Let’s get the controversy out of the way. Fi is a wonderful companion. I’m not trying to be some sort of contrarian on the matter, however, when I played Skyward Sword for the first time, I found Fi to be very delightful. She was a calming presence during my time playing the game and every…
I hated Link. Every time I heard or said his name, it was like poison was oozing from my mouth. I could see in my heart of hearts why Ganondorf wanted to kill him. Now, I understand that you might wonder: “Why would you hate Link?” The answer to that question is very simple and…
Well, that’s how you do a final boss! Forgive me for being a prisoner of the moment, but I cannot stop thinking about the final battle with Ganondorf in the Twilight Era. Amid all the craze, murmurs, and the dirty googly eyes (you know who you are) about the return and look of Ganondorf in…
Have you played a Zelda game that made you feel like Brendan Fraser? Yes, you read that correctly. It’s a legitimate question if you stop to think about it. Well okay, maybe not, but for whatever reason, it was the first thing I thought of when I entered Arbiter’s Grounds in Twilight Princess. It really…
Tell me if this sounds familiar: You’re streaming a song you absolutely love (or, if you’re old like me, listening to it on the radio), and you find yourself cranking up the volume and singing like there’s no tomorrow. And from that point on, that song just travels with you. You might not hear it…
I didn’t want the day to be saved. I didn’t want hope to prevail. I wanted to see all the struggle, heartache, and pain that these characters endured and find out how they were able to overcome it. I wanted a firsthand account of how Calamity Ganon took over the Kingdom of Hyrule and ravaged…
I don’t know where to begin with this one. All I could do when I think about it is just feel sorrow and sadness. Rarely do I feel that way when I am watching a game’s credits. I watched them after I beat Majora’s Mask, and I saw the people I helped live their lives.…
I did not know how to feel. Usually there was a sense of accomplishment when I succeeded in Majora’s Mask. A reward or a congratulations. And I usually take that and be on my way. Yet this was different. I never had the experience of what I accomplished would be simply forgotten by the characters…
Moments come and go throughout our lives, most of them rather mundane and unmemorable, but trust me when I say that you never forget that brief, chilling moment when you glimpse the true face of evil. This is an evil unlike any other, an evil that haunts your very soul and leaves you scarred for…
“When we are asleep in this world, we are awake in another.” – Salvador Dali A dream can be filled with delight or with terror. It can take you to a lovely place full of happiness and wonder, or it can be a frightening, horrific nightmare world. The possibilities are endless once we are fast…
Have you ever seen something that simply took your breath away? I’m sure many of you have experienced that in a variety of different ways, whether it was seeing the love of your life for the first time, nature in all of its splendor, or a piece of artwork that made you just stop, stare,…
27. No, that is not the number of times I’ve beaten A Link to the Past, nor is it the number of times it took me to beat Dark Link in Ocarina of Time. 27 is how old I was when I beat my first Zelda game. Yes, that is correct. Aside from the Super Nintendo, I have always…
