  • Universal Won't Say Anything About A Zelda Theme Park, But They Don't Have To

    2 weeks ago | nintendolife.com | Zion Grassl |Anthony Dickens

    We were fortunate enough to have spent the past few days at Epic Universe, a brand-new Universal theme park located in Orlando, Florida. There’s no surprise that Super Nintendo World is the portion that had our full attention, and we’re happy to report it does a wonderful job transporting you to the worlds of Super Mario, Yoshi’s Island, and even Donkey Kong Country.
