Is zeldaclassic.net a valid website?

Well it was a website I've never been to before, it offered me a username but no password in the email, and was expecting me to go there and log in... providing the website with one of my passwords. So it isn't too great a stretch to think that it was a phishing email.

It's still funny as hell

I haven't gotten any email like this. But I have looked at ZeldaClassic.net and it looks pretty nice. :P
I'm guessing we were not supposed go to it yet huh?

Heh, it actually does look pretty nice. Though the black background and Harry Potter-esque font don't exactly scream "Zelda"...

Yeah... The font looks pretty out of place. It really needs to be changed where it won't look like a " Harry Potter-esque font", lol.

Here's a quote of the email:

Note the blank password. Oh and the email suffers from a "spf=temperror" causing Hotmail to flag the email as suspicious/place it in Junk.
