Exploding Deku Nut is a large, well-established Zelda fan site. It serves as a walkthrough and guide source for every game in the series and includes a base for fan-created media. The site also has sections dedicated to Zelda-related satire, jokes, stories, original humor, the Webmaster's personal comic 'Accidentally Linked', and Theory Articles.

Elements of the site such as certain walkthroughs and help sections were removed in the eleventh revision of the site. Exploding Deku Nut also has a Zelda Trivia Competition. It is run annually from mid-June to August, with new questions posted every week. The winner of the competition gets one of three prizes of equal value, second and third choose from the remaining.

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

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.

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 and resident fascist of EDN, AkaAnonymous (formerly known as Linkisdoomed) 'acquired' the rights to use and distribute the Hyrule Trivia name in late 2006. While he waited to start his new game, he found his political views were changing dramatically, eventually admitting to communism in January 2007. In April of that same year, he launched Hyrule Trivia under the new name of Marxist Puzzle Mayhem. Over the next few weeks, as more and more contestants were roped in by his promises of eternal happiness and free dental care, he founded Lenin's Linen Laundry. The LLL went on to become the biggest linen contractor in the midwest, propelling AkaAnonymous into the wealth he had worked so hard to deprive his followers of. Today, he can still be found on EDN, converting the internet to a communist state via his own card-carrying trivia game, the Bolshevik Buzzword.
