I love Skyward Sword, but I’ve never been a fan of Fi. She had no idea what Link was going through; all she did was spout out useless statistics. Then I listened to “May We Meet Again”, Rozen’s arrangement of Fi’s Farewell. My opinion of her completely changed. Link wasn’t the only one to become stronger on…
Recently, I had the privilege of attending MomoCon, an animation and gaming convention held every year in Atlanta, Ga. Dressed as Malon, I joined up with fellow costumed Zelda fans to celebrate our favorite series. Cosplayers depicted characters from multiple Zelda generations. While we had a number of Links and Zeldas, I was excited to see there were…
Many of you were lucky enough to see world-class conductor Eimear Noone flourish her very own Wind Waker at the Symphony of the Goddesses concert. Hailing from Ireland, Noone honors her heritage with the upcoming project, Songs of Zelda: A Link to the Celts. At the Dublin International Game Music Festival this past April, the DIT Irish Traditional Music Ensemble played an…
Mario and Zelda games have been known to throw in the occasional Easter egg. Chain Chomps from Mario can be found in Link’s Awakening, and the Warp Whistle from Super Mario Bros. 3 plays the same melody as Link’s Recorder in the original Legend of Zelda. The developers of Splatoon, Nintendo’s colorful new exclusive, got in on the Easter egg hunt, as pointed…
Earlier this month, we were treated to Act One of Hyrule Warriors: The Movie, a fan film directed by Zelda Universe’s media editor, Alex Trevino. The film is made up of cutscenes from the Hyrule Warriors game combined with complete voice acting. While Act One setup the the story, Act Two is pure action. Cia holds the Triforce of Power,…
When you play a Zelda game, you’re transported to fantastical new lands. Once you’re there, you may start to imagine completely new worlds to explore. Adventuring in Hyrule is what inspired Joe Granato to create the land of Myrinda, and start developing a game called Mystic Searches. Granato formed the idea of Mystic Searches when he was just eight years…
Being a girl has its benefits, and getting to wear cute bras is one of them! BuzzFeed put together a list of 25 bras every geeky girl needs in her lingerie drawer, and a few Nintendo picks including The Legend of Zelda made the cut. After going over the list, I just had to see if there…
Every time I listen to a new musical arrangement by Rozen, I’m amazed at how much talent can reside in one person. A few months ago, he released “Termina’s Demise”, and last year he brought us “Waiting for the Dawn” — both being covers from Majora’s Mask. Now he’s back with another Zelda arrangement, and this time he’s…
Many people will be spending the weekend celebrating Passover, which begins today at sundown, or Easter this Sunday. Both mark miraculous occasions of light overcoming darkness, so I wanted this week’s Fanart Friday to reflect that. According to the story of Passover, the ninth plague to hit Egypt was darkness, which covered the land for three days.…
There have been rumblings of a Nintendo Direct happening on April 1, but many fans (myself included) dismissed it as an April Fools Day prank. Turns out the rumors were true, as there will indeed be a Nintendo Direct tomorrow — no joke! Following the Direct is a live presentation from the Nintendo Treehouse featuring…
As Zelda fans, we like to show our love for our favorite franchise every chance we get. Nearly everyone has a book or tablet they carry with them on a regular basis, so storing it in a Hyrulian carrying case can really display that Zelda pride. This Triforce-emblazoned leather case from Etsy seller SkinsNhydez is perfect for carrying your…
When the limited edition Majora’s Mask New 3DS XL went on pre-sale, retailers not only sold out within 15 minutes, they over sold. Fans who thought they were lucky enough to get their pre-orders in were terribly disappointed upon finding an order cancellation email in their inbox. Well, Nintendo and GameStop are giving fans a second…
I’m always on the lookout for fun new Zelda tops to wear when I host Zelda News each week. Today only, ShirtPunch is offering four different Legend of Zelda T-shirts, and they’re only $10 each! They come in both adult and youth sizes, and for just a dollar more, you can them in a fitted style — a great option…
In collaboration with Player Piano, The Zelda Project has released a trailer for their upcoming fan short, The Final Battle. The Zelda Project team have spent the past two years working on the film and their effort certainly shows. The music is beautifully orchestrated and perfect for an epic adventure. Link, played by Wes Johnson, was…
Hiding your true feelings from your crush is hard, but imagine having to conceal your identity too. After a while, the deception becomes too much. That’s what Zelda had to deal with in Ocarina of Time when she became Sheik. DeviantArt user Queen-Zelda illustrates the incognito princess’s inner turmoil in this picture, entitled “I’m Sorry for Everything”. Zelda, disguised as…
