That was EGM that had Zelda Classic featured, not Nintendo Power. There was one screenshot from one of Exate's quests, 2 sentences, and a website link.

But even still, drawing in a bunch of users that makes Nintendo see Zelda Classic as a way to make money, they take it over, and ZC goes to hell (If it hasn't already...)? No thanks...

Maybe it's just me that feels this, but everything just seems to go to crap once it stops being humble.
