The 10 most beautiful locations in Breath of the Wild

Breath of the Wild is entrancing for one main reason: its world. It may not be packed full of sidequests, but it’s absolutely brimming with gorgeous scenery, whether it’s a beautiful forest, a snowy mountain, an active volcano, a breathtaking landmark, a desert oasis, or so much more. It’s the joy of discovering all these…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: Twilight goose on the loose

I remember once hearing the writer of an animated show saying something along the lines of, “Great stories come from unlikely pairings.” Well, this is definitely the case in my latest pick for Yuga’s Art Gallery. Who would have thought Twilight Princess and Untitled Goose Game would make for such a hilarious combination? Artist Anilede…

The 10 best songs from Twilight Princess

Koji Kondo once again worked his magic when composing the music for Twilight Princess. Much like previous Zelda installments, numerous songs from its soundtrack have become staples of the series. Most were original compositions that fans have since replayed and remixed countless times over the years, but some were beautifully recomposed from classics, such as…

Medli’s Melodies: An Upbeat dj-Jo Outset Island Remix

To be honest, I never realized the “Outset Island Theme” could become more upbeat than it already is. But veteran remixer dj-Jo recognizes that within every catchy song is the potential for some emphatic synth sounds and bigger beats. They’re to classic tracks what chocolate drizzle is to a dessert you would starve yourself all…

Tingle’s Maps: Lake Hylia (Breath of the Wild)

Lake Hylia is one of the most famous locations in the Zelda series. It’s recurred in multiple installments, usually with submerged water-based dungeons, making the lake a key destination in Link’s many quests. In Breath of the Wild, there may not be a temple hidden in Lake Hylia’s depths, but it still managed to become…

Bombers’ Notebook: The Happy Mask Salesman

The Zelda series has its fair share of eccentrics, and it’s safe to say that Majora’s Mask accounts for many of them. Most intriguing of all, though, is the Happy Mask Salesman. He’s been the subject of speculation from fans ever since he first arrived in Clock Town. Where did he come from? Why does…

Yuga’s Art Gallery: The Hero and the Wind Fish’s Egg

Any Zelda fan will recognize that giant, pink-spotted egg the moment they see it. Many will be sent back to their childhood when they explored Koholint Island, while others may recall recent memories of playing the remake. I fall into the latter category, having only experienced Link’s Awakening this year. And yet, when I see…

Bombers’ Notebook: Octavo

The Zelda series has a variety of unconventional, non-Ganon antagonists. We’ve seen the likes of the Majora’s Mask, Zant, Vaati, and Yuga, who range from purely chaotic to carefully calculating, albeit with equal ill intentions either way. In Cadence of Hyrule, Ganon/Ganondorf is once again the main antagonist, but for a while, we are led…

Medli’s Melodies: The Water Temple remastered

Whether you love or (most likely) hate the Water Temple in Ocarina of Time, it’s hard to deny that its mystical music is amazing. Every instrument in its melody perfectly captures the sound of cascading water, and lets you know that the temple you’re traversing is an elegant relic of the past. And now, you…
