The re-release of Hyrule Warriors for the Switch was the first time I got to play the Wind Waker storyline, as the DLC for the Wii U only carried over the characters and weapons. I was excited to visit these new locations and explore the new story segments that gave one of my all-time favorite…
Fi is often regarded as “one of those annoying companions” by many Zelda fans, and it’s a real shame. She’s hounded by critiques for annoying mechanics that have nothing to do with her as a character and she’s only remembered fondly for her famous farewell scene. Now I’m not claiming she’s a perfect character as…
Now, it’s no secret that the Tower of the Gods is one of my all–time favorite Zelda dungeons, and one of the things that makes it so epic to me is the music that plays inside the structure. It’s grand enough as is, giving the overtone of a great challenge of wit and strength, but…
Sharks are usually portrayed as enemies in video games, given their on-screen reputation in the media as killing machines. As a huge shark nerd, I don’t always like that they’re portrayed in such a light. In The Legend of Zelda series as a whole, there have only been very few shark enemies. The Gyorg’s of…
Middle school was a good time in my life for gaming. Sure, I had Pokemon and Smash Bros. in elementary, but in middle school, I was beginning to broaden my horizons with new games, including The Legend of Zelda. While that ultimately became my leading love for all game series, three others made an impression…
After we learned that each Link and Zelda were not the same characters in each game, many of us probably questioned: “Why do they all have the same name?” Was it some sort of tradition that each descendent be given the names Link and Zelda generation after generation? In Zelda’s case, yes, that is exactly…
The Wind Waker provided many surprises for me as a child. I wasn’t expecting Jabun to be so gargantuan, I didn’t have a clue that Tetra would turn out to be a princess, and I certainly did not foresee a child to be the Queen of Fairies. I had encountered a few Great Fairies before…
One thing I love about The Legend of Zelda is how it takes elements from its previous games and bring new life to it. Classic characters, locations, and songs always seem to make their way into future installments, bringing a sense of nostalgia and familiarity with whatever new world we’re set to explore. It’s no…
A Link Between Worlds is filled with a colorful cast of characters who I adore to no end. All the sages are filled with personality, Hilda is so complexed and interesting, Yuga is an extraordinary villain, and then there’s Ravio. I came into this game with his identity spoiled by fan art on the internet,…
Error. What can more can be said about this character? He is Error. This blacksmith from Zelda II: The Adventures of Link can be found in the small town of Ruto, standing in his home, just ready to introduce himself. “I am Error,” he says as you enter his home, and either hilarity or confusion ensues.…
My journey with The Legend of Zelda started in about 2006 when I played The Wind Waker for the very first time, but my interest in video games started long before then. My step sisters had a Playstation that they’d bring over on the weekends and they would let me play my first video game…
The Symphony of the Goddesses live concert was one of the greatest musical experiences I’ve ever had. The music itself was fantastic, but it was not the only factor that made the night memorable. The people who attended, other fans of The Legend of Zelda, filled the atmosphere with laughter, joy, and unity, making the…
Ruto, Rauru, Saria, Darunia, and Nabooru. These are all names that we’ve come to know as some of the sages from Ocarina of Time, and from this point on they are referenced throughout Zelda lore. However, what some people may not know (though there are many who do) is that these names did not hail…
Unless you’re really into fishing, being in a fishing shop really isn’t all that exciting. My dad owned one for quite some time and I’d have to work there over the summer with my mom, which is actually how I wound up making money to buy myself a Wii — but that’s another story for…
Why is it that negatives are so much easier to remember than positives? I mean, of course I remember all the great bosses I’ve fought in The Legend of Zelda: Stallord, Molgera, Twinrova, Koloktos — just to name a few. This series is full of wonderful boss battles, which I guess makes the terrible ones…
