Today is Valentine’s Day, the most romantic date on the calendar and the day where couples have an excuse to celebrate their relationship and show a little extra affection towards each other. Some visit a nice restaurant or a favorite spot, while others prefer to stay exactly where they are, like everyone’s favorite super couple…
On the surface, Kakariko Village from Ocarina of Time resembles a small, sleepy town with Cuccos on the loose and carpenters running back and forth. Even the famous windmill spins slowly. One could assume that the village would attract more visitors than it does, being located so close to Castle Town. Mountain views, lots of…
I was doing it. After so many years of listening to people talk about what a great game A Link to the Past is, I was finally taking the time and opportunity to play it on my Switch. I couldn’t wait to reach the Dark World and hear the theme music start playing, because it…
No one really likes thieves. They’re a nuisance to store owners, they make people check their pockets one more time in crowded places, and they generally makes one’s day worse. But even though thieves are unpopular, they make pretty good characters in video games, and we’ve come across them in the Zelda series several times.…
After months of not touching my save file in Breath of the Wild, I decided to spend an hour or so playing the game before turning off the lights and going to sleep. I didn’t have a plan or goal really since I finished the game years ago, I simply wandered across Hyrule to enjoy…
Last November was a rough month for me. I was drowning in assignments and group projects, I stayed up late and woke up early, and the daylight was increasingly getting shorter. I couldn’t wait for my spring semester to start, when I wouldn’t need to study extra on the side anymore and I would swap…
Those who know me know that I can play the same song on repeat for a very long time when I’m in the mood for it. Sometimes it’s “Bubblegum K.K.” from the Animal Crossing series. Other times, it’s the theme for Beedle’s Shop Ship. Today, I’d like to highlight a track from Skyward Sword which…
I’ve always been a hard-working student, wanting to do my best and aiming for the highest grade. Lately, the past weeks of my life have been filled with assignments, group projects, and homework that need to be done. I know I only have myself to blame for the heavy workload as I decided to take…
Like so many other Zelda fans in the world, “Gerudo Valley” in Ocarina of Time is one of my absolute favorite tracks in the series. One hot summer day, the song got stuck in my head, as great songs often tend to do, and it made me think of the Gerudo, how they were created…
I’m a bit of a restless sleeper. I often wake up several times in the same night, sometimes around three or five in the morning, and I can sometimes remember more than one dream once I really have to wake up. For that reason, I thought it would be fun to write them down in…
Majora’s Mask is a game filled with unfortunate events and cruel fates, making it quite different from other Zelda games as the mask-wearing Skull Kid affects so many people, not only in the game but also players of the game. I had been told the game would be a pretty dark one compared to other…
Sometimes you come across just the right song to fit your current mood or a song you didn’t know you needed to hear until you found it. For me, it was the latter as I, a couple of months ago, was getting into another stressful week of university assignments and had the fortune of finding…
Once upon a time, there was a young boy who lived in a lush, green forest together with many other children and their fairy companions. The forest was protected by an ancient, wise tree who knew that the boy was destined for something great. It sounds like something out of a fairy tale, doesn’t it?…
A few things I associate with summer are long days and short nights, trips to the beach, and strolls in town with an ice cream in my hand. Unfortunately, I can’t go to the beach for a swim or admire city buildings at the moment. Instead, I look up at the sky as the sun…
A heatwave arrived to my town about a week ago. On one of those hot days, I thought back to when I was a small child, happily playing in the kiddie pool in the backyward of the house I grew up in. The pool is no longer in the shed where we used to store…
