Community:LegendOfZelda.com
Early History
LegendOfZelda.com was founded in 1999 by Alex Jones, better known as Link of Hyrule. Little is known about this period in LoZ.com's history, as there only two members remaining from the pre-2002 shut-down: Link of Hyrule, and the Super Moderator and Site Updater, Triforce Guardian.
Nemesis
The user Nemesis (also known as simply "Nemi"), was the first person to be left in charge of LoZ.com during an extended absence by Link of Hyrule. It was during this time that Nemi assumed full autonomous control of the site, and acted much like a tyrant. The corruption was so deep that the site was abandoned and virtually empty, left to rot until Link of Hyrule reappeared in early 2003, and announced a relaunch that did not occur until November of 2004, over a year later, and almost two years after the initial crash.
Xero Gaming
After the crash of 2002 and the relaunch promise of 2003, there were temporary forums set up on Lycos webhosting. These forums lasted for a little under a year before it became apparent that Link of Hyrule had failed to live up to his promise of recreating LoZ.com. In December 2003/January 2004, the administrators Megaman X, Remus, and Droshi all left, taking several prominent members with them and created Xero Gaming, a site dedicated to all gaming, not just the Legend of Zelda series. However, this site became obsolete in November 2004 when the promise of LoZ's return was finally fulfilled, led by Link of Hyrule, and King Krazy Link (better known as simply "KKL").
The site went down in 2003, but relaunched the following year.
By 2007 over 10,000 member and over 100,000 posts.[citation needed]
