Introduction
Zelda Adventures is, in short, a great site with a focus on game content. They have some features that I was surprised such a young site could make. They also show a lot of potential, because I don't just give away the high potential button above for nothing.

Positive Remarks
The greatest thing about Zelda Adventure is the game content, as I'm sure you noticed if you've gone there. Not only are there walkthroughs and guides for most of the games, but they also include pictures which I find much more useful than plain ol' text. And do I see video walkthroughs too? That's quite an accomplishment for a site so young considering some of the oldest sites in the community don't have any. While they only have a few, it is sign that they are serious about helping gamers with the Zelda games. Another thing that impressed me was how the image gallery was filled with most, if not all, of the official artwork.

Constructive Criticisms
Someone needs to start a trend in breaking this "Zelda mold" we've gotten ourselves into. There isn't a handbook that says that Zelda sites must have game guides, an official artwork section, wallpapers, etc. You can go to any old Zelda site to get those things because almost everyone has them. Same thing with Zelda Adventures. While they have some nice content, they don't have a unique section that really jumps at you. Sure it isn't easy to think of, but what would make people who don't use the forums come back to your site? The only other criticism I'll give here is that while the layout isn't bad, it could be so much better. I'm not really sure why the focus is on Majora's Mask and Link and Ganondorf are just kind of off to the side. The welcoming message on every page gets a little distracting also, which hurt their organization score a little.

Conclusion
While 3.6 may seem low, it really isn't too shabby for a site just turning 1. Zelda Adventures has a great start on content which means they can focus on some of the special sections that people like me look for. As I said with Zelda Temple, they just need that special something that makes Zelda Adventures different from the rest. Congratulations Zelda Adventures and keep up the good work!
