In the Nintendo Treehouse segment on the upcoming Link’s Awakening remake, the team gave a sneak peek of the Color Dungeon, a dungeon originally exclusive to the DX version of the game. Treehouse staffer Audrey Drake runs us through the first puzzle, before bombing a wall to a secret room full of rupees. She stopped there to avoid spoiling…
Here’s another interesting tidbit from the recent Nintendo Treehouse stream on Link’s Awakening. While demonstrating gameplay in Mabe Village, Treehouse staffer Audrey Drake explained, “Your sword, shield, things like your Power Bracelet, Pegasus Boots are always equipped.” In the original game, you had to manually equip all of your items, assigning each one to the A or…
In the recent Nintendo Treehouse segment on the Link’s Awakening remake, the team were fortunate enough to play the game alongside Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma. Aonuma said that he’s “always wanted to remake this title,” and that now seemed like the perfect time to do so. “Breath of the Wild broke the convention of Zelda, and now because a…
We caught a ton of boss fights in yesterday’s Nintendo Direct trailer of the Link’s Awakening remake, but the following Nintendo Treehouse stream was generous enough to show us one more. The Treehouse challenged Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma to complete one of their custom Chamber Dungeons. With over 20 years of experience overseeing the Zelda series, Aonuma of course…
We previously reported on the exciting special editions in North America and Europe, and now it looks like the Dreamer Edition is also headed to Japan too. This is the same edition as the one releasing in North America, though there is no word on Europe’s steelbook bundle making its way to Japan at this…
Europe wins again! While North America’s Dreamer Edition looks lovely, the European limited edition of the Link’s Awakening Nintendo Switch remake tops it with a steelbook case in the style of the original Game Boy (the platform of the original game). This edition also includes a 120-page, hardback art book, though this one has a different…

Link’s Awakening’s box art has been revealed, and it’s just as beautiful as you’d expect. The colors are just bursting out of the box, and Link is more adorable than ever. Look at his little face! Today’s Nintendo Direct presentation revealed a brand new trailer for the game, and a Nintendo Switch launch date of…
One thing the latest Link’s Awakening remake trailer isn’t lacking is combat — there are half a dozen fleeting appearances of the game’s big bads! The original game was crammed full of weird and wonderful boss fights, so it’s very exciting to see all of these monsters re-emerge in a whole new visual style. Hinox This is…
Still reeling from that announcement? You’re not the only one! To celebrate the surprise reveal of the Breath of the Wild sequel, we’ve rearranged the forums to emphasize discussion on the new title. Check it out, and share your excitement with fellow Zelda fans!
Recently, a rare interview with Nintendo Producer Shigeru Miyamoto was rediscovered from a 1992 issue of Electric Brain magazine. In it, he discussed many of the challenges that Nintendo faced while developing the incredibly ambitious Zelda title, A Link to the Past. It’s a fascinating read that covers many aspects of the design process of the game. There…
Last month, in our weeklong, 30th-anniversary celebration of the Game Boy, I explored some trivia regarding the incredibly rare Zelda Edition of the Game Boy Camera. The elusive accessory included Ocarina of Time pictures and stamps which were only available on the limited Zelda Edition. While we got a small glimpse of what they look like (again,…
I’ll be honest: I wasn’t expecting 2019 to be a big year for The Legend of Zelda. As we began the year, it looked like Metroid was going to be the big event at this year’s E3, with Animal Crossing and Pokemon set to dominate the rest of the anticipated Direct presentation. Expectations have changed a lot since then, as…
This was almost going to be a fairly dull heads-up that the Japanese trailer for Cadence of Hyrule has been released — dull because the footage appeared to be exactly the same as the English version. Watching them both side-by-side, however, reveals that there is a sliver of new gameplay. OK, it still isn’t anything mind-blowing,…
I always wanted a Game Boy Camera. It was an accessory compatible with all Game Boy systems (excluding the Micro) which allowed users to snap and store digital photos, and to customize them with Nintendo-themed stamps. The ads and the magazines made it look so fun, and as a child constantly glued to my Game…
