As a massive Zelda fan for almost twenty years, I’ve learned to appreciate the series in ways that extent beyond simply playing the games. While I love conquering dungeons and fighting bosses, I’m also enthralled by the bits in between those sequences. I love the music that helps to annunciate emotional cutscenes, along with the…
I’m just gonna say it; I’m not impressed with this year’s official Legend of Zelda calendar. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still planning on proudly displaying it in my room but, at the same time, I can’t help but compare it to the designs of previous years. The 2025 calendar features official art from Tears…
When I think of pesky Zelda enemies, a few options come to mind. Of course, there’s Moblins, Keese, Ropes, and my personal favorite, the Octorok! Before I go any further, I want it to be known that I’m strictly talking about Red Octoroks; the species present in Breath of the Wild and Tears of the…
Back when Tears of the Kingdom released, there were several marketing promotions to get fans excited for the launch. For example, Nintendo World in New York City had a midnight release party along with a Zelda themed Switch. These various promotional initiatives did their jobs correctly and Tears of the Kingdom went on to be…
Australian clothing brand Black Milk recently collaborated with Nintendo on a Legend of Zelda line for the second time. Many of the clothing items are based off The Wind Waker, Majora’s Mask, Ocarina of Time, Twilight Princess, Breath of the Wild, and of course Tears of The Kingdom. These beautiful pieces are crafted with the…
It’s always a treat when My Nintendo Rewards has a physical Zelda item in the mix. Over the years I’ve collected a decent amount of Zelda prizes that I cherish. My Nintendo Rewards are prizes, either digital or physical, that can be earned by playing various Nintendo apps or by registering new games. This entire…
Skyward Sword has been a fan-favorite since its release back in 2011. The plot, characters, and contribution to the Zelda timeline has been significant and important for Zelda lore for 13 years. With a great game comes great merch, and that’s exactly what we’re going to be discussing as I’m going to talk about the…
I am a Zelda collector. My collection over the years has grown in a nonlinear way and has been generously fed by the likes of friends and family. My favorite place to nab items is from eBay, and more recently a Facebook Zelda Marketplace, where individuals like me sell pieces of their collection. Once in…
Phantom Hourglass is my third favorite Zelda game, with The Minish Cap and The Wind Waker in second and first place. As a Zelda collector, I of course want items from my favorite games the most. Some of the merchandise that came with Phantom Hourglass can be difficult to find today if you’re a collector…
The Wind Waker is not just my favorite Zelda game of all time, but also my favorite video game in general. I love everything about it! The sailing replaced the well-worn horseback riding mechanic, and exploring a flooded Hyrule was definitely a new and exciting experience. While sailing across the Great Sea, you’ll come across…
Club Nintendo used to be the coolest thing ever. The system was simple: you would buy a game, redeem the points from said game, collect the points up, and then have an exclusive Nintendo reward sent straight to your house. Shipping was free (I remember this because I didn’t have a credit card), and in…
The point of the Tingle’s Maps column is to write about fun and interesting places present throughout the Zelda series, and this article is no exception, as I intend to discuss some cool locations present in the very first Zelda game. Now, the graphics in The Legend of Zelda are clearly reflective of the time,…
Collecting rare Zelda items is my favorite past-time! I love scoring a rare find on Ebay and it’s always exciting when loved ones support your collection during Christmas and birthdays. My ultimate goal is to have the largest Zelda collection in the world, however, that title is already obtained by Norwegian resident, Anne Martha Harnes.…
The final battle in Skyward Sword takes place in the most tranquil location; a space between the sky and water. Link is in the sky, yet walking on water. Although he is used to being in the clouds near the sun, this dreamy location is different. Before and after the final battle, this location is…
One of the rarest Zelda items in existence belongs only to the most aggressive and passionate collectors. This extremely rare item was a Nintendo Power reward back in 2001 and there is only a single known collector who has one. The golden item is as rare as they come and I only own it in…
