Whilst working on the site, procrastination got the best of him, and DekuLink ended up working on the site for almost two years. Eventually, Portal to Hyrule opened doors on June 28th 2008, 6 days after Deku's birthday. In December of 2008, DekuLink saw that the site needed changing, and he came up with several ideas for new features on the site, including the Portal to Hyrule Interactive (PTHI) site. He began development on a new layout and on the PTHI site, but he lacked knowledge of PHP. DekuLink began watching the "Diving into PHP" screencast by Jeffery Way to jump-start his knowledge of PHP, and the PTHI project.

== SkullKid Crafts (SKC) ==
Skull Kid crafts is an interactive feature of the site where you can learn how to make costumes and crafts, usually Zelda or comic book related. SKC was originally going to be a flash site during the early development stages, but DekuLink found that it would be easier to use HTML. SKC has gone through several different layouts, none of which "seemed fit" to DekuLink. DekuLink thinks that the current layout is "okay, but I want to do it again, one last time. To match the new PTH layout." There are currently only three crafts up (Although DL and SK have a list of more than 50 craft ideas). This is because SkullKid is a Sophomore in College, and is very busy. She feels that many crafts will be up in the summer. Several features are planned to release along with the new PTHI site including comments on crafts, favoring, and uploading your own crafts.

The NPTH (New Portal to Hyrule) is used to refer to the site's upcoming re-vamp of the site including: the ["all user content" idea] proposed by DekuLink on the PTH Forums, the Portal to Hyrule Interactive site, the re-vamp of SkullKid crafts by adding new interactive features, and several other features around the website.

The layout that was made for the NPTH was released in early April because DekuLink was "Tired of seeing the old layout." A new layout for the Forums was also released to reflect the design of the new layout, but has unfinished areas where the default VBulletin images are still present.

The acronym "Fozee" is a term that spawned off of the original '''Fans of Zelda''' name to describe a fan of the actual series. The term was coined by Skull Kid and is pronounced "fOh-zEE".
