We’ve showcased Jules “FamilyJules7X” Conroy on Music Monday a couple of times in the past. In fact, we featured the guitarist’s cover of Ocarina of Time’s end credits just last week.

Majora’s Mask has a lot of, well, masks — 24 to be exact. Each one is important and necessary to complete the game at 100 percent, but some masks are just more useful than others. BuzzFeed has taken all 24 masks, analyzing each one and ranking them from coolest to lamest. 24. Kafei’s Mask Starting at number…
Zelda has one of the most convoluted timelines I’ve ever seen. Keeping up with what game goes where can be pretty difficult. YouTube artist RogersBase takes on all three timelines, condensing them into a 3-minute rap. After listening to this song, the timeline doesn’t seem all that complicated anymore. Normally I’m not a rap fan, but this…
I think it would be cool to be a Zora. Swimming every day sounds like a pretty good life. Since it’s finally summer and I’m craving the ocean, I wanted to select some fanart that features the Zoras, my absolute favorite Zelda species. Dyru from DeviantArt drew this picture of Mikau from Majora’s Mask. Sitting beside a shipwreck,…
I had the privilege of spending Memorial Day weekend at MomoCon in Atlanta, Ga. In between the panels, gaming tournaments and spending way too much money in the dealer’s room, I made sure to squeeze in an impromptu Legend of Zelda meet-up with some talented ladies, plus get pictures of a few cosplayers roaming about. There…
Since the reveal of Impa as a playable character in Hyrule Warriors, it seems appropriate to feature some Impa fan art this week. VegaColors from DeviantArt created a beautiful portrait of Skyward Sword’s Impa. She’s such a strong character, not just physically but mentally. I love the wistful look in her eyes in this picture.

Zelda fans never cease to amaze me with their artistic abilities. Erika Clark is a talented artisan who specializes in making Zelda props. Her DeviantArt gallery Xiphias-Apomixis showcases crafts from Zelda‘s Nintendo 64 era. Using an assortment of acrylic paints, clay, gloss and sealant, she crafted a Keaton mask from Ocarina of Time and Majora’s Mask onto a cardboard and duct…
“Waiting for the Dawn” is a hauntingly beautiful musical retelling of perhaps the most tragic Zelda game, Majora’s Mask. The two-part EP is composed and directed by Berklee College of Music graduate, Rozen. Joining him is the Audire Soundtrack Choir and featured soloist, Reven. The orchestrations are flawless, and I absolutely love the vocals, especially the romantic, Disney-esque melodies…
From ZU’s own insanely talented EternaLegend is this portrait of Princess Hilda from A Link Between Worlds. Hilda is arguably one of the most emotionally conflicted characters in the Zelda series. Her kingdom is falling apart, and she’s running out of options. EL did a beautiful job illustrating the princess’s inner turmoil. The desperation is apparent in Hilda’s eyes.…
Nintendo is always working on the next new hardware. In fact, once a system launches, Nintendo starts work on the next one.

Since yesterday was Mother’s Day, we are honoring all the matronly figures in the Zelda world. They may not be Master Sword-wielding warriors, but they sure are heroes. Amanda’s picks Misplacing all of your children across two dimensions won’t grant you Mother of the Year. But then if I had 100 crying babies, I probably wouldn’t be able…
Have you ever imagined our favorite princess crossing over into the Pokemon Universe? Deviantart user Lady-Zelda-of-Hyrule gives us an idea of how it might look. As the chosen guardian of the Triforce of Wisdom, it’s only fitting that she train the psychic Pokemon, Espeon. Plus, any royalty knows the importance of coordinating her accessories with her outfit, and Espeon’s lilac fur…
