US, which occurred in November 2007. Registration Unless announced otherwise, Nintendo usually opened registration for Camp Hyrule in late July or early August. Although there was no limit as to how many users could sign up, registration was only open for one week. To register, one first needed to acquire a "My Nintendo" account (which Nintendo has since phased out to bring Club Nintendo to the US), and then visit the official Camp Hyrule website for further instructions. The 2007 camp was open from August 13 to August 23 to all My Nintendo members, and registration was not required. Landmarks Camp Hyrule features several landmarks which have appeared year after year on the campgrounds: NOA HQ, a chatroom exclusive to Nintendo of America employees. It also serves as the camp's command center. Trading Post, an area where updates regarding announcements, contests, and other miscellaneous information are disseminated to users by camp counselors. First Aid Hut, an area which offers users technical support. The Amphitheater, a chatroom which hosts special events, such as interviews from Nintendo officials, and the camp's annual closing ceremony. Lake Webaconda, an area which features games related to water sport activities, such as fishing and boating. The Bonfire, usually the camp's largest "general discussion" chat room. Stumpy's Stable, where users can play a game in which they feed Stumpy, the camp's mascot. The Lost Woods, a chatroom for discussion of The Legend of Zelda series, often secretly used by the majority of the veterans from the "Trivia HQ", one of the Live Chats on the NSider forums during Camp Hyrule as a substitute place to chat. The Annual Lost Woods Trivia was also hosted here by TSA. Maniac's Cave, a secret chatroom inside Camp Hyrule. The Camp Maniac would occasionally come out and boot everyone out of the chatroom.
