Hyrule is usually filled with creepy monsters and it’s mostly Link’s job to defeat them and make sure they won’t come back to create more trouble. Poes were one of many enemies in Ocarina of Time that scared me as a child, mostly because they resembled ghosts and my young self never knew what was…
For many years, I would only think about A Link to the Past and daydream of one day getting to play it myself. I listened to the Dark World theme more than what might be considered healthy, and I wondered what would make Link transform into a pink bunny, and how. I also wondered what…
Many years ago, my brothers came back from a long trip, and they were eager to show me and our parents tons of photos of the places they had seen. They were also pretty eager to give us gifts they had as well, and I was excited to see what they were. One of those…
Cute creatures and animals may not be the first things to come to mind when gamers think of The Legend of Zelda, but that doesn’t mean that they haven’t found a place in the hearts of us fans. There were adorable Cucco chicks parading after Link in Majora’s Mask, and even Link himself turned into…
There’s a bar located in the slightly less busy streets of Twilight Princess’ Castle Town which might not look very special on the outside, but contains something much better inside its walls. Telma’s Bar is quite large and spacious and seems to be almost empty, apart from a small group of people sitting at one…
I always felt like I was a little different from the rest when I grew up. I listened to music no one else in school did, I preferred manga over children’s books, and I played video games a lot more than my friends did. It’s not that I didn’t know that girl gamers didn’t exist,…
I love sweets. Chocolates, pastries, baklava, you name it: As long as it’s sweet, it will most likely end up in my tummy. But under rare, unfortunate events when I don’t have anything sweet waiting for me in the kitchen cupboard, I often search for images of sweets instead, or even videos, although I know…
The first sunset of last year was breathtakingly beautiful where I live, almost as if the sky had been set on fire, and I thought to myself as I stared in awe that this might be a sign that the upcoming twelve months would be good ones. However, we all know how the previous year…
As a new student in game design and graphics, I’ve yet to try my hand at pixel art, but it’s something I’ve been wanting to try for at least a couple of months now, or perhaps even a year. If I were to try it now, I wouldn’t know where to start and my pixel…
About two months ago, I took a break from exploring the Lost Woods in A Link to the Past and put my Breath of the Wild cartridge back into my Switch to explore Thyphlo Ruins, just north of the latest version of Hyrule’s Lost Woods. My last save was at the top of Death Mountain’s…
One day, I felt like listening to the shop theme: not the one from Ocarina of Time that I grew up with, but the more laid-back version from The Wind Waker. I put it on and kept it going in the background as I was working on a little bit of this and a little…
Every leader needs a grand home to entertain guests, hold necessary meetings, take big decisions, or do something even more important: rest! This is true even for the leaders of the proud Gerudo, but since their town is located in the ruthlessly hot desert, the home for a Gerudo chief needs to be something special.…
At Skyloft’s Bazaar, shop owner Gondo has a peculiar-looking object lying in the back that often piques his customer’s interest. When asked about it, he tells them his grandfather’s stories about how it used to be a robot that could carry anything from anywhere. But since it’s now covered in dust and doesn’t look like…
Few of us who have played Twilight Princess will forget that dramatic moment when Link had to run across the fields of Hyrule on four paws with Midna on his back to rescue her. The flame-haired imp who seemed to always have a mocking comment to tease Link with suddenly barely had the energy to…
There is one inhabitant on Outset Island that I think few of us who have played The Wind Waker can forget. If anyone has forgotten him, they simply must’ve suppressed the memory of him so they never have to be reminded of that long drop of snot again. He’s young, he’s dressed in yellow, and…
