Delicious Cookie Link and his edible friends

This popped up over at our forums yesterday, alongside cookie versions of Deku Link, Wolf Link, Epona and a Goron, and I just had to post it because a) it is adorable and b) it gave me a sudden urge to play a game called “Cookie Zelda” in the vein of “Paper Mario” in which…

Our 25 Years in 25 Days article series was released in the lead-up to the release of Skyward Sword, so for the benefit of those who may have missed some of the days, here is an easy to navigate list of all of the articles. 1986, the year of The Legend of Zelda. 1987, the…

IGN’s Zelda Podcast

IGN has today released a new podcast which focuses entirely on Skyward Sword, discussing their experiences with the game and answering several questions from the viewers.

Nintendo and Penny Arcade team up for Skyward Sword Comic

A new feature is starting over at the official Zelda website – a five-part Skyward Sword comic in collaboration with the creators of webcomic Penny Arcade has been launched, with only the first part currently available but more coming soon. This isn’t the first time a company has enlisted Penny Arcade for a comic to…

Rupee Pillows at Nintendo

This is one of the coolest little Zelda accessories I’ve seen in a while. See those rupees in that image above? They aren’t clever photoshops, they are actual rupee pillows on a couch, and while we don’t have much context to go on, if the title of the photo is to be believed, these rupee…

Zelda-themed 3DS bundle coming to the US

A few days ago we reported that a Zelda 25th Anniversary 3DS bundle was on its way to Europe on November 25th, but we had no confirmation that it would be a worldwide release.  That is, until the new Gamestop catalogue arrived, listing the bundle at $199.99 alongside a similar Mario-themed bundle, which unfortunately seems…

Skyward Sword at 95 on Metacritic

Skyward Sword reviews have been rolling in regularly over the past few days, and out of 26 professional reviews, Metacritic is so far reporting an average review score of 95 (to put that in context, even in Metacritic’s full records which span multiple generations and game systems there are only about 20 games that are…

Entire Skyword Sword Story Discovered

I’ve actually been a bit reluctant to post this, because it’s such a huge set of spoilers just a week before the game is due for launch, and many people are weak about keeping themselves from checking spoilers, but as a Zelda website we need to provide it for those who are interested, so here…

On Skull Kid’s Intentions

As many of you know, about a week ago I posted a video about the villains of the Zelda series, and recently Axle the Beast from our affiliate Zelda Dungeon made a response video, agreeing with some parts of my video but disagreeing on the villainy of Skull Kid. Well, I’ve created a response to…

Majora’s Mask Video Walkthrough

Nearly two years after his last video guide for us, our friend and affiliate Chuggaaconroy is back once more with a new guide, this time for Majora’s Mask. Months in the making, this playthrough will feature not only 100% completion in the “getting all the items” sense, but will also show as many secrets and…
