In a surprise tweet, the official Hyrule Warriors Twitter account announced the games’ final DLC pack is arriving sooner than its previously announced winter launch window, and it’s bringing two new fighters with it. Both Ravio and Yuga from A Link Between Worlds will be clashing with the already-expansive roster of the hack-and-slash madness that is Hyrule Warriors and its 3DS…
The NES Classic Edition is impossible to pre-order. The few retailers who have put up pre-orders so far have seen their allocations get claimed in hours or even minutes. It’s another “Amiibogeddon,” and Nintendo fans are rightfully frustrated and impatient to see Nintendo products once more in short supply. One hopeful buyer took to Twitter…

Grass’s mortal enemy has a new trick up his green sleeve. While the Zelda series is well-known for its Easter eggs and amusing strategies (Who would guess Ganondorf was a fan of fishing?), there are few secrets that aren’t undiscovered among the fanbase. So it’s always a pleasure when a new find is made, or a trick is revealed that…

Along with new dungeons,…
The number of things to do in Breath of the Wild compared to previous Zelda titles continues to impress. One of the more intriguing mechanics is the new cooking system that allows players to combine up to five ingredients to create a quick life-giving snack, a toasty meal to keep warm, or some dubious food that… well, will take…

The NX rumor mill shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. In fact, it appears to be picking up speed with every day that goes by without an announcement from Nintendo.

It was almost a year ago when we shared with you Matt Vince’s wonderful movie posters imagining a crossover between the beloved Studio Ghibli and The Legend of Zelda, when rumors of a Netflix deal were running rampant. While that rumor was eventually shot down by Nintendo, it hasn’t stopped Matt from creating this beautiful “what if”…
The Wii’s swansong, Skyward Sword, is now available on the Wii U Virtual Console, and NintenDaan has shared the first thirty minutes of the game. Like many Wii games, Skyward Sword’s graphics may not have aged gracefully — largely due to its Impressionism-inspired art style — but it’s no less a game worth playing if you’re a Zelda fan and have, for…
The 2016 GameStop Expo is set to begin tomorrow, September 14, and Kevin Pereira has shared a few pictures of the presentation on his Snapchat.

Skyward Sword may be one of the most devisive games in the Legend of Zelda series, but there’s no denying the game took the franchise into a bold new direction with its 1:1 controls while providing many unique experiences. The motion controls, Impressionism-inspired art style, and linear gameplay — complete with, at times, an intrusive companion — are often…
