There is a resurgence of adventure games in the same style as The Legend of Zelda. It can be a little bit overwhelming to hear about so many new Zelda-like games after so many years of there being few games to scratch that Zelda itch between releases. Even so, I am very excited that we are seeing…
This past summer, Hallmark began releasing Nintendo-themed ornaments, and it is finally The Legend of Zelda‘s turn. The latest ornament features Link, sporting his original design from The Legend of Zelda on the NES, and includes a fun surprise: the ornament plays the Zelda theme song! Hallmark began shipping the ornaments earlier this month, and they are still…
Reverie is an adventure game with gameplay inspired by classic 2D Legend of Zelda games and an art style inspired by Earthbound. Though it is quite short, the game is also quite charming, and I found it hard to put down. Admittedly, I am a nostalgic fan of all the games that inspired it, but I think…
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is Nintendo’s big news at E3 this year, but Pokemon: Let’s Go, Pikachu! and Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee! were also on display. I had the opportunity to play the Pikachu version for about ten minutes, and I really enjoyed the experience! Even so, ten minutes does not allow much time to really experience a Pokemon game, and…
Detective Pikachu is one of those ideas that came out of nowhere. Pokémon is no stranger to spin-offs, but I am certain that no one expected the mascot of the series to be given a voice and be employed as a detective. Even so, I was intrigued when the game was announced… only to be…
As announced earlier today, we have now launched a brand new Breath of the Wild-inspired T-shirt in collaboration with The Yetee. This new shirt is our final announcement for Celebration of the Wild, our month long celebration of the first anniversary of the release of Breath of the Wild.

One month ago, today, we observed the one-year anniversary of the release of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. On that day, we announced a month-long celebration, but now that celebration must come to an end. In the past month, we have published more than 50 new Breath of the Wild articles and guides and…
Last week, Patricia Summersett, the voice of Princess Zelda, joined us for a brief drawing competition as part of our on-going celebration of the one-year anniversary of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The drawing competition served as a fun invitation for you to ask questions to Patricia for a discussion that will be…
It’s been a while since I have published an update from our guides team, but they have been hard-at-work writing guides for Breath of the Wild since launch day. We currently have more than 50 guides for Breath of the Wild, and there are many more currently in development. As part of the Celebration of the Wild, the…
Open your eyes. Zelda fans have heard those three words a lot recently. They were the first words spoken in the first trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild at E3 2016. They were also the last words spoken in the last trailer for Breath of the Wild. They are the first…
Nintendo of America recently announced on Twitter that Prima’s digital eGuide for A Link Between Worlds is now available as a My Nintendo reward. You can unlock unlimited access to the A Link Between Worlds digital player’s guide by redeeming 20 gold points at the My Nintendo website. Just like a printed player’s guide, the digital eGuide…
More and more, fans have turned towards their favorite video games in order to pen their own thoughts and analyses of their beloved franchises. Author Jared Hansen has created a book analyzing fan-favorite Zelda: The Wind Waker. The book is titled The Symbolism of Zelda: A Textual Analysis of The Wind Waker, and it analyzes every aspect of The Wind…
Japanese publication Asahi has published new comments from Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima. In his remarks, Kimishima says the Switch is priced to allow families to purchase multiple Switch consoles and suggests that Nintendo 3DS units could be reserved for young children. The idea that Nintendo wants families to buy multiple Switch consoles is no surprise;…
Here’s an unpopular opinion: I adore Zelda II: The Adventure of Link. It took me years to learn to love the game, but now that I do, I find myself wanting to play it regularly. Just a couple weeks ago, I spent time standing in lines at PAX South, and Zelda II was one of my go-to…
It is difficult to find good adventure games that focus on exploration and puzzles. I cling to The Legend of Zelda series, in part, because there are not many games like it. It is more common to find adventure games that focus on action. So I pay close attention any time I see a new adventure…
