The Hylia was founded on October 1st, 2005 by Mike "TSA" Damiani and mdta|Martin "mdta" Anderson. Originally specializing in Zelda content, the site evolved beyond the Zelda franchise and expanded into the realm of all things Nintendo. In October 2007, TSA sold the website to Yusuf Mullan. Before leaving The Hylia, TSA promoted Daniel Friedlaender as the new Webmaster of the website.
ZHQ2
ZHQ2 refers to the successor to Zelda Headquarters (ZHQ), founded by TSA in September 2002. Included in the new site was an archive of the original Zelda Headquarters. ZHQ2 was originally an attempt to revive the original site, but was changed into an original project in March 2003.
In October 2003, Realms of Hyrule was launched through ZHQ2. Realms of Hyrule is a massively-multiplayer text-based online role-playing game created by Kevin "Hermit" Daniels, Melora and TSA. Their goal was to recreate the "Hyrulean Adventure" interactive story from the 1995 Nintendo web site. The RPG moved to its own server following the transition of ZHQ2 into The Hylia. It is currently the largest Zelda-based RPG forum in existence.
In October 2005, TSA closed ZHQ2 and opened a new site, The Hylia, in order to change focus from basic Zelda coverage to a more news/editorial oriented fan site.
