Ahhh... those sure were the days... seems such a long time ago now, over seven years infact, when North Castle started out as a fledgling site, determined to be a 'friendly' fansite that would knockdown the supreme reigners, ZHQ - the first EVER Zelda site on the 'net. The days when Zelda-Temple, HTLOZ, The Grand Adventures, IZC and TGL were the forefront of the community, along with North Castle, when sites were springing up almost everyday, so many that you couldn't keep count! I reminsce back to those days and the fun all us guys had, working together to create such a lively and wonderful online community. Now years later, times have changed remarkably.

Sadly, most of the aforementioned sites have gone. However, some of us are still going. Like Odyssey of Hyrule, for example, which must be pushing around 8 or so years also, and IZC and The Grand Adventures have made a welcome return also. Some of the established places like Ganon's Tower, LegendsofZelda.com and Zelda Legends are still up and running, plus there's a few others that seem to be going strong. Maybe there's hope yet for the community :) So be sure to go and visit these wonderful sites; the webmasters have worked hard to keep them up and running!

I try my best to collect every site URL that I can, but it's impossible. I can't do it without your help, people! Since I'd like to keep adding to the list, you can email me site URLs. Also, since many sites often fall into disuse, or move, the links can become out of date. I don't have time to check them on a regular basis, but if you spot a dead link, be sure to email me about it at; juliet@northcastle.co.uk
