I first came across a character named Fado in The Wind Waker. I later found out that the rancher’s name in Twilight Princess was also Fado. I realized the name was the same but didn’t think much of it — that is until I discovered that in Ocarina of Time there was another character named Fado…
I’m sure I’ve talked countless times about how Ravio is my favorite Zelda character, and there’s a lot of reasons for it. He’s funny, he’s clever, and most importantly, even though he sees himself as a coward, he still makes an effort to do the right thing. He knows Hilda is struggling, and even though…
There’s a place in The Wind Waker we all must venture to at one point in our journey that I find myself visiting time and time again — once I have all the proper equipment, of course. That place would be the Ice Ring Isle. While it’s only necessary to complete its trial once, I always make…
The original scores created for Majora’s Mask were composed with the same care and passion as its predecessor, and while many of them, such as the “Song of Healing” and “Stone Tower Theme,” are widely celebrated, one track I feel goes a bit underappreciated is the theme of Tatl and Tael’s reunion. Because of this,…
A lot of gamers these days complain that there are too many tutorials, too much hand-holding, and no confidence that players will understand new controls. While I do agree with this most of the time, there are some cases in older games where the game could stand to help you out a bit more. This…
Some of the most memorable scenes in Skyward Sword for me are those when you have completed a dungeon and Fi graces you with a dance. She does this as she conveys an ancient message from Hylia, accompanied by a moving rendition of “Ballad of the Goddess”. Her fluid movements and graceful spins linger on…
I don’t know about you, but I’m very particular about the costumes I pick in Super Smash Bros. Once I pick one, I stick with it, so I take my time deciding which one I like the best. I consider things like color and visibility on-screen, and something that especially piques my interest in a…
In 1998, the world was given one of the most revolutionary games ever: Ocarina of Time. Everything about this title would change how not only Zelda games but other games would evolve in time to come. To me, however, I think the best thing about this game is its outstanding soundtrack, and to this day…
I love Makar. Like, he’s one of my favorite Wind Waker characters ever. I tell you this because the story I’m about to share is about the time I did something stupid, and poor little Makar got tangled up in the mess. It was a total accident and I feel really bad about it. But…
The dungeons in The Legend of Zelda that entrance me most are those that make you feel like you’re truly in a fantastical realm. In these locations, there are hints of magic everywhere you look. They feel grand and spacious, giving you the urge to explore every nook and cranny. While the dungeon that makes…
Now I’m sure that many people who saw one before the other certainly thought to themselves, “Hey, that Nabbit guy looks like Ravio” or “Hey, Ravio looks kind of like Nabbit”. I was one of those myself when I first encountered Nabbit in Smash 4, not being able to resist comparing the similarities in design…
The Legend of Zelda has always had an extraordinary cast of characters. Many of those women left an impact on me, being some of the best written, well rounded, or overall inspirational characters I’ve ever known, and this International Women’s Day, I would like to share these characters and what they mean to me with you!
The Great Fairies of Breath of the Wild are truly something to behold. These larger-than-life characters are just brimming with charisma and mystique and it’s always exciting to visit them on your journey to save Hyrule. In this game, the fairies have been given a fabulous makeover which can brilliantly be seen in rongs1234’s artwork,…
Kakariko Village is a reoccurring town found throughout Zelda lore. Generally a farming town, it’s a quiet and relaxing place to visit, play some games, do some side quests, and overall procrastinate from what really matters. Though the location has had a change in the theme song from time to time, this song has become…
While I’m not really big on shipping, if you’ve seen my Valentine’s Day articles for the past few years, you’ll know that I do have a soft spot for ZeLink (so if ZeLink isn’t your cup of tea, this is not the article for you!). As an adult, I still enjoy this pairing, but during…
