Zelda Weekly, formerly Zelda News, is back with some great new events and fan content to highlight! This week, Amanda dives into Zelda Dungeon‘s annual charity marathon which ran from Saturday, July 16 to Saturday, July 23. ZD was raising funds for the Starlight Children’s Foundation. Although the marathon is over, you can still donate…
Stone Cold Steve Austin, noted professional wrestler and beer drinker, was recently doing what we all love to do when bored at work: play video games. Specifically, Breath of the Wild. WWE tweeted some great behind the scenes photos from the WWE Network show The Broken Skull Sessions, one of which included Stone Cold playing…
Welcome to the second installment of my new article series: “Areas That Annoy Me in the Oracle Games”. Look, I love these games. I think that the secret system is so great and so well-thought-out that it hurts me that more games don’t do it. (Come on, Pokémon; you insist on selling me two versions…
Look, Phantom Hourglass gets a lot of hate for literally no reason. I will argue until the day I die that Phantom Hourglass is an incredible, completely flawless game. Seriously, it’s flawless. Except for the Ocean King segments, and the controls, and — well, a few other things. Look, I understand the criticisms, I just…
Fear of the unknown is something that we all have. Whether it is moving to a new city or even just walking into a building you haven’t been in before. If you’re like me, you scout for the closest fire exits, see which windows are closest to the ground, what objects around you can be…
Remember Oracle of Ages? It was so cool! You could travel back and forth through time with a harp, which is cooler than an ocarina and you know it. You got cool animal companions which includes a kangaroo with boxing gloves, because this is a bonkers universe where anything can happen. You could link up…
A Link to the Past has one of the most moody and atmospheric openings in all of Zelda, save for Majora’s Mask. It’s raining and you’re all alone in an empty house after waking from troubled dreams. You follow your uncle, only to find him stuck at the bottom of a hole, seemingly dying. It’s…
Link’s Awakening DX was the first Zelda game that I actually played. I had maybe dabbled with a few before, notably The Legend of Zelda even though I didn’t know what was going on, but Link’s Awakening DX was my first Zelda. I have so many fond memories of this game from when I was…
I’ve only played Twilight Princess once. I played it on my old GameCube in my freshman year of college. Basically, I had to rush through it because I set a goal to finish it before the end of the school year…and I started in April. So, I don’t really remember a whole lot from the…
I think it’s pretty obvious at this point that I love The Minish Cap. In the year that I have been with Zelda Universe, I’ve written three articles about this amazing game and, today, I’m going to make it four. In my last two installments, I talked about The Minish Cap’s Hyrule Town Square and…
My original draft of this article was literally just “HOW CUTE IS THIS?” over and over again, but my editors said that, while accurate, I actually need to write something about the piece. So, here’s my second draft. We are all fans of cute things. Whether they be Koroks or kittens, adorable animals and creatures…
A Link to the Past has seen a bit of a resurgence lately thanks to the advent of randomizers. It’s a really great game, so I’m glad that it is getting a bit of a renaissance. I played a lot of A Link to the Past in middle school, so it’s a game that is…
Okay, the title is bit misleading. It wasn’t truly the happiest moment of my life, as those days would come later with my marriage and birth of my two kids. Oh, and when I bought my Switch, that was pretty cool. No, this is what I said to my best friend after I beat A…
In my previous Tingle’s Maps column, I extolled the virtues of Hyrule Town Square from The Minish Cap. It got such a great atmosphere, and the square is always bustling with people. I have always really loved the Town Square, but there is so much more to Hyrule Town than a four sided object. Today,…
Winter is officially upon us. The temperatures are below freezing and scarves and mittens are taken from their hidey holes to keep us warm. It’s the only time of year where it becomes an ice level outside your door. I love it. The snow, the cold, the smell of a subzero wind, it’s all amazing.…
