Tingle’s Maps: Spring of Courage (Breath of the Wild)

Breath of the Wild has some impressive ruins. There’s Hyrule Castle, the Temple of Time, the Coliseum, and a handful more throughout Hyrule. Not a huge amount survives from the time just before the Calamity. More, however, survives from the ancient times of (presumably) the Sheikah. One of these ancient structures is the Spring of…

Tingle’s Maps: Dah Hesho Plateau

In my playthroughs of Breath of the Wild there are specific Shrines that I use as my key fast travels points. While there are technically closer warp points to where I’m heading, I don’t have the greatest sense of direction. So I like to start from a familiar point and head out from there. One…

Fashion retailer BlackMilk reveal Zelda collection in full

Australian online womenswear brand BlackMilk has finally unveiled the rest of its Legend of Zelda collection — which we first reported last week — and it is stunning. Featuring a range of official graphics and patterns inspired by Zelda, this collection draws inspiration from six Legend of Zelda games. The pieces are really varied in…

Tingle’s Maps: Akkala Peninsula Ruins

Chances are you’ve been here briefly early on in your Breath of the Wild playthrough. Maybe, like me, you’d completely forgotten about it. There are so many beautiful and interesting places to explore in this game, but I’m glad I returned to this one. As far as I can tell, this place doesn’t have an…

Tingle’s Maps: Ancient Tree Stump

Breath of the Wild is easily the game I return to most frequently. The exploration is unparalleled. In my attempt to seek out every corner of this Hyrule, I came across another interesting area: the Ancient Tree Stump. I found it using Hero’s Path Mode to identify places I’ve not traversed, and when I zoomed…

Tingle’s Maps: Ruined Mountain Peak Cabin

In my quest for 100% completion of Breath of the Wild, I’ve been using Hero’s Path Mode to explore all the places I haven’t seen yet. By looking at where I haven’t been, I’ve found some pretty cool places. One of those that caught my attention was the ruins of a cabin on a plateau…

Nintendo comments on increasing appeal of Switch Online Service

One of the more interesting comments to come from Nintendo’s 81st Annual General Meeting of Shareholders was that of Shuntaro Furukawa answering a question about the Nintendo Switch Online service. The president of Nintendo was asked numerous questions of interest during the meeting, but when asked if the Nintendo Switch Online service would have more…

Tingle’s Maps: Astral Observatory (Majora’s Mask)

Majora’s Mask is often considered the weirdest Legend of Zelda game. Along with its strange and unsettling plot, its locations are pretty odd too. One that’s always stuck with me is the Astral Observatory. The Astral Observatory is somewhere that you get to explore early on, and it sets the tone for the rest of…

Tingle’s Maps: Marine Research Lab

While many character models were reused from Ocarina of Time for the development of Majora’s Mask, the buildings are surprisingly unique. In fact, many are more fantastical than those in Ocarina of Time, which adds to the peculiar feeling that its sequel has to offer. Just look at the Marine Research Lab, and it’s no…

Realm of Memories: Happy Mask collecting

When I was a kid, I didn’t know that forums and walkthroughs existed, and nor did my friends. Instead, we traded solutions to the puzzles that the Nintendo 64 games provided us. We would sometimes keep little notes in the instruction booklets, but more often than not, the real challenge was remembering how we solved…
