Community:Zelda Temple

From Zelda Wiki, the Zelda encyclopedia



Beginning of Zelda Temple

Back around Dec 2006 Yusei wanted to make a Zelda site. She managed to get hosted by Zelda Legacy, under the site name of Zelda Divine, which was an incredibly new site at the time. She had no former knowledge of HTML or how to run a website, so the help of Swiftblade, one of the webmasters at Zelda Legacy, was an incredible boost in the beginning to get everything set up. Eventually, Zelda Divine was getting boring and we had a few issues of name stealing, so we had to take it down.

Karashimu, the previous owner of Zelda Genesis, then gave Yusei Zelda Temple's url (http://zelda-temple.net) and hosting. He payed for it for awhile to keep it up and running, and surprisingly, the site was much more popular under the new name.

We had some ups and downs, and for at least two months, we had merged with Forsaken Legend, and split back, like we had around the March-May merge in 2007.

Yusei got hosted by Henry of Zelda Oracles, and the site has been there ever since...

After the second split with Forsaken Legend

After the split, Yusei began to work hard on a new layout. Yes. One Yusei had made by herself. It was based off Zelda Europe's current Fall layout, however, this one had less of an appeal. It was blue and dull, and most of the images were just cut off, without any real appealing looks. It was comprised of just cut images and nothing else. The content area had no BG and was awkward. DIVs messed up and the content slide under the navibars on the right, causing it to look worse. Cutenews also refused to work properly. There was a lot of errors with this template, so after about a month or so, it as taken down. Yusei began to make version 2 right away, this time to look green and cheery besides a depressing blue.

November 2007

Yusei had actually gotten up version 2 and it looked nice. This one was based on the main zelda site, made by Nintendo. That was Zelda Universe. You can probably guess what Yusei added to make it like the main site. It was the dots around the navi and content areas. It was good, but this layout also had errors for those who used Internet Explorer. It would would move the header to the left completely, as well as the links above the header. I'm guessing it was because the one who coded it (Master Link of A.D. Zelda) had not used hotspot hyperlinks and simply cropped the images and put a hyperlink over them.

May 2008

After a few months of constantly creating version 3, we were happy to say that Version 3 was finally completed. It was based off one of the blue layouts that Zelda Europe has made, as well as an early gold version. This one has problems mainly under the banner and just above the actual content in terms of the coding, but ah well. This also spiked a little more visits to the site.

After May 2008

Switched to our own hosting, thanks to Angelus. Hosting is being payed for by Ansem-X while Beta and Arctic Fire pay for the domain name.
