One thing I really enjoy about new Zelda games is the first time we get a good look at Link. Every iteration of our hero has something that sets them apart from the others. More often than not, it’s the outfit at the beginning of each game. Link usually rolls out of bed, still groggy…
A federal judge in California has dismissed the Joy-Con class action lawsuit against Nintendo. The lawsuit was brought against Nintendo by two Nintendo Switch owners who experienced drifting issues with their Joy-Cons. Ultimately, the judge ruled against the pair, citing the End User License Agreement “which disallows lawsuits and forces aggrieved parties to go into…
Our YouTube production team has been busy this past week, pumping out some fun content to keep your playlist exciting! Here’s what’s come out this past week. When it comes to The Legend of Zelda, few topics are as controversial to fans as the Zelda Timeline. Why are there so many Links and Zeldas, and…
The DS era of Zelda games doesn’t get enough love. Phantom Hourglass was great, even though it suffered (in a very minor way, in my opinion) due to the DS touch controls. Too many people slept on that amazing game, and the undeserved hate it received led to even more people ignoring the superior sequel,…
The Minish Cap features a completely different Hyrule than any we have ever seen before. It’s a world full of extremely interesting locations. Our central hub is a bustling town square, filled to the brim with things to do and books to check out. We get to traverse Hyrule Castle, which is massive for a…
The Wind Waker was the first Zelda game I actually owned. No, I didn’t buy it with my own money, but it was specifically bought for me and only me. The other Zelda games we had were the Legend of Zelda Collector’s Edition disc that came with my GameCube, which was for everyone in my…
Hot take alert: The Moblins are secretly the main antagonists of the 2D Zelda games. Well, at least a few of them are. In Link’s Awakening and the Oracle games, they are pig-like kidnappers who rally around some sort of king or gang leader. They often pose a bigger threat to the people of Labrynna…
I like cute things. I have written extensively on the subject on this website and probably will until I draw my last breath. There are so many adorable things in the Legend of Zelda franchise, that it would take me decades to write an article about everything. There would be a twelve part miniseries on…
Link’s Awakening‘s soundtrack is just chock full of bangers. The boss music goes so hard. That musical sting when you get your sword at the beginning of the game? Iconic. The dungeons? Don’t even get me started. But the music that slaps the hardest is found at the top of the map. Tal Tal Mountain…
Ah, fall. Orange and brown leaves blanket the ground and my breath hangs in the air as I herd my kids into the car each morning. And let’s not forget about the pumpkins! My front porch is completely covered in these gorgeous gourds. In case you can’t tell, I absolutely adore this time of year.…
Recently, I’ve been going on a binge with Oracle of Seasons and Oracle of Ages. It’s pretty much all that I write about anymore. In fact, I have been so annoying about it in our Columns chat group that one fellow writer has started playing the games for the first time and another member added…
I have decided to start a fight with this article. I’m sure that the comments section will be civil, and that there will be nuanced discourse about what I’m going to say. I lay myself at the feet of the Zelda community with this humble (and absolutely correct) opinion. Vaati is a much more interesting…
Look, I understand I’ve been pretty harsh on some of the dungeons and areas in the Oracle games. I really love these games, I swear I do! There are tons of fun areas to explore. In order to traverse a lot of these places, you’ll need to recruit one of three animal assistants: Moosh, the…
Skyward Sword is such an underrated game. I know, it’s not a hot take, but it’s true. I think it got a lot of hate because of the motion controls which, in my opinion, is a weak excuse (except from an accessibility standpoint of course). It’s a really great game that deserved the remaster it…
This is very important and topical news. Nintendo of Japan recently released a statement warning players to stop using the Nintendo USB Wi-Fi Connector and Nintendo Wi-Fi Network Adapter, if they were released between 2005 and 2008, due to security concerns. These were primarily used for the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection network service for the Wii…
