A Tragic Case 
The Zelda Legacy Tournament
                           was supposed to 
be something that would show the best site 
right? From
                           the start of the voting it 
wasn't like that...
So I begin my scoop on
                           my thoughts about 
the tournament. 
For such a long time, I had been thinking
                           
of doing something like this, but this came 
before. I was amazed how
                           nicely the voting 
systems were set up, and I congratulate 
Steve of Zelda Legacy.
The tournament had seemed like something 
cool, something
                           that would prove Zelda 
Vortex that it was a good site. Finally the
 fans
                           would get to vote for their best 
Zelda site. Truely an awesome site for the 
community all to stumble across one simple 
page. 
Something was
                           wrong about this tournament. 
I hadn't caught it at that moment.
So as
                           the days went everything seemed nice, 
we had won our rounds, I was hyped up. One 
thing I forgot about the site, what is the 
goal of most Zelda Sites and including 
ours? The goal is to be the best source 
for all your Zelda Information, am I 
correct? Well we lost that. We wanted to 
become the best. A greedy goal which no 
site should be founded on. The community 
doesn't need a 'best site,' it needs a 
site that will concentrate about the true 
essence of Zelda, we here at Zelda Vortex 
had lost that temporarily. 
On another note, the voting was corrupt, 
based on how popular a site was, not based 
on its content, its layout, or its 
originality. I would like to thank Doofy 
from Ganonstower for showing me the light. 
I was utterly disgusted that sites with no 
content, not a good layout, horrible 
grammar, no originality could have ever 
gone so far. I am disgusted with myself. 
I didn't take the time to go and view each 
site before I voted, I just voted on a 
blind note, and what people told me to do. 
To sum things up on this note, the 
competition is just another popularity 
contest.
We have now lost our roots, lost our 
dignity, now our
                           friends. While 
encountering this, we had lost friendship 
of other webmasters
                           for specific reasons. 
My heart is broken honestly, and I feel 
that an event like this should never 
occur again in the history of the community
 in order to have a strong relationship with
everysite, so that nobody feels left out, 
nobody goes back wanting more, and most of 
all, we don't loose our goal as a Zelda 
site. Something truely honorary to be, a 
Zelda site owner, no matter big or small, 
you always have fans who think of you as their 
favorite site, and in
                           the end this 
competition proves nothing. It just proves 
that you can
                           encourage more friends to vote 
for you that anybody else.
Now, I please
                           ask that webmasters use this 
for their site as a reminder of such a 
thing
                           like this. Something like this should
never be created again and should be stopped.
Also, I like to honor Fred for Zelda Planet 
for making the wise descision for having his
                           
name removed from the competition.
