Sages (and duties)
 
*Zeldaeinstein  - Forum Moderator, Host, Question Developer
*Darth Citrus  - Webmaster, Image Developer (scoreboard), Consulting, Host of 2007 A
*Deku Lord      - Forum Moderator, Image Developer (banners), Music Question Developer, Consulting

Hyrule Trivia started on the now defunct website Hyrule Online. Ex-Staff member of EDN, AkaAnonymous (formerly known as Linkisdoomed) acquired the rights to use and distribute the Hyrule Trivia name in late 2006.
