NEW September 2026 — the domain is mine again.
This was the first domain I ever purchased. Screen name GTWY. Originally registered in 1999 so we could post MIDI files, GIFs, walkthroughs, and generally have a website dedicated to Zelda. I was 12.
It has been 26 years since the registration expired. I've done my best to put this site back how I remember the original design to be. Sadly no data survived.

I was feeling nostalgic, so I put together a list of my favorite N64 games.

Just bought a Switch 2 with a Pro Controller
so I can play the Ocarina of Time remake that is coming out
5 November 2026. Full circle. 1998 cartridge, 1999 domain, 2026 hardware.
MIDI filesFan-transcribed Ocarina of Time MIDI sequences from The Midi Shrine, the same kind of files we hosted in 1999. Originally composed by Koji Kondo. Hey! Listen!
Mark, Josh, Andrew, MikeI am curious if Mark, Josh, Andrew, or Mike from the original ZeldaFiles.com project are still out there somewhere.
I believe Josh was a buddy of mine from Hawaii. I think that Mark was “Mark the Man” from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I can't remember who Mike was — the May 2000 news was signed Mike, and Michael Cooney did the fourth layout. Maybe the same guy.
Shout-out to TheAmazingXemo as well. He wasn’t on ZeldaFiles — that was later, the Half-Life 2 thing in 2003.

Sites I actually remember
The Millenia of Zelda — one of the many Zelda sites that inspired me as a kid. Still in the GeoCities archive. Credit Garrett (The Sage of Light).
Everything Zelda 64 — from 1998. Lots of content, but the best pages are Top Secrets and Hidden Items. Credit Mattspeed.
Cyber Predator’s Zelda64 Collection — from 1999/2000. Lots of detailed content on different parts of the game. Credit Cyber Predator.
BlueMoon’s Banjo-Kazooie page and his Ice Key page. I remember him. I had those pages too — Banjo-Kazooie, and a whole shrine to the Ice Key. His are on the Wayback machines. Mine are not.
The old internet, still out thereThe domain was registered in 1999. Alexa didn’t crawl us until 20 May 2000 — that’s a late snapshot of a later redesign, not proof we weren’t live. The original homepage looked a lot more like this one. What Wayback kept is the fourth layout, by Mike Cooney:
News, Forums, Fan Center, Staff. Poll: “Are you getting Zelda VI?” Affiliate: Zelda Heaven. © 2000.
Site updates and guest bookI will be digging through my old archives and posting more content if I find it — memories of old gamer friends from long ago. If you were there: sign the guestbook. Contact info goes to me only.
Hey! Listen! sign the guestbook
A few years after this domain: I was sixteen, Valve got hacked, and TheAmazingXemo and I put up a website because we were mad Half-Life 2 might not come out. FBI, AIM, a log, a DoS. That’s a whole other page.
