We’ve seen plenty of familiar faces appear in Breath of the Wild so far, including the Koroks, the Great Deku Tree, Wolf Link and maybe — just maybe —the eccentric shopkeeper, Beedle. It seems the Zelda reunion is only growing livelier, as now we’ve learned that a certain long-faced companion will be making her triumphant return. In…
If you were shopping on Amazon this past weekend while still buzzing from all of the Nintendo Switch and Breath of the Wild announcements, you may have come across the official Piggyback Collector’s Edition Guide for the game. In a bizarre move, however, it appears the product is no longer available from the retailer. The UK and US product…
We’ve been waiting for the Breath of the Wild Amiibo for a good while now, and during that time we’ve already been teased with a close look at the figures themselves. Now, thanks to new listings on Nintendo’s CPSIA page (and NintendoTweet on Twitter for the heads-up), we’re also given a glimpse at the packaging they’ll…
So then, how did you guys enjoy Halloween? Dress up as Link? Fight some ReDeads? Endure the terrifying acting and animation in the CD-i games? If you got tricked, never fear, for Nintendo have a special treat to make up for it. Nintendo decided to celebrate the spooky season with some new Breath of the Wild…
Ever since the reveal of Clyde Mandelin’s latest and most ambitious Legends of Localization project, a book devoted to the original Legend of Zelda, my curiosity had hit its peak. Exploring and comparing the differences between the North American and Japanese versions of the first game of the Zelda franchise was something that struck me fascinated immediately.…
Collaborative duo Akira Himekawa have teased a new piece of artwork on their Facebook page for their upcoming Twilight Princess manga, this time showing Zelda and Zant. Our princess is looking rather angry and wielding her rapier fiercely, so I’d wager that this is based on the flashback scene in the game where Zant attacks Hyrule Castle.…
It seems Capcom are continuing the (very welcome) trend of Zelda DLC with their Monster Hunter franchise, having introduced Link’s armour and weapons in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate last year. This time, it’s our cel-shaded counterpart taking the stage in the upcoming Monster Hunter Generations. The game’s new Prowler Mode allows you to play as a Felyne, offering an…
Learning that Nintendo would be attending next week’s Hyper Japan Festival in London was enough to amp up my excitement, but now my hype is off the charts. Nintendo has now confirmed that Breath of the Wild will be demonstrated live on stage at the event. The festival runs through July 15-17, with demos being hosted…
As if getting the chance to play Breath of the Wild wasn’t bad enough, I’m also very jealous of the fact that E3 attendees got to visit the amazing Zelda booth Nintendo presented at E3. In an interview with Venturebeat, Nintendo’s senior director of corporate comunications, Charlie Scibetta, offered a little insight into the creation of this…
When a livestream goes on for a third of an entire day, it’s pretty likely you’re going to have missed some of it. Fortunately, all of that Breath of the Wild footage from the Treehouse stream is now uploaded to Nintendo’s YouTube channel, and you can find it all compiled here. The entire stream is available in…
All in all, I think it’s fair to say the Zelda fanbase is rather hyped for Breath of the Wild, with a hugely enthusiastic general response to the new gameplay features and focus on freedom. Nintendo has committed one highly blasphemous design choice though — prepare yourself for this — Link is right-handed again. I know. Just…
Yesterday, amidst the chaotic influx of exciting new Breath of the Wild details, we mentioned that we were already working on a walkthrough for the game. Well, exciting news: chapter one is now complete! You can now see beautiful new images of the game’s introduction, as well as very detailed instructions to help you get Link…
What a phenomenal day it’s been for Zelda fans. For years since Skyward Sword‘s release, we’ve been aching for news on the series’ next console instalment. We’ve suffered long droughts of silence from Nintendo, only to be teased with the smallest scraps of vague details on rare occasions. Today, that changed: we learned a heck of lot…
If you’re all done with the Cave of Shadows in Twilight Princess HD, you may actually not want to retire your Wolf Link Amiibo just yet. If you missed the news earlier, you can summon Wolf Link into your adventure in Breath of the Wild using the figure. Now we have a new trailer which demonstrates gameplay footage…
Now hang on a minute here. It’s bad enough that you lucky folks at E3 get to play the new Zelda game, but you’re getting a special commemorative Breath of the Wild coin too? Thanks to Nintendo Inquirer on Twitter, here’s a close look at the medal: Here's a close-up look of the medal players receive after…
