As we near the one year anniversary of our beloved Breath of the Wild, I thought it only fitting to share the memories of my first encounter with this game. Breath of the Wild was my taste of open-world gaming, and wow, was I spoiled! As I avoided all but the two main trailers like the plague, little did I know what I was about to behold.
Sheik’s Theme has always been a haunting tune that lingers in the back of my mind. I always wished for it to appear in titles after Ocarina of Time, but being as Sheik was only seen in that particular game, it makes sense why the beautiful melody did not return. However, that doesn’t mean we…
Breath of the Wild’s soundtrack is composed of so many calming tunes to match it’s aesthetically pleasing scenery. One of my favorites would be the riding music, whether by day or night. A wonderful new feature in this game is that a well-trained horse can follow a path naturally and you are free to immerse yourself…
The Rito were the first exotic race I was introduced to in the Legend of Zelda series, and I have been in love with them ever since. When I saw that they would finally be returning in Breath of the Wild, I could not be more delighted! Their beautiful new designs had me thrilled beyond measure and the return of the “Dragon Roost Island Theme” nearly had me in tears. Not only this, but the outfit that the tribe had to offer would quickly become one of my favorites in the game.
Ravio is one of my favorite Zelda characters of all time. Throughout A Link Between Worlds, he was always a delight to return to whenever I was in need of new weapons or honestly, just something to brighten my mood. His silly blurbs of dialogue would never cease to make me smile and I equally…
Valentine’s Day is here again, and though I usually use this as an excuse to talk about ZeLink, this year I thought I’d expand my horizons. Instead, I would like to share some fan art of other pairings as well as the hero-princess power couple. The Legend of Zelda fans love to explore the relationships between characters.…
I remember my first encounter with a Great Fairy and just how magical the whole experience felt. With The Wind Waker being my first Legend of Zelda game, I had no idea that these fairies even existed! I hadn’t a clue of what was to come when I saw a large conch shell rising above…
To me, one of the most memorable parts of The Wind Waker was entering the Forest Haven for the first time. It was fun grappling up the river and making my way inside the ginormous tree in the middle of the ocean. Upon entering, you are greeted with a quirky tune as you make your way up…
The Legend of Zelda has quite an array of engaging boss battles, and it’s very rare that I find one of these monstrous foes that are not challenging or entertaining. However, that all changed when I played Ocarina of Time. Now don’t get me wrong, Ocarina of Time had plenty of good boss battles: Phantom…
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was my first taste of open-world gaming. It featured a vast, new world to explore and so many options for what I could do. I didn’t have to follow a structured storyline and could do as I pleased. This idea, once so foreign to me, had swiftly become…
One of the greatest things in Breath of the Wild is climbing. Why? You can climb any surface in the overworld — even if it’s seemingly impossible in real life. For me, this made travel so much easier, as instead of having to find routes around the mountains to get to your destination, you can…
Oh the weather outside is frightful, but our princess is so delightful. Bundled up head to toe, let it snow, let it snow, let it snow! As seen in the The Champions’ Ballad trailers, Princess Zelda gets an additional outfit to her wardrobe and she looks absolutely precious! By the time you are reading this,…
“Saria’s Song” has been and always will be one of my favorite Zelda songs. It’s perky, upbeat nature and bouncing bass is always a pleasure to hear, and I always tear up a bit when I see it return to new games — even non-Zelda games, such as Super Smash Bros. Melee and Nintendo Land! …
Working at a major toy store can be very stressful, especially during the holidays, but the one thing that I did enjoy during my time working at one was getting to see all the new toy releases from my favorite brands — Nintendo included. Whenever I would walk around the store putting away products that customers…
Nabooru was a character I was always interested in since I first discovered her in the Ocarina of Time manga series. At first I thought she was a completely new and made-up character specifically for the manga, but later I was delighted to see that she was, in fact, a part of the game itself.…
