In this episode, Amanda presents to us adorable costumes that are unlockable in Yoshi’s Wooly World through the Link, Mario, and Donkey Kong Amiibo. As a matter of fact, Yoshi’s Wooly World will be compatible with…
Midna is by far one of the most beloved characters in the Zelda saga, not to mention Twilight Princess. She is arguably Link’s best companion yet, and adds a bit of charm and dark humor that has been sorely lacking from the Zelda series. She is also an incredibly complex character and as the game goes on you slowly…
The Wind Waker is by far one of the most charming titles in the entire Zelda saga. Tetra is a delight and a wonderful take on the already established Princess Zelda character, and the story is incredibly engrossing with its call backs to Ocarina of Time and previous Zelda titles. It is definitely up there as one of my favorite Zelda…
The final boss battle in Ocarina of Time is both one of the most recognizable final battles in all of video games and one of the most epic. One of the things that makes the battle so memorable isn’t the size or scope of the fight, which was huge in scale for its time, but the music.…
Zelda from Skyward Sword is one of my favorite incarnations of the character. She is not only elegant, but she also goes on a journey of her own that parallels Link’s from the title and develops as a character. This piece of art by Nechii of DeviantArt entitled “Skyward Sword: Zelda” expresses this through sheer artwork alone. Zelda shows…
I was only six years old when A Link to the Past came out on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, but it has influenced my life profoundly. If I hadn’t received it as a gift from my uncle, I probably would not be here writing! A Link to the Past will always hold a special place in…
Graphic artist and painter Vadu Amka has made a beautiful custom-made Nintendo 64 console based on the system’s signature title, Ocarina of Time. It was created as a gift for a huge fan of the series, just like so many of us! The system was created with the three Spiritual Stones as one of its foci. If you…
Japanese media outlet Nikkei has come out with some promising financial projections for Nintendo regarding the latest fiscal year (which ended this past March). While they were originally forecast to operate with a profit of 20 billion yen for the year, they exceeded expectations and now anticipate posting an operating profit of 25 billion yen.…
Licensing monolith Viz Media, who just released the A Link to the Past graphic novel and has released countless volumes of Akira Himekawa’s Legend of Zelda manga series, has made a partnership with Symphony of the Goddesses, whereby volumes of Himekawa’s timeless manga will be available for purchase at future Symphony of the Goddesses performances. Himekawa has adapted many Zelda titles in manga…
In the latest issue of Famitsu, the Japanese gaming publication got the chance to sit down and talk with the head of Koei Tecmo Games, Hisashi Koinuma. Though they talked about numerous topics, Hyrule Warriors happened to come up. While no hard numbers were mentioned, Koinuma attributed their much-stronger-than-expected fiscal earnings to the sales numbers of Hyrule Warriors. As per Koinuma, “Hyrule Warriors…
Link’s Awakening set a lot of standards later used in the Zelda franchise. It was the first game to take place outside of Hyrule, the first direct sequel to its predecessor, the first Zelda title not to involve the titular character, and it had a diverse and lovable assortment of NPCs. “Ballad of the Windfish” is one of…
Nintendo World held a launch event this past Friday evening from 6-8pm EDT to promote the release of the A Link to the Past graphic novel, which has been licensed by Viz Media. It was revealed a few weeks ago that during the launch event, those that purchased the graphic novel would receive an exclusive poster to…
It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for! After days of sneak peeks, the full version of Hyrule Warriors: The Movie‘s first act is upon us. The project started in late February as Zelda Universe’s Lead Media Editor, Alexander Trevino, began casting for the film, compiling all of the cutscenes in Hyrule Warriors and adding full voice acting. Little…
Twilight Princess is one of the most controversial Zelda games. While it bolstered a large overworld that begged for exploration, some felt it was barren without enough content. Players also complained that Link’s sidekick, Midna, took too much of the spotlight from our favorite hero. Regardless of your opinion of the game or its characters, this…
It’s one day before the first act of Alexander Trevino’s Hyrule Warriors: The Movie is set to be released, which means we have one more sneak peek for you! Entitled “The Light Sorceress”, this preview introduces us to the bubbly Lana, who promises to let our heroes know what Cia wants from Hyrule as long as they help her defend…
