The music from the Legend of Zelda has always been very important to me. It not only determined my taste in music, but it greatly inspired me to do something I never thought I would do. My mother is a piano teacher, and when I turned seven I began taking lessons — or rather was…
Playing a Legend of Zelda game takes you on a fantastic adventure, but even pre-ordering is a quest in itself. Whenever a new game comes out that I know I want, I go straight to the store and put it on reserve. I have always been the type of person who would do this as soon…
Prince Altea versus the Legendary Hero, Falchion against the Master Sword, who will win this ultimate face-off? “Sudden Death” by CharlieRomeo on DeviantArt is an art piece of two of Nintendo’s greatest swordsmen locked in combat. Along with the Legend of Zelda, Fire Emblem has been a favorite game franchise of mine ever since I was young.…
For as long as I can remember, I have heard that Ocarina of Time was the greatest Legend of Zelda game to ever exist. It was a game that so many had grown up with. I suppose I could have been a part of it, but there were a few factors that prevented me from…
I was first introduced to the Palace Theme in Super Smash Bros. Melee, playing in the background of the famous Temple stage. It wasn’t my favorite Zelda tune from the start, but over time I grew to like it. After finally playing the source game, the Adventures of Link, this song became very significant to…
Truly a calm and serene piece of music, SamiaAntha performs a wonderful cover of Serenade of Water on the harp.

A perfect song to listen to…
There is no way The Legend of Zelda and techno beat music go together — at least, that was what I used to think. A few years back, I was given the task to find dance music for a small convention being held at my local library, and of course I wanted to find a…
When I think of Fi from Skyward Sword, a few words that come to mind would be graceful, elegant, and radiant; however the artwork done by DeviantArt user Wynahiros takes a unique twist on the character. Instead of using the bright colors that Skyward Sword is known for, the artist uses darker tones. Fi is…
Cruising through the open seas of The Wind Waker was such a calm, leisurely part of the game that “On the Great Sea” by fluffysheeps has captured perfectly. The warm colors and soft strokes are wonderful, and add to that relaxing feeling. The way the twilit clouds transitions into the open starred sky is a wonderful reflection of the…
The Ultimate Zelda Medley, performed by String Player Gamer with the assistance of the Mini Mario Orchestra, and arrangement by Diwa De Leon, is one of the most fantastic Legend of Zelda medleys I have ever heard. I discovered this gem a few months back while delving into the depths of YouTube. Once I started listening, I could…
