So, how are we feeling about the layout tweak. Is it better than the previous one? Worse than? Any other improvements you might suggest?

All opinions (good or bad) are appreciated!

It's going well so far. The navigation tabs up top look much fresher, and the Quick Links are in a better spot now (and you added a cool, different Twilight Princess icon to boot :)). I only have two suggestions, but don't worry about them too much:

1) It may be time for a new header banner, but it's not a necessary change. The one we have right now is still good, but a new one may be a fresh look.

2) As mentioned in my comment on the main page, I think that the Link-with-his-candle picture should be switched up, perhaps with something Twilight Princess-related. I know you were going for a Phantom Hourglass approach for it, but TP is far more anticipated than PH as of now (I believe...). It would be a bit more exciting, in my opinion. Key word my. It's your site  ;)

Just a few thoughts. Great continuous effort on the site, Jack  ;D

From just coming on here real quick and seeing them for the first time, yeah, I like them.  They somehow stand out more than the other ones and may make it easier for first-time visitors.

maybe.. more Twilight Princess stuff

The layout looks much better.

EDIT:  The image of the Goddess of the Sand (if that is her) should at least stay if the banner is going to change.  Or at least get another pic of the statue.

I couldnt have said it better myself Blank! I agree the new icons for ask ezlo, Twilight Princess, Phantom Hour Glass, and Caption game catch the eye, and are a bit more colorful, or so it seems. However i also agree that the head banner could use a tweak. Possibly a collage of all the legend of Zelda games. Links look has changed many times over the years. I made something in art, with all of links different looks. Its just my opinion though. Small and insignificant. ;D Good luck jack

My real Poison team in BW2. They all have perfect natures and EV's. I went the extra distance and bred the right IV's into them. Come at me bro.

just a suggestion for the banner,
you could have an "evolution" thing with the original link on one side going through all the links to TP link on the right. and it the background you could have a desert area from each game blended together to tie it all in.

Hi no Seijin

Evilbob, that is an excellent idea.  I second that motion.

Hi no Seijin

I certainly hope so, seeing as how this is his topic!

I like this new layout. It's clean, refreshing, and, look! A clock at the top of the screen! ;D

For improvements, I don't really see the search text box (I'm not blind, am I?), and it would be cool if you had more easter eggs in your site, like the Leever at the top of the screen that says something when you move your cursor over it. That would be sweet!

But, other than that, I'm satisfied. Nice job, Jack!

Hi no Seijin

Will that Leever ever tell us how many Tingle's it takes to screw in a lightbulb?  Put in an answer, please.

Oh, we already know the answer to that one: three; one to hold the lightbulb and two to spin the ladder. ;D

Crud... I need to change that.
