Every now and then, you come across a game, movie, or a book that impacts your life more than you could imagine. For me, it’s Ocarina of Time. Ocarina of Time was first released in Japan on November 21, 1998. This month, we celebrate the 20th anniversary of one of the most beloved games of all…

Merchoid has revealed four new premium officially licensed Zelda bags. First up (and my personal favorite) is the “Little Voice Inside My Head” Navi handbag. This light blue purse comes decorated with a Navi tassel, the map of Hyrule on the strap, and a subtle Triforce design imprinted on the fabric. Our favorite enthusiastically helpful fairy has…

The artwork features a minimalistic design with the Smash emblem lightly shadowed atop a white background. The new controller is priced at $29.99. Do keep in mind that in order to use it on the Switch, it will require an adapter. Each…
Twilight Princess is one of my favorite Zelda games. It took everything Ocarina of Time did and improved upon it, with one exception: a character named Ilia. I cannot stand Ilia. From the way she has Link learn Epona’s Song on Horse Grass, to planning to surprise Link with a handmade Horse Call, she makes…
Think Geek has released a new line of geeky swimwear for men, including Nintendo board shorts with Mario and Zelda designs. These Kokiri green shorts with yellow Wingcrests, Master Swords, and Hylian Shields may not be Link’s famous Breath of the Wild boxers, but they certainly are more practical. They also have a pocket to hold your Rupees…
Fans have been hoping for it, and Nintendo is delivering. Coming later this year is Super Smash Brothers for the Nintendo Switch. The announcement came at the end of today’s Nintendo Direct. As the preview started off with an Inkling battle followed by the giant flaming Smash logo, it’s safe to say that Splatoon will be represented in the…
When Joe Hernandez, the voice of Gorons Daruk and Yunobo, auditioned for Breath of the Wild, he had no clue what he was auditioning for. In an interview with Cat With Monocle, Hernandez revealed, “I remember the specs calling for a British/Mid-Atlantic voice, which was in my wheelhouse. I remember nothing in any of the audition…

As a kid, I loved my NES and eventually I wanted to make my own video games. So I asked my all-knowing big sister how I could go about doing so, to which she replied, “You have to do a lot of math.” Well, that didn’t sound like any fun to my 8-year-old self, so I…

Three Breath of the Wild plushies have appeared on Tokyo Otaku Mode: Link, a Bokoblin, and a Sheikah Slate. Link wears his signature Champion’s Tunic, while the Bokoblin wields a club (the plushie Bokoblin is much cuter than the ones found in the game). The Sheikah Slate is great since it’s technically a cushion, and…
I always enjoy learning about glitches. Whether they are beneficial, silly, or game-breaking, glitches are just interesting. By exploiting a newly found glitch in Breath of the Wild, you can leave the Shrine of Resurrection without having the Sheikah Slate. To do this, you’ll want to start a brand new game over an existing save file,…
