For this weeks Fanart Friday, I have chosen Nicole Gustafsson’s (Nimasprout) 2010 entry for the Desert Bus 4 Hope charity fundraiser for Child’s Play. Titled “Treasure!” the fanart depicts Link and the King of Red Lions hauling treasure inside a bottle. There’s something very surreal about the painting and gives me the impression that Link…
Picture this. You’ve just spent an entire week whizzing through your first play through of The Wind Waker. You’ve been smacking Bokoblins with sticks, decimating Moblins and slicing up Darknuts like a boss. You annihilate the Tower of Gods and Hyrule Castle in five minutes. You restore the Master Sword in no time. Feeling smug, you’re then told that you…
Welcome fellow ghouls and gals! Abandon hope all ye who enter, as Zelda Universe invites you to a week long celebration of scares. Journey with me through the realm of shadows for a devilishly disturbing melody to haunt your dreams on this all hallows eve. Listen…If you dare. Here is gathered our bloody history of greed and hatred.…
Welcome to this week’s Fanart Friday. Today I have chosen “The Little Hylian” by Flickr User Daniel Bressette. This picture reminded me of how Majora’s Mask was such a weird and fantastically original game that felt like a Studio Ghibli film. Like Chihiro in Spirited Away, Link finds himself in a magical new land and…
Today marked the first reveal of Nintendo’s next generation console, the Nintendo Switch (previously codenamed NX). If you haven’t seen the reveal, click here now. Don’t worry I’ll wait. Done? Ok, good. So after months and months of speculation, people finally got to see the new console and how people could interact with it to play…
While scouring the interwebs for this week’s Music Monday piece and almost dying from choice anxiety (well done Zelda fans), I came across this amazing piece of art by Youtube user Jeesh. Check it out below. I’m a huge fan of Alice by Youtube user Pogo and what Pogo did for Alice in Wonderland, Jeesh…
Welcome Ladies and Gents to this week’s Throwback Thursday, where yours truly remembers when he visited the house that Link (and Mario) built. In 2013, I had the amazing opportunity to travel around Japan. The first stop on my itinerary was the uber metropolis of Tokyo. In Tokyo, I went to Akihabara, met robots, hung out with…
Good morning fellow Zelda fans, and welcome to another edition of Music Monday. To set your week off on the right foot, I’ve chosen Makar’s prayer song from the Wind Waker. I know that every time I hear this song, I feel like just jamming along on whatever instrument I can find. Maybe it’s because I’m…
For anyone who played The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker after Majora’s Mask, or even Ocarina of Time, the art style was a significant departure from the earlier titles. Although many fans still crave a photorealistic Legend of Zelda, the art style of The Wind Waker was gorgeous and really set the game apart…
Welcome to another Music Monday, and this week I’ve chosen the Temple of Time Remix by Newgrounds user “Mick-Mad.” If you’re a fan of anything relating to the Temple of Time, have a listen below. [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkawhrSZm5U&w=560&h=315] For me, remixes are usually disappointing, as most of the remixes I have heard take the essence of the…
Picture this. You’re Link and you’re in that room in the water temple. You see Dark Link, and, like every enemy you’ve come across, you attack by smashing the B button. Except, to your surprise, you hit nothing but air as Dark Link somersaults himself away from your every blow. What seemingly started off as a…
For those of you who remember 1989, you’ll probably remember the fall of the Berlin wall, the first Game Boy or when Ice Cube left N.W.A. Nintendo, however, remembers it for altogether reasons, except the Game Boy part (I’m sure they remembered that). 1989 saw the publicly traded shares of Nintendo plummet in price due to…
Last week, Eurogamer reported from its sources suggesting that the NX will be a handheld console with detachable controllers. Nintendo fan and NeoGAF user, Pittree, created these amazing mock ups based upon those rumours and the results are amazing. Pittree originally submitted this mock up on July 27 to NeoGAF (presumably before reading the Eurogamer article) and it showcases the…
Welcome, Zelda fans, to this week’s Throwback Thursday. Link’s adventures through Hyrule and beyond are usually logical and pretty normal by typical fantasy genre standards. The creators of Majora’s Mask, however, decided to take things in a completely different direction as they shipped Link off to the land of Termina. As if Link’s ability to transform himself into…
A few months ago, Nintendo revealed to the world in a press announcement that the newest game in the Legend of Zelda franchise would be released on both the Nintendo Wii U and its next-generation console, codenamed “NX.” Very few details were given about the console itself, other than it would be released in March…
