In July, we reported that a new Chain Chomp figure was available as a prize for winning the Trendy Game in Link’s Awakening, but Nintendo had not shared any official information about the new item until now.

Last weekend at PAX West 2019, our friend AbdallahSmash026 was given the opportunity to record direct feed footage of the new Link’s Awakening demo.

In July, the CEO of Inti Creates, Takuya Aizu, told Nintendo Force magazine that he would like to remake Zelda II: The Adventure of Link.

Last September, we reported that Breath of the Wild had dethroned Ocarina of Time as the best selling Legend of Zelda game in Japan. Almost one year later, we can report similar news for sales in the United States. On August 16, Mat Piscatella of The NPD Group shared that Breath of the Wild has…

Last week, Cadence of Hyrule was released and became the very first indie-developed game with Legend of Zelda content.

On Tuesday, Nintendo producer and director Eiji Aonuma played Link’s Awakening on Nintendo Treehouse: Live. He was demonstrating playing through one of the new Chamber Dungeons, and we learned a lot during the segment. Early during his play time, Aonuma briefly opens the inventory screen to adjust his equipment. Most of what we see can…

Diablo is a series that needs very little introduction, but, despite being one of the most famous video game series for PC, it has never been available on a Nintendo platform until now.  Diablo III was recently released for Nintendo Switch, and even though I have played many other Blizzard games, I had never played…

Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the NecroDancer feat. The Legend of Zelda was released for the Nintendo Switch in June 2019. It is a crossover between The Legend of Zelda and the Crypt of the NecroDancer series. The game is a roguelike at its core, combining randomly-generated elements with rhythm-based gameplay. It features items from both…

Zeltik has recently started a new series to explore the many back stories found in the Zelda series, titled “Links to the Past”. The first episode discusses the fall of Akkala Citadel, which was one of the last places to fall to Calamity Ganon in Breath of the Wild.
