Inspired by the latest trailer, DeviantArt user TylerEdlin has created this fantastic scene wherein Link has an audience with…
The Legend of Zelda franchise has some great overworld themes that inspire players to battle and explore through the vast lands. Spirit Tracks was no different in this regard, and features some fantastic instrumental arrangements that give the impression that you’re travelling across New Hyrule on Link’s train.

Last week I got the opportunity to play through the demo of Breath of the Wild, and it’s turning out to be a very complex and thought-provoking game. The feelings of awe, grandeur, and “oneness” with the environment is deeply instilled in the game, and is perfectly represented by DeviantArt user EternaLegend in their Breath…
The Legend of Zelda: Spirit tracks was released in December 2009 for the Nintendo DS.
