In my school newspaper, the Daily Trojan, there was this ad for Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask, with stuff about a special edition cover for pre-orders and a website at RadioZelda.com. So I went there, and NOWHERE was the game Zelda referred to except the Majora's Mask in the background and the date October 26, which is the game's release date. All it has is some stuff about a parallel universe and some convoluted article about the end of the world. What the hell???

Well, that is quite disturbing. It's either:

A) Gene Rays' more professional, articulate brother...

B) An actual joke meant to look like a Gene Ray site...

or

C) A Fanboy site seemingly unrelated to the game, yet still is, as evidenced by the background picture...

I think C. But it is quite disturbing. Parallel worlds? No more Jerry O'Connell for this guy.

...or maybe not.

Upon futher review, I think they're bonkos. Well, serious at the very least. They have links to Here , which seems pretty serious.

However they do have this:


Do these guys look serious?

And this: http://www.radiozelda.com/read_0901.html

I'm so dumbfounded.

There is a Zelda game planned for the Nintendo GameCube (AKA Dolphin)

I'm hoping the first game is a Metroid game for that system, personally...

"Joint Research of Alternate Mondial Occurences..."

I think the key word in that sentence in 'joint.'

I just heard a radio ad today on my way to school for radiozelda.com, so this HAS to be legit. This definatly reminds me of Datadyne.com, which was actually registered by Nintendo. Datadyne was the evil company in Perfect Dark. The website was supposed to reflect the people who would be in the company. It looks authentic and everything.

Also notice Nintendo of America is listed as a sponser on both sites.

UPDATE:
Z-Science.com and RadioZelda.com are both registered to Nintendo of America.
