Well, just a few days left to Christmas. I love Christmas, I hate retail jobs during this time, but I love getting together with family. With this in mind, this will be the last update this year. There is just too much stuff going on now and it is real hard for me to make it online.
On another note, however, each Zelda section should look the same now. Everything should be spaced out the same way on every page. This overall makes the site look more organized that every page is created and treated the same way. I like it. This also allows me to make space for pictures. That is the next project, getting picutes for the items. I am not entirely sure how long that is going to take or how often I am going to work on it, but it will slowly get done.
With that, I bid you farewell and I say goodbye to 2009. Everyone have a great holiday season, and The Golden Land will be back up on January 1st with a recap post showing the greatest accomplishments of 2009 and 2008, since there was no recap last year.
Until Next Time... Happy Holidays and a Happy New Year from...

Well, today Spirit Tracks has been finally added to the storyline. Make sure you read the red text, it basically states that there are spoilers, make sure you do not read this document if you do not want any of the games ruined. You have been warned. In addition to this, the Force Gem guide has been added to the Spirit Tracks page. There are two force gems that you need to do if you wish to get all the heart containers. Also, more items have been added to the ST section as well. Until Next Time...

Today, Skeldritch finally gets a picture. This was the last boss I needed a picture for. In addition to this, the encyclopedia is finished for now. Remember to tread softly, there may be spoilers. Next up is the Force Gem guide to ST and the storyline needs to be finished. Until Next Time...

Alright, today I enhanced the characters section in the encyclopedia. I have added a few characters and also added, per character, what game they are from, that way people can see that. No new Spirit Tracks stuff as of right now, I am still going through the game and more will be posted once I get to those places. Until Next Time...

Today, more bosses were added to the page in the encyclopedia. Be careful, there is a boss in the list that would be considered a spoiler. In addition to this, all the monsters from ST have been added alphabetically to the monsters list, also in the encyclopedia. I still need to get characters added to the encyclopedia as well, and then fix up the Spirit Tracks page a bit more, and add Spirit Tracks fully to the storyline. Until then, I will keep working on the game and finding out more info. Until Next Time...

Well, today is the day for The Legend of Zelda: Spirit Tracks. I have yet to play the game and won't be able to till tomarrow, however, the Heart Containers and Inventory Items are complete in the section. In addition to this, the bosses page in the Encyclopedia shows another boss and added another name. No Spoilers as of yet, so no worries. However, in the next few days, things will be added that may be, so tread softly. Also, the characters have been added to the Encyclopedia. This is a small list of characters that I think is needed to follow the series. If you think another character should be added, simply email me and tell me the character and why. Until Next Time...

Well, tomarrow, the last and final day we need to wait is today. And finally, doing some research and the game so far is scoring 4.5 out of 5 and 9 out of 10. Outstanding news indeed. Unfortunately, that is all though, so until the launch of Spirit Tracks, where The Golden Land will be here to post all your item and heart container needs.
1 DAY UNTIL SPIRIT TRACKS.

As we all sit and wait forever for the release of Spirit Tracks, websites, nintendo, and all fans alike prepare for the launch. If you actually look around some Zelda sites, it is amazing how much everyone is just waiting now for this. There isn't much to report, well until the game comes out that is. With that said, when I get my game, my site will be updated as soon as it can be with all the new characters, monsters, bosses, items, and heart container locations. Keep in mind, that this may reveal some spoilers, because once the story is played through, it will also be added to my storyline, located in the Compendium.
With that said, the Minish Cap new Zelda book has been released. With that, I added a new picture of all the books together, keep in mind, that A Link to the Past book is shown, but is not out yet. That releases in February. The books can be found on the bottom of the Spin-Off link at the top.
2 DAYS TO WAIT UNTIL SPIRIT TRACKS..

Not to take away from the launch of Spirit Tracks, I have already posted what would have been today's update in the Upcoming Zelda Titles link above. Check it out, I made a pic that shows the comparison of the Master Sword and the girl in the pic. I hope you like it.
3 DAYS TO WAIT FOR SPIRIT TRACKS...

Well, once again today I have found out where two more items are located in Spirit Tracks. The Snake Whip and the Bow are solidified items and locations. In addition to this, the encyclopedia has been updated with new pictures. I added Cragma, the boss to the Fire Temple, and Malladus, the supposed evil train that many think is the final boss in the game. I also found a name for another boss but I have yet to get a pic.
FOUR DAYS TO WAIT....

Well, with yesterday's update it almost seems like this is trivial to what has happened to the site. But anyway, here it is, today, so far, I have added three known bosses for spirit tracks under the encyclopedia, which is found in the compendium section. Only three at this point. Also I have found out where some items are located in the game as well, so the info is placed in the ST section.
5 DAYS TO WAIT STILL.....

First and foremost you can see that I did get done with my project, but are probably confused on where your favorite things has gone too.
1) First, all the zelda games have gotten their own section, and with that they all get thumbnails to help expedite your way through the website quicker and more efficiently.
2) The Encyclopedia, Bestiary/ Bosses, Races, Rupee and Force Gem guide are all one document. Character will be placed within the same document as well, but for now I am waiting for the launch of Spirit Tracks before that happens. With this update, the Bestiary is now better organized. Each boss is organized by game and named, along with this, the monsters picture has the name of each creature next to it now. However, I am unable to retrieve pictures for every creature so they are still listed under the picture of them. Go there and check it out.
3) The Speculation section and the Hylian Text section has been deleted from the Compendium, which you can still access by clicking on the book above.
4) The Zelda spin-off section is the section on where you can find information about Zelda games that have been cancelled, or created by another company. This is also the place where you will find the info on upcoming Zelda books that come out once ever 2 months.
5) There is a small link now under tht thumbnails, this is where important Zelda info will be placed for upcoming titles.
6) Another link has been added above the thumbnails. It is a special thanks and legal page. Kinda a place where I can thank others for helping me out and a place where I place rules on how I feel if you borrow things from my site.
7) Due to inactivity, the forum link has been deleted from the website.
8) A sweet triforce logo is now on the bottom of every page.
I hope with this updatte there is more space for future stuff and it is better looking and friendlier as well. Spirit Tracks comes out in just 6 days, so the info from that will be placed in its appropriate section. I also hope that you all enjoy the update and keep coming back for more Zelda goodness.
Until Next Time...
