4. The Big Question
Community Announcements-- There will likely be another NCFC event happening in October of this year. This will be the third time the event has happened. For the past two iterations, Zelda entries from ZFGC have dominated the category and hopefully for this year's event this will be the same. If anything, it is something to be ready for.
-- AoDC has been brought back onto the moderation team. In addition, unless I missed something, the Staff Profile page for the site is now fully updated.
-- There is about one week left to work on your entries for Contest #9. There seem to be many participants so it seems like there will be a lot to see once the contest's development period is ended.
-- The user rank images mentioned in the last Weekly are about halfway done. The Midnight themes badges are ready to be updated, but until the Kokiri badges are finished they will not be implemented.

Please tell me he's still working on this! If Zelda were to become a TV show or movie, then this would be it. Best. Flash. Ever.
Getting Lost in a Virtual Waterworld.http://www.zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=34055.0I'm lost. ;_; I saw Ruto, got the small key, then got another small key, got the map, got the compass, used both small keys. One on the lowest door and the other on the 2nd floor's door.
Weekly AwardsTeamwork of the WeekZFGC's Graphics Ripping Project
http://www.zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=34025.0I'd like to organize a massive graphic ripping project. We need to get groups of people to take on specific games and rip as many tiles as we can. Once the massive rips are finished, they'll be optimized and intrinsically organized individually.
Anyone interested in participating post here, and I'll put your name down on this list next to the task you want. More than one person can work on the same game; just be willing to work together on it. You can also work on more than one project at a time, but please try not to overburden yourself.

Sprites of the WeekDeku_stick's MC Link's Awakening Attempts
http://www.zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=33963.0I'm real bad at animations so I will just make the basic stuff
Design of the WeekSprite Collector's Snow White Project
http://www.zfgc.com/forum/index.php?topic=34011.0Here's a link of what I've done so far. This will be the base for all of the pages except that the dwarfs won't move on any of them but the home page. There is a short sound file embedded the goes with the dwarfs movements, but it only seems to work in IE. The nav bar has some roll overs that Safari doesn't seem too like all that much but should work in IE and Firefox. It's centered currently, so the sides look a little strange. When it's done, there will be some kind of a welcome page that you click to enter the site. It'll open in a popup window sized at 1024x768 so the page will look like it's supposed to. Thoughts? I love feedbaaack!

Sooo~ This is one of the reasons I haven't been updating my map. This is out last project for my web class. We have to create a promotional site for a movie that doesn't have one already. I looove Disney movies and this classic is coming out again in October. So, this is the home page, or at least the composition for it. Thoughts? Anyone have any ideas for improvements?
Big QuestionLast week's question: What is one imaginative item you wished was in the Zelda series?
Summary of answers: There was some favoritism to items from previous series, but otherwise answers tended towards items that had a magical effect.
This week's question:
With swine flu a problem in the real world, would Ganon or Moblin flu ever be a problem in the land of Hyrule?
