The Zelda series has entertained our imaginations with creative locations for the past 36 years. Many of these locations are as charming as they are dangerous, but that’s the fun of it all! And as it turns out, many of them are based on real life places, so I thought it would be fun to explore…
Upon taking a tour through Link’s Room in Skyward Sword, now we travel to another part of the Skyloft Knights Academy and give another notable resident’s room a visit! Now is the time to explore none other than Zelda’s room! Zelda’s room in Skyward Sword was a place that I thought was impossible to access.…
Link’s room is diagonal to Groose’s room and next to Fledge’s room. I’d never noticed before that Link and Fledge’s rooms aren’t divided by a wall but panels, so they could see one another’s floors. I wonder which came first: the dividing panels or the residents? Since Link’s room has a bed, it allows you,…
The homes of the Picori, or Minish in The Minish Cap, are so adorable that they warranted an entire article about them. The Minish are extremely tiny creatures who reside all over the Kingdom of Hyrule. The game’s main villain, Vaati, was once a Minish, and Link, our hero, transforms himself to their level thanks…
If I was a writer for Zelda Universe last October, I would have probably written about Breath of the Wild‘s Skull Lake to celebrate Halloween.

The Desert of Mystery in A Link to the Past is probably one of the most pleasant deserts in the Zelda series. Yes, pleasant. The entrance is simple and requires no puzzles or wardrobe change, unlike some Zelda titles. It’s located in the bottom-left corner of the map and is home to the Desert Palace,…
Before I get into the meat and potatoes of this article, I want to make it clear that I’ve unfortunately never completed Oracle of Ages. I would, however, like to in the future. All of the information in this article is researched from various Zelda sites, Akira Himekawa’s manga adaptation, and my own knowledge from…
Skyloft appears to be the epitome of an atmospheric civilization in the Zelda series, and honestly, it probably is. Twilight Princess is home to the City in the Sky where the Ooccoo reside, and The Minish Cap features the Wind Tribe who live in a sky society called Cloud Tops. While these cloud civilizations are…
The first time I stepped foot inside the Nintendo World building in New York City, I felt a sense of euphoria equivalent to eyeing your true love from across a crowded room. I was 12 or 13 during my first visit, and it quickly became one of my favorite places on Earth. This was during…
