Eternal Temple of Time

Many of the individual website pages are still not updated for the new site layouts. I’m working on it!
Active websites/projects have the website URL below (but not clickable) until the site updates are complete.
Thanks!

Eternal Temple of Time 88x31 linking button. An animated GIF that cycles through images of Link, Sheik, and Zelda as they appear in Super Smash Bros. Melee.

Eternal Temple of Time was founded by The Silence (though they may not have gone by that name until a little later) in November 2001. The only archived updates happened between November 2001 and early December 2001, but a copyright notice implies that the site may have been updated in 2002.

Very little of this website remains, so it is difficult to know what content it had. The archived content is focused on excitement for the launch of the Nintendo Gamecube and Super Smash Bros. Melee as well as disappointment in the art style of The Wind Waker.

The Silence later redirected the primary URL to a general gaming and anime site called “Fatal Silence” that remained active until 2003.
