Halloween is over, but we can still talk about spooky things, right? No? Well, I’m going to anyway. Everyone’s got that one Zelda enemy (or maybe even an ally) that scares the living daylights out of them. No matter how old we get or how many times we play those games, there’s always that one…
“Awaiting His Return” by Art-Zealot is a beautiful piece of fan art for Skyward Sword. Fi watches over Link as he enters the silent realm, patiently waiting for him to come back from his spiritual trial. Though the art itself is gorgeous, what I love even more is the story behind it. Art-Zealot states in…
Zelda’s lullaby has always been a favorite of mine, and I always find myself singing it around the house, at work, in the car, and every other place I go. I know what you’re thinking, how does one sing a song without lyrics? My reply can best be expressed with Jillian Aversa’s vocal arrangement of…
I usually do not consider myself a very lucky person, but there are a few exceptions to this. New York Comic-Con 2013 was just that. It was the last year that Nintendo had a game demo station at NYCC, and usually, I’m not one for waiting in line for demos, but I saw a preview of…
Minuet of the Forest is a piece I scarcely find covered or remixed and I can not seem to understand why, especially when I listened to RebeccaETripp’s rendition. “Dance of the Fairies” is a lovely cover of the Zelda tune in a very Celtic style. Listening to this song, the instruments used in this piece make it…
Ever since I saw the teaser art for Fi, I had a good feeling about her. When I finally played Skyward Sword, I found myself enjoying her character. Many things about her stood out to me, both positively and negatively. She had some good, some bad, and everything in between. Overall I found her to be enjoyable,…
Hyrule Warriors has added quite a variety of characters to the Zelda universe, including Linkle, the lady hero of legend. She is said to be a female version of Link, but still existing in the same universe as the male Link we all know and love, so seeing fanart such as raposavyk’s “Linkle and Link”…
Adventuring through a dungeon in the Legend of Zelda is so much fun, with all of its thrills and challenges; that is until you hit a roadblock and you can’t figure out what to do, staring at the screen for hours at a time before finally rage-quitting for months before you pick up the game…
I’m not sure why, but this week I had an overwhelming urge to listen to “the Market theme” from Ocarina of Time, and sure enough, I found this great cover of it by YouTube user Tweex. It’s so cheerful and upbeat, just like the merry Castle Town of Hyrule’s past. The title given to this remix…
I cry a lot. I always have, and I always will. It’s just a part of who I am. It was very hard for me to go through most Zelda games without crying at least once; whether it was out of fear, sadness, or joy, there is no denying that I bawl my eyes out…
“Oh great hero, chosen by the Master Sword!” The words of the Earth Sage Laruto come to mind when listening to “Ancient Hero”, a remixed rendition of “The Legendary Hero” by DarkeSword (from OC Remix). This cover of the Wind Waker melody is absolutely worth the listen; the orchestration is wonderful, keeps true to the spirit of…
When I first saw the design for Link in Hyrule Warriors, all I had to say was “fantastic”. He looked amazing, just like he does in this Hyrule Warriors fanart by Ferisae. First and foremost, Link looks amazing. His hair, his hands, his expression; everything about the character himself looks great. Then there’s the style…
I’m sure most of us had a crush on a fictional character when we were kids, and for me, Link was my prince charming. Of course, I went through several different fictional crushes, but Link was the most meaningful one. What little girl didn’t dream about a dashing hero who will fight for her? That’s…
It was a while before I was able to play either Oracle of Ages or Oracle of Seasons. It was very hard to find; I looked on Amazon only to find ridiculous prices for the two games. I had given up hope until my 17th birthday, when my two amazing friends pitched in and found…
When Tri Force Heroes first came out, a lot of us questioned: “What ever happened to Purple Link?” There are supposed to be four Link’s, right? Alas, he never made his way into the game, and we can only speculate where Purple may have wandered. I suppose he went off to a distant land on…
