Zelda and Final Fantasy–they’re two series that have been around for decades which both helped their development companies of Nintendo and Square, respectively, gain financial status and global fame. However, despite their similar roots in high fantasy and adventure, the two franchises have never had a chance to interact, especially since Final Fantasy has not…
Satoru Iwata, president of Nintendo, does not approve of playing games on devices that aren’t solely made for gaming. With that in mind, it’s not likely that we’ll be seeing a Zelda game for smart phones or tablets any time soon. However, if you are a fan of such portable gaming, then perhaps Oceanhorn is…
Have you been looking for a way to express your love of Zelda through the clothes that you wear, and yet you’re hoping for something other than the typical T-shirt? Your time has come, as King of Games has created a Zelda-themed parka, featuring several subtle references to the series all across its surface, rather…
If you’ve ever browsed through Zelda videos on YouTube, you may have come across the highly popular “Dark Sage,” a fan production made a few years ago by Coloniser.

“Brawl in the Family” is a series of comics featuring Kirby and many other characters from Super Smash Bros. Brawl, including Link. Each of the strips is relatively short and definitely a good source for laughs, so it’s great news that Link has made his way into one of these comics. In it, Mario, Kirby,…
Green tunic, Master Sword, and maybe some pointy ears: if you’ve seen one Zelda cosplayer, you’ve seen them all, right? Wrong. Cosplay photographer LJinto just released some photos from Otakon 2011, several of which contain Zelda-themed costumes. However, looking at the image above shows you that these differ from the typical Zelda cosplay. Rather than going for…
Zelda II: The Adventure of Link is often known as the “black sheep” of the Zelda series, but it is actually a vital foundation in establishing the lore seen in many future games. The Triforce of Courage was introduced, the concept of Ganon returning from the dead was first used, and Dark Link made his…
Over the years, the Zelda series has amassed a large number of famous quotes. “I AM ERROR,” “23 is number 1,” and, of course, “Hey, Listen!” are just a few that fans have clung to throughout the past two and a half decades. However, one quote is older than them all: “It’s dangerous to go…
In order to aid Zelda fans in their celebration of the series’ 25th anniversary, Club Nintendo released a limited edition set of two Skyward Sword posters and one 25th anniversary poster, as seen above.

Many Zelda fans were disappointed when Nintendo didn’t release a golden nunchuck to go along with the golden Wii remote that came with special copies of Skyward Sword. True, an official model was made available via Japan’s Club Nintendo, but it has not been put on the market as a mainstream item. Then along came…
Over the past quarter of a century, Link has appeared in thousands, if not millions, of works of fan art. This one may be the most adorable, and also one of the simplest, yet. Simply and elegantly, Andy Helms from “Ok Totally” has stripped Link down into a single green square, and yet somehow managed to keep him…
Zelda characters and themes have made numerous appearances in non-Zelda games over the ages, including Link as a guest character in Soul Calibur II and an entire Zelda level in Super Mario 3D Land. However, the most popular and definitely the most highly-publicized of all such appearances can be seen in the Super Smash Bros. series. Link…
The Sheikah: they’re perhaps the most mysterious out of all of the peoples of Hyrule, and definitely a fan-favorite for over ten years. Now you can take a little piece of the “shadow folk” with you wherever you go, because 15 Bit Gamer now has a Sheikah hoodie, seen above, for sale. Sporting the tear…
Every now and then there is a piece of fan-art that is so amazingly detailed and beautiful that one might mistake it for being a piece of official art. Deviant Art user L-DAWB has created a long, flowing mural of many of the major characters and races in Skyward Sword, creating a work of art…
Since its release in Japan, Hyrule Historia has been getting a huge response from the western world, with fans worldwide crying out for non-Japanese copies to be released.
